Battleship - BB

Not replacing the names, just putting the designations along side them. This stops people calling them 'BS' or 'AC', which is REALLY annoying>:(

It may be annoying to you, but we all understand what people mean and most of us don't really care if they say BB or BS -- in fact, I am less confused by BS than BB. This is a game, not a NATO simulation. If you really want it changed that badly, just create a mod, and try to get people to use it.

How does adding a nato classification - a two-four letter one, at that - to a game already entitled DEFCON with a realistic world map - turn it from a game into a hardcore NATO simulation?
Then again, it would probably lead to people saying 'y r there 2 Bs???' 'I donno maybe it stands 4 BATTLE BOTE LOL', as it usually does.
But meh. I figured this would be the response.

Exactly my point. Again, it is something that could fairly easily be changed via modding. If it bothers you that much, why not create a simple mod that fixes it?

I don't see why that would help at all. Even if it says on my screen 'Battleship - BB', it doesn't stop other people saying 'MOV EUR BS PLZZ'

Not to mention the fact that Leningrad is St.Petersburg now. Either include Kiev, Minsk and half of the Middle East into Russian region to represent the former borders of USSR or rename cities at least...

CVN = Nuclear powered carrier. What about the CVS of UK and Spain?
Also I always saw Battleship as reading "Combatant". A destroyer (DD) could equally do the trick.
All in all seems OK as it is for me, gets over all the national/class funnies.
In my Kinetic mod I added the Designations on the left side of all the unit icons.
...problem is, Defcon reverses many of the unit icons, resulting in...well...yeah...
It would be interesting to have some text follow the unit around that didn't reverse- maybe some random blurb about it's abilities that fades out when the mouse rolls over it. Just some random text here and there that has no function, just something neat.
