Ok Guys . I have tested broadsides both left and right and upgrading them doesn't improve any power of any of your broadsides , so pointless applying any skill points in broadsides upgrading, better use these 10 skill points taken from right and left broadsides else where.
The proof is that when you shoot enemy ship with broadsides you see number above enemy Ship indicating damage you made.... try shooting ship with no skills applied in broadsides and then with 5 skill points applied in broadside to see that number will stay the same. my Broadside damage with standard cannonball is 650-1100 on 1 Pirate and 350-650 on other Pirate.. i have no idea why ... thats roundshot with 5 skill points inserted and no bonuses.
Also applying your cannon skills such as in round shot increases damage of your broadsides cannon balls and applying skills into rapid reload on cannon is increasing broadsides reloading speed.
You must have fast broadsides reloading-Taskmaster, Long Open Fire-to sink ships faster, Windcatcher and tacking for speed and Turning to escape attacks , Treasure Sense for getting more gold everywhere not just on sea. every other skill can have 1 skill point applied only, as for take cover,Come about and ramming speed and full sail as all these skills are only to help you to escape 1 shot of enemy broadsides or to run away from them... even if you max them all with 5 skill points in each the will not last long in off to save you from second broadside shot and will not deal much damage as for ramming speed any way.
P.S. if your ships broadsides don't fire special cannon balls like explosives upgrade your cannon skills applying 5 skills in roundshot , or if they do fire special ammo then apply 5 skills in ammo your ship shoots
Barrage and Shrapnel skills on cannon also don't improve anything for broadsides ....
Here is 1 and only Best way to apply your Sailing skills for both PVP and PVE
