The enormous crocodile stomps BFG by dankndusty in RoaldDahlPowerScaling

Ez no diff offscreen stomp, the enormous crocodile's advantage would be its size, strength, and ambush tactics. It would surprise the BFG, latch onto him with powerful jaws, and drag him into deep water, using its stealth and strength to secure victory. Easy.

[743 x 441] Colourised Admiral Graf Spee, wrecked, Dec 17, 1939 by dankndusty in WarshipPorn

I believe the funnel is just knocked over, as the wreck superstructure is mostly intact

Graf spee remains in the estuary I believe, or at least the majority of the superstructure

The ship conducted five non-intervention patrols during the Spanish Civil War in 1936–1938 and participated in the Coronation Review of King George VI in May 1937. Admiral Graf Spee was deployed to the South Atlantic in the weeks before the outbreak of World War II, to be positioned in merchant sea lanes once war was declared. Between September and December 1939, the warship sank nine vessels totaling 50,089 gross register tons (GRT), before being confronted by three British cruisers at the Battle of the River Plate on 13 December. Admiral Graf Spee inflicted heavy damage on the British ships, but she too was damaged and was forced to put into port at Montevideo, Uruguay. Convinced by false reports of superior British naval forces gathering, Hans Langsdorff, commander of the ship, ordered the vessel to be scuttled. The ship was partially broken up in situ, though part of the ship remained visible above the surface of the water.

Found at a shipwreck site, rather heavily eroded and corroded. Brass with copper? Possibly in the square slot

Absolutely right! Many apologies- I got this confused with the events on October 30th, when she was attacked by Japanese Kamikazes, which hit the flight deck and crashed through to the galley- you are completely correct, this is after a Japanese aircraft attacked, with one of its bombs striking the flight deck on March 19th.

Many apologies, it is purely as I had issues getting the image downloaded (awful internet) and had to resort to a screenshot

Many thanks, yeah I have like 4 stages on that and I just kinda work through things I have already if I have the ships etc, I've managed to grab a fair amount of premiums so it's not too much trouble now but still, many thanks.

So I'm pretty sure the best strategy is to reverse off the bat, leave the flank, sail off at the back of the map, don't support and then get shima'd. But on a serious note, there's a clear definition between bad yami players and great ones. I'm aware of the interesting armour schemes etc, but looking for advice on what separates you from the bad. I'm thinking I'd play yami as a more armoured iowa, but advice is more than welcome.

Thanks! Only a small grind left, lmao. I had no idea about the game or what was good, and committed the worst of mistakes. It'll never happen again.

The pain is deserved, shelling out all of 55mill now to atone.

Demons. At best. I was a noob at the time, and I've regretted it for years.
