Enemy ships getting stronger?

[Dr. Zeppers]

I have noticed an number of enemy NPC ships using Explosive, that were not previously. Very dangerous to get within range of explosive with those ships.

The current Explosive-using ships have ALWAYS had that set. They are:

French/Spanish Cerberus
Corsair
Behemoth
Juggernaut

No other ship uses these.

Were you a Sloop, Galleon, or Damaged-Hull Frigate? What level were/are you?
I don't see how a Warlord can do THIS much damage unless you have one of the lower level ships.

These level sets were ALWAYS this way. Warlords have been Lv33-35, Ferrets Lv1-4, Ironwalls Lv20-22. I don't see a difference except some of these ships have stopped being spawned as flagships. Ships such as the Ironwall Flagship.

Possibly by all of the sunken EITC Ships of late been broken? 1, I don't know what that means. 2, I don't understand lol.

Honestly, dude. God ships? The only GOD SHIP out there is the Goliath, and he can't even be found in the open sea. Disney should make the Goliath spawn in the Uncharted Waters wherever a Juggernaut spawns. That way, if you see a Navy Goliath, there's an EITC Juggernaut

Your joking right?

I kinda agree on that, but heres my idea.
Ships just shouldn't spawn in the spot your in. That's it.

Yes, you have. The current ships that can reach Lv40 or are Lv40 are:

Dreadnought
Behemoth
Death Omen
Juggernaut

Actually, not at all. All ships have the same strength they've always had.

Yeah, I wish we could use other types of ammo for our broadsides. Although, if Disney ever decides to do so, they should lower the Explosive Damage for broadsides. It would be too easy to sink any ship with that kind of firepower.

This is my way to dodge ammo:

Steo 1:
Engage in battle with the ship.
If you are going forward, and the enemy ship shoots to where you are going to ( Fig. 1 ), go in reverse. The ship should keep shooting in front of you while going in reverse ( Fig. 2 ).

Step 2:
If the ship begins to shoot at you while going in reverse ( Fig. 3 ), go forward. The ship should keep shooting behind you ( Fig. 4 ).

Figure 1:

X <\[][][][][]/

Figure 2:

XXXXXXX \[][][][][]/>

Figure 3:

\[][][][][]/> X

Figure 4:

<\[][][][][]/ XXXXXXX

Key:
X = Where the Cannon shot hits.

\[][][][][]/ = The ship.

\[][][ = Front.

][][]/ = Back.

< = The ship moves forward.

> = The ship moves backward.

Sorry for the long post lol.
