Naming stuff...

I'm not sure if this has been raised by anyone before but I was reading a book about the second world war in general but it came to my attention that this game does not allow you or actually have any basis of naming units past the usual Division, regiment and so on. So I was wondering if it was possible for you to grant us the ability to name the units of a collective armed force. for instance if I had a collection of anti-tank guns I could name that unit the *th tank destroyer *division/regiment/battalion. or if I had a collection of BBs, destroyers and cruisers I could name them the *th fleet or battlegroup, and finally if I had a collection of bombers they could be named something like the "Thunderbirds" and likewise.

All my respect but most people will either ignore naming or put names to troll enemy

I'd do that. :thumbsup:

We could have our own Condor Legion, Big Red One and Black Fleet! Love the idea, you just combined the threads for things before.

I'll edit the name of the thread of something then.

I have read many times various proposals associated with the names: the names of the countries, for presidents, for small vessels, and now even for anti-tank guns.

it is also stupid, as if you were playing chess began to invent names for each pawn. instead, is to spend time thinking up names - better to spend time on inventing a good strategy game. it will bring you more fun.

A lot of younger people play this game, they would find it fun to name their units.

Also, people could 'carry' their favorite units over from game to game e.g. The Harrying Hawks(tac bomber squad) would be carried from game to game by, say, Sandevot and it becomes a feared unit when he uses it and it would get a rep. Rather than people just being known for using certain units, certain units could be associated with them. I could have the Nuking Ninnies, Sandevot could have the Marauding Militia and so on. I bet a load of people would like it.

I bet that every fifth name would violate cultural norms or rules of the game

Most people that stick to games like this, because there are a lot of inactive accounts on s1914 (just look at rank and then the year they started playing), need to have quite a bit of patience and lots of people stick to the rules otherwise the overused banhammer hits them. |I feel that your concerns are quite misplaced because of aforementioned reasons.

Hammer isn't overused, idiots just break the rules too often.

That wasn't very helpful, you can just leave if it doesn't interest you.

if you express your ideas, you have to be ready that not everyone will like them. I'm not trying to offend anyone, but I do not want to pass the ideas that can be harmful for comfortable playing those people who are not interesting to read the names and complete biography of every soldier in the army, if he wants to destroy it and move forward. the number of people who are attracted to the historical RRP is a minority

Now that is where you're wrong. We're not a minority, we're a majority. And it is not only for historical RRP. I have many flotillas, and I have some assigned for some jobs and others for other jobs, but I tend to mix 'em up.

I think Google translate ruins his posts, he probably sounds much nicer in Russian.

Anyway, you don't have read the unit names, you could just have fun noticing that you crushed Big Red One or maybe shot down every plane in the infamous squadron JG 52.

Yes, you are right, Google translator often complicates everything.

I want that, would you understand my position about such changes. If it was originally made in the game, I am ready to accept this. But now, when the game has a lot of other more important aspects require the creation or correction of these proposals sound very strange and untimely. It seems to me that this idea will add more problems than benefits for the players.

You called it stupid, which is calling lots of people's ideas stupid...

I agree with you there. This game has more important things to do at the moment than this, but it would be nice if it was introduced eventually. Fix of the Mediterranean map, fix of carriers and the launching of the Asia map seems more important at the moment.

You also realise the Devs and mods actually comment or Sticky threads which have significance to the game's development before using what has accumulated here for update material.

So you say you're trying not to offend anyone, but that very statement is the exact opposite.

comrade dave and spike, please relax ith sandevot. Google Translate doesn't work very well and he is not trying to offend you. I also got angry at hum once, but he is not trying to provoke anybody.

The past is a foreign country.

I remember offending my French opposite after using google translate.
