Kontreadmiral

I just hope this thread will slowly die, I was not well enough informed about de Ruyter. Nelson was great, I just feel that he wasn't the greatest of all time like many people make him out to be. Nor do I feel that he was the greatest British admiral, that would IMO be Blake.

I guess I'll just add the dates of the Spanish admirals. Blas de Lezo - 1689-1741 Cosme Damián Churruca - 1761-1805 Dionisio Alcalá Galiano - 1760-1805 Ignacio María de Álava - 1750-1817 (66 years old) Federico Gravina - 1756-1806 (49 years old) Álvaro de Bazán - 1526-1588(61 years old) Antonio Gaztañeta - 1656-1728 Jorge Juan - 1713-1773 Juan Ruiz de Apodaca - 1754-1835(80 years old) Cosme Damián Churruca y Elorza - This is the exact same guy as the 2nd on the list. Antonio Barceló y Pont de la Terra - 1717-1797 Juan Leon Fandiño - Couldn't find any info on this guy. I think there are some of these admirals who don't qualify as great. Antonio Gaztañeta in particular, he's only really known for losing the battle of Cape Passaro. He was a good shipbuilder, but I don't see him as a great admiral. Oh, and you made a small typo. It's "Steen" not "Steed" in Steen Andersen Bille.

I've found two pictures of a ship of same name from 1736, both ships are 50 gun and they look rather similar. http://www.artvalue.com/image.aspx?PHOTO_ID=3769600

I'm pretty sure the Bismarck wasn't in an April Fools joke, that would take far too much time. EDIT: Thought you meant that it was added into the game.

I had never seen the Sky Mountain before, but now when I have I can't help but think it looks big. I need to travel to more mountainous regions.

Perhaps you could also add these Danish admirals too - Herluf Trolle - 1516-1565 Christen Thomesen Sehested - 1664-1736 Steen Andersen Bille - 1751-1833 (81 years old) Also, I know he's a bit outside the time frame, but the Austrian Wilhelm von Tegetthoff, 1827-1871 (43 years old), really deserves a mention as one of the greatest admirals of the 19th century. Perhaps you could also add Willem Joseph van Ghent (1626-1672) for the Netherlands.

I think you should set Suffrén as the greatest French admiral.

Ages for Danish admirals - Niels Juel - 1629-1697 (67 years old) Peter Tordenskiold - 1690-1720 Cort Adeler - 1622-1675 (52 years old) Ulrik Christian Gyldenløve - 1678-1719 Peder Skram - Between 1491 and 1503-1581 Olfert Fischer - 1747-1829 (81 years old) Christian Carl Gabel - 1679-1748 (68 years old) Ivar Huitfeldt - 1665-1710 (45 years old) Søren Norby - 1470-1530 King Christian IV - 1577-1648 (70 years old) There ones where I've written the age is because they died before their birthday that year.

You can't have a game set in the age of sail without the flagship of Tordenskiold.

And as expected the 3rd faction in WoWS will be the Soviets.... What a surprise, WG, what a surprise.... To be honest, I don't plan on playing WoWS. I got pretty tired of both World of Tanks and War Thunder.

There are many great war movies, many of whom have already been listed. Personally, I love Rod Steiger's portrayal of Napoleon in "Waterloo".

The Kronan is unfortunately outside of the timeline, but something on the Udema would be nice. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Udema

Germany didn't even exist until 1871. Those ships are probably from Prussia. Italy was also first unified in 1859.

Lidt ironisk at regionen Finland har to svenske flag som sit våbenskjold.

Yeah, I've never seen a proper line, not even in a line battle.

You should try out the 1257AD mod, the graphics are unbelievable.

Found some more information here: http://www.machuproject.eu/news/news-34.htm http://www.hydro-international.com/issues/articles/id1236-The_Ghost_Ship_Expedition.html

Sadly, most shipwrecks do.

HURRAH FOR OLD NOSEY!

I found this video about the Mars:

Anyway, I apologise for being somwhat rude against you Swedes. I can see that I've been glorifying Denmark a little too much, and I'm sorry about that.

Anyway, if anyone is interested -
