Tex saves the Habsburg dynasty [Part 10] - Ultimate Admiral Dreadnoughts 

I won't be happy until some 16y/o is down there stoking a 1.21 jiggawatt reactor and deciding between plasma or atomic shells

@@krissteel4074 yeeeees and their mission is to go to the past to save the future! the last ship of humanity on the greatest naval time travel adventure of all times! XD

@@krissteel4074 And he better be in Andromada orbits when he’s doing so!

Yes, yes! hahahhaha!

I will never be fed up with him refitting the Habsburg. It must live forever!

She'll grow up moving cargo

Guess this grown ass man and your infant daughter have something in common XD

Throat damage and heavy naval gunnery. The perfect lullaby.

My son used to fall asleep to tex talking battletech. We have had to stop before he properly started talking about the “god damned blackwatch”.

Tex is one of the few things i can play relatively loud in my house with no complaints. Especially his 'mad bastard' laugh

It might have been a better ship with a bigger caliber gun. but then it wouldn't be a destroyer.

Light cruiser, that's a Battle Cruiser.

Ah, the historical snow job path. "Oh yeah Parliament we're just putting forth a budget to build 12 Frigates, smol botes on the cheap, very fiscally responsible..." *The Frigates in Question*

Try US Navy today. *glares at the Zumwalt*

I wanted it to run out during the blockade

HMS Minotaur: "Right chaps, that about does it, let's get back on blockade duty." Corinthia, limping along at 12 knots with a 15° list and half her deck turned into a swimming pool: "I DIDN'T HEAR NO BELL!"

Star Wars nerd here, so feel free to ignore me, but Star Destroyers are their own distinct type of capital ship vessel and additionally there actually are destroyer class vessels in the Star Wars setting and those are more in keeping with what one would expect an escort class vessel to be - that being small, fast, with a fairly light armament usually.

A Torpenscutunboaten, perhaps?

Those would just be oversized PT boats with that speed.

@@braith117 I would accept “elfut class”

Y'know you're not wrong......oh how the mighty have fallen.

"Austria-Hungary was on the edge of collapse, barely able to retain what territory they already had, let alone expand. With no colonies abroad and a military lagging behind its neighbors, it was all but certain to be picked apart by the Great Powers of Europe. Then, in a flash, this sick man turned healthy again. They waged war as if it was going out of style, winning battle after battle and bringing powers far mightier to table every time. And at the center of it all is one Admiral Tex. This man, called the Reaver and the Madman of the Mediterranean, has links to every successful naval operation the Austro-Hungarian navy performed in this era. Was he simply a brilliant mind, perfectly in tune with the changing times? Or, as newly-discovered evidence suggests, was he something more... than human?" -Ancient Aliens, S2E5, "Aliens and the Dual Crown"

@@AGTheOSHAViolationsCounter Sci-Fi, the Science Fiction channel, had become SyFy, the Wrestling and Bad Reality TV channel. The History Channel was just picking up the slack!

Yeah I stopped watching the history channel after they stopped airing all the old documentaries that were always narrated by a british man.

Wide Guns!? YAAAA!

The KuK is the sort of army that would draft Emus if it could get away with it.

Im sorry I read it in. Werner Herzog voice

He would never dishonor the glorious dead by doing that! RIP Wide Tom!

pretty sure he did that on purpose

@@RealArcalian Aye so am I, I just felt like pointing it out lol

The *widest* of Toms.

Or like adjusting the tracking on an old VCR set.

@@schaddenkorp6977 "Heck with, that'll do for now" moment included. 😁

It's something I've been conscious of since Habsburging my starting battleships in my American game, because there are _very_ limited positions you can put your main gun turrets on that hull, and once I had mark four guns I couldn't mount an aft turret at all because of the rear overhang. At least not with the hull length I had; if I'd built it longer and narrower I might've been able to keep the rear turret longer.

I was genuinely surprised when I saw it this morning. I'm glad we got this pleasant surprise on this Memorial Day

He's just helping us veterans with his soothing voice and fantastic gaming.

Gods know I needed it. Memorial Day sucks.

Fewer toenails

May want to check your math again. The _DESTROYER_ had eight turrets, four guns each, but only six could fire to either broadside. Thirty-two guns, twenty-four in a broadside.

I imagine a ban will be placed on Worcestershire Sauce as the Austrians will get sick and tired of everyone giggling when they try to pronounce it.

I was shouting at the screen "the hapsburg should protect the homeland! Break the blockade with it!"

i modded my game to let you do that but i don't know how to redistribute without sending out a 1GB file

I find it a missed opportunity to not have it about the reformed Austrian Empire that essentially secured its stability by letting go of the more unruly parts of the Balkans and Austrianizing their holdouts by enforcing their language and culture, under the rule of Franz Ferdinand, since his assassination never happened. At first, their liberation of northern Ireland is supported and welcomed by the republicans and Micheal Collins due to utterly destroying the Ulster black and tan auxiliaries. The supplies of arms, ammunition and helmets as well the fact the Austrians are catholic win the people over, but the honeymoon faze soon sours as the Irish realize it's an annexation. Backroom deals, new alliances and an unspoken sense of populism between the Irish and British form, as they begrudgingly work together to oppose the Austrians, knowing both are too weak to stop the hun. Will the sun finally set on the British empire, or will the emerald isles be the spoils of war?
