British ships used all their gunpowder on their ships so their tanks has to shoot solid shot

[@ToXicKush420]

Well kinda but the real reason Britain used solid shot was because it was considered the most effective anti-tank ammunition at the time, offering superior penetration against enemy armor

[@ToXicKush420]

If anything you should blame gaijin because they nerfed the hell out ap. aphe shouldn't be nearly as good as it is in the game in irl it rarely ever detonated especially when shipped overseas which was another reason why Britain never used the aphe in there tanks

I’ll try to very nicely ask the British navy for some TNT #BritainSuffers

[@DOLLARplays]

Probably that's the reason. They didn't have anymore left😂

[@cheesuschrist5017]

I’ve been on the USS North Carolina before, inside her barbettes. There’s definitely a floor between the main ammunition stowage and the barbettes but there are dozens of 16-inch shells stacked in the barbettes for easy loading. Explosion of that size could easily travel down the ammo elevator and maybe through the floor and to the ammo down below.

[@Boromas_1]

You see, Shell rooms should not be detonting. The explosives of the shells are encased it solid steel and is stable enough to not sustain a chain reaction of individual shells detonting. The only way a shellroom should detonate is to let the whole room of shells cook in fire for a prolonged period of time.

[@DOLLARplays]

​@@Boromas_1i heard that somewhere as well. The shells are not that explosive irl, so shell rooms should not detonate easily. Fire causing detonate would make mote sense.

[@Boromas_1]

​​@@DOLLARplays Probably in the forums :) Also smin in the forums stated they will look into this issue few months ago. Hopefully they fix it soon otherwise future fast battleships will suffer as their shellrooms are on or above waterline. (Richelieu, Iowa, Yamato etc)

[@MattSmith-us3ru]

I finally went back and unlocked the Jagdtiger yesterday and that got me thinking, it's been a few years since you've made a video on it. Maybe we could have a 128mm day with the Jag and Sturer Emil?

[@DOLLARplays]

I need to comeback to it. Not sure when, but I definitely gonna do another video at some point

[@TOS-KSBP]

The problem of bri'ish 15" is big fuse delay. In reality it was good, but in WT shells don't lose their speed when they hit target, so often these shells just detonate outside the compartment

[@abecoleman3250]

[@cheetahda1o763]

Oh so that’s where all the HE filler went for British ground

[@DanielMartinez-jg4qn]

I know this is a joke, but the real reason is bc British made experiments and found out that solid shot did almost the same damage as aphe but the last one didn’t always fuse, so it was not the best option to spend More money on something that didn’t always work, the more you know lol

[@darwinism8181]

I want to like WT Naval more than I do, but every time I play it and everyone is within firing range of everyone from the start I just die a little inside. It feels like it's not about anything but aiming and clicking.

[@SzalonyKot]

The maps would have to be massive in comparison to what we have already and the matches would take too long, also, as much of a aim and click it is, at least you're always on level ground with your enemies and your chances are just as high to win as theirs, play some more, use tactics, learn the ships and their weakspots, LEARN YOUR WEAKSPOTS so you can protect them and stay alive longer - Good Luck 😉

[@AnakinSkyobiliviator]

Sometimes it gets a little fun when you do a supreme flank and end up near their spawn in the Encounter mode. I did that a few times and was fun to exchange banter with the player who was surprised to see me there. But all the fun then drains away when you can't do anything to them because of the god-awful compression.

[@DOLLARplays]

That's why you play Naval EC 😉 I feel like faster engagement time is better for random battles, but they should put at least some island so we won't get spawn to spawn deadmatch like on that African map.

[@ThaiLitzki]

The trick is to spawn in a little later. So all the cheating bot pkayers and chinese bot-accounts can autostart fire against the first target. Massive boost in survival. And try to melt in. :)

The major weakness of Barham is that most of her crew is placed outside of armored compartment leading to severe crew loss. Otherwise her magazine is excellently protected.

[@DOLLARplays]

[@RevyTempest6]

[@techsbyglebbagrov7470]

It’s always a good day when dollar plays naval

[@Armoredcompany]

So, the thing with British Capital ships is yeah they had a metric shit-ton of them...but a lot of them were all the same class. Once you have a QE 2, a Rodney, a KG V, not much sense in adding the other 47 ships of those classes. Then again, not having Warspite is an actual war crime. Yes, US battleships all had blast protection between the turret, barbette, and magazines. Gaijin is just REALLY detailed...except for when it comes to damage models. Even if ALL the ammo in the barbette exploded, the most it would do is unseat the turret above it and kill everyone in the turret/barbette. Ship would otherwise be ok after a LONG stay in a dry-dock.

[@Gustav_Kuriga]

I highly doubt it.

[@Armoredcompany]

@Gustav_Kuriga which part? There are two completely separate subject involved here...

[@Ezzyazeze]

Indeed; look at the Iowa turret explosion - everyone in the turret was killed, however the rest of the ship and crew survived.

