In a match I just finished an enemy kongo was hugging the wall to avoid as much damage as he could possibly get, yet it ended with me ramming my kongo into him because he couldn't dodge. Anyone wanna call that karma?

You could've also done that without dying or taking a lot of damage though.

 

Yeah, but that would've required... Well thought. Unfortunately OP was more interest in teaching that "border hugging Kongou" a real lesson. Both of them sinking is the best result.

is it weird if i call them she's? But yes that is karma ftw lol.

 

Most people call ships a "she". I could be wrong but I think the germans were the only ones to refer to their warships as masculine. May make things a little awkward when you think about why many of us refer to ships as feminine.

What makes you think Germans refer to ships as males. The name may be from a guy, such as Bismark and Tirpitz, but we refer to them as Die Tirpitz, Die Biskmark Die Graf Spee. The Die is female. Der would be male, and Das would be a thing or non gender.

Typically, when you see "he" here, it's usually in reference to the player-- stand in for an unknown, but singular quantity.

 

Ships are usually feminine, save for German vessels, which were masculine.

 

In this case, the player was a dastard, as he was riding the wall.

Does seem odd to call such a ship she, but...

I was accused of wall hugging with my Agami yesterday. It wasn't wall hugging, it was tunnel vision and not paying attention to the map :trollface:

I personally would of citadel sunk the wall hugger then laughed instead of handing the hugger my HP as a reward.
