Less skilled players will find more use for Sixth Rates in chasing down routing ships - a role which is quickly replaced by other, less flimsy ships. Slower and less agile than the Brig and Sloop, it makes up for this with better combat stats: a stronger hull and a better array of guns.ĭuring the early stages of the game, skilled players will find use for these ships due to their agility: if the wind is caught correctly, you can easily fire a broadside, and then use the wind to swing around and fire off the other side of guns in quick succession. The Sixth Rate is the smallest Ship of the Line.
Their rating is indicative of their power, with First Rates being the heaviest, most powerful - but also most cumbersome - ships 6th rates are the opposite, being relatively weak, but fast and manoeuvreable. Ships of the line are typically the core of Western nations' fleets.
