Well, I don't know. I'm actually quite torn on the issue of whether or not there is a place for a BB in the future. The arguments for letting them fade away are have been documented well here, and they certainly have merit. I just imagine a potential combat situation where you would want to...

Which would you suggest I start with? BSM or BSP? EDIT: I'm also thinking of checking them out for the PC - any advice there? (i.e. bad idea, better on consoles, etc?) Thanks!

This thread really is porn. I love it. I actually tend to agree - we're already in the realm of rediculousness, so I would say that to really bring the BBs back for a future conflict your best bet would be to go for nuclear power. It would just be so much cooler... ...and stranger! What...

Wow - I'm sorry to say, that scoop looks terrible. I mean, that's bigger than an STI's. That's pretty difficult to achieve. The driver should have simply painted a bright red and white target symbol on the hood that says "please, come spank me." At least people might think he was sponsored by...

This is right - but also wrong! Though the battleships are 'officially' removed from service, their new 'owners' are required to maintain them to a level where they can be recalled to active duty at a moments notice by Congress. So, fear not "Iowa whores" - though unlikely, we may indeed...

Totally - a 'buy it now, ask questions later' type situation. That looks pretty impressive! You should post some vids or at least some audeo files after the install is done...

Do you find that it is heavily reliant on airpower? Are you able to setup situations where 'guns' can make or break an engagement?

I would say probably not enough! Have you ever heard the expression less is more? Good - now ignore it! :D

Oh boy... not sure I want to know how he got THAT name... Sounds like a buddy walked in on him at the wrong time!

I had that game - it pissed me off because you had to wait so long until you could unlock anything of value. I gave up after a while - the gameplay didn't really hold my interest.

Thanks for the info - this is perfect. Anything else out there worth a look?

Heh, fantastic! In all honesty, I love the idea of keeping the Iowas in service. I am hopelessly in love with the idea of these ships continuing to represent our navy. I wasn't trying to suggest that the role for which they were developed is obsolete. I meant, really, that the Iowas...

No - I knew the Connie was gone. I was hoping to run into a sister ship out there somewhere. :)

WC3 seemed like the perfect progression for me at the time. I was just as amazed, no more, no less, as when I transitioned from WC1 to WC2. This was quite a feat as I had already come to expect absolute excellence from the WC universe. I was so excited, had anticipated for so long, finally got...

OK - time to be honest with yourself. Find a mirror, look into it, and try and tell yourself with a straight face that the reason we keep the Iowas on reserve is because without their 16 inch guns we would have been unable to support our forces from the sea. Desert Storm would have been a...

Yes, I really meant when we see them in action in WWI. Granted, airpower is still developing, but it's becoming increasingly clear to those at the time who are interested that it has the potential to change the balance of power in the future. Thanks! :) This is harder to accurately...

I'm looking for a game that centers on fleet action - WWII preferably, but either world war is fine. I'd like engagments both large and small. Any advice? Dundradal, I think you've mentioned a couple in the past, right?

Really? I'll have to check it out now. Ron is the man.

How many Sonic Tanks are you going to get? Let's show up at the next healthcare town hall meeting with them to ensure that our right to kill people is cemented in the public's mind. :D

I did know what NGFS stands for. :p We do just fine without blowing people up in 16 inch turrets. You're forgetting that the dreadnought is simply an extension of the centuries old 'ship of the line.' These ships were absolutely essential to any navy projecting power. At the start of WWI...
