I realize movie magic, but how similar would their English language have been?

I know that the policy was more fiercely enforced during the early years of it's implementation, and probably got more relaxed as time went on until the policy was eventually abolished.
I am particularly interested because my wife was born in the 80s in Fuzhou, China and she has a brother while the 1 child policy was supposedly in effect. When I asked her about it, she told me she thinks her parents paid a fine and that was it. Which I found a little bit curious.

I've seen two types:
In movies, I see two ships come to a standstill next to each other and they start firing a barrage of cannonfire at each other.
The other I've seen is in video games. In which ships are locked in a sort of deadly waltz with each other, constantly moving around each other do make sure they're not hit.
Are any of these accurate? What was combat at sea really like these days?

We're all familiar with lots of non-functioning "democracies" that have internal strife all over the world. My question is whether a country that has has real, free elections and multiple parties has been displaced by something else (communism? authoritarianism?) in the modern era, and further whether it ever more successful than the democracy that came before it.

It's often said that Tito's death was one of the triggers for the split up of Yugoslavia. What did he do to keep the country together and why did the next leaders fail?

I found out that my grandfather (who passed away in the 1990's) was MP during WWII. He had no background in law enforcement and went on to work in a management position at a large company after the war.
What would qualify someone to become military police? I know they took aptitude tests, it just seems like an odd fit since he had no background. What were some of their typical duties?

r/PrequelMemes aside, in European warfare in the Middle Ages, how advantageous was it to have the high ground? For example, was it a large advantage that would guarantee the high ground side to win >90% of the time, or did the high ground added no more of an asset than if the battleground was flat? And did attitudes toward the high ground change from the Early Middle Ages to the Late Middle Ages?
Thanks!
BTW this is a repost of an unanswered question I asked here.
