I usually fall asleep listening to TH-cam. It once autoplayed a Lathrix video and I woke up to one of his usual tangents about.... Eating people's skin, I believe it was.
Classic lath.
Classic
I also like to listen/watch youtube while going asleep. Once when i was watching the stellaris playthru i fell unconscious a bit faster then normally, so the video kept playing, and then the next one started etc. I remember it so well because the first words i heard when i woke up were: "And i can finally eat their flesh".
Let's just say that it isn't what you expect to hear at 6:00 AM.
This is just causal talk when we talk about lath vids😇
Seems like lath.
Pen-depth pros:
-Good agains big vehicles
-Does lots internal damage.
-Need really thick armour or LAMS to counter
Pen-depth cons:
-cant always see explosion ;(
Help I cant stop reading LAMS as lambs

The only difference between an atrocity and a heroic action is who won the fight
Idea for the largest missile : make it a cluster missile that shoots out BILLIONS of magnetic mines. Very expensive and kinda useless, but imagine *exploding fragments*
I should try that, that sounds like a lot of fun.
Sounds like crashing.

Lathrix has so many great quotes!
“You make nukes, we break your brain!”
sometimes you just need to accelerate a heavy explosive slug into something's corporeal frame at incredibly high speeds
yknow, for the innate human need *for carnage*
Same although, despite how slow they are, I’m having trouble finding slugs
You sure you are a disciple of tzeentch? I dunno, that sounds pretty khornate to me
@@gustavakerman2566 Nah, just embracing the Tzeentchian need to alter living things into not-living things. Embrace change, embrace Chaos.
Man... is there a Chaos god that Khorneflake isn't just the discount version of?
@@apenguininthemist855 Nurgle? Slaanesh?
Nah. That's not carnage. That's just the need to reach out and touch another person. At range. For the rest of their life. But not ours, though. We have other things that need doing.
"...I guess you could make a tiny craft holding a much larger one."
Lathrix, I think you need to make a podracer.
YEEEES
"That's a neat looking craft" sounds like the next run, Giant Flying Wing
Now I wanna make a craft that’s just one wing. And I don’t mean like a triangle, I mean as if I took a wing of a bird and attached thrusters, uneven shape and all
that was actually the previous adventure run iirc
@@teathesilkwing7616 I made a broadsider jet that was guns on one side and a wing on the other, you just need good roll control.
So if you want real projectile knowledge: for hyper velocity projectiles, they can eventually reach a velocity in which the target no longer spalls, (shrapnel) and instead the material parts like a fluid since it doesn’t have enough time to maintain its own structure. There exists slowmo footage of APFSDS darts parting solid steel like hand put into a bowl of water.
Okay you can't just casually mention that without linking it because come on that sounds amazing.

Don’t y’all miss it when people would spend hours making up lore for the lathrix ftd videos and making it sound nice.. I know I do and I respect all those who have!
I still love the Macross Missile Massacre spam. Especially where a fighter-sized craft can out-turn the small missiles. I really like the railgun, though it would have been funny to turn the entire front half of the submarine into a massive particle beam weapon. Please more of the yeetus-deletus railgun. How fast can a railgun propel a projectile to? And if you propel a railgun projectile fast enough, can you get it to glitch past kinetic shields?
Fucking macross man. I like the horrible American version. But the missile spam is still the same fun.
I know you can build KKVs that go fast enough to run into issues with frames being too slow, but that's using a rail-gun to launch an external projectile, so not quite the same thing.
I crashed the game with a railgun projectile going so fast the game said it was infinitely fast
Hey raaston that’s sick! Could ya give me the design please? I have a crap laptop that can barely run learn to fly three and I wanna see if I can start a fire. So the blueprint of that would be nice

