my suggestion to you would be ignore 100% sync in the first play-through. i played it at my buddy's place, and i swear i was tempted to throw the computer out the window when i found out how annoyingly difficult some of the missions are. and before someone starts with the "it's so easy" preaching i have bad reaction times when i see the things i'm supposed to avoid its to late to do anything about it because then i already have collided.

I am living this winter. I drink lonely tea. Here is silent.
i know how you feel lol that's why I was asking. some missions are just totally messed up, sequence 6 for instance, johnson's trail. i could think of a bunch more but this one is driving me nuts because it is bugged on top.

you must be some kind of game-a-holic then cuz to me some naval missions don't work out at all. I love the naval part but killing the prospector fleet in less than 1:29, naw. I've got about 8 naval missions i can't get to 100 yet. Main missions about the same amount. Can't replay Oak Island because I do not see the symbols in my replay anymore when turning on Eagle Vision. etc etc. But maybe I should just forget about full sync.

Prospector fleet can be mostly taken down from a distance when going towards them, the swivel gun can take out most of the ships from a far distance.
Also if its a timed battle, such as taking down the 2 men of war before boarding Biddle's ship, ram one and blow the hell out of the other unless you can ram that also
Fire Shots are great with larger ships, especially with full focussed shots, you can easily open a man-o-war's hull by hitting them with a precise shot.
Just remember not to use full sails in battles much (only when going to ram)

thanks, i'll give it a try once I'm home. I guess I tried full sail most of the time, thinking it was giving me some kind of advantage. obviously not. as for maneouvering (spelling!!!) i have mostly used half sail but aiming isn't my thing i guess. thanks, anways.
