The Canadian Red Ensign surely rather than Britain's Red Ensign, after all the British Red Ensign was the Merchant Navy flag. The Canadian version has the coat of arms incorporated into the flag.
So neat fact.. back in the 80s I was Sea Cadet in the Niagara Region.... the HMCS Haida was moored at Ontario Place in Toronto ON . Our Cadet Corp was given permission to spend an entire weekend on the Haida touring the entire ship, and sleeping in the historical crew hammocks. She is currently in Hamilton ON at the naval reserve station name Star. She is still a museum ship.
I am pondering getting it for sentimental purposes, but I am not so comfortable spending the financial amount needed. Doesn't seem very reasonable. Plus my wife would probably give me a burial at sea. Lol
I tried the Canadian code which I found on Reddit, and it’s no longer active. It’s really unfortunate, but I’ll wait again until this Canada Day and see if they post it again. Hopefully they do. As for your game, great game. You did the Haida proud. I love British destroyers, and watching you play is confirmation that I’ll also love it. Considering I’ve taken many tours on her, and own the hat, it’s a no brainer for me and most Canadians that play the game. I will say, it is pretty cheese that finally after years of asking, they give us a Canadian ship, but they don’t even let us put the flag on it. If you have some pull with the developers, get them to add the Canadian red Ensign. Thanks for sharing Spartan.
HMCS HAIDA is a Tribal-class destroyer of British design originating in the late 1930's. The Tribals were unique as they were the first destroyers to incorporate twin gun mountings. This enhanced armament made them exceptionally powerful for their size. In all, 27 Tribals were built. There were 16 in the British navy (of which 12 were lost in WW2), 8 in the Canadian navy (of which 1 was lost in WW2) and 3 in the Australian navy. The remainder were scrapped between 1945 and 1965. Out of the approximate 400 warships which comprised the R.C.N. during World War 2, only HAIDA, SACKVILLE and ACADIA survive. The Royal Canadian Navy decided to acquire this type of vessel in 1939 as it was believed that these ships were ideally suited for patrolling Canadian waters with sufficient armament to engage commerce raiding surface vessels. From a political perspective, the acquisition of vessels of such sophistication virtually guaranteed their continued service in the Navy after the war. For those who had suffered the ravages of pre-war defence policy, this was imperative for the continuance of the Naval Service. Canadian Tribals could not be built in Canada due to a lack of shipbuilding expertise. Negotiations were conducted with the Royal Navy whereby Canada agreed to purchase Tribals from British shipyards, while an additional four would be built in Halifax. As these negotiations progressed, the course of the war changed in such a way as to require that the four British built Tribals would be used in European waters under Admiralty control. During World War 2, the Tribals saw considerable action in every theatre of war from the Arctic to Okinawa and their exploits are legend in naval history. In the fall of 1943, HAIDA operated out of Scapa Flow with the Royal Navy to assist with convoy escorting duties to North Russia on the Murmansk run. On Dec 26, 1943 she was present at the Battle of North Cape when the German battle cruiser SCHARNHORST was sunk by the British Home Fleet. Early in 1944, HAIDA joined the Tenth Destroyer Flotilla operating out of Plymouth England. The objective of this mixed force of British, Canadian and Polish warships was to clear enemy shipping off the coast of France in anticipation of the D-Day landings. During this period, HAIDA achieved great fame by destroying more enemy vessels than any other ship in the R.C.N. Following a refit in Halifax in late 1944, HAIDA rejoined the Fleet in Scapa Flow in early 1945 and spent the rest of the war operating in the Arctic and on the coast of Norway. After the surrender of Germany, the ship was overhauled to operate in the Pacific but the war ended before her conversion was completed. In 1947, HAIDA was recommissioned into the Royal Canadian Navy and worked on the East Coast and in the Arctic. In November 1949, HAIDA was doing maneuovers off the coast of Bermuda when an American B-29 bomber went down. She was first on the scene and lowered her seaboat once again to rescue the downed airmen. As a result, the ship's company received many letters of congratulations. The co-pilot of the aircraft was originally from Texas and for this reason, HAIDA's crew were bestowed with certificates naming them 'Honourary Texans'. The ship operated with the Atlantic Fleet in the post-war years and in 1950 she was taken out of service for modernization and conversion to an Anti-Submarine escort with Squid mountings on her quarterdeck and improved ASDIC (sonar). HAIDA was recommissioned at a ceremony held in Halifax on a cold and snowy day in March of 1952. At that time, HAIDA became the first Canadian ship commissioned under a Queen, thus became known as "Her Majesty's Canadian Ship". After trials and workups were completed, she sailed almost immediately for Korea. HAIDA did two tours in Korean waters between 1952-54, on both occasions circumnavigating the globe. After Korea, the ship served in the Canadian Atlantic Fleet working mostly with NATO forces until she was paid-off and taken out of service in 1963. The ship was going to be sold for scrap but a group of Torontonians, recognizing that this was the most famous ship in the Canadian Navy, raised enough money in the private sector to buy the vessel and have her towed to Toronto. At the beginning of August 1965, she opened to tourists at the foot of York Street - a naval museum, maritime memorial and Sea Cadet training ship.
