It's a pity you can't randomize it to simulate the real life re-enactments of "Custer's Last Stand" without having ALL of the ships being manned by gung-ho do or die seamen. Keep you guessing, so to speak.
I guess one way of finding that magical x% would be to find out what the damage % of ships clearly beyond a smidgen of hope tends to be, but it would require a lot of looking at sinking ships while noting their damage %.
One rule of thumb I might use in that case was that, if I understand it correctly, the number of fires on a ship are directly correlated to its damage % and, clearly, when your entire superstructure is on fire is doesn't really matter how tough you are, you can't man a gun in a furnace.
Just a thought. |
I am all for the randomization idea. It makes sense as this would have been the closest historical case. Besides, it keeps you guessing.
