I think people are dismissing the big thing on NSL. 

There is nothing better then being able to scream out in a terrible
German
accent the orders, alerts and attacks. Sure you can annoy people with a
French accent, sound pompous with a pommie NAC or agaonizing with a

You can have the true okker accent for the OUDF (lovely ships) ships and
use a multitude of "mate"

The only one that comes close is the IF fleets with high pitched wails.
