So I fought my first and only multiplayer naval battle recently, fielded even mix of medium's and bows with the admiral, a heavy, and two sengoku bunes.
My opponent fielded all siege tower bunes.
I was annihilated. The sengoku bunes, which i assumed would be a counter, couldn't get close before routing, and my heavier bunes couldn't catch them.
Anyone encountered this spam? or have ideas on how to counter it? or how to not perish at sea in general?

I have had very little naval battles so far. Since I encountered a bug that says every single time that I have over spent, even if I only have an admiral. So the only way I could play was to fill my army up untill the ammount I was meant to, then go super quick from the "moddify army" to the click button underneath and set the timer off. Once I enter the battle I only have 1-2 ships. Hopefully this is a minor error they fixed in the patch.

Which leads me to my next issue...
Just got annihilated by cannon bunes. I charged in with a sengoku from upwind, only to realize you can't board the damn things.

Umm, a spammer doesn't mean anything in terms of skill. No matter how good or bad he is, he spammed the same unit. There's no joke, or incorrect labeling...

As Soul said, it doesn't have anything to do with skill nor is it a joke. It was worst in Rome, where people would spam elephants for a joke. It mainly means they do not use tactics, they either use the same unit or they just get all of their units to run into the enemy.

No, no. It's Tom bear everywhere.
Ya didn't do my homework before attempting that tactic. I think you probably have to swarm with bow or bomb or matchlock kobaya's, but you'd need pretty much your whole army to be light ships, and who fields navies like that? Against anything but cannons you'd be screwed.
