My goodness... hahaha, when the real world collides with the fictional one, am I right?

This might have been the episode where I disabled my mic for a moment, then forgot to turn it back on. Sorry 'bout that!

I find these carronade or mortar type ships have a niche role, and they can either be highly effective or completely worthless... depending on what they go up against. They do plunge-fire at about 7.5 km, unlike the longer-barreled ships that lay out flat trajectories and muscle through the belt armor.

While I appreciate your offer, this is something I prefer to play around with on my own. I will, however, leave this comment up in case others that drop by wish to solicit your services.

@Wulf190d Thanks

You are welcome!

Sorry 'bout that! For some reason, the recording sound runs up and down. Any ideas on a fix for that?

I get that! World of Warships is good for what it is, and I do like to go back to Wargaming every now and again (still my heart is in tanks, with those guys). Be aware, though, that much of the accuracy is in your crew level. Get those trained and keep 'em trained!

Sometimes this is quite the feat, as the minor allies can change very quickly. It seems, though, that if I have fleets nearby then they will trigger events to initiate a conquest. But I do appreciate the heads up from all of you, because I played this so long it hasn't become second-nature as of yet!

I think Persia is with Italy, Australia with Great Britain.

I need to keep reminding myself of this fact, because it is new and I keep forgetting.

Haha, I might give a shot to the blueprint builds that would have been built.

Yes. We do silly things, don't we?

Thanks! I enjoy trying to make them. Could be better if I did a series or something on the actual historical builds.

i tend to do my best to make the historical designs especialy in the ww1 era, i hope they add more german ww1 dreadnaught hulls and the sms derfflinger hull as its my favourite ship

That would be a battlecruiser, correct?

yea, and it looks very modern for its time

She certainly had lovely lines for her time.

Indeed! It is a nice new feature that gives one more opportunities during war time. At this time, since I'm at war with the US, I haven't pushed across the Atlantic much because I am still a little concerned about supply lines (recent updates have made prolonged wars a greater strain on ground forces, which can cause problems for some of the nations).

Really? Some of the early games I remember were Carrier Strike and The Grandest Fleet... I miss the good old days of SSI haha.

Yeah, one of the reasons I really enjoy the early start of the campaign. It is much more... up close and personal. The early-era dreadnoughts can be fun too, as they often can turn into a slug fest. It's probably part of why I enjoy a good destroyer build, because I do get a kick out of playing them aggressively to drop a mass of torps at close range!

You have my gratitude!

Many thanks!

The music is deactivated to avoid those pesky copyright conflicts. I know, I enjoy the music too!

@Wulf190d Normaly there is no problem with the mysic don't worry

Thanks for the support, but sadly it sounds like your back needs it more? Take care of it, buddy!

My bad... But in reviewing the video I can't seem to find this "grunting and slurping" that is such a turn off for ya. Could you maybe be more specific about a time, instead of insinuating that it is all over my video? Cool, bro, and thanks!

How's that?

I thankee kindly, sir!

To what, particularly, were you referring? One thing I really like about this game, and this studio, is that they are constantly working on and improving the games. Sometimes the updates force you to restart your campaigns, but the newest one is supposed to be compatible with older saves. We'll see on that...

@@Wulf190d when it came out of EA there were a lot of promised features missing pertaining to the campaign and ship design and it was extremely buggy. They then immediately moved onto to their next EA project, which is kinda their MO. They did the same thing with This Land is My Land.

This Land is My Land, I think, was another title I am interested in. So, wait... this was an EA project? Fools, if they give it up.

@@Wulf190d sorry, I meant EA as in ‘Early Access’. This Land seems pretty unfinished to me, I got bored of it quick. If you do get it, either get it on sale or from a key reseller.

I get it. I've had since EA as well, and yes it was very buggy then. Has come a long way, but it's the same issue in most every game I have played: the AI is never very clever, they only seem to get massive economic boosts (though in this it seems even less). That being said, however, the most recent patches seem to have improved the AI shipbuilding ability, instead of Battleships with .5" of armor, I'm seeing ships much better balanced and dangerous.

The mechanics certainly aren't perfect. I mean, detonation of the magazine doesn't break the ship in two, or even totally destroy the part of the ship in which it is located (at least not visually). Thanks for the kudos, I find destroyers to be particularly painful early on if used properly, but keep the range up on those fast torps, otherwise they get picked apart!

@@Wulf190d For me its '20's era CLs, painfully slow and hard to balance out weight. UAD is a mess, Ive been playing since before it released on steam and its always had some glaring issues, But it can be fun if you know what to expect. One point it was meta to just ignore DDs all together as the torps wouldnt ever fire (the launchers were fubared, but DDS need them so just not bother with the DDs lol) Anyway, i subbed to your channel, hopefully UAD gets better haha!

Well, they are constantly improving it. Now, torps work flawlessly... with the exception of early-era torps having a higher percentage of duds, something like 20-25% (but, early torpedoes weren't exactly 100% anyway haha). CLs are pretty easy to balance, though they might be harder on other nations? The ships I find particularly difficult for balancing are the CAs in the early era.

True, you have to be in the Mediterranean to start the invasion, however I have seen that if you can get your ships close enough to the point from the Atlantic side then they will support. Interesting thought on Singapore, as, yes, this would force them to pass through your minefield. All in all, I like taking the choke points, if at all possible. Another good location in this regard is Panama, because once the canal is finished it gives you a great passage from the Caribbean to the Pacific, while forcing enemy fleets to take the long way.

Unloaded the Makarov, and we both still walked smh

Many thanks for the input. When I get back to that campaign, I'll be sure to look that up!

Personally I like the idea of doing this, it seems more historically accurate and I understand the mentality of having commanders from one's home state. Sort of up there with the idea of having a president born of one's country.

I mean, early game you can't go wrong with high-level torp tech. And yeah, if nothing else you break up formations which allows you to better isolate and eliminate the stragglers!

@Wulf190d I like watching the volley of Torpedoes inching their way into the formation it is a dammed beautiful thing.

Ahh, thanks! I was wondering if it was too close. Will rectify this in the next set of videos (I did record a set during a stint, so apparently this will be an issue in a couple more videos).

I agree. It's important to have different perspectives out there... in more ways than one!

Much obliged to you! My test run campaign just ended before the turn of '62, but I'll be including more insights as the season progresses! If you have any of your own, please feel free to share 'em!

An effective strategy, one which I did not employ here haha

Not sure that the tech level reaches that far haha

It's rather boring, though... This is just the calm before the storm!

Thanks!

Would it be better to record the whole fight, though?

Mmmm yes! Maybe one largue vídeo with the whole thing and cut that same one into sections

Haha, thanks buddy!

Thanks 🔥
