AlphaSierra Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 For the sake of new users, please stop with the acronyms, if you mean a coop or a random battle please say that.

But I don't get it if that is what they mean. These are generally excepted across the gaming world... PVE = vs bots/AI PVP = vs humans. I am not a huge gamer but even I know that. The only other things I can think of would be abbreviations for nations like the examples below... US or USN = United States (United States Navy) KM = Germany WW1 = Imperial German Navy (Kaiserliche Marine) WW2 = German Navy (Kriegsmarine) IJN = Japan (Imperial Japanese Navy) ...or maybe ship types?... CV = Aircraft Carrier BB = Battleship BC/CC = Battlecruiser CB = Large Cruiser (something like Alaska, Puerto Rico, etc...) CA - Heavy Cruiser CL = Light Cruiser DD - Destroyer Sub/SuperShip = SS I mean I get it someone may not know all of these abbreviations/acronyms and such but typing out Heavy Cruiser or Imperial Japanes Navy vs CA and IJN is just not worth it. If someone doesn't know just ask it's not hard to do and plenty of folks will answer and help.

Tpaktop2_1 NA Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 Excuse me. Is the O.P. a F.N.G? Seeing as how the O.P. is such a V.I.P., shouldn't we keep the F.I.O. on the Q.T.? 'Cause if it leaks to the W.G. he could end up M.I.A., and then we'd all be put on K.P. ⚓ 🤭 (￣^￣ )ゞ 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HMS (for RN) HMAS (for RAN) HMCS (for RCN) HMNZS (for RNZN) HJMS (for IJN) JS (for JMSDF) USS (for USN) SMS (for Kaiserliche Marine) HMS (for Swedish Navy) This list is probably nowhere near exhaustive either. The worlds many navies are bristling with acronyms, and here we bring those together with those of the gaming world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
