The masts never wobbled before, but some would say these wobble more than needed.

It's way TOO easy to disable a mast now. The sails don't even get torn anymore. There's no skill in mast peeling anymore. Pirates used to be proud to be able to knock the masts down by hitting them square on (close-quarters, from a distance, at full sail, etc) whether it be with regular cannon fire, thunderbolt, chain shot, or otherwise.
