Standing on the Beach watching the naval battle

[angriff]

After watching the Admiral the Dutch movie about Michiel de Ruyter (must see) I was thinking about the scenes where town's people were watching the battles  from the beach.   It would be both cool and entertaining ( if not engrossing) to enter a port battle and spawn as a spy glass on shore to watch the battle as a spectator.   There could be very few things that would cement new players to the game than this.

You play a game in wich you watch peoples playing the game, try to imagine watching this on youtube.

Welcome to the navalception.

Will have to check out the movie now.

 

 

I wouldn't mind if once you sunk in PB"s you could go more to this mode or a better overview mode to watch the rest of the flight.  Lilke that you can't see damage or click on the other team ships but I would like to watch it more than just from clicking from one ship to the other or allow more of a zoom out function for this mode than they allow all ready.  By watching other ships fight I have learned a few things too.

Youtube is so last year it isn't silly.  You might as well say view it in picture taken by a Polaroid!    (oh I forgot they brought that back for millennials.    Spectator mode if you miss the battle call would be a great person engagement and real time.

I watched The Admiral a couple months ago on Netflix.  Very good movie.  A lot of people agree that there should be a spectator mode if both sides agree to it, especially for tournaments.  Maybe in port battles if you are a member of either nation you can spectate the battle.