@@teathesilkwing7616 *MILK FOR THE KHORNE FLAKES BITCH*
I have an idea for what to call this ship. The Alicorn. The Alicorn, in mythology, is a unicorn with black wings whose appearance heralded the apocalypse. In pop culture, the Alicorn is the name of a super-sized submarine in Ace Combat 7’s DLC missions. This Alicorn’s most well-known armaments are a vertical launch system capable of firing swarms of missiles, UAV fighters and (most notably) three railguns, one of which is capable of delivering a nuclear payload.
The captain of the Alicorn is a man called Captain Matias Torres. His best quotes are “SALVATION!” “Don’t you see! One million, one million lives!” and “(maniacal laughter)”
This I think really showcased the awesomeness of the commandroom the target helpless in the water on the big screen is orders of magnitude more satisfying compared the third person like its easily 100 times cooler. Third person footage of the jet dodging the swarm of missiles was very cinematic. This game brings a smile to my face.
Nice to see you use a different type of weapon. As much as I enjoy the cathartic missile spam, the fine tuning required of a railgun is supremely satisfying.
putting a railgun on a submarine makes me think of crisp, white sheets
1 Million lives
Now that I think of it, you don't use railguns very often.
That weapon is gonna leave ships and flyers in a HEAP.
Nice one
Indeed
I read that as high explosive armor piercing
Got to say I'm really enjoying these challenged runs you've been on lately Lathrix. Can't wait to see the CRAM only plane run, Thumper only only bicycle or what ever psychotic idea your brain comes to.
Ah, but nothing can compare to 🅱️ESH

Imagine adventure mode but Lathrix goes against viewer made contraptions effectively making it him vs us. I'm not familiar with FtD so I don't know if it's possible to make a mod but a nice concept nonetheless.
He could probably just use designer and act like it was adventure, spawning in submitted crafts to fight his vessel. As long as you completely ignore commodities and don’t build when you have no mats, it isn’t much different.
It should be possible to do that, it would just be replacing base models with player models. Yes FTD does have modding
What about this, but instead the opposite: he takes our designs, perhaps modifies them to his fitting, and then uses them in a campaign.
@@smoklen53 There have been other YT'ers that do that, it turns the game into more like an rts. Which is cool and all but cuts out a huge portion of the game. I ended up not liking it that much, and not finishing watching the series.
@@smoklen53 Similar to Dralor, I think that would cut out most of the fun for both lathland and the audience. The fun part is to see lath create ridiculous vehicles from his head, though sometimes a transformation of an ingame vehicle to fit his style is interesting.

A railgun on a sub? Pretty sure Lathrix might soon encounter a mute pilot in a F-22 that just might put an end to this.
Really hope somebody gets the reference.

