freddykrueger66 Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 Well said charles, not to mention that when fighting with equal numbers we almost suffered no losses while taking out the entire dutch fleet. I think we proved we are more than capable of taking out your forces and we're not being cowards for not fighting you on equal terms for port battles. If you want to do another arranged battle to show us how you would beat us in an equal fight please do, I'm more than willing to participate in it.

Funny enough i recall the following senario's: Fleet of 15 dutch find a fleet of 15 brits and after a minute, they all TP'd back to capital. Fleet of 8 brits laying in front of oranjestad were met by 8 dutch guys, 2 brits sank and 1 was on the brink off, all dutch sailed away happily. Near plymouth, joined fleet of dutch & USA fight a fleet of 25 brits, they brits get slaughtered. I can continue this list, yet it's time for lunch.

Tac Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 Pretty sure my vics only receiving a new paint job, so the propaganda of the entire Dutch fleet is about as accurate as "almost no losses" which I presume means you accrued losses.Nice job though on the royal navy's version of "pearl harbour" maybe because it's Xmas the "declaration" is still in the post. I bid you a merry Christmas and a most happy new year, you guys certainly are testing the hell out of this alpha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm the moment you took our Ports unprovoked, a state of war existed between us in all but name.... also its not good practice to send attack plans via post, it tends to give the game away.

Charles Caldwell Posted December 23, 2015 Author Share Posted December 23, 2015 That's what the Japanese said. Why did the USN take Tokyo, Osaka, Yokohama, Kobe, Takumatsu before 1941 No Sir, there was only one Harbour that started this war my friend.... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddykrueger66 Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 lol steelsandwich you are referring to battles even before the wipe, this has nothing in common with our current setup of members, tactics and the current gameplay. I can start talking about how I killed you in sea trials as well and make assumptions based on those battles... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddykrueger66 Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 oh and btw tac the only reason you only repainted your vic is because someone on our side accidentally destroyed the last tower so you could leave the battle... I was talking about the arranged battles where we have beaten you even when we were outnumbered. Or did you forget about those. If we didn't have a tap out battle you guys would have lost a lot of ships there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talking big now means nothing, when EA arives the funs begins. So, until then, feel free to keep boasting, its quite enjoyable^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddykrueger66 Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 no the most current battles do matter since they accurately show which force is the best trained/organized. Also I am only responding to your accusations that the brits need their "dogs" to beat you guys which clearly isn't the case. It's not about bragging that we took your ports, you guys make a huge deal about it even though you shouldn't even have ports in that area.

I do not deny that you have the biggest force currently in the game. But do not forget that the hardened core of the dutch nation hasn't quit, they will be back on EA. But my point still stands, you may be strong now, but that is no guarantee for the future. And being strong now, again, does not matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tac Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 Yes we're starting training with "how to use a community teamspeak to count your enemies" a practice invented by the British in the 18th century.Also part of the famous book "the art of naval warfare" . A win at all costs best seller. on sale at a bookshop near you this Xmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddykrueger66 Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 perhaps the book "How to fight as a team and not a bunch of solo players" might be a better choice for xmas. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoopy Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 In summary Basseterre, Charlestown, English Harbour, Kingstown, Bridgetown, Saint George's and Rosaly get magically transferred to the Dutch.Vile Brits are evil conquerors when they respond by taking Dutch ports few days later. Epic Outrage.Just don't do it again after the wipe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tac Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 Being an englishman i tend not to take orders from germans,however i do sincerely wish you all a happy holiday and a great new year. I bid you goodnight,until we meet again,hopefully on better terms. Tac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathaniel Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 (edited) You wouldn't ever consider it feasible to serve in the Georgian Royal Navy then, surely? Or was that exactly the reason you decided that it would be better to take orders from Dutchmen? Edited December 23, 2015 by Nathaniel 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragnar hairy trousers Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 (edited) Mr Tac can i ask why you would rather take orders from a Dutchman as apposed to a German "being an Englishman"?? "being an Englishman" wouldn't you rather fight for the English ??? Please forgive me if i am missing something here but I am not quite sure i understand the point you are trying to make sir!

Konali89 Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 Does it matter whom Tac takes orders from:) You Brits had a strategicly good evening the other day and i enjoyed that first port battle. It was interesting to see the differences between the brits and the french in regards as how they attack ports that have defenders in it. The only thing that i noticed from all this is how game breaking it can be if the biggest nations do not attack eachother, and one of them also has alliances with the swedes/french and spanish. I wonder if and how that political structure will be the devs talked about. Enjoy the holidays:) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragnar hairy trousers Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 You were all allied against the slrn at one point... but then it was our problem.
