On October 21st 1805, off Cape Trafalgar, the British fleet under Admiral Nelson decisively defeated the combined French and Spanish fleet commanded by Admiral Villeneuve. Britain did not lose a single ship of the line, while the majority of the enemy vessels were sunk or captured. The battle thwarted Napoleon’s planned invasion of Britain and ensured that Great Britain remained the master of the seas throughout the 19th century.

About the HMS Belfast

  • HMS Belfast is a veteran of the Second World War and Korean War, and is now a popular London landmark. In the game, she appears in her 1959 refit configuration, meaning she lacks torpedoes but boasts excellent anti-aircraft defenses. She features a formidable main battery of twelve 152 mm guns across four turrets, along with solid protection for her ammunition magazines.

HMS Iron Duke (Great Britain, rank V)

5,866 Golden Eagles

About the HMS Iron Duke

  • HMS Iron Duke served as the flagship of the Grand Fleet during the Battle of Jutland. She inflicted serious damage on the German battleship SMS König and drove off destroyers attempting daylight torpedo attacks. The HMS Iron Duke herself sustained no damage during the engagement. Like many other battleships of the era, she lacks adequate anti-aircraft protection but boasts substantial armor and powerful armament, featuring ten 343 mm main-battery guns and twelve 152 mm secondary-battery guns.

So did you tell your generative AI that the flag should be the right way round?

AYE AYE (even if it’s not exactly the right quote)

so no anniversary sale until 26th oct. ?

The quote on the decal is wrong, it’s England expects that every man will do his duty.

Sigh. Such a cool idea for a decal, and yet both the flag and the quote are wrong.

Why would that be? Last years started on a Friday

Looks same like here

So what’s the issue? Original medal is wrong?

That’s from a toy shop / trinket store. The original badge?

Whoever has done that has just used a Google Image Search result

I do not know from where it is, I found it just now in google, waiting for answer from arts.
How you manage to connect it with AI is beyond me.

  1. The flag is wrong.
  2. The quote is wrong.
  3. Neither that flag or quote appear COMBINED in any other form than that listing from a Badge Shop.
  4. If a human had spent longer than 30s looking it up - they would have worked it out.

Hence - the deep suspicion that this is the product of AI with little in the way of someone looking over it before publication.

Well, it was made by human. So step back with your false accusations please.
If there is an error in it, please provide source, so we can update it (if necessary, because I do not know if the decal is re-creation of real one or just an artistic creation to commemorate the date).

Yeah, but the source of that looks sus. It looks to be a private made design by someone who got it wrong.

To be clear, jokes aside, this could 100% be human error instead of AI use (selected the wrong reference for artwork, it happens).

The important takeaway is that the decal is wrong (that’s why I didn’t mention AI at all in my first comment), how it happened is for you guys to determine internally 🙂

They’re offering 2 GE vehicles at -30%, but the anniversary sale is -50%. So the HMS Belfast and Fairmile are sitting at a 30% discount while all other GE vehicles are at 50%? It makes zero sense to drop a 30% discount right now when it completely overlaps with the -50% anniversary sale.

Farmile will also not be here for the anniversary

Yes, so we are right back to the first question?

Fairmile is also a FOMO prem

Why put GE vehicles on a 30% sale, days before the 50% one? Seems kinda scummy

Upside down flag… Are they under distress???