Wow, i loved that "mute pilot" haha
*crisp white sheets*
Seeing these underwater battles makes me really want a space battle gamemode.
Nuke sub! Nuke sub! also, if you were to go back to the "VR" periscope design, you could have it lower down around you from the ceiling, like a real periscope!
I absolutely love this series, I think this particular build is one of my favorites of yours. I also super appreciate more diversity in your weapon types, that railgun is really nice!
With this music, and the first person view on the periscope, it seems FtD is a different game. Keep it up, I love it!
I would love to see a FtD adventure mode series (I suppose campaign could work too) where it’s multiplayer and each player has a role (ex: captain, gunner/weapons control, etc).
I’ve been watching this channel for a few years and I just wanted to say that is is by far my favorite on TH-cam and I think it’s a tragedy that it has only 350k subs. Don’t get me wrong, that’s a big number, but he deserves at least a few mil.
I don't know if you've done it already but maybe it'd be cool to do a series where you build up to a cruise ship (or something large and tall of the style) and militarize the whole thing with railguns on the decks and missile silos on the inside and such
I made a railgun like this, I’m not too good at the game, but god damn is it effective with manual fire
I’m trash too, in fact I just realized a few days ago that the reason all my boats tipped over was *maybe* because I put like 5 turrets on the deck and had no keel or any counterweight whatsoever
@@teathesilkwing7616 lead on bottem helps or make the boat wider
@@teathesilkwing7616 You can also seal the hull into upper and lower parts and rig the air pumps to act as backup roll control.
If you can get away with only turning on the upper air pumps and if that keeps your vehicle above water it'll be much more stable. An added bonus to this strategy is that you can segment up the hull like the bulwark and all that can be a very efficient way to add survivability. I always forgot to add air pumps to my ship and now I realize why I had to add so much more alloy then other people to make them float.
That's another way to make it more stable if your main armor is metal make the deck out of alloy in order to save weight. Since the deck doesn't usually take as much fire anyways. You can always replace it later if need be.
Make your ships wider (like the bulwark but it doesn't need to be that exaggerated) and it makes it almost impossible to flip as long as the center of mass is below the center of bouncy. I call it the pancake method of building ships.
@@solsystem1342 my ship was essentially a pancake, very wide, not pretty
I like your videos. They have a "home" kind of feel. Like it's always nice knowing it hasn't changed much and I can always come back to a big dose of funny but not obnoxious videos about interesting games. Thanks.
This makes me remember of the magic of Soviet aphe in warthunder
Now I'm thinking of Lathrix installing a chair onto a torpedo to transport him to the enemy craft and capture it.
26:29 On the subreddit someone made a docking bay drive, which was then used to make a flying Bulwark capable of 100 m/s and better maneuverability than most fighters.
Just as a reference, the speed of sound is about 343 m/s. The round fired at about the 20:00 mark was traveling at almost Mach 6.
The final product, traveling at about 1500 m/s, impacts the target at approximately Mach 4.3.
4.3 is what i think some hypersonic jets can reach.
Course, its a railgun, 2000 meters per second isn't that exceptional.
343m/s??!??? I can only type about 5 “m”s in a second!
Lath: your FTD videos are amazing to fall asleep to. Do not for one moment get me wrong, you're not boring and I have ADORED watching you play it. but I always tend to put it on wayyyyy too late (it's 1:15) and end up forcing myself to stay up, though if I put it down I can't sleep!
Thank you so much for the content you make for us and keep going strong my friend!
Seeing the Perseus come on screen, couple with the music, made it seem like an intense scene in a space movie, in a nebula. Especially with the angle of the Perseus. Made me shiver a bit
Love the small missiles. Like a swarm of hornets taking pieces out of enemy fighters
At first seeing the spinning barrel seemed really stupid but it would actually put a spin on the rounds coming out I think so that could help with aerodynamics.
Either way it looks cool which I’m sure is the intended effect.
The sky window and the periscope are dope when you see the missles fly past the periscope and then past the window
Hi lathrix are you going to be continuing the story mode. I love your from the depths and stonehearth gameplay
I was hoping for more from the depths, and Lathrix provides.
I don't comment often on your videos. Your FtD content is the literal best in the biz. Thank you for this video. Keep up the good work.
this is basically how standard AP shells worked on ships and early tanks - designed for an internal detonation.
or you could go squash head for spalling, turning the armor to shrapnel against the humans inside
This is totally not on theme, but a wooden only adventure build. It could be MASSIVE, and you could make it very cute or quite terrifying. Metal only for decoration(including spikes) and vitals, ring shield generators, try some new things.
8:31 look at that ace pilot go!
The end goal of this craft (catered to YOU my dear Lathrix) should totally be having: (3) HUGE missiles, (10) Large Missiles, Torpedos, and swarming missiles for smaller craft. With the rail gun.
Loved it, love the particle cannon, but also; really love the nuke. what do you mean you might ask? This is how i see it, i love cheese, you love cheese, we all scream for ice cheese, so why not get some sometimes. picture it, a bay between the bridge and the engines, spin blocks on some large bay door atop the sub, the nuke begins its assembly, the bay doors open slowly they sit open leaving you vulnerable while the nuke constructs. It launches the particle cannon take out the engines, the nuke hits dead center destroying the enemies' ship "Too Damaged" shows up its been a cathartic day.
Hey lath doubt you'll see it but I want to thank you a bit ways back I built up the self courage to pose a question in your Discord then you answered with your personal experience and a few tips and I really want to thank you because learning from your experiences and looking at what helped you has helped me overcome a major social anxiety / speech problem that I acquired after losing most of my eyesight and going into seclusion. Your can-do attitude and ability to speak through the stumbles at times and to just accept your mistakes and laugh at them has given me the confidence to move forward and kind of pull myself out of seclusion and begin talking to people again so while it may seem that you yourself may not have done too much to assist me you've been a humongous inspiration to me and while I'd like to thank you someone in person or at least in Discord for being a huge inspiration I will just hope that the kind people of TH-cam like this comment enough for you to see it so you know that you do more than just entertain thanks so much for your videos!!!!
