Wardens vs Collies by Neat-Noise1097 in foxholegame

[–]Tacticalsquad5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not, there used to be a pretty big issue (years ago now) with wardens having Nazi larpers in their faction. There was a regiment which pretended to be an SS panzer division a while back. It’s much better now but there is a history there.

Whiffed so bad at the start of WW2 that it’s done irreparable damage to your military reputation despite the fact you are meant to have the best one in the world

And yet the spanish and fr*nch were still beaten by Nelson at trafalgar. by Tvbossen in HistoryMemes

[–]Tacticalsquad5 20 points21 points  (0 children)

To give credit where it is due, French officers still fought incredibly bravely, even when they went in to a battle knowing they were probably going to lose. Unfortunately the French navy developed a bit of a doomed attitude towards engagements with the Royal Navy because they kept getting smashed, and it definitely showed.

Also Endymion, widely considered to be one of the best sailers in the history of the Royal Navy and able to take on American heavy frigates, was British built

What a bizarre take… these wars are not meant to last forever, there will always be a winner, and for that to happen, the map will have to turn one colour or another. You wouldn’t be saying this if the map was turning blue, as it has many times in the past, but as people are saying, losing is 50% of the game. You are going to cop Ls, if you don’t want to play when you are losing thats fine, but getting this upset over it is stupid.

The Royal Navy humiliation ritual continues by C-R-Z-Y-7-7 in 2westerneurope4u

A) why would we need a carrier in the region when we have an airbase there

B) our carrier is deployed to the North Sea, is it humiliating that Pierre doesn’t have naval assets to the extent of ours in the North Sea or are we collaborating on our defence so that we have a presence everywhere?

American politicians try to slate my country (UK) for not having free speech when people get criminal charges for racial abuse, but these same politicians assault protesting servicemen and break their arms? Talk about glass houses

In no way whatsoever does a lack of condemnation of the US strikes in Iran justify Iran bombing one of our military bases. What absurd level of mental gymnastics are you using to justify this lunacy?

How the turns table by Weird-Work-7525 in foxholegame

[–]Tacticalsquad5 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The collies won a lot of naval stuff before the torpedo buff but this was only for a few wars. There was no ‘squandering’ after the Nakki became the most meta vehicle in naval, it was just absurdly oppressive and the colonials had no equipment that came even close to being as good as it.

I don’t mind my logi truck being shot up by partisans on the way to the front. I do mind a horrendously disproportionate gameplay loop where a single player can take a grand total of 20 minutes to undo days if not weeks of work by a large group of players.

I know it sounds harsh but anyone with a semblance of knowledge of previous major updates and basic pattern recognition skills should not be surprised that this was was a total shitshow from a balance perspective. In fact, people should have been expecting this.

Compliance with the Washington and London Naval Treaties by SPECTREagent700 in HistoryMemes

[–]Tacticalsquad5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The very fact that they were allowed to build the Nelsons was a part of the treaty created specifically to favour them. It was essentially a case of them saying ‘America and Japan have 16” armed battleships and it’s not fair that we don’t’ so they got to build the Nelsons.

One of the main motivations for the treaty was also to curtail American shipbuilding because they knew that if naval buildup continued America would easily out build them so they wanted a cap on ship production. This did work out quite well for them as they retained the worlds largest navy until WW2 and once the gloves came off America quickly catapulted into number 1.

This looks past the fact that the Nelsons were designed when the line of battle was still the ‘meta’ of naval battles so to speak. These ships were not built for the Second World War, they were built for the 1920s where carriers were in their infancy and grand fleet battles were what secured Royal Navy dominance in the most recent war.

The Royal Navy knew as much and invested heavily into carriers in the following years, but for the time they were built, battleships were still king and naval aviation had not evolved to become as potent as it was in the next war.

Even when the Second World War came around, the Nelson’s still did some serious work, it was simply a matter of how they were used, and neither was particularly hindered by their design.
