That's not entirely true. Canoes deal siege damage to building, obviously, and other warships, whereas land units they attack with their normal range damage. Catamarans, on the other hand, do the same with the exception of a normal ranged attack against other vessels. In a way then they are not totally crap, although in some sea action they fall back quickly, unless mirrored, which is almost always the case, as they don't see that much usage apart from some early brawls on Indonesia/Honshu.

And also the only reason caravels etc are god at defending vs land is their high rr and attack of siege dmg type. Canoes are good at fighting water cuz they are cheap but with high dmg. Catamarans cost the same and have same stats but they dont do siege dmg in battle unless actually sieging. So this just makes them totally useless. There is literally no point to make them in a game thats not already over.
I concede, they're totally useless at sea. Can their ranged attack be changed to do some actual damage to warships? Maybe just change it to siege attack?