I played FTD in an earlier build of the game. A railgun/cruise missile/torpedo submarine was a fun project to get working. It's what I designed after my destroyer before I had the confidence to take on my aircraft carrier/command ship and its strike crafts. Watching this makes me consider giving FTD another go, but things have changed so my designs might be broken now. XD
35:20
You made your own, manual AC. Now you just need to automate it with a couple of radiators, some tubes that can take pressure, and a valve that can be automated.
We are lucky you like playing this game, cos we love watching you play it
Love the FtD videos.
I'm still in the spaceship camp, but I have to say, this sub probably has the coolest interior of any vehicle I've seen you build, in large part because of how open and functional it it. I hope you continue to make use of cameras, screens, and open interiors in future series, even if they're mostly relegated to flagships in campaign. Something about the view from your captain's chair makes combat feel a lot more immersive, especially with the occasional explosion sweeping across the glass ceiling.
Also, if you're looking for missile suggestion, have you considered a vertically firing Huge missile that then releases a cluster of medium missiles that then home in on the target from above? So a MIRV, rather than the normal cluster warhead style where the delivery system follows the smaller missiles in.
Alternatively, rather than go with missiles, you could try to build a KKV by spawning an independent ship/projectile, and then hitting it in the back with a graviton ram. It's an unusual weapon system and it can do quite a bit of damage, if you design it projectile correctly.
A good alternative to interceptor missiles is to just put a small gun onto them so that they'll be able to take pot-shots at things they're pointing at from close up even if they can't quite close the distance.
Lathrix if you're still wondering what next weapon you want to use,
I would like to see your take on cruiser missiles. (with missiles in missiles).
Some things I have found out with testing, it's good to stagger the cruiser missiles as you need less "loading" missiles as they can share and "loading" missiles reload way quicker than the cruise missiles.
i always find it amusing that in FTD you're a robot, as are all your enemies, except, all the AI in the game are actually repurposed humans.
Shells going at Mach 6 speed should annihilate anything.
Lathland can you make it transform kind of, like have guns in the ship and have them fold out and stuff like that and have it very defensive when not I fight mode and have control blocks for each to close if damaged or have I automatically do it and the rail gun as you said is expensive so if they surprise you and destroy it maybe even cause loss in resources and can be put way and protect if it is damaged or at angel it can not hit so it can not get damage or more damaged (you can do a hatch and use a piston to lift the turret up little and use the pistons aging to close up the holes and to make it easier baca a spot for it to close up )
Or even extended propulsion
Plus good practices for building stuff like it in the future
Just some help with fuse timers- it'd be easier to work with distance instead of time (for obvious reasons, you want it to penetrate a certain depth, you don't really care how long it takes).
So, figure out how long it takes to penetrate a metre and you can work from there! Your railguns are travelling 1,112 m per 1 second, so to change that from m/s to s/m just flip the fraction upside down- in this case 1/1,112 = 0.0008993, so just up the fuse by roughly 0.0009 seconds for every metre you want the round to penetrate.
In terms of building a tiny craft that carries a larger one, I’ve done that with many of my largest designs. Allows for cheaper & faster movement, even ignoring the ability to add tons of repair tentacles for nigh invincibility.
Lath, your voice is relaxing enough to make me small asleep. and it's kind of terrifying, because you say creepy things and it gives me dreams of chaos.
Blood for the blood god I guess...
at the start of the series, I wanted you to go into space, but the whole periscope camera business has completely changed my mind.
I wonder what campaign will be next once the Adventure mode series is finished.
Ashes of the Empire?
Quest for Neter?
Glao Campaign?
Or even maybe...
Onyx Watch Campaign?
When Lathrix discovers APHE
You can proly use some APCBC with explosive filler for better penetration
capabilities on angles
Aphefscbc lol
Gotta love a rail-gun.
It would be cool to see a sea crawler that launches cram cannons to the surface, fires, then yanks them back down while reloading.
Eventually a possibility is a battery of 2 to 3 railguns, none need to be big but have a mixed of hollow point and armor pen
"it's not very big"
he says looking at a cannon larger than most of my crafts in this game and 1/8th the size of his craft
Lmao most my crafts are enormous, like a thousand blocks long.
I mean none of them work or float, but they’re still craft technically! I cannot stop making all my craft huge! Help!
wow. i loving the cinematic feel of the camera work!!
Something that might be fun for the largest missile is to have it under the front of the sub and to launch the missile you have to point the front out of the water.
Lath I think you should add the nuke spawn vehicle as the big red button like “oh crap there is a megalodon and scarlet dawn and enemy sub attacking me, nuke them allllllll!”
you cold put the railgun on a periscope and have a turret pop out of the water.
The depth portion of the fuse isn't layers but actual distance. So 2 layers of 4m beams angled slightly can very easily set off a 6m depth fuse.
The reason why IRL subs only use missiles and torpedoes is because Lath designed all of the blueprints before selling them to all superpowers
I have a triple doom cram sub that looks like a sofa (the arms are two huge missiles of course) that ended up surprisingly cheap @ like 450k.
Cram's, even when controlled by AI (and so especially mortars), just don't work well at all if they're submerged, the only real way around it I found was to keep the craft shallow enough to have the barrels sticking out of the water (15-20m IIRC).
Otherwise the AI appears to fully-expect the shells to move at their exit velocity the entire trip, water slows them down, and then sadness ensues.
27:37 Lath, that sub is larger than all my craft put together. It is long than two of my campaign capital ships and has more fire power than one of my standard fleets. It is a monster.
There is only one thing this can mean for you craft

