I'd say it's between the Ship of the Line (it should have been Fleets in general) and Privateering, but I think Ship of the Line would be my choice. I chose this beast because of the fact that breaking its sails doesn't really do anything, and its deck guns fire twice - meaning that if it has 7 cannons on a side, and those cannons fire twice, you will be slaughtered with 14 incoming cannonballs. Might not be that bad if it's coming from the HMS Newcastle - Chainshot is pathetic unless it manages to hit your sails, and its Firebrand barely does anything, but if you get the HMS Invincible's 14 Explosive cannons, then it really will not end well. Plus, they take forever to sink.

Alone with only broadsides, treasure fleet is hard and would take forever but i have done Fleet with only one svs crew in less than 10 minutes- thats how strong svs crews are and thats how much skill they have

I said privateering. Plundering is easy any day. Unless you get unlucky and get two Behemoths angry at you, your fine. Cannon Defense and Treasure Fleets are very difficult, but if you do them enough, they get predictable, and you know what comes next, which makes it so they aren't too hard. But with privateering, you are facing other players, and that always is different. The fact that you can never predict what your opponent will do in privateering is what makes it the hardest, and requires the most skill.
