when did the real life Navys stop to be fun

[TLG_]

the grand white fleet, britania rules the waves.

 

heroic times when sailors where heroes and ships wher gold plated and white painted to be grand.

 

then ships where painted gray or camouflaged sailors where worker ants and battles industrial m,[edited]murder.

 

War used to be fun, a way to prove individual prowess

 

during the 1st WW it turned into pure Evil.

 

just murder on a mass scale

 

what do you think ?

 

P.S. this is suposed to be the fun part, aditional no death

 

so how could we make it more fun less grim.

 

white or colorfull bright painted ships get extra credit ?

War used to be fun? 

[Admiral_noodle]

Er... Would suggest putting this in off topic. Also "war is fun" = killing and death is "a laugh"

 

Just no.

[Aldramelech]

War has never been fun

[steview162]

Fun if your playing a game representing war. Real thing fun? You taking the puss obviously.

[torytrae]

at least in real war no one was bitching about the MM or insulting each others mothers before each battle ...

although ... the iraqi were probably quite toxic about the MM in desert storm ...

They did have that one option this game doesn't have - mass surrender

Because at Lepanto, the Saintes, the so-called "Glorious First of June" and Trafalgar, hundreds or even thousands of people didn't die in horrific ways, or weren't otherwise maimed and wounded causing them all sort of pains, leaving behind with no support families and loved ones.

 

Because in the old Navies the discipline wasn't enforced by the cruellest discipline, to the point that a commander could turn a seaman's life into a living hell if he wished so, in perfect accordance with the Articles of War.

 

If you are serious, you are clearly misguided. War has always been hell, make no mistake.

[rancidpunk]

For the OP - warships in peacetime such as the Chester were painted lovely bright and shiny colours, even the big grey warriors had plenty of bling in peacetime. Warships were used for many different purposes in times of peace - diplomatic missions, fishery protection, anti smuggling or simply visiting foreign ports to fly the flag and remind the world that your nation is powerful enough to own them (the ships that is, not the foreign country).

 

In times of war the only priority for warships is to "survive to fight", you'd be amazed at the changes that you can't even see once navies move to a war footing!

hm.. everyone dies

 

a lot of people die horrific all the time

 

accidents, deseases, old age can be a terrible daeth.

 

is there any good death ?

 

i think dying gloriousely in a fight in a battle might be one of the best death you can have.

 

some people might say [edited]to death is it, i disagree it s horrible for the partner

 

so in a battle both sides decided to fight (surrender) that is propably the best death to have.

 

but in industrial massmurder its no fun at all.

I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation. War is hell.

 

If you found yourself on an ancient battlefield, or even on an ancient warship, you would understand that talking of glory is easy, in a sheltered and cozy life. Those who saw war, either a hundred or two thousand years ago, would talk quite differently.

Hitler telling his generals he had 10000 planes in reserve for the defense of Berlin. 

 

"Battle started"

 

German Generals: "Luftwaffe you AFK bastards!"

i allmost shat in my pants during the cosovo war when the serb special unit walked me into that lonely valley, and i realized : im going to die.

 

it just wasn t at that time

 

but my heart beat my senses where more intense then ever before or after

 

at the moment of death you apreciate life

Yet you talk about wasting lives just to feed the ranks of death, in name of something called "glory". You are contradicting your own words.

i don t belive in death

 

i belive reality is just a game

 

you play it to describe your future

 

after death

 

comes more life

 

the only waste of life is if you don t live it

 

the onnly waste of other lifes is if you prevent them from living

You've got some issues young man, I really think that you should talk to a health professional about these feelings........................... 

 

If nothing else, turn the computer off and step outside and get some fresh air.
