Hethwill, the Red Duke Posted September 9, 2017 Posted September 9, 2017 Like old salty sailors telling tales in a smelly tavern. * rasp chuckle * Given it is RvR I will say DAS, SLRN both chapters, RUS, EDR, oh so many more. Proof being in the history behind, where they actually fought full fledged wars where every single PB was full and where screening lasted for a good couple hours. Power gaming to a minimum if existant at all, and all about the road to war and the combat. This is important as most of those stories are from before certain named clans did start to "game the game", giving flags some interesting uses and eventually come down to the "dismissal of screening" attitude So, from the OP names I select naught. Both are total faux features. ( individuals not accounted for, for we are able of our worst when we congregate. individually we might act different ) 4
Cmdr RideZ Posted September 9, 2017 Posted September 9, 2017 (edited) Not sure about 12 months, but in Naval Action history there is only one -> SORRY edit. Noticed that this was Global server only, so I suppose my answer is invalid. Edited September 9, 2017 by Cmdr RideZ 1

After global was formed several PvP1 clans thought the top PvP2 clan would be crap compared to them. All were put in there place. BLACK is #1 when it comes to rvr. From the screenshots i've seen of the Port Battles BLACK has participated in, its the exact same kind of Port Battles as SORRY participated in. Most of the Port Battles BLACK either have advantage in numbers or the enemy team is formed from 12 different clans and disorganized. Neither SORRY nor BLACK have fought the true Port Battle fleets of old. Those died out before SORRY/BLACK were formed. BLACK could certainly be the "best" current RvR clan. However the best RvR clans in history is, without a doubt (Having seen both the new and the old RvR clans fight) DAS, SLRN and RUS. Now, i'm not saying BLACK isn't good, i'm not saying SORRY weren't good. What i am saying is that DAS, SLRN and RUS all fought 100's of Port Battles/25v25 battles each, against each other. All gaining experience and continously improving their tactics, communications and skill. They only fought equally organized teams and they did it all the time. The old clans simply put, had way more experience fighting well organized teams in equal fights. All this said, BLACK/SORRY could very well be/have been just as good in combat as those clans. However you haven't had, and might never have, the opportunity to prove that because of the changes made to the game since then. (1 Dura ships, no capturable AI, Expensive crafting etc etc.) 4

Do not show up for fights you can not win. Or not fight them at all. Don't put at risk where no gain can be made. Make sure you get into fights on your terms, not equal terms. So when you speak of SLRN, I presume you mean Old SLRN. I know for a fact New SLRN does not have honor anymore.

If there are more enemies than you have you don’t engage and enemies pve. same happens against you. Thus hostility points failed. We will try tweaking it one more time but we are very pessimistic about hostility points now.

AfkSailor Posted September 10, 2017 Posted September 10, 2017 [BLACK] are the big boys of little tiny Global. If the servers were merged they would get their butts whipped.

The newer RvR clans paint a cowardly picture of RvR, their skill lies more in avoiding the fight than in fighting the fights. To me that isn't proper RvR and does not constitute "Being the best RvR clan in NA History". Especially not when one takes into consideration that the clans of Old held equal amounts of territory as the new clan. RvR has changed however, NA has changed, long ago NA entered a new era, the era where RvR is all about war of attrition, trickery and avoiding the enemy. A dull, boring and disappointing era in my opinion. Yes, i do indeed speak of the old SLRN.

