Why asians didnt use sails?

There is no wind in Asia

They were way too retarded to think about it
Only when Marcus Pauleaux told them they started to

they did, but during warfare it was impractical as it took too much time to adjust the sails so they relied on oarsmen

usually oarsmen would work in shifts, but in battle all the oarsmen would work at the same time delivering a lot of speed and maneuverability

this plus you can't rotate the ship on its axis and fire both broadsides in the same direction.

THEY FUCKING DID. THEY JUST LOWERED THEM BECAUSE SAILS ARE IMPRACTICAL IN CLASSICAL NAVAL WARFARE.

You posted a Japanese fleet. Japan =/= Asia.

Japanese were special children when it came to sea. Took em Whitey-learning to teach them proper seamanship.

Oared warships were outdated even for East Asia.

You kike Indons and Malays came to Philippines using a sailboat before the Spaniard came in what are you saying that Asian don't know how to sail?

Be cause asians are beta low test cucks and don't have the BBC's blessing while Whites are superior alpha males with BWC and are almighty.

TL:DR Asians are cucked; Whites are the ones who cuck.
