Her weatherdeck carries either 12 pound cannons or 42 pound carronades and like the other large ships, this is the only place she can carry carronades. She carries four bow chasers and two stern chasers. Obviously, not much more needs to be said about her firepower other than that it is completely enormous. Her damage output per broadside is roughly 25% higher than the Pavel, for instance. This enormous capability for destroying her enemies makes her perfectly suited for her designed role as serving in the line of battle. For this purpose she has also got the highest armour and structure in the game, making her the most difficult target to sink in the game.Īll this of course predictably comes at the expense of her speed and maneuverability. Only the awkward Mortar Brig is slower than the Victory only the gigantic Santisima Trinidad (below) is slower at turning. Together with her poor sailing profile, this makes the Victory tremendously difficult to sail satisfactorily.
Essentially, she is one of the two obvious choices for best ship for serving in the line of battle, but is very poor at performing any other role. Even more so than the previous ships in the guide, it is vital to sail in a group or squadron of ships, or at least with a more nimble escort that can protect your vulnerable stern, particularly as the Victory has a durability value of 1 sink once and its gone forever. However, if you do manage to wield her successfully in battle, she will tear apart any enemy ship.
