What are you going to name your ships?

[Daevyll]

HMS What Are You Sinking About? (this only for German faction)

I laughed.

[pdoyle007]

'The Death Star' - I might even give the rest of the battle group related names. Infact each theatre of war might have a theme to their names.

I did consider naming them all after women, but if they get attacked and start going down I don't know how I'd feel.

[Ibn-Khaldun]

If I play US then probably: USS IRS (The only ship I need. It will take your ships underneath you and leave you just a boat and it's all legal.)

Though, it might take me while before I will buy the game.

[Discoman]

Let's see.
HMS Starr
HMS Lennon
HMS McCartney
HMS Harrison
Those 4 ships will be together in one group... until I make an HMS Yoko.

HMS I sunk your battleship
HMS Caine
HMS Economy (Prone to being sunk)

[Beskar]

In the spirit of a certain political campaign in the last election:

"Are you sinking what we are sinking?"

[Ibn-Khaldun]

I wonder, will you start counting how many ships your ships have sunk?

Your HMS Terminator destroys 3 ships in one battle and you will name that ship HMS Terminator 3, or something like that?

[Polemists]

I'd like to see some simple stats on ships and units. Large kills/Ships Sunk in a battle.
Trained in, etc, etc. Just some little flavor items.

I guess we can always keep track ourselves.


I assume you can name ships on the fly as much as you want.

Outstanding idea. I mean, one of the better ones.

I'd like to see stats like that for all units. Imagine how much it would sting to lose them then? It would add another layer of realism.

Units killed by ranged, units killed in melee, enemies routed, prisoners captured, casualties sustained, etc.

edit: Imagine having some units that are fully upgraded, that you've had since the beginning of the campaign, still be in one of your stacks at the end of the campaign? I mean we can still do that, but with statistics it would be really interesting and add to AARs.

[The New Che Guevara]

HMS The Bank of England

It's sister ship, the HMS Royal Bank of Scotland was just struggling to stay afloat, but sunk.

[Vuk]

If I buy the game, I already have some good ones in mind.
USS Dutch Bane
USS Flotsam
USS Party House
USS Terminator
USS Vuk (1st class of course)
USS Tosa
USS Melitiros
USS Phili
USS Caius
USS Richyg
USS Pabst Blue Ribbon
USS Mud Krabz
USS Sweet Mama From Kentucky
USS Cheese Head
USS Chuck Norris Bane


For personal reasons those would all be awesome to have.

[Sir Beane]

If I ever do an AAR, I'm making sure I name my ships after Org members. Just for the hilarity when one of them sinks or bursts into flames.

[Ibn-Khaldun]

It would be even funnier if AI captures your ships with the names of Org members and you'll have to fight against them later! ~

[IlDuce]

The biggest baddest ship is always going to be named HMS Plymouth. Not hard to guess where I live from that.

[Greyblades]

Quake at the might of the HMS Essex using the deadly chav-cannon Shivver at its Great warcry: INNIT!!!

The HMS Heanor can join the Essex in the use of the chav cannon. It's flag will be burberry, and its symbol a hoody and fake gold chain.

[Greyblades]

Oy, imagine the recruitment slogan "tired of annoying people just by the way you look all day? Then join the essex, we need all the ammo we can get"

[Decker]

Eh... my Flagships with whoever I start off with will be dubbed H.M.S/USS/Ect.. Morning Wood

With troop carrying ships dubbed Mama Bear or The Sea Cow

[Evil_Maniac From Mars]

[Zatoichi]

The HMS Gah! will be a mighty warship.

But judging from my naval skills, I won't be able to build them fast enough to replace those that have suffered at the hands of my admirals.

So I'll have HMS Gah!, sunk fighting the mighty French rowboat near Calais, HMS Gah!!, who went down while bravely running away from the feared Portuguese pedalos of Lisbon, HMS Gah!!!, destroyed by a well aimed bottle of champagne on the launch slipway and HMS Gah!!!! built entirely from paper and tin foil due to wood shortages and crumbling economy.

Isn't it Wednesday yet?

Those french rowboats can be nasty if the man in charge is drunk. The best way to beat them is to throw in some good wine vintages and a sophisticated selection of cheeses. The man in charge can't help but stop his boat for a picnic. When he does lean over the side and drop a cannonball through the bottom of the rowboat .

Each and every one of my ships will be named after my girlfriend, in the hope that this will go at least some small way towards mitigating her displeasure at being abandoned in favour of ETW for the next few weeks.

Plus, giving all my ships the same name will add an interesting extra challenge to naval battles...

But does your girlfriend appreciate being shot full of holes, set fire to, crashed into a french Warship, and then sunk in the middle of the Atlantic? You could be on tricky ground there my friend.

[Polemists]

Yes I can see it now

"But why did you let me die? Don't you care about me?"

Tricky waters indeed

[A Very Super Market]

Keep the ship as a trophy...

[Merak]

the biggest ship i have will be named like this

"i am a big ship becase the captain has a little..."

if i fits :D
