how bout a sailor that can train vets/expert when aboard the ship :D that will be useful
instead of this :)... but will be chaotic to cv players cause more aa players will emerge rofl

Thats all I'm doing too Kong, I'm just toying with it. The bottom line to any military
unit be it an Infantry Division or a ship, the can only be as good as the people making
the decsions. Even an elite unit can be wasted or ineffective by misuse. Leadership is the
most important thing!

We have (somewhat) historic ships and historic planes, even historic weapons (of the level
where game play allows) so why not add the historic people as well???

Make a sailor that can reduce plane loading time

just emphasizing what has been said, the sailor isnt one person so giving a team of
guys the name of one historic figure wouldnt make any sense. it wouldnt be a class
either.

Along the lines of what you may be getting at.. in addition to green/white/red
rookie/exp/vet, have a gold notch that can only have 1 sailor that has like the ability of
like 10-20 vets to represent the hero.

Of course these heroes are mere mortals and can die to HE damage lol and obv
disconnect when you see in red "1 hero sailor(s) are killed"

just toying with your idea, not like this is necessary or will make or break the game.

Easy! I'm just thinking out loud, thats all. What about giving the BO more vision. What
about extending his SD to 1000. Maybe give him 5% turn radius improve.... there are a
thousand different ideas. Also, it doesn't have to be something massive either. Just a
little something to help make each ship a little more different. (Besides, its not like
SDE is going to jump all over it anyway)

People already have crazy repair/reloading/accuracy/overheating rate/times, do we need to
make it worse?

Slow down a little. He may be on to something here. Ships can have good sailors and be
both well designed and well made, but they do need good leaders. This isn't a bad idea at
all. I think that maybe it should be tweaked a bit tho. Perhaps once a BO hits L120 they
can choose one of three great WWII captains (per nation) that gives the whole crew a
bonus. Just thinking out loud.

hmmm like 666(just adding his given vets/exp/rookie :D ) clones of Admiral Chester Nimitz

Highly amusing. Lol :))

I do not like the idea. As the other said weve already got elite sailors and boosted
ones and seamen and such to increase sailors ability further. Also the sailors aren't
really a single sailor but an group really and seems wierd to have a group of Admiral
Chester Nimitz's.
