- I got 64 War Thunder players together to try out my channel dash inspired event. A small German task force vs un ending hordes of British Torpedo carrying planes including the dreaded swordfish.
Will the Task force pass through the channel successfully or be sunk by the weight of shear numbers of enemy planes.

Me and boys on our qeust to find the G spot
I literally unlinked my account a day before i saw this and I couldn't take part in it
*dies inside*
You should have had some players been in escort fighters as it was historically accurate. But other than that I quite enjoyed the video. Thanks for the laughs :)
Uss Indianapolis vs ki 43 kamikaze
My Wi-Fi was going through massive problems so I couldn’t watch but hopefully my messages got through to Haigs (Jose Tacoman)
Kriegsmarine: “Hmm today I try to sail through the British channel”
clueless
Wehrmacht: "hmm today i will station less men at normandy"
clueless
Kriegsmarine: "Hmm today i will hunt merchant ships with Bismarck and Prinz Eugen"
clueless
Vice-Admiral Lancelot Holl May 24, 1941: hmm today we'll take on the bismarck.
Clueless
Luftwaffe: Hmm today we are going to launch a ultra secret operation against the western allies.
clueless
Soviet Union: lets invade finland
clueless
As an Italian I hate the Swordfish with a passion
Taranto raid goes brrrrrr
ironic how Italy used the swordfish for some captured examples
As a swordfish I hate Italy with a passion
Must be a generational thing now, huh?
@@hefish HMS illustrious's swordfishes at Taranto goes brrrrrr
Italian ships at Taranto goes boom
3:28 The raw panic in his voice when he said "OH SHIT ITS A BEAUFIGHTER"
Priceless
Dude, your first Scharnhorst took more torpedoes than Yamato and Musashi _combined._
Immersion breaking for me
@@rags417 German Engineering son
Cus they werent all american torpedos 🇺🇸
@@navyelements7270 American torpedos where shit for most of the war. Watch drachnifel torpedo mark ıx or something
@@jesperholst9318 we are talking the game here, in reality idk, but you saw what happened when the pby bombed him right? The water reached higher than the ship itself, all thenother bombs just sent an underwater shockwave
The fact that you humming Unsere Marine: Deutsches Flaggenlied at 14:27 is a blessing for me lol
I like the way you combine History and Gaming, it's a fun watch 😊
I thought it sound familiar!
kopi is here
So happy its finally here.
as the Flight command from the British forces doing the Event, I approve of this Video and our depiction.
Perfection incarnate. Especially with all the chaps in VC.
Also, as I hear, the Yimie squadron is still patrolling the Coast.
Basically:
"Oh no I'm gonna be hit"
"Wait nvm"
"IM HIT"
"I need to repair before any more hit that part"
"I'm gonna live!"
"There are even more planes now!"
This event was a lot of fun to take part in!
Also, give me my fucking wings back 7:00
Pop go your wings >:3
At least you crew may be alive
Also, imagine going back to the past and told the engineers of the Scharnhost that their ship *somehow* tanked SEVENTY THREE BRITISH TORPEDOS
They'd probably be screaming in pride and joy
"Dis made of Furhuer-tanium!"
I noticed that the torpedoes only really started to do damage after multiple consecutive hits (in the case of the midsection, at least) so in order to do damage, the aircraft actually had to ablate the Scharnhorst's torpedo bulge to do any serious damage
Doging torpedo fan vs “Just ram the damn thing” enjoyer
8:55 I can hear the pain in his voice when he says “Bismarcked” 😂
That was fun, thanks for having me. uwu
I'm really happy with how the foggy weather turned out, felt more atmospheric than I expected.
After 73 torpedoes the Royal Airforce finally sank the Scharnhorst.
Scharnhorst 2: Allow me to introduce myself
Yup I took part in it as well, I was fun and chaotic
I love how the BF1 soundtrack began to play at the end of the "First Life"
Name?
This was so much fun to be a part of even if we were getting shot down constantly. Looking forward to another if you do one again!!!!
Extra historical fact: The three german heavies went through the channel with minimal damage. before both battleships struck mines, and Eugen lost her sturn to a submarine torpedo.
Eugen was actually given over to the US when the Germans surrendered, and the crew spent time teaching the Americans how to care for the finiky, but very capable, German Equipment. The Americans couldn't be bothered to, however, so she had to be towed to Bikini atoll due to already having broken due to the American crew not giving the ship the special care it needed.
Tldr: KMS ships equipment breaks if left unantended.
