SAILING Sailing These parameters determine how your ship sails. Max Speed: Maximum Speed SHIPHow fast your ship can move in battles. Improving battle speed does not improve Open Sea speed. Acceleration: Acceleration Determines how fast the ship gains speed. Deceleration: Deceleration Determines how fast the ship loses speed. Lower values are better if you want to maintain speed, higher values are better if you want to stop quickly. Turning (Fast): Fast Turn Rate The Ship's turn rate in degrees per second. This is how fast the ship turns if it is moving at maximum speed. Turning (Slow): Slow Turn Rate The Ship's turn rate in degrees per second. This is how fast the ship turns if it is moving at a speed of at least 4 knots. Turning Accel: Max Turning Acceleration This shows how fast a ship accelerates into a turn. The higher the value, the faster the ship reaches its maximum turn rate. Turning Decel: Min Turning Deceleration Ships gradually suffer less deceleration as they turn. This shows a minimum amount of deceleration a ship has when turning. Lower numbers (relative to other acceleration stats) are better. Best Point: Best Point The wind angle at which the ship can attain its maximum speed. The wind comes from angle 0o, and angle 180o is running with the wind at your back. Capacity: Capacity How many units of cargo the ship can hold. O.S. Visibility: Open Sea Visibility How far away other ships will spot you on the open sea. O.S. Spotting: Open Sea Spotting Increases your spotting range, allowing you to detect ships beyond their O.S. Visibility. Crew: Crew The maximum number of crew on your ship. Shows the fighting strength of your crew. Target Tracking: Target Tracking Reduces the accuracy penalties you suffer due to your movement and your target's movement. Improves your chance to hit fast moving ships. |

50 ( Huge) LEVEL (SIZE): Level and Size3 9210 The level required to use this ship, and the size of the hull. DURABILITY: Durability The number of ships you have left. Decreases by 1 whenever the ship is defeated in combat (with the exception of skirmish). INSURANCE VALUE: Insurance Value Amount of doubloons you will receive for this ship if she is sunk or scuttled. |

Strategy and Use
Considering the characteristics and widespread use of refits, the Oliphant Heavy is preferable as a poor-mans's port battle ship to the much better armed 'Oliphant' Mastercraft Indiaman.
To spite common belief, this ship is Surprisingly useful, as either a Heavy Group Vessel or Solo Ship for Cutthroats. The Oliphant Heavy's large base hull and damage reduction stats make it a prime candidate for over-tanking with the intended use as first-wave of attack damage sponge. It is arguably the second-best non-refit non-rate for this purpose after the 'Deliverance' Heavy Frigate.
A General Tactic for the Oliphant Heavy is to Reload fit it far more than Needed, and sail beside the Opponent at point blank range in Broadside-Broadside Combat.
Suggested Oliphant Heavy fittings
- Runner's Rig
- Tough Sails 3
- Accuracy Gun Rig 3 or 2 Inyards
- Speed Gun Rig 3
- Double Planked
- Heavy Flanked
- Discordant Reinforcements 3
- Prototype Cannons 3 or Discordant Cannons 3
- Efficient Powder Room 5/Board Approved Powder Cache/Shard of the Idol
Variants
Other variants of the Oliphant:
Distinguishing Characteristics
- She has large amount of freeboard (hull height) for her length, with a draught of 10 meters.
- The width and depth of the hull, along with the small sail area, make for a very slow ship. To compensate for this, her firepower is adequate for the Line of Battle.
- Her ornate stern door and short sails are the hallmark to distinguish her from warships of similar appearance.
- +16.25% reload rate.
Damage at 200y:
- Broadside: 635
- DPS: 26,4
The ship was modeled by Marion van Ghent from plans drawn by herself.
