Damage animations library

[Pickle]

Each ship shows a series of damage animations indicating progressively more severe damage to the hull.  Damage animations are irreversible and reflect the state of the permanent hull health.  Being able to recognise the animations is a useful skill that can help you judge when to continue pressing for the kill that bit longer.

The bowsprit always shows a degree of crumpling or buckling in the animations.  This is more obvious on some ships than others.  Some ship show very obvious damage to fins and sails.


Please feel free to contribute your own examples to complete the library..

[Pickle]

Squid, full health



Squid, approximately 50% health



Note the fraying of the fins and sails, the buckling of the side plates on the hulls and the crumpling of the bowsprits on the front of both hulls.

[Pickle]

Galleon, full health



Galleon, about 70% health



Note the crumpled bowsprit and collapsed rigging beneath it.

[Pickle]

Spire, at full health (right) and about 50% health (left)



Note the damage to the stem of the ship as it passes over the balloon.

[Pickle]

Goldfish, about 50% health



Note that the bowsprit is bent and not straight, the damage to the fins, sails and tail.  Note that the team-colour indication sails/fins are not included within the damage animation.
