Good day shipmates. Welcome to this week’s Royal Navy Strike Sunday report.
Here’s who took part this week…
As you can see, 5 sailors took part, causing mayhem and havoc to the tune of 210,662,870 total damage.
I’m not going to lie - only five people turning up to the Strike - especially when the eUK is under attack - is disappointing. Come on lads! Everyone who can be online on a Sunday afternoon should be taking part in this. We supply the weapons and food, you supply the damage.
Individual performance
This week’s top fighters by Regiment are:
Regiment 1
1st place: Cluff (5,714,06
😎
Regiment 2
1st place: VoodooMike71 (12,899,344)
Regiment 3
1st place: Tinman1 (7,402,79
😎
Regiment 4
1st place: Evil Doctor (170,405,264)
2nd place: BitchWilly (14,241,396)
New ideas wanted!
Strike Sunday has been around for a very long time - it’s probably the RN’s most cherished institution. Since long before I was around the Royal Navy has been supporting and encouraging young players, while dealing serious amounts of damage to support the eUK and her allies.
And whenever there’s a Strike Sunday, there’s a Strike Sunday article. Like this one. Most of the time they show how individuals and Regiments have done in the strike, and recently we’ve tried to freshen them up a little with some pointless charts and the 50 Q7 weapons MVS award each week.
However, maybe it’s time for something a little more … revolutionary. At least as far as the articles are concerned, anyway.
So, this is a call - a call to all members of the Royal Navy to come up with ways to improve the Strike Sunday articles (and, who knows, maybe even the strike itself). We’re looking for new ideas that will:
1. Improve participation in Strike Sunday - this one is especially important!
2. Reward, in new and interesting ways, the people who take part
3. Help encourage new players to join the RN
4. Maybe pitch Regiments against each other a little more competitively?
5. Anything else you like really! Get creative!

The Royal Navy Ideas Department is waiting for you
Bear in mind that any ideas you come up with have to be fair to all RN members, no matter what their strength or division. And - at the moment at least - the reward fund you have to play with is 50 Q7 weapons per week (although don’t let that stop you coming up with new ways of rewarding people). Oh, and if they could be easy to run and maintain, so I don’t have to spend hours working stuff out every week, that would be good too. Assume extreme laziness on my part when suggesting new ideas
🙂
This is the second week of calling for ideas. We got a few good ones last week, but we need more! To help things along, I’ve got a 100 Q7 reward pot to play with. I’ll double that myself to make it 200 Q7 weapons. Any ideas I like will automatically receive 10 Q7 weapons, and I’ll see what’s left over at the end to give away.
So, get involved! Come up with some ideas and put them in the comments, or PM me (VoodooMike71) with them. Let’s see if we can change things around a bit and keep the Royal Navy in the place it deserves - as the eUK’s best MU.
Signing off
That’s it for this week. Well done everyone!
Now what are you hanging around here for? Those decks won’t swab themselves.

What MU are you in? Really? Well it’s the wrong one. You should join the Royal Navy instead.
The Royal Navy runs its regiments based on sailors’ divisions, as follows:
Regt/Div 1:- HMS Victory (a.k.a.HMS Abrantes [RIP Alex])
Regt/Div 2:- HMS Sheffield (a.k.a. HMS Mick Cain)
Regt/Div 3:- HMS Ark Royal
Regt/Div 4:- HMS Conqueror
Regt 8/any - HMS Marie Celeste (for inactives and builder - unlikely to post damage)

Send in your ideas! How do we get more sailors to take part in Strike Sunday? And what improvements can we make to the Strike Sunday articles?
Let us know and get Q7 weapons as a reward!
Hi, just a note on the comment about turnout when the UK is under attack. I often find it hard to find a battle where my damage would be worthwhile during Strike Sunday- as everyone is hitting,battles during this period are all normally over 52% in our favour. Could we look at may be extending the strike window, but maybe only have kits available at a certain period to rescue the need for someone to be online constantly to hand them out? Say all damage between 9am and 9pm could be counted?
Good point!
10 Q7s sent
Well, I sleep during the time of the strike, because of my shift on Sundays...so this could work for me.
If you want a fun idea that could get more people coming to the strike (or getting people to come back) you could hold a quiz during the strike. Either have it so that a new question appears on your chat room every 10 minutes, and the first to answer gets a point (trade your points in your prizes), or have it so that once you claim your kit you also get the link to a gdoc with questions (and the person with the highest score gets a prize). Would be good instead of people just turning up, asking for a kit and leaving which isn't as fun.
The scores for the quiz could also be awarded to regiments instead of people, so that you should encourage your whole regiment to take part.
Not in the RN anymore, but thought it would be a good idea for you guys.
Likey likey. 10Q7s sent - even though you're not RN any more 🙁
You guys should challenge one of the eUKs other MUs to a Strike Off - see which unit does the most damage over the strike window. A bit of friendly competition could liven up both MUs, which would be good for the eUK as a whole. There are plenty of units that I'm sure would be up for the challenge, like the BAF, or that national MU that Addaway started up, or the British Armed Forces, or maybe even the MU I'm in.
Just a thought...
Like this idea. I'll have a chat with the RN gaffers and see what we can sort out. 10Q7s sent.
"that national MU that Addaway started up"
God I knew we went for the wrong name!
v + s
It is just that I tend to be out/busy at the times formally regulated as Strike Sunday times - after all it *is* the weekend!
FOR THE REST OF THE WEEK REST ASSURED THAT I AM PILING IN THE DAMAGE - JUST NOT IN THE TINY STRIKE WINDOW.....
Okay, here's my suggestion:
- Have a weekly leaderboard ranked by dividing someones damage over the week by their standard q7 hit (Easy to find if you have Erep Stuff + installed) http://prntscr.com/ci3st7 ) to give the number of hits they did over the course of the week. This means that small accs will have as much chance to win prizes as big accounts.
- Still run the Sunday Strike, award double for hits done during the strike window.
- Have a Q7 prize pot for the leaderboard (which the unit can increase by hitting goals e.g most damage of UK MUs)
- Award Q7 Tanks proportionally (30% of hits done, 30% of tanks from the prize pot)
