[NWP] tank276 [NWP] Players 891 posts 9,271 battles Report post #9 Posted November 10, 2017 So it is pronounced like "Rooster" with a w instead of an r? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[MPT] AkosJaccik Players 920 posts 11,177 battles Report post #10 Posted November 10, 2017 Ah, yes. The naive problems of pre-implementation, where your have an issue with the pronounciation, not with the usage of the ship. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[SCRUB] Aotearas Players 8,460 posts 13,076 battles Report post #11 Posted November 10, 2017 Easy enough for germans: "Wurster". Still going to pronounce it: "Warchester", simply because it sounds better. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[PMI] Juanx Players 2,564 posts 9,353 battles Report post #19 Posted November 11, 2017 Is this like the arkansas thing, that even there is clearly an S at the end of the word, you just choose to ignore grammar and phonetics "because its old enough"? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, afaik Arkansas isn't exactly English but taken from the (then) native Sioux langauge (and then pronounced french, for raisins). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EmilyFara Players 1,091 posts 2,423 battles Report post #23 Posted November 11, 2017 You do realise that it is a US ship named after a US city, right? In that case it is called Warchester... not like the Brits call it... The Brit name in this case, is wrong. Just because it is your language, doesn't mean it's your pronunciation :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
