All skills &stats @20. Pirate sloop &war sloop.
Chain shot rarely damages sails & mast. Usually damages hull if anything.
Grape shot usually damages sail and mast, rarely damages crew.

I suppose the bug is that the names don't reflect the kind of damage you'd expect.
I'm not an authority on the subject, but I'm pretty sure chain shot was meant to snare and break masts, which would probably result in collateral damage to the sails if you hit, or light damage to the hull if you shot too low. Grape shot would bounce off the hull or mast harmlessly, but could decimate both sails and any exposed crew on deck.

And, that's how it's described in game. Sorry.

Sounds like it might be a bug, might be perceptions relative to the dice rolling on your particular game.
I'll look to see if I can find anything that doesn't match expectations from my perspective.
Thanks for reporting the issue!

I had the exact same impression as baldielocks in the beginning of alpha, but notice more may damage with chain shot in general.
Maybe to much variability in the calculations?

Maybe, I dunno -- the simulation runs show the correct long term mathematical result. I'll keep doing small adjustments and see if we can reach a balance before we start considering changing the variability rates. |

that said, the next updates includes several adjustments to Guns.

Cory TreseI'm going to note in version 0.2.5 I notice chain shot working perfectly. It almost always damages mast, sometimes sails, rarely crew, almost never hull.

I have never once seen grape shot damage crew. It always damages sails and hull, sometimes mast, sometimes cannons, never crew. I've been making a point if using it recently too so its not just a small sample size. Also, I have noticed it routinely one shot the enemy's hull, which I've never have happen with any other fore type. Grape shot should not damage hull at all imo.
