The commentary is great but the gameplay is just pure pain, there's so many mechanics and aspects about the ships that don't get shown off. There's many of us out there that wouldn't mind sending a replay if asked!
Even the Mighty Jingles is *SEVERELY JADED* about the game mechanics. Being a 'Squid' himself, the bias just can't be overcome, though I greatly respect both his Service, and extensive Gaming experience.
@@Pearloryx Lots of poor play, not leading targets well, poor positioning, over aggression, camera is way too zoomed in. Whats worse is that they were probably facing bots. WoWs is a naval arcade game, not a simulator and the gameplay shown doesnt represent how the game is actually played and what the game is like. Theres a lot of gameplay out there of the game, its not hard to find a replay of what the game is actually like.
Fun fact Gamology crew, just one of Yamato's 18.1" turrets weighed around as much as a Fletcher-class destroyer, which is one of it's opponents in Tier VIII through X battles.
I love this game, espeically the console version World of Warships: Legends. Just a great mix of history and arcady naval combat. CUrrently working on a French Heavy Cruiser at the time of writing this. Also please get someone who knows how to play this game make future clips for you. it was so painful watching them shoot over enemy ships and just running headlong into enemy gunfire full broadside.
The thing with the WWI Emden, is it was basically alone against the British Pacific fleet, and still the captain was famous for his gentlemanly way of war when he was attacking shipping.
My grandfather survived 3 days in the water in the south pacific . His dd was sunk .He watched his friends die from dehydration and sharks. It was sad in ww2. He served on a destroyer in ww2. After surviving the war he never wanted to go in the ocean for many years after what he went thru
25:55 I live at Gölcük near the Turkish naval command and naval shipyard and have a lot of navy friends, one of them has a memory of going to the deck at night to smoke and after they come back they realise one of them is missing, turns out one man had fallen into sea and got blended into red mist by the rotors
in game the Yamato isn't all that tough, the cheek armour weakness that lets you drive ap rounds into her citadel, the random number generator ( rng ) used to calculate shot accuracy often truly ruins a shot. I took a 2 tier lower battleship up against the Yamato in game, in 2 salvos of my 9 15 inch guns I got 7 citadel hits and took 95% of her health. The team mate I was trying to aid got the kill and we continued hunting the other team.
Played right Yammy is still a great ship no matter what, you only get cheek shot on someone who doesn't know what theyre doing. It has everything required to work in the current meta. Range, good accuracy, tons of overmatch and decent aa. Ofc it aint the best but it works.
Also doesn't help that tier 10 is full of insane paperships with enough broadside weight and alpha damage to make the Yamato blush or (recently at least) ships like the Wisconsin with such unbelievable accuracy that they can hit an angled Yamato or Musashi from 18km away and double citadel them through the cheeks for over half of their life in one salvo while also being basically invisible to the Yamato player with their nuts concealment.
The Yamato at the very end of the war tried to sail out and beach itself off Okinawa to become an unsinkable gun platform (Japan lacked the fuel to really put it proper use).. It was thoroughly beat down and sunk from air dropped torpedoes (17 of them)...
In naval warfare it is a legitimate ruse to fly a false flag, which is why there are usually challenge and responses when two ships meet each other. A Nautical Mile is a little over 1.1 mile. So, a ship traveling at 40 knots would be at about 45 mph. In the Battle off Samar, the Yamato out weighed the entire American force, and she had a lot of friends.
She only fired her main guns in anger once at ships, in the Battle off Samar, where she out weighted the entire US force and was credited with sinking an escort carrier. She fired them again with AA shells during her last fight.
i mean to be honest the uss iowa with its better fire control system even though it had less big guns would probably win, it'd just boat away, shoot and has a way better chance thn hiitting@@frednone
She had three engagements that any of her weapons were fired in: Samar, Ten Go, and I forget what the one before Samar was called. Only during Samar did she fire upon enemy vessels, temporarily crippling Johnston and White Plains. Both were able to repair their power plants, Johnston being later put down by Kongou and White Plains managing to limp away and survived the battle.
@Kaiberus the Iowa had the advantage if there is any weather conditions other than bright and sunny, and during the night (later on). However, in the time period when she overlaps with Yamato, the Japanese trained for night fighting. Iowa had the radars and better fire control, so yes she'd have a clear advantage at range, but Yanato is a very tough ship. It's more likely Iowa mission kills her than sinks Yamato outright.
Have to comment just to say that Max is awesome. He seems very intelligent and he has a great way of explaining things and adding in interesting facts. Hope to see more of him on here.
This is a fun arcade adaptation of Sea Warfare. The ship characteristics and scenarios maybe not historically accurate, but is a lot of fun and sometimes frustrating to master. Being able to team up with fellow "clan" members and operate as a coordinating unit really makes for added enjoyment.
Von SPee on the Emden was cut off from all German bases and completely alone down there. So he had to resort to unothodox tactics to do as much damage as he could without any support. As for WoWs, keep in mind that it is NOT a proper simulation, it's an arcade game. Shell ballistics has some accurate paramaters but that's about it. SHips listing at high speed, yes I have seen in some books a French destroyer in trials at full speed about 45 kts (Le Terrible if I'm not mistaken) listing about 45 degrees in a turn !!!
for those none history buffs. the yamato was defeated by a fletcher class. the yamato guns were just as heavy/big as a fletcher it was the battle off samar (not of, off. it happened right after) aka the last stand of the tin cans. he mentioned it breafly but its the philapines battle. biggest navel underdog win in history
With the german cruiser emden, thats just how all cruisers looked back then. Its an old 1800s ship and most were 4 stack. Even many dds looked the same.