Rune Posted September 10, 2017 Posted September 10, 2017 i was there at aves with RUS against SLRN. best fights i have ever been in. we knew we wound win in the end because it would take alot more work for SLRN to bring new first rates then it would for us, i lost my first santi against them it was good times 2

There is only 3 clans i can think of that really earned a nomination. SLRN, RUS, and DAS. (Not in a particular order). Why would i say one of the 3? Its simple really. In their "Prime" so to speak they did about 2-5 "Port Battles" (25v25 SoL Fights) a day. They fought like hell and a ton of different tactics were tried. This went on for something like 4-6 months. All 3 clans managed to capture large amounts of the map (Equal to the amounts that newer RvR clans such as SORRY managed.) The difference being that SLRN, RUS and DAS fought hundreds of 25v25 SoL Battles against each other, each battle they became better and better. Truly battle hardened Port Battle fleets. The newer RvR clans however haven't fought a whole lot of 25v25 SoL Battles, and the ones they have fought have usually been against inexperienced, disorganized teams made up of several different clans. @manuva85 @Snoopy @freddykrueger66 @BABAY @SteelSandwich @Capt Bubbles @Konali89 sorry was less experienced then you when we rekt your ass on usa cost for first time. see ays battle where your fleet match our fleet and still you did manage to score 1 single kill. TDA and co where a clan of ppl used to play na since alpha and you back then where one of top player in NA, yet you got obliterated by better lead but younger players. Who jumped into firstrates for first time. Also all clan you nominated, 1) never conquered as much as we are, dont make up numbers. we got as clan almost half of entire map, while all this clan you mention at top they owned 20-30 ports. (we owned 122 at our peak) and they never conquered ports around an enemy capital and hold it on their own. as we did vs brit in both sorry usa timezone and eu timezone reincarnation. second they all last for 4 months then all died for never showup anymore with the ability to form up a full fleet, thing SORRY did over and over and over, include in this last wipe where there was 3 nation able to form up a firstrate fleet, Sweden, Danemark, Spain, and SORRY. game is dead, you can be objective now, nobody give a damn anymore, and you see majority say SORRY even if they hated me or the clan. becouse is matematically impossible to say otherwise. try me in albion o/ join http://exploited.gg just got recently interviewd Edited September 12, 2017 by Lord Vicious

(april 2016) first was SLRN then SORRY, then RUBLI. so again you make up your own timeline in a very wrong and biased wa,y probably becouse you where busy in charlestown realizing wich train just roll you over. we defeated your entire tda clan almost mono fleet with ppl that started NA on release, while all of you got 1+year of NA ,all super veterans, and you had exactly our same composition in Ays. I understand you not wanna admit it, is humiliating that some new clan , better lead, spanked the self proclamed american elite, alpha players. but your myth about us winning only becouse we had bigger ships and vs noobs is pure horseshit. Since we defeated you, back then with slrn you where the longest time-veteran best pvpers of na. look video of ays in case you need a memory refresh. Edited September 12, 2017 by Lord Vicious

Only clan i remember avoiding fights was tda when we went for usa 2 and you refused to showup or brits hiding from 25 sorry parked in front of their capital with half jamaica in our hands SORRY did hundreds of pb, challenging anyone, you and others where refusing, at every terms, and every time you forced to fight you got obliterated, as well the brits and we won battles vs equal fleets FLAWLESS with 0 losses thing slrn never did or das did. How the hello kitty you make up this bullshit? das rus slrn never went as clan vs an entire nation, let alone hold a port for weeks vs a nation, and if you look their battles was 90% of time a stupid messy brawl. never e real tactic or coordination. You romanticize this old clan , wich old they are not since slrn was existing for barely 3 weeks more then SORRY , and after 3 months of na they where no more able to form up a fleet up to now. Even in this last wipe rus-das rdnn where unable to form up a full fleet on their own and for fight 25 sorry they needed sweden+brit help, they even almost manage to lose a pb 25 vs 19. And our last incarnation not was even remotely as good as the first one but most important tommy your opinion matter 0, maths talk SORRY 99,6% pb won. 122ports owned at our peak, 75 port taken in 1 week. none can match this not even black, and i would chose black over das or slrn any moment i see their video and the coordination was much better. dunno if you say slrn also, i mean they existed for only 3 months really, and they got the most humiliating defeat i ever seen in na, 25 first loss for 0 kill vs rubli.