@@teathesilkwing7616 Hey Pherb, I know what we are gunna do today!
Nukes would be silly, but very thematic. This is a sub, after all.
Lathland becomes a U-boat captain and terrorises British sea trades
Quick bit of advice, you need to use sabot bodies on hollow point shells to reach 40 AP, enough to deal full damage to metal.
Holy f**k havent watched you in a long time but you still uploading ftd propps to you man its a great game and you’re a great youtuber keep up The great work my man :p
Dam these designs never fail to impress me, I think it would be cool to see a realistic?.. like real human navy kinda deal in the campaign, like if everything was made to be as similar to a real navy and see if it could make it through the campaign
You can theoretically use the tractor beam drone to prevent your craft from sinking.
you need jammerbuster missiles, medim missiles, half laser-guided, and half rc guided. Put Radar Bouys on the Laser-guided missiles so if they miss they act as spotters for the RC missiles. The laser you use to aim should retract when not in use it's a specialist weapon.
build a tiny expendable airplane drone. to use as a scout.
actually, a tiny spy satilight would be best.
you can put the cameras of other crafts on the screens of crafts with rc vehicle controlers
I somehow feel the sub is lacking a sail (or conning tower, depending on how you call it). Could also help as control room since you could install some windows there that actually point forward
Love the build. It would be cool if you added a conning tower above the periscope area. Not something that would necessarily be useful, but it would look cool
Yeeesss. Lathrix doing a weapon I suggested in the last video and it's really fun? Woohoo!
Lathrix? Waffling? Needs to sleep? Your talking about a different person than Lathrix!

Love to see someone go *"Very British"* on occasion.
How about using the largest missiles to deliver cute baby clustermissiles.
So we can, you know, break all of the Geneva convention.
Cuz we are the good guys
Some youtuber i watch for specific content, but not you. I just like watching your vid in general. Love ya vid, and have a good day
Idea for a new missile: make an ICBM using the largest missile, reach high altitude, ad let the warhead drop on the target. Maybe even using a nuke ;)
Edit: spelling

@@erikpatrone1077 I know, it was kinda rethorical, no harm meant :)
Good idea, but there is no nuke warhead for actual missiles, and I don't think he wants to fabricate his own nukes this playthrough
Hey for pen depth fuses if you want to use a timer you need to have 1 or 2 zeros after the decimal, a .1/.2 depth timer is always gonna overpen
