[@sharkuc]

On the issue of pronunciation of Balao, personally I've always thought of it as bah-low, similar to allow, but having Jingles mention it in this vid got me wondering so a-googling I went. As for the fish it was named after, looking at various dictionary, wiki and online pronunciation sources that seems to fall squarely in the bah-low camp. As for the fleet sub, that seems to be split between bah-low (Drachinifel pronounces it that way for example) and bah-lay-oh, and I found an old thread from '07 on the subsim forums discussing this very topic with the camps being about evenly split between both pronunciations, with one guy claiming his WW2 vet dad and his friends pronounced it bah-lay-oh. My guess is that when the sub got introduced, the submariners didn't know how to pronounce the name of a small bait fish (and why would they tbh), started mispronouncing it and that mispronunciation became commonplace enough that these days all the armchair admirals are "Well ackshually"-ing over hearing the correct pronunciation. So, in short ladies and gentlemen, I present you with Dave the submarine.

[@DevilWarshipper]

Perfect slow -suckthemin set up, for that punchline. +1 internets my good man!

[@RPGTKingpin]

As a linguist can I just say I love the fact you used "Well ackshually" as a verb there? Gave me a right good chortle.

[@Talatharas]

I learned how to pronounce the balao class submarine from watching down periscope.. where thats the class given the main hero :D

[@1ifemare]

Bah-low is close enough. It's a nasaled diphthong in the original Portuguese (balão), so you should add an "m" at the end, so more like: bal-om[ega]. The "a" sound can go both ways: a "u" sound like in "up" (PT-PT), or an "ah" sound like "at" (if given a Brazilian intonation).

[@ZGryphon]

OK, but can we at least agree that its predecessor was never pronounced "gate-o"? Personally, I think the only reasonable thing to do is wait another year or so for the _Tench_ class. :)

[@mowtow90]

I've been running this build since the re-work. Its pretty much the only build that works on the Henry. That ship was gutted but WG and nothing else can help it. The problem with this build is that you are going to be the most hated man on the map. The enemy will hate you ,because you are burning them to death. But your own team as well because they will think that you are a useless camper. The problem with this build is that you must be 18km at least to the nearest thing that can oblitare you.

The Balao class sub: you can ignore the guys who are saying "ba-lay-o". You're saying it right too. The name is derived from a Portuguese word that means balloon by way of an Atlantic ocean fish. That's not to say that the word wasn't pronounced the other way since we're talking about American sailors who didn't have any idea of how it's supposed to be said, but it's officially "bah-lah-o".

You can hurt him but he's gonna turn around and really fuck up your day.

3:15 I'm not sure that's correct Jingles. The Des Moines class has a base reload rate of 5.5 sec and the Henri IV has a base reload of 13 sec. And even with skills I'm not sure you can get it below that. Are modifiers multiplicative or additive? Sure. roughly 4.5 sec off a 13 sec reload isn't anything to sneeze at, but I'm not sure you can get it below 5.5 base of the Des Moines.
