It’s Xmas so here’s a dafty.

WG proclaims to be generally based on historical ships and throughout the year features really good information relation to battles, yes they still shun the likes of Laffy and Sheffield etc but generally it’s ok, except of course all the nonsense op Soviet stuff, especially cvs, Russia a country renowned for its many famous historically heroic cvs,  given that the soviets one and only port pig has had a recent fire can I lease ask WG to apply a buff to all Russian cvs so that they spontaneously combust, WG will then at least be able to claim historical accuracy.

How are burning ships, that never were, historical accurate?

[Pururut]

Brilliant idea. Now, if we only can have Hood fixed in majority of tier 8 games because for whatever the reason the ship appears to spawn in one piece.

This would mean that the bulk of the Soviet tech tree ships would not spawn at all, meaning the players would drop in the water and it would be 'Game Over' for them before it even started.

and the rest of the nations had all the ships in reality? especially level 10 .... with your approach, then level 10 will only be Battleship Yamato, cruiser Des Moines. And a couple of destroyers like Gearing and Shimakaze. I also forgot the aircraft carrier midway

Daring, Vampire II, Forrest Sherman, Gearing, Somers, YueYang, Halland, Smaland, Tromp, Des Moines, Salem, Worcester, Colbert, Yamato, Midway, FDR, Eagle. All real, I think.

 

Spot the missing nations. :)

Citing the number of battles i've played isn't the gotcha moment you think it is, it doesn't invalidate the truth of my statement in any way.

Regolo is absolutely 100% real, just a friendly reminder.

Apologies, I missed that one - I thought WG had put something in the game that wasn't quite a Capitani Romani? Delighted if they did put in the real world ship - I shall redouble efforts to unlock the line (still enjoying playing Cuniberti at the moment).

The not quite the Romani is the Paolo Yolo. The Regolo is 100% the real deal Capitani Romani, even bears the name of one of the three actually finished.

Also, there is another T9 italian: Trashkent!

I think it's the only russian ship above tier 8 that was actually a thing.

Oh calm down.

 

My comment was tongue in cheek and was in no way meant to me insulting.

 

But you did kind of walk in to it, no?

You're going to need a bigger boat. Also joking aside, is there really any accepted line where one becomes the other?

As I understand it, it’s because the early submarines were so small and only had a single deck inside they were classed as boats, and whilst Subs have grown considerably larger Submariners today still very proudly refer to their vessels as boats.
