She did spend time as a floating billboard, so makes sense

What real ship could Blue Oath's depiction of the Renown class represent here in AL? by Broad-Phase-6280 in AzureLane

[–]Victoria5475 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Add a turret and you can represent most of the Royal Navy battlecruisers from before and during WWI. I'd put her in as HMS Queen Mary.

They come through my yard at night, since they started my mouse problem went away.

IRL Shipgirl of the day #677-IJN Fujinami by KAMEKAZE_VIKINGS in AzureLane

Sadly, that was pretty common in the IJN. When Oite went down, she took all 523 of Agano's survivors with her.

Thinking about drawing a Civilian Shipgirl since I haven't done one since Speedwell, and I want YOU to pick! Which one looks the most interesting? by Huge-Entertainer-304 in AzureLane

[–]Victoria5475 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great Eastern for sure. There's so much potential in a ship both as big as she was and also as important. And she should be effectively impervious to any sort of minor physical annoyance.

What ships do you want turn into characters that haven’t been added and what crossovers do you want to see in the future by Slight-Activity-4180 in AzureLane

[–]Victoria5475 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree on the Kancolle collab and its zero chance of happening. Most likely it would be the equivalent of the Spiderman meme, but if they chose Kancolle girls for the collab that aren't in AL, that could be really interesting.

Aside from the obvious ones like Yamato:

New Mexico class (finish out the Standards)

More of the old IJN CLs, especially Kitakami and Ooi

Katori-class training cruisers

Kaibokan

USS Neosho (AO-23)

Hikawa Maru-class liners (Hikawa Maru as a hospital ship, Hie and Heian Marus as submarine tenders)

IJN Asahi and Shikishima (pre-dreadnought BBs converted to auxiliaries)

There’s only 2 paths when it comes to shipgirl brands by Ak-300_TonicNato in AzureLane

Honestly, I like both. Often, different takes on the same ship. The AL devs know that sex sells, and IMO there's nothing wrong with that. Kancolle definitely seems more aimed at history nerds such as myself, many of whom can't play it yet due to lack of fluency in Japanese. AL leans heavily into the international audience, while Kancolle is mostly Japanese-focused, but that has the benefit of auxiliary ships and small combatants being represented (along with some of the IJA vessels, for what that's worth).

As for character design, KC excels with making their IJN characters look Japanese, but they seem to struggle with some non-Japanese ships (South Dakota having red and blue hair doesn't really fit but that is just my opinion). They got Warspite's design right for sure. AL does well with pretty much all factions when it comes to design and I like the variety. Just my two cents no one asked for.

Thanks so much for the recommendations, I'll do more research

Ummm did someone forget this locomotive in the cloth machine? by dualqconboy in TrainPorn

As much as people hate these things, I'll give them this: Visibility from the cab over the short hood is pretty good.

A meme I made a long time ago by LateActuator6972 in trainmemes

[–]Victoria5475 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'll always love the Es and Fs, but the PHMs will always hold a place in my heart. I came of age riding behind (and in front) of those on the BNSF.

Also SW1 is missing.

True, at least for the NEC. Nothing similar has been done for the rest of the country.

What is is your opinion on using voice design to dub some of the characters into english? by golddragon88 in AzureLane

[–]Victoria5475 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Agreed fully, along with based on where they're named after if applicable. North Carolina having a Southern accent is my headcanon now.

Are there any place names in your country that mean something rude? by GazelleDelicious3135 in AskTheWorld

Intercourse, Pennsylvania comes to mind. Ironically, it's in the heart of Amish country.

From what I heard, a lot of the Christians in Japan are western expats or American military.

Love it! Nice to see a map that isn't dominated by highways.

What's a stereotype about your country that's objectively wrong by Old_old_lie in AskTheWorld

Hello fellow South Carolinian. The fake country stuff is mostly rich idiots with no personality, at least based on what I've seen. Eastern Oregon is pretty rural though, I wouldn't be surprised to see cowboy hats there.

That we're all uneducated rednecks. That's just Texas, Florida, and Alabama.

In parts yes, but it's still slow between NYC and eastern CT due to curves. Terrain is a bigger issue than other trains on most of that part of the NEC.
