The efficiency of the sails

Recommended Posts

What is the efficiency, in speed, at the steering and cargo sails with a fair wind in comparison with high-speed?

If the speed of high-speed sails-100%, then the steering - X%, and cargo - Y%.

Attention question: what are the values of X and Y?

Если я правильно помню, X = 75% и Y = 60%

 

Great information, thank you!

Ya the only choice I see on sails is speed or handling. 

Speed and weight are the same thing but speed is better. 

A handling sail can allow you to still sail at angles to the wind that a speed sail wont move much at. That could give you a real advantage. 

I'll probably never make a weight sail until they buff/change them though.

Краткий ответ, как большинство из нас знает. Скоростные паруса всегда побеждают.

I know and myself use only speed , but this is the result of empirical observations, not research and study of numbers.

Yes, the sails require a large change for better variability.

so what would be a change that buff weight sails to be on almost equal to speed sails?

-removing the slowing down penalty according to max sail count

-even more weight

-suggestions???

Probably just make them faster than speed sail while ship is closer to full weight, and remove the extra weight bonus.

I am using a mythical large handling sail as my main drive on a schooner and love it; the wind Angle is never anything but green now, so my average speed for a non-stop ship is higher than anyone with standard speed sails. 

 

I basically never have to worry about wind direction ever again.

Oh I love your numbers, don't get me wrong. Its a wakeup call to the developers if anything 🙂

Speed sails needs a nerf or the 2 other sails needs a buff speed wise to begin with.

to nerf speed sails sounds terrible cuz if you have no wind you are sitting on sea for ages and it is already slow as **** anyways no matter the sails...
