Maybe the 800 lb relates to the equipment that the sailors use as well? (SMG, tools, etc
could easily add up to 800 lb

For the record I'm not trying to say it should be changed, I just find it funny really.

All that aside, with each sailor weighing 1,050 pounds, and with warships' corridors
and passageways rather narrow, you'd imagine all the crewmembers getting stuck
against the bulkheads.

Now you know why ships go AFK at spawn point. Because they're all busy trying to
get past each other, or free themselves from the jam, on the way to their stations.

I look at it this way.. the weight may sound high.. but if you consider food that is
stored on board per sailor, the additional weight of fuel, luggage.. now i've always
found it kind of funny myself, but I dont know what a *realistic* number would really be
:D

I'd like to know what navy even allows a sailor to bring 800 pounds of his own food and
belongings. It wasn't a pleasure cruise.

I wouldn't mind crew weight being nerfed. Provisions should already be included in the ship's
weight. After all, this is NavyFIELD. I'm sure they all grab a snack after being sunk.

Thats probably more sensible, lets say sailor weighs 200lbs and has 800lbs luggage/food...
but thats even more of a submarine crew weight :)

it would be more realistic for those numbers to include the acutal person's weight
and his belongings/supplies

Yeesh...try feeding that number of people @_@

If sailors were anything to go buy though, NONE of these battleships would have
been crewable in WWII. I've not paid attention in a long time, but I'd imagine a BB4
here has at least 6k sailors.