I have lost a lot of will to play this game because if the update. I am getting raped by carriers no matter what I do. I am a BB captain first and foremost and a cruiser captain second. I really hope this update will not stand as is for too long as many of my friends feels the same and I think we are not alone. But your content Spartan is still one of the few good things related to this game right now.
Yep I bought the 33k pack 😅 I needed my Canadian ‘Fightingest’ ship, only pack with the Haida flag, I plan on visiting the ship I’m Hamilton since it’s a couple hours away from where I live woooooo! o7
So my kids gave me ps gift cards for fathers day.. they wanted me to get the Haida. They know I'm a Canadian Armed Forces veteran, and served in Royal Canadian Navy as a Naval Radio Operator. Plus I was on the Comissioning Crew for the HMCS Vancouver back in 93. Pretty great gift. I'm pretty content using the Haida. Wish their was a way getting a 🇨🇦 flag for it.
USS Black has the highest damage for 533mm torps at 21k. Also, my personal opinion i wouldn't run "Back In Stock" i would use "On Second Thought" which would reduce your main reload and i personally i would sacrifice one of your concealment inspirations and use Mordoff to reduce your reload even further. Then there is running "Velocious" and using Blue as an inspiration, making your ship really quick, which can be extremely helpful in tense situations. Being a DD main this is what i would do.
I just unlocked D-Day camo for one of my favorite ships ever. (BB36 Nevada) Got to admit it fellaz. The cheer up ship looks amazing. Best camo in game. Imo 👍
As a DD main I am having a bit of fun with the new update and Haida is fun but I do still think carrier damage needs to be tuned down because now we have battleships all bunching together like a bunch of idiots and its making it really hard to contest caps but at least I get very fruitful torpedo salvos cause everyone is staying close to eachother.
Appreciate the video on this again you have saved my dollar and because of that I have a few more dollars to spare for some more memberships on the next stream that I catch but if you can I got a ship last night I think it's called the ship wreck or something like that it's one of the new ships that came out in the store and I got it in a crate I'd have to look again at its actual name I'm probably butchering it which is normal of me but could you maybe do a video on that one Forest since I am a DD main and I just haven't had a chance to take her out yet. The ship is called the ship smasher now that I had a second at a stop to look and see what it was actually called and now I sound less like a potato more like a french fry
Ves te lo dije eres un excelente jugador ayer con el portaaviones y hoy con un destructor tienes más mérito del que crees, si por ejemplo usas un shimanto ay el infierno que puedes desatar
This ship is good in my opinion. For a tier 7 I would say it’s pretty good. I would play this destroyer a lot if I even had it. But I’m a crusier player so im not gonna play Destroyer a lot.
I think that they should, put the canadian flag on the haida. Look at pan europe, the all got their nations flag. The friesland has a dutch flag ( not the one i prevere, but stil) the orkan and blisckawicka have the polish flag,and all the Swedish ships have their own flag, even the t4 bb has the austrianhungarian flag. So I can't see why commen wealth,pan Asia, pan America can't have that too.
