Known Errors, Clarifications
1. At 11:14, I speculate that the Endymion would be targeting the starboard side of the President from its current position, but the designer has clarified that although this shot is not a rake, because it's going directly along the length of the hull from the stern, that hull damage would be distributed evenly over the stern hull sections. In this video, we distribute the damage over the two starboard hull sections.
2. At 21:15, my spoken voice calculates the wind's effect on the shot incorrectly. Firing into the wind should be +1 and Firing with the wind should be -1. I say this the opposite. The graphics correct the mistake, and the error impact is mentioned up until the shot hits. If we had gotten it right the shot would have cone 2 hull damage and no crew damage. Our mistake kills lives.
