Crap, I was sure I was replying to Imperial Noob's post that was written here, not in the Statistics for Asian & Euro Ships thread. I'll quote our joint efforts here then — sorry!

As a result, in Brit vs Japs Post Imperial water deck duels: Frigate vs Tekkousen -> 4:1 (Edit: the one win for Tekkousen was when Frigate missed one shot from broadside, 2 fights were with no broadside) Galleon vs Atakabune -> 2:0 (Edit: clear wins for Galleons. Boring to watch.) Caravel vs Fune -> 5:1(Edit: the one where Fune won was the very first one and I guess I just ordered the attack animation earlier) Apart form that, the duels were close in every case.

In the first try I messed up with the Broadside Attack and it got eventually sunk by the Fune. Frigate had 200—600 HP left after destroying the Tekkousen, Galleon — 200/300 having got rid of Atakabune. Evidence attached:
The skirmishes we ran for testing were pretty close altogether. The Japanese boats indeed do extremely well for their stats and cost — the British navy had just a tiny edge despite having more relevant cards. Bear in mind as well that the +2 range advantage of the Europeans wasn't taken into account. My initial statement then might not have been entirely incorrect then, though as I mentioned, Japs lose only in late game, once all necessary home-city shipments are sent.
Thanks, @Imperial Noob, for the tesht. That was quite a spectacle!
So japanese ships miss when the opponent is stationary? Or do the english ships move around?

They magically miss even when side by side. It happens to frigates too, a shot with an angle of 60 degrees lol...
I thought japanese quality was a thing. Clearly my bad.

Behold, the frustration of any non-france player in late game.
