Is this a fair dinkum Russian name?

Semen Fokin - or a devs sense of humour?

[AndyJWest]

According to Wikipedia, 'Semen' is "a transliteration of the Russian given name Семён (Semyon, a variant of Си́мон—Simon) and the Ukrainian given name Семен (Semen)" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semen_(anthroponym) As for Fokin, it seems to be a fairly common Russian surname, so I'd put it down to an unfortunate name randomiser result, rather than the developers having a laugh. It might be worth reporting as a bug* I suppose: they could simply change it to Seymon without too much trouble I'd think.

 

*the Bug is a river forming part of the border between Poland and Ukraine, and between Belarus and Poland. If they get around to modelling that part of the world they'd better get it right, because any reports of it being mislabelled or omitted are going to get confusing...

Only the RAN could read something else into this name. As explained above, it is obvious! 

[pilotpierre]

So how did you know I am ex Ran (WOMTH Retired)??

 

Et tu Haza?

I remember you detailing your previous history in one of the forum threads.

You must have a bloody good memory, I don’t recall doing that. But then again heading towards 72, the memory ain’t what she used to be.

"20 years Royal Australian Navy Jan 63 to Jan 83.

 

8 medals (Viet-Nam, Far East Stragetic Reserve, Good Conduct and General Service)

 

The Australian (and in fact all Commonwealth countries) governments are not as generous as some other countries in determining what constitutes the award of a medal."

Ah, now I remember.

I had a wingman in the career called Arsen Titov, but I'm a leg man myself.

Stahlhelm Bratwurst... great name, and I hope he lasts longer than Leutnant Sausageknacker!

Oh dear - and I was always so boring to use plausible names...
