Game Play
In Pirates of the Caribbean Online, only the captain (the player helming the ship) can fire a broadside. When they select the Left or Right broadside guns (by pressing 1 or 2), all of the below deck guns on that side fire. The amount of damage done depends on the pirate's Sailing Skill and Broadside ability level and the size/class of the vessel.

Sloop carry the fewest, while Galleons carry the most for each class.
