Quoting make things a lot easier. Considering his lack of acting skills that's already a big improvement. If Seagal have 6 point skills, Chuck Noris would be 9000. I hope he is more use as a commander than an actor, with his acting skills being so wooden does this mean they are bringing in sailing ships, maybe a Napoleonic era event. Napoleon era. That would be interesting. Fighting with cannons like a pirate Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[PRT] it3llig3nc3 Beta Tester 668 posts 8,031 battles Report post #53 Posted November 2, 2016 You guys are funny as hell. This is why it's good to be part of this community. I wish WG had half the humor than here in the forum... On a more serious note: I do not mind a promo like this with the Segal dude, but for me this a story about a good concept / idea that got implemented in the cheap and terrible way. Why. On such games like WoWs the "collector" attitude is present in the playerbase - be it ship, module, flag or even commanders. However just making a SS (well. Steven Segal) commander that is no visible to anyone else other than the player itself is a bit of low key. Furthermore why the person have to be an quasi ACTION HERO and not somebody truly related to naval warfare? What if WG took a second and developed the idea further? Such as a "collectible" set of commanders for US, RN, IJN, German, Russia, etc... (like Nelson, Fletcher, Nimitz, etc...) whom can be earned and perhaps by putting them on selected ships it gives some special ability to the ship vs. normal commanders. Say one could increase a bit more the concealment, or speed up the ship or make a special boost to one captain skill... ...or add some extra skill (i.e. with a True Sea Admiral on board you gain a bit more XP from spotting....) But again: make it integrated part of the game and not just an icon that worth nothing special... I feel sorry for the lost ideas... 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm curious how it will look like. Serious: good idea. I rather collect real naval commanders than bad actors, or anime for that matter.

Atmosphere here is a good deal less toxic than on the tank forums. I even get on here with the very same players I am at odds with there. In answer to the second question - see the film "Under Siege," which was one of his least worst outings set on one of the Noo Joisey Iowa class BBs.

[KLAN] KapteinSabeltann Players 232 posts 9,978 battles Report post #63 Posted November 2, 2016 (edited) Can someone explain why we got him as commander in game? Does he have diferent skill tree? Or maybe we get just his voice as commanding, similar to ARP commander girls? Because he is the biggest, baddest ship cook ever! Especially when "Under Siege": http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0105690/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Under_Siege Question is: Do we get Erika Eleniak as a captain too? And does she come with a cake?
