  1. Today, I was near Shroud Cay with my character named Themistoklis (my name in OW is different with the one here). I engaged in battle after the player Captain Rover invited me to tag the prussian player Flintch. I also got invited in a battle group by Captain Rover.

    Right after the battle started, as i was throwing chain shots at Flintch, i got broadsided twice at almost point blank range by Captain Rover who was also making it look like fun hitting his fellow nation player. Prussian player Flintch told him to stop doing this. Afterwards he just broadsided  Flinch again as i was trying to get away and they continued the battle as i left the instance in a hurry.

    I'm irritated by this unsportsmanlike behaviour by Captain Rover cause i thought clan players respect their fellow nation ones. I guess the fact that i got multiple hull hits by him can be proven by battle logs. 

    Yours,

    Domestikos(Themistoklis)

  2. I'll name my ships with greek islands names such as Ydra, Spetsai, Psara etc.

     

    I'll surely name a frigate if i get one with the name Karteria.

     

    And the SOL by the name Anastasia or Constantinople.

     

    Small fast ships will probably take one of the 2... Salaminia or Parallos. 

  3. I saw the new movie about Michiel de Ruyter a few days ago, its about the naval battles that the Dutch fought in the 17th century against the French and English, they actually used real English and French actors in this which is a big + for me. (its only in Dutch atm) 

     

     

    Master and commander is a very good movie, and one about Jean D'arc (Joan of Arc) forgot the name of the movie :unsure:

    I instantly felt in love with this trailer, looking forward to find the movie with english subs to watch as an admier of admiral De Ruyter. The Dutch must be so proud for him.

  4. Does real historic facts expect the quality aspects of the ships matter here?

     

    The RN had OP crews, with aiming discipline, fire discpline, command structure, bigger number of experienced officers and good ships to support the above.

     

    The French instead had a mechanical genious when talking about ship design, Noel Sane.They lacked everything else though compared to the RN.

     

    Also the 2 nations had different firing philosophies that came exactly cause of the difference of crew training and discipline.The British were striking the hull of the ship cause of their OP fire discipline and the French the sails in order to mostly run away or force the british ships to surrender cause of destroyed masts.

     

    All those are real facts, can't be denied.

     

    But here is the game.The devs have to just replicate the ships as they were in reality in order to perform as such which is  the most important.Make a good game mechanism for everything that has to do with crew's ability to fight, sail and repair the ship.The naval commanding of ship lies only to the skill of the player as well as the crews training and experience so the conclusion is that here if the devs do their job right (seems the do till now very well) real history will mean nothing and maybe if the French classes of Temerrair 74's and Ocean classes are added and with crew training depending on the player decisions, i can't see why not choose the French instead of the RN.

     

    Ofc that's my opinion.

  5. HMS Agamenon was Nelson favorite ship though, right? 

     

     

    Not to say we shouldn't have HMS Temeraire in game. We're talking the 90ish (98?) gun 2nd rate, right? Of the famous painting? 

     I agree Agamemnon was Nelson's favourite ship( currently displayed at the poll post about the ships to be voted in order to add to the game)

     

    Temeraire was the ship that saved Victory from Redoutable's boarding at Trafalgar.