[@Armoredcompany]

@@Ezzyazeze Right? Almost like they were designed that way for a reason or something. Also, for what its worth, turret crew actually survived that. It wasn't even a shell exploding, it was too many powder charges rammed into the breech of one gun (can't remember which) but some turret crew survived the detonation of the gun.

[@DOLLARplays]

Well still, British had decent amount of different classes. Not counting unfinished ones like Lion class they could get. In game we should get like 1-2 vehicles per class in the tech tree. Like for example Queen Elizabeth in original configuration, and in late ww2 or post ww2 configuration. I knew there has to be some barrettes blast protection

[@Kuurodrattak-h4t]

The longest naval shot in world War 2 was made by warspite at 16 km and in the game the rangefinder don't work properly

[@fridaycaliforniaa236]

Russian laws of physics, and Russian devs being nothing else than shaken babies...

[@tangohotel2599]

Warspite hit Cesare at roughly 24km, not 16km. 16km is pretty much standard engagement range. For example HMS Hood was sunk at approximately 16.5km range, during a turn to put more distance between it and Bismarck

[@h.m.s.belfast4047]

And less than a month later Scharnhorst would score a hit at the, arguably, a tad further distance (~500 yards) with carrier Glorious

[@tangohotel2599]

@@h.m.s.belfast4047 problem with Scharnys hit is that the range is unconfirmed. Warspites hit is a confirmed ranging, so she holds more authority over the record. Scharnhorsts hit is a rough estimation from 23.7km-24.2km, simply too much lead way to give her the title (you can thank inaccurate Germany range finders for it)

[@h.m.s.belfast4047]

@@tangohotel2599 Taken from the longest naval hit entry on navweap: 'Some data point from the article of Loss of Glorious by captain Vernon W. Howlan: • Scharnhorst was 28,600 yds. distant at 1632 when she opened fire • Her third salvo hit Glorious at 1638. • Scharnhorst was 26,465 yds. distant or slightly less from the Glorious between 1636 and 1638. Notes on above data points: 1 and 2 above agrees with the German after action report summary that I have a translation of, and what started this whole quest of mine. The conversion from hectometers to yards appears to have been poorly done in the table given in the article. It appears that the author converted from hectometer (what the Germans used in their reports) to yards, and then back to hectometers to create the table. I can rationalize the table in no other way (these errors also appear in the print version, of which I have a copy). This conversion and reconversion process appears to have led to errors and typos. For instance, at 1641, the range in the table is given as 26,137 yds. and 230 hectometers. Actually, the correct conversion from yards would be 239 hectometers. For this essay, I have made an assumption that the yard values in this table are the correct values, as this is the unit of measurement that the author should have been most familiar with - he is, after all, Canadian. However, it is possible that, in this one instance, the hectometer distance given in the table is correct. If so, then the distance at 1639 would have been 240 hectometers, or about 26,260 yds. and not 26,465 yards. I do not believe that this materially affects the end result, but I'll accept that it may be a flaw in my reasoning. Some analysis of the above data points: In the three minute period between 1636 and 1639, the distance appears to have remained constant at 26,465 yds., or it may have decreased somewhat to 26,260 yds. For Scharnhorst to have hit Glorious at 1638, she must have fired no later than 1637 (allowing for a maximum flight/spot/reload time of 90 seconds and assuming that the times are rounded off to the nearest minute). At 1637, assuming a constant closing rate, Scharnhorst would have been at about 26,400 yds. So, I think that somewhere between 26,400 to 26,465 yds. is the correct distance, whatever the errors in the table may be. Bottom line: It appears that the Scharnhorst hit the Glorious at about 26,465 yds. or slightly less. Given the level of uncertainty in the accuracy of the rangefinders used in the early war period, this is essentially the same distance reported for the Warspite striking the Guilio Cesare, 26,000 yds. So, as far as I am concerned, there is really a tie between HMS Warspite and KM Scharnhorst as to who made the longest gunfire hit on a moving target And world Guinness record also agreed on the two are tied. On an unrelated note, if you go to battleship cove to USS Massachusetts museum, curator over there will tell you another entry from Mammies herself, 25km hit on destroyer Milan lol

[@SerbianLifter997]

Honest opinion; I think the version without in-game audio was good. There was less noise pollution and the pure raw editing audio made it better. Plus the reverb and echo added with the synth music made it feel really cinematic.

[@DOLLARplays]

Well, a battleship video has to have battleship gun sound

[@MrSnow0808]

I dunno if you know this, but when you are sinking and on fire. Try and stop your ship from moving to slow or completely stop the sinking while trying to extinguish, then pump that water. That works a lot of the times for me!

Hi Dollar, first of all, thanks for your videos, they are amazing. I started to play WT naval battles and I chose Great Britain, because I have many planes and almost every tank there.

Does it worth for it? Do you play with this ship?

[@sebastianyoung4188]

To be honest the only thing that top tier naval needs is a "turret tossing" mechanic - it would mean that because of the blast doors on the american ships, they would lose the turret from the ship and gain a weakspot, but they would survive despite losing it (though with a lot less crew)
