Sabre or Saber?
on: August 26, 2007, 08:33:46 am
Going over various missions done foir FOW3 and making nameplates for the said ships, I saw that a single ship has been given a different name in various missions...

Given that I'm conpletely unable to decide which one is better I'll leave the choice up to you folks:

GTBC Sabre or GTBC Saber?  :p

Sabre. Cause the word looks cool, and there is a really cool ship in wing commander 2 with the same name.

And yes. It uses normal english instead of american english :P

Of those two, I'd use Sabre simply because it's British spelling and I prefer to use that, but in general I'd go for the Shamshir instead. Just for the "and now for something completely different" factor, if nothing else. :p

Although... was the F-86 called "Sabre" in US despite the general spelling difference? Strange. :nervous:

Yes, the way it sounds exactly the same makes it infinitely more dangerous. :p