A BEAUTY ship, glad my country is getting represented in Legends. HOWEVER, the fact that Haida will be an event exclusive ship, is an utter tragedy. Forced to pay 150 for my country's most famous ship is ridiculous, at least make it so Haida is available normally in the store.
@@SpartanElite43 Oh, That is true, 100%, and I've got no problem buying the Doubloons to get it (About 150$ CAD). MY PROBLEM Is, Haida was MEGA requested by the Legends Community, Like the Hindenburg of DDs. It feels like a slap in the face for WG to only sell it for an event. To my country, Haida to us Canadians is like your USS New Jersey, or Britain's HMS Hood. Haida is our PRIDE AND JOY, to be a cash grab feels like a real scummy move.
@@SpartanElite43 Oh, I understand them wanting to make money, I get it. It's a method to make money, but it still doesn't sit right with the Canadian playerbase. It's very predatory to the Canadian players. "Get your country's ONE FAMOUS SHIP because it's gone after one month" is some pretty scummy sales tactics. I'm not saying you're wrong, you 100% have a point and I respect that. WG's tactic here though, is still REALLY awful to us Canadians, and not fair. Keep in mind, Haida was already removed from purchase over on PC, because it was a great Submarine hunter for one particular Meta, then never added back. Haida is only gunna be available here for Legends, and a month. I bet I could find other Canadian players who would agree and say "Not fair". I'll buy it because the ship is an important part of Canadian History, but that reason alone.
"Built for Canada, I GUESS" DAMN fcking straight it was, and we were murderous bastards with it ! Nicknamed by the British alike, the most fightingest fighting ship..docked in my home town with Korean Vets giving tours💪🏼 "i guess" he says 😐😬😂
I hate that wargaming made it so expensive. I'm a Canadian and right now to buy that ship it's $93.49 plus tax which I'll bring it up over $100 and from a video I watched they said you can't use the 70% off coupon for it
They nerfed it!!!!!!!!!!!! Because of its class, the Tribal, were also known as Ship Destroyers, Haida's cannons should be of the most successfull of the ww2 ones ingame and the Canadian Navy were the go to Hunter Killer navy of the Allies in the Atlantic during WW2, so it's sub fighting abilities should also be top tier.... And then there is Haida itself... Haida is the single most successful Destroyer of WW2, so it should be even more powerful than the rest, either the most powerful of tier 7 or, at least, the most powerful WW2 destroyer ingame
If you look at the destroyer HE it has the strongest HE in the game plus fast reload. I wouldn't run AP unless it calls for it but i would run HE most of the time.
@@SpartanElite43 Spartan, she's a gunboat. She only has 4 torps (they are similar to Caprice torps). Get rid of all that concealment and put it into guns, speed and steering, (combine propulsion mod 2 with steering gears 3, consider L. du Fournet and Blue Furiora with a 2,2,2,1,1). Yes there are many choices, but make one. That was a good game with her in the stream by the way. 😉

In WWII Canadian ships flew the British Red Ensign, the maple leaf flag did not exist until 1965.
The Canadian Red Ensign surely rather than Britain's Red Ensign, after all the British Red Ensign was the Merchant Navy flag. The Canadian version has the coat of arms incorporated into the flag.
@@vinnyganzano1930 4 variations of the British ensign were used, all incorporating the coat of arms as the major difference from the British ensign.
The Canadian Red Ensign. It was our flag.
True statement right there. Still would lkmw to put the Canadian flag on it
So neat fact.. back in the 80s I was Sea Cadet in the Niagara Region.... the HMCS Haida was moored at Ontario Place in Toronto ON . Our Cadet Corp was given permission to spend an entire weekend on the Haida touring the entire ship, and sleeping in the historical crew hammocks. She is currently in Hamilton ON at the naval reserve station name Star. She is still a museum ship.
Awesome!
I am pondering getting it for sentimental purposes, but I am not so comfortable spending the financial amount needed. Doesn't seem very reasonable. Plus my wife would probably give me a burial at sea. Lol

Insane gameplay Spartan, Amazing destroyer. 👍👍👍
Glad you enjoyed it
Looks like a Solid ship 👌🏻 great video as always Spartan 🤘🏻

Finally a Canadian Ship!!!