Very unlikely. They should’ve went that way but it would be almost exactly the same as this. This channel doesn’t cover the reactions over the different game but same genre as they’ve done before.
My uncle was a Marine on the USS Franklin. He was killed while fighting fires bellow decks after a bomb attack so I found the comments about fighting fires very interesting.
hearing the dude describe all the bullshit ways you die is the reason i joined the Army. out in the ground i can control my fate but on a ship its pretty much guaranteed death.
That "everyone has two jobs X and firefighter" was NOT the case in WWII and did not change until Vietnam and the USS Forestal incident that John McCain was involved in. The fire brigade of trained firefighters was wiped out by a bomb detonation due to the fire and after the investigation, the Navy began training all sailors to fight fires.
@@Revkor "Based on lessons learned during Japanese attacks on vessels during World War II, most sailors on board ships after World War II received training in fighting shipboard fires. These lessons were gradually lost and by 1967, the U.S. Navy had reverted to the Japanese model at Midway and relied on specialized, highly trained damage control and firefighting teams."
the reason that you don't put a tank on a ship as a weapon is because a warship can have guns far more larger, shoots further and more accurate with it's large radar, auto loader and so on, and we have missiles goes 200+ km today. BUT, putting tanks on a ship is actually done to turn a transport ships or even civilian ships into combat-capable sea platforms.
Dude might have been a SEAL or something, but he most certainly is not an expert on warships. Not only are there no rail guns actively serving in any navy in the world, but the USN has basically killed their rail gun program several years ago.
29:10 Alerigh Burke class ships and those like them have tested launching HIMARS guided missiles from their helicopter pads, along with similar land attack guided missiles and long range SAMs and interceptors
Tho it wasn’t a tank per se during WW2 one (or possibly more) PT boats “acquired” themselves an anti-tank cannon (was either a 75mm or 105mm) and used it on board their vessel for anti-ship and shore bombardment.
I didn't get beyond 4:30. The person playing the Yamato, cannot shoot! It's one thing to have to experience the precipitous decline in player proficiency during game-play, but, to see such a typical example of it (full broadside, then oblivion) highlighted here is ironic.
Scuttlebutt comes from the idiom "loose lips sink ships" because gossip was seen as akin to aiding the enemy because it can destroy morale. Careless talk costs lives and you never know who is listening.
The “navy “ expert makes my skin crawl… saying a navy seal is an expert on naval warfare is like saying an infantry soldier is an expert. This guy is so incorrect it’s not even funny. He is like that jock who was like teacher 👩🏫 I aced the test right ? ….teacher 👩🏫” Nope 👎 “you got a F 57%”
They really only used him because he is navy seal. He might now CQB, and special forces tactics and how to shoot guns and that’s about it. Naval surface warfare is way different than what he is talking about.
i mean idk but probably just the highest senior rank, if you lost the captain it would be 2IC, etc etc, if you lost the entire command deck, i dont think theres alot of commanding left to do
Late in and after WWII, an extra, though slightly lesser, command deck was placed deep in the ship called a "CIC" (Combat Information Center) where the third in command would be stationed.
There’s multiple command positions each with an officer present. It would go down the chain. In the movie Greyhound, the XO is almost never on the bridge with the Captain.
Why are you guys reviewing world of warships it only focuses about the old ships instead i deeply recommend modern warships its a free to play android or windows game with insane realistic graphics that makes world of warships look tame in comparison.
The explanation is good but the gameplay has a lot of mistakes, WOWS works rather different to real life, first lesson people learn playing the game is don’t show people your broadside, it gets you killed very fast
The game clips are kinda painful to watch honestly. I love the overall content and the information being explained but man, the game play clips makes me wanna scream.
The rule of war that applies to the original Emden was that a warship has to fly their battle ensign when they engage in any combat. They flew other nations flags to get close, but they switched to the battle ensign just before opening fire so they technically weren't breaking any rules, just being crafty and sneaky. At least that's what I've read.
Watching the Battleship player shoot High Explosive shells against broadside targets made me cringe. Too bad its an accurate indicator of the average WoWs players skill 😂
You can't say Germany wasn't a naval power and then explain why they were. Bismarck was an absolute monster that took the Allies combined might to stop and they only did it by luck. Had she not taken the lucky hit and gotten to where she was going, it's likely she would not have been stopped and caused absolute havoc for allied shipping. They absolutely hammered Bismarck and it still took the German crew scuttling their own vessel to remove the threat. One German u-boat (U-35) accounted for 224 ships by herself. That's 9 ships per patrol. Then you have the convoy killers in the wolfpack. The German u-boats went where they wanted and destroyed what they wanted with impunity. "It's great, the war ended" yeah, it's great when one country commits mass genocide against innocent civilians! Also that that country being a super power was never forced to account for the war crimes committed against the innocent. Oh and completely unnecessarily as well. The bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were simply a case of "because we want to test these weapons and won't get another opportunity" not any kind of strategic need.
German submariners had 75% casualty rate. The reason the Bismarck got hammered was because the Royal Navy had more warships. Also, Germany never had a completed aircraft carrier. Compare to the US and Japan, the KMS was trash.
Indeed, that emden cruiser was just the technology of the late 1800s. All cruisers of the pre ww1 era looked like that and most dds too. Its wasn't a German specific design.
