Ensign Cthulhu Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iOemjHJxwRE I know the video content has nothing to do with World of Warships, but I chose it because it does feature an Australian pronouncing the city's name correctly. To their credit, MOST World of Warships streamers that I have seen play the ship get it right. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admiral_Karasu Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 Apparently named after Sir Thomas Brisbane, and that name apparently 'is derived from the Scottish Gaelic bris, meaning "to break or smash" and the Old English word ban meaning bone.' https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brisbane 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invicta2012 Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 It's Brizbun, mate. Or Brizzy, if you want to be familiar. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majmac Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 To further share some local information about Brisbane with you, Google search "bin chickens" to discover a bird that is very much at home in Brisbane. Then, for some amusement, watch this video: 1 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote @elliekubisz2394 6 years ago I watched this entire video thinking it was an actual Planet Earth segment... It took me a while to discern it was parody/humor, too. 🤦♂️ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slokill_1 Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 Why did it get 13.5 km torpedoes? 10.5 km for San Martin Why did it get the Ruskie 12 km radar? 9 km for San Martin Decent hydro with 3.5 km and 5 km 3.0 and 3.0 km for San Martin 5 sec reload and 18.3 km range main battery 6 sec and 18,0 km for San Martin I'm not complaining - I really like this bote. I just wonder where these numbers came from? I know San Martin has the "hit me again and put some steak on it" speed heal, but I still prefer the Brisbane.

Grantwhy Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 The Brisbane is a modified (radar) Minotaur. A more fair comparison would be to compare the Brisbane & radar Minotaur. And if you want to add the San Martin into the comparison fine, but also compare it to the radar Minotaur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldSchoolGaming_Youtube Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 I can counter with "How to pronounce the Swedish destroyers". Because I have to this day NEVER heard any Youtubers or Jingles pronounce the Swedish ("European tech tree") Destroyers right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