Yeah and they stick a hefty price tag on her. Bloody Wargaming.
Leafs got done dirty gg on the video Spartan.
As a Canadian Thanks for giving RCN Haida a play
Sorry I didn't do more
@@SpartanElite43 nothing to be sorry for. Thanks for all the great videos.
I live 5 minutes from Haida. Looks small in game and in photos but she’s pretty large for a destroyer. Great place to go for Canada Day.
It's crazy how big ships are in person

this thing having secondaries means CQE is possible on this destroyer
also, she's a museum ship and you can go visit her in Hamilton

Hi.Spartan
I walked around on this ship. Two different times It this in Ontario place
I might have to pick it up.

At Tier IV i was playing the Derflinger, lost 27k health in the first 3 minutes of the game just to a carrier :/
To turn and not drift, reduce your speed to 1/2 and you’ll make a regular turn.
I just unlocked D-Day camo for one of my favorite ships ever. (BB36 Nevada) Got to admit it fellaz. The cheer up ship looks amazing. Best camo in game. Imo 👍
One of the d-day event tasks is to get detections with commonwealth destroyers, I assume that unless you get this ship you can’t complete the event?
Her main purpose was convoy anti U boat protection.
Canada has arrived, break out the Geneva Conventions.
The aft AA gun looks like a 4th main gun
It was a main gun position but the overall design was updated to have better AA
As a DD main I am having a bit of fun with the new update and Haida is fun but I do still think carrier damage needs to be tuned down because now we have battleships all bunching together like a bunch of idiots and its making it really hard to contest caps but at least I get very fruitful torpedo salvos cause everyone is staying close to eachother.

@@SpartanElite43 ok so I'm not doing anything wrong by not getting loads of damage

Yeah, like super commander for super ships. Its a lot of money you paid for the ship
World of warships should a commonwealth tect tree
Hadia has secondaries just so you know spartan
Haida flag available for 33,000 doubloons.
As a Canadian this just makes me sad they just had to put the most average ship with no Canadian flags
I think they have a Canadian flag in the game but I think it was a code you had to enter from like IG
Yo why did you make this a members only
I release all my videos members only and schedule them to be released. This video releases tomorrow at noon
I hate that wargaming made it so expensive. I'm a Canadian and right now to buy that ship it's $93.49 plus tax which I'll bring it up over $100 and from a video I watched they said you can't use the 70% off coupon for it
Yeah its crazy how expensive things are in this game
They nerfed it!!!!!!!!!!!!
Because of its class, the Tribal, were also known as Ship Destroyers, Haida's cannons should be of the most successfull of the ww2 ones ingame and the Canadian Navy were the go to Hunter Killer navy of the Allies in the Atlantic during WW2, so it's sub fighting abilities should also be top tier....
And then there is Haida itself... Haida is the single most successful Destroyer of WW2, so it should be even more powerful than the rest, either the most powerful of tier 7 or, at least, the most powerful WW2 destroyer ingame
In real life Haida was really successful.
Nice
We need a Spanish ship line
What has Spain done at sea other than get beaten up by the English then the British?
Not trying to be insulting but it's kinda true.🇬🇧🍺👍
Hi
If you look at the destroyer HE it has the strongest HE in the game plus fast reload. I wouldn't run AP unless it calls for it but i would run HE most of the time.
i do run the HE most of the time but it also has very good ap
@@SpartanElite43 I know was just looking at the HE and was impressed but the AP is pretty good didn't mean sound negative.
Haida is pronounced hi-da.
super squishy dd, even more than normal.
