Why Does Gaijin HATE Australia

[Rileyy3437]

Well there was HMS Canada who was a repossessed Brazilian battleship.

Of the Indefatigable class there is HMS Indefatigable, HMS New Zealand and HMAS Australia, so whilst New Zealand and Canada have ships named after them, they were still comissioned into the Royal Navy, whereas the HMAS Australia was comissioned into the Royal Australian Navy making her unique in this aspect.

Bonus fact

Though there is some indication the G-3 Battlecruisers might have been commissioned into the RAN, RNZN, RCN and SANS (South African Naval Service) as those self-governing dominions funded them alongside the UK. If not each would be permanently stationed in a base in each of those countries.

one aspect of this conversation is about gaijin hating australia by making ‘all’ australian vehicles p2w.

Gaijin simply hates Australia; which is also why all Australian vehicles (except for the Abrams and Beaufort) are pay-to-play; which is forgivable when there are one or two vehicles and thus the option is limited, but there are a few Australian vehicles that they could have implemented within the tech tree, or, could at least model correctly.

and that doesn’t involve me at all. and P2P and P2W are different.

Canada also had aircraft carriers post-war. As far as I can find both nations had 3 in their life.

Unless you count the two Canada crewed and operated during WW2(they weren’t able to be transferred from the RN to RCN due to US deals).

On that last point can I ask did Australia do something similar?

[Razielkaine]

Ran is my weakest knowledge but I’m pretty sure our carrier operation was post ww2 but I could be wrong.

Found this.
As the navy took on an even greater role, it was expanded significantly and at its height the RAN was the fourth-largest navy in the world, with 39,650 personnel operating 337 warships, but no active submarines. A total of 34 vessels were lost during the war, including three cruisers and four destroyers.

[StormRyder13]

I see so it looks like RAN dealing with Carriers started after the war.

Canada wanted people trained in operating carriers so the escort carriers HMS Nabob and HMS Puncher became RCN ships in all but name only as I said they couldn’t be legally transferred to the RCN.

Trading info like this I find nice as it allows me to learn more about the ANZACs as I don’t know much about them.

[Razielkaine]

Yeah for sure. If your so inclined watch a great movie called Danger Close. It’s about Aussies ( with help of NZ artillery support) in Vietnam, true story of the battle of long tan.

As for the carriers we adopted 2 I was reading with a third to replace them for vtol capability but Brits cancelled the sale and we reduced our naval size to eliminate carriers. They cost too much in manpower and resources combined with the necessary support vessels just to escorts it.

We have been modernising consistently and growing at our fastest pace since ww2 if I remember rightly. AUKUS will replace our aging submarines and bring us into the nuclear club with a few American nuclear subs in the Interum.

fair point my bad
