I believe you are right, some things have changed since since the original explanation. It's all very
dependent on upgrades, and bots run around with crazy boarding setups.

Me too, but it was the other way around. I waited and clicked attack to his deck guns and was
surprised to see it , heh, backfired on me. I wonder if it's intentional?

Attack does not work well on Deck Fire, I just got nailed by NPC Deck fire for 30 crew when i
myself tried counter it whit attack.

Don't let the devs here you call it 'rock-paper-scissors'......for some reason, they don't think it is so.

This info really doesn't seem that accurate.

Notice the line Attack vs Fire Deck Guns.
even though he is basically defeated at that point, this results in a stunning 20 kills. Notice how
his first fire deck guns against mine it's just 9 kills.
Obviously Fire Deck Guns is now more of a counter against Attack. Even more so than Defend in
this case.

Also "extra high effect" of attack vs Grenades isn't reflected by this either.
This isn't a single, isolated incident either. I've boarded easily 30-40 traders since the last patch at
full crew (because grape takes too long to reload and the fight is over after I won anyways), and
I've observed this in every single fight now.

It's not accurate anymore. Deck guns are more effective now, like they were at start. But we have
nothing to make a new graphic on.

I think boarding is only Brace and Deckguns, ocassionally trying to foo lcomputer in for attack
that he wont defend like in that picture AI uses Deck guns against Attack.

Logically musket volley and fire deck guns should trump attack I mean here you have guys
charging out in open vs cannon balls and musket fire

On the other hand those you don't shoot are now in your face and your gun crews are exposed to
them. That's why you have high casualties on both sides if attack meets fire.

That there is no new and confirmed "official" statement.
The numbers in the game files can't be trusted, admin said so himself.