So far i have a 2 to 1 ratio on this ship, you may have judged her a lil hard
She would be a powerhouse with an actual dd commander though
Spartan, you haven't a clue how to set up or play tha Haida. 😂
Because there are so many options available
@@SpartanElite43 Spartan, she's a gunboat. She only has 4 torps (they are similar to Caprice torps). Get rid of all that concealment and put it into guns, speed and steering, (combine propulsion mod 2 with steering gears 3, consider L. du Fournet and Blue Furiora with a 2,2,2,1,1). Yes there are many choices, but make one. That was a good game with her in the stream by the way. 😉
A perfect ship for Canada:
Sounds great but it's just meh and has no captain to elevate it beyond mediocre
HMCS HAIDA is a Tribal class destroyer of British design originating in the late 1930's. The Tribals were unique as they were the first destroyers to incorporate twin gun mountings. This enhanced armament made them exceptionally powerful for their size. In all, 27 Tribals were built. There were 16 in the British navy (of which 12 were lost in WW2), 8 in the Canadian navy (of which 1 was lost in WW2) and 3 in the Australian navy. The remainder were scrapped between 1945 and 1965. Out of the approximate 400 warships which comprised the R.C.N. during World War 2, only HAIDA, SACKVILLE and ACADIA survive.
The Royal Canadian Navy decided to acquire this type of vessel in 1939 as it was believed that these ships were ideally suited for patrolling Canadian waters with sufficient armament to engage commerce raiding surface vessels. From a political perspective, the acquisition of vessels of such sophistication virtually guaranteed their continued service in the Navy after the war. For those who had suffered the ravages of pre-war defence policy, this was imperative for the continuance of the Naval Service. Canadian Tribals could not be built in Canada due to a lack of shipbuilding expertise. Negotiations were conducted with the Royal Navy whereby Canada agreed to purchase Tribals from British shipyards, while an additional four would be built in Halifax. As these negotiations progressed, the course of the war changed in such a way as to require that the four British built Tribals would be used in European waters under Admiralty control.
During World War 2, the Tribals saw considerable action in every theatre of war from the Arctic to Okinawa and their exploits are legend in naval history. In the fall of 1943, HAIDA operated out of Scapa Flow with the Royal Navy to assist with convoy escorting duties to North Russia on the Murmansk run. On Dec 26, 1943 she was present at the Battle of North Cape when the German battle cruiser SCHARNHORST was sunk by the British Home Fleet. Early in 1944, HAIDA joined the Tenth Destroyer Flotilla operating out of Plymouth England. The objective of this mixed force of British, Canadian and Polish warships was to clear enemy shipping off the coast of France in anticipation of the D-Day landings. During this period, HAIDA achieved great fame by destroying more enemy vessels than any other ship in the R.C.N.
Following a refit in Halifax in late 1944, HAIDA rejoined the Fleet in Scapa Flow in early 1945 and spent the rest of the war operating in the Arctic and on the coast of Norway. After the surrender of Germany, the ship was overhauled to operate in the Pacific but the war ended before her conversion was completed. In 1947, HAIDA was recommissioned into the Royal Canadian Navy and worked on the East Coast and in the Arctic. In November 1949, HAIDA was doing maneuovers off the coast of Bermuda when an American B-29 bomber went down. She was first on the scene and lowered her seaboat once again to rescue the downed airmen. As a result, the ship's company received many letters of congratulations. The co-pilot of the aircraft was originally from Texas and for this reason, HAIDA's crew were bestowed with certificates naming them 'Honourary Texans'.
The ship operated with the Atlantic Fleet in the post-war years and in 1950 she was taken out of service for modernization and conversion to an Anti-Submarine escort with Squid mountings on her quarterdeck and improved ASDIC (sonar). HAIDA was recommissioned at a ceremony held in Halifax on a cold and snowy day in March of 1952. At that time, HAIDA became the first Canadian ship commissioned under a Queen, thus became known as "Her Majesty's Canadian Ship". After trials and workups were completed, she sailed almost immediately for Korea. HAIDA did two tours in Korean waters between 1952-54, on both occasions circumnavigating the globe. After Korea, the ship served in the Canadian Atlantic Fleet working mostly with NATO forces until she was paid-off and taken out of service in 1963.
The ship was going to be sold for scrap but a group of Torontonians, recognizing that this was the most famous ship in the Canadian Navy, raised enough money in the private sector to buy the vessel and have her towed to Toronto. At the beginning of August 1965, she opened to tourists at the foot of York Street - a naval museum, maritime memorial and Sea Cadet training ship. After several years, in 2003, HMCS Haida was towed to Hamilton Harbor where she is today as a museum ship.
