What is the best hull for a war sloop?

[OrionSenpai]

I've gotten a lot of different answers from a lot of different people, and I was hoping to hear more so I could find the most common answer, or best put answer.

Seeing how Sloops benefit from their speed and handling, making it a Storm Chaser will benefit it greatly with better speed (from the original Streamline upgrade branch) and power from Thunderbolt shot chance.

Well you will never see a fully upgraded copper being sunk getting boxed in by multiple bad sailors and a gazillion hunters and warships. You also can round up a dozen ships and pick 'em off easily on a royals run. If you love sailing and speed, Storm is fun too. I say one of each.

 

[Kris]

I agree, Storm Chaser

I'm personally going for Storm Chaser. I advise you to do the same. Here's a handy Pros and Cons on Storm Chasers:

PROS:

• Utilizes and emphasizes the sloops ability to maneuver fast
• From Streamlined, is the cheapest upgrade path only requiring Pine in bulk, and 200,000 gold to complete (least out of all War Ships)
• Thunderbolt ammo which I beleive does the most damage (Correct me if I'm wrong)
• Looks great.

CONS:

• None

Thunderbolt is actually second most, with explosive (copperhead) dealing more total damage. Storm Chaser is still a better option though, and thunderbolts are by no chance "weak"

nothing like fast hit and run loot/mat runs on the war sloop with stormchaser upgrade, good solo or with a group of pirates

I'm a fan of Storm Chaser and Copperhead, in no particular order. I also like Fortune Hunter War Sloops, but I'd pick one of (or both of!) the other two first.

I concur with this statement. See the link in my signature about ship hulls and broadsides for actual numbers!
