no, light ships would not damage big ships, that's the point. In "reality" pirates were not attacking Navy ships, they were attacking lightly armed merchants. small ships were ideal for getting away fast. and sea battles between war ships were incredibly slow processes. Unlike in the movies, you could never take out a ship in 2 broadsides. By realistic, do you mean more like the movies, or more like real life? Do you want us to have to spread sand on the deck so we can keep our footing when the blood starts running? Enjoy the game, and be thankful that you live in the 21st century.