Gneisenau's fate was sealed after getting bombed during an Harbor Strike and Austrian Moustache Mans order to scrap the Surface ships after an botched Convoy attack in 1943 where all ships beached. Gneisenau's wreck was used an blockade in 1945 and was removed by the allies in two years.
Scharnhorts fate was in 1944 where she met HMS Belfast and HMS Duke of York.
Only a few couple men survived that cold winter storm in the artic waters.
I mean realistically what was the navy going to use it for? They already had the largest navy in history and the maintenance costs of the Eugen would probably be double that if any American cruiser.
@@decentish8546 I mean if nothing else if they kept it functional they could have given it back to west Germany a few years later. It was in very good shape and was an entirely capable warship when the US got its hands on it.
Also this is the United States we are talking about. They built an entirely new factory to build shells for ONE free french warship (Richelieu)
@@42meep13 I mean yes, but that was during the war. After the war they had such a massive excess of ships that they had to immediately mothball or scrap the vast majority of them. As for giving it to west Germany that’s not a bad idea, but it probably would’ve made the French, British and Soviets pretty angry. The French were particularly opposed to the rearmament of west Germany. They didn’t even like the Germans commanding their own mine sweeper forces to remove all the leftover mines from the war.
@@decentish8546 Thats because the surrender monke gang were upset that they got proven wrong, and had their shit pushed in in less than one year.
bismarck moment
they turned into a german version of the scrap iron flotilia by the end
6:02 I've never seen a plane get deleted so brutally
3:25 indeed a "The British are coming" Moment
I love the battlefield 1 end of round music playing towards the end of this.
Prinz Eugen's fate was a crime. She should have been preserved, or returned to West Germany a few years after the war to be turned into a guided missile cruiser as a way to jump start their navy.
"hey swatknight what's it like over there"
swatknight proceeds to get immediately hit by a torpedo
Imagine if the snail god added electirc torpedoes
On no, 2 spooky as they don't have an easy to see trail behind them
flying in with torpedos look like freaking suicide missions
It was.
I somehow got all but 1 actually into range and dropped. cannot talk for my escorts and other swordfish though, they were far more unlucky.
Guess as long as one gets through.
scaring iron with my avenger was very enjoyable, very fun event
the virgin Taihou sinking after a single torp vs the chad scharnhorst sinking only after 75 torps
> Expected a pack of Swordfish to catch on to the fleet
That one Beaufighter: *GREETINGS, SCUMS*
I wish I had been able to participate in this event. Looks like a blast!
Gaijin should also make events exactly like that, it would be sooo much more fun then capturing 3 points!
PS. Great video
I had so much fun Iron, I hope you do this once again soon
Holy moly this must have taken forever to edit
Knowing the fate of these ships makes me melancholic in a way, Such beautiful vessels.
What makes the Swordfish’s sacrifices even more sad was the fact that it was entirely up to the leader of the task group whether or not they wanted to embark on the mission, and in the end they stood no chance entirely due to the faults in the outdated design of the aircraft.
These are the event battles we want.
"THAT WAS OUR FIRST LIFE!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!" This is absolutely priceless!
Damn I really wanted to be in this one could’ve provided air support…
*sad German plane noises* hopefully next time Iron 😢 but still a great video! 😊
The part about the American captured ship is the most American thing I have ever heard in my life
“Sounds like a fun summer cruise!”
THE video I needed
hey i remember this event, had a lot of fun :D
This was amazing!!!!!!!!! I hope you read this. I am leaving World of Warships to play this as it seems much more enjoyable. I actually studied history with a minor in 20th century warfare and tactics. The channel run is one of my favorite battles of that era and this was a joy to watch. Side note... War Thunder is quite different from WoW, any good tips and tricks videos that would help as the aiming for me is still borked. I loved this production, as that is what it was!!!!!!!! Braw-Fucking-Vo Chaps!
those torps have the effectivness of underwater armor pirecing PEBBLES
This one was fun to be a part of
Hey iron! Remember the initial match were you had a stratosphere bomber raining hell on you guys? And the carriers left the map? I was the first plane to get to you guys! Remember the beaufighter? And the cocky af torpedo failure? All your guns opened fire on me and I didn’t stand a chance. Unfortunately I left after the first battle ended. didn’t know you guys would this much fun the second time around! Cant wait to join you in more events! Do you also remember the one squadron of fighters that kept going after that one bf109? Forgot the name of your friend that was piloting it. ( I remember now, it was yimie) Got shot down a lot by him! Even when I was in a spitfire to escort the bombers he snuck up on me! Good fun.
