In the First Gulf War, the Saudis were not keen on such art. Aircraft wearing it had to be based elsewhere, or at least not in Riyadh. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once upon a time, I was denied access to a Saudi installation because I was wearing a printed T-shirt (iirc it had some Looney Toons).

Unlooky Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 I mean, is this really an issue? If you don't like it, you literally do not have to interact with it in any way, shape, or form. You can turn off ahistorical skins, and not enable the crossover voiceovers. It's just a bunch of optional (exorbitantly priced) cosmetic content, which is how game monetization should work in my opinion (minus the exorbitant price obviously.) Azur Lane is also significantly more popular than World of Warships, being more accessible and appealing to casual and weeb audiences. Due to the player base disparity, these crossovers arguably benefit WoWs more than AL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Itwastuesday Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 23 hours ago, Ensign Cthulhu said: The point is not the lack of clothing. Neither of these two are wearing much more than the two new captains, and if I wanted to and if @HogHammer would allow it, I'm sure I could find a picture of an action chick who's wearing even less. Both the ladies I've posted look ready to fight their way through a fantasy doorstopper novel (and Grace Jones's pic is from an actual Conan movie); the new captains are doing nothing but presenting themselves as seductive in a stereotyped fashion. One of them is even teasing starting to undress for the benefit of the viewer. It's not just what they're wearing (or not wearing); it's everything else about how they're portrayed. Perhaps I missed your point, but it's far more sensible to command a modern warship in a swimsuit than swordfight with no armor. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If EA doesn't want users to show sims flashing their tits, maybe it simply shouldn't make it possible rather than permaban the accounts of people who do it. 32 minutes ago, Itwastuesday said: Perhaps I missed your point, but it's far more sensible to command a modern warship in a swimsuit than swordfight with no armor. I'm pretty sure the sword persisted in naval service long after the abandonment of personal armour. The state of undress isn't the problem; it's the come-hither poses that are the turnoff for me. Grace Jones's character and the sword lady at least have the look of someone who could competently lead or repel a boarding party; the new WOWS commanders seem particularly shallow in that regard.