That was awesome! 👍
just a quick note, Gneisenau wasnt abandoned. she was intended to get a refit with swapping her 11" guns for the 15" ones like Bismarck.
i had fun it was cool
12:02 was surprisingly fitting with the circumstances
That's my suggestion thanks for remaking it :)
Thanks for the great fun our brothers in arms did in trying to destroy you all! Cheers! :3
Another place for my bucket list. Awesome stuff Iron Armenian
I saw Lucifur did this few month ago but thats was 63 swordfish vs scharnhost
These be funny to watch again when the Bismark added
That was fun
The event was fun sorry for killing your float plane at the start but you where a threat... :)
you mad lad actually got a good 30 min out of that stream
you can Hit my Bulge Armor
Awesome 😎
Wish I could have played in this
0:41 someone took his favorite toy.
If u want do find more about this just watch the Video from BazBattles about it. The part of this video where the channel dash is being explained the graphics u see in the back is exactly from that video
I like how if the British were just using actual aerial torpedoes the ships wouldn't have gotten nearly as far as they got those torps are soooooo slow if they were using Mark 43s or long lances against them they'd have been screwed pretty early on
You should compare each navy's perfomance in the channel dash
Good LORD was I ever wrong with this channel name. I thought it was ‘Iron American G.I. Hagis’😂🤣
No worriers 😂
the whole air force hahahaha
By the end of that iron would of looked like that photo of hms javelin with the entire bow missing
Video was amazing! Perhaps something with Kamikazes next time?
One thing WT should change about naval is that torpedo's should ricochet if they hit a hull at a certain obliquity
your average 1v1 against a CV in wows
feel like a legit game mode
Atom Zombie Smasher music, hmmmm nice
I cannot wait to see something like this with america and japan once US gets a BB with actual AA.
You will like this video :D
th-cam.com/video/fHYU3mscJ-w/w-d-xo.html
It would have been really funny if someone had been allowed to bring bombs and just...woop! *BANG*
how did this ship take soo many torps....
its embarrassing the bismarck
You took a Ludacris amount of torpedoes, wow.
*torpedobeats intensify*
Fuck, this looks fun AF
I think I'd be the madman who uses a heavy bomber and try and deliver a barrel of monkeys...
Either that or use a Sunderland ans try and blend in with my boat buddies who wouldn't suspect a thing.
As for the swordfish only round?
I have a foolproof strategy that's never failed.
Line up several swordfish at slight angles facing away from eachother and drop the torpedoes in a ransom order.
One of them will always hit and IF that fails?
You always have the spare torpedo you are flying.
At 2:48, I assumed that he had ram the destroy and split it in two. Then I rezlized it was, in fact, two separate ships and they perfectly align to create the allusion.
RULE BRITANIA! BRITANIA RULES THE WAVES!
Nice ac7 refrance
15:07 Press F for smol boat
Hey Iron can we get the custom battle somewhere i wanna play together with friends
Wait what happened to the Prinz Eugen? I remember seem some using it in the other runs from the livestream
if warthunder was actually , historycal accurate
If it's USN, most of swordfish probably wont be alive til releasing its torp lol
POV: Bismarck, 26th May 1941
Yes I'm aware this is based off of a different event in WW2 but I'm a simple man, I hear Swordfish and German navy in the same paragraph and I think Bismarck
As much as I love the historical component to the video, explaining the actual event before and after the gameplay, you forgot the Luftwaffe's contribution to the channel dash (In the historical segment, anyways), something that seems oft overlooked.
That's ok, this video wasn't meant as serious historical coverage. In this event I didn't have air cover so I decided to refrain from mentioning it in the history area :)
@@TheIronArmenianakaGIHaigs understandable, and fair enough.
about 60 torps to the front. so fucking ridiculous
Sink the Scharnhorst parody sink the Bismarck
How many torpedoes could the sharnhorts take if the deth of the torpedoes was 4 m
that was fun eh?
Now do this in reverse, British ships vs German bombers
No way Captain Torres enlisted in the Kreigsmarine
He took 95 torpedoes with 156 aircrafts destroyed
This looks reallY fun! Any way to join any more you may do in the future?
I guess you just have to be on my discord so you get the early heads up for the events
@@TheIronArmenianakaGIHaigs Omw.
Are you gonna use the Arizona for the channel dash? Hehe Zero go BANZAIIIII
