Grassroots Revolution - Germany 1920 Big Guns Episode 33 - Ultimate Admiral Dreadnoughts

[@Stealth17Gaming]

"I have set a plan in motion to create a grassroots revolution. The British admiralty and government at large, is comprised of a group of lords. These men have lost touch with the common British folk. Sure enough, some of their sons are officers in the Royal Navy or the army, but they’re never really at risk. They don’t serve on the frontlines. It’s the sons and fathers of the common man who go serve and die aboard the British warships. They are the ones who come home, eyes hollow from the things they have seen. They are the ones who go down with the ship, who burn in the fires that we set. The British leadership is reluctant to share exactly what the state of their navy is, in fear of revolution."

Chancellor's log now eh. No more piddly little admiral. Tearing their peace treaties into the fire delightfully is always a better option than simply turning them back. Three cheers for fire.

[@austinfutty5902]

I love the storytelling in this one. Could make a great little gut-wrenching story where a family finds out their loved one was killed not though someone coming to their door, not even though a sterilized letter informing them of the loss... No, they find out through a grainy, poorly printed poster. Propaganda as it may be, the hallmarks of the ship their friend loved so much were undeniable. In cold letters, all they get from the poster is three worlds. "HMS Swiftshore, Sunk"

[@ryanschmitz1897]

(From the v 19’s perspective) “we found a convoy, and radioed the position to any nearby allies. I couldn’t believe my ears when the Ariadne radioed back that they were already tracking it. We were about 30 clicks from the Ariadne, with about another 20 to the convoy. We sped up to flank, trying to get in on the action. We saw a explosion in the distance, from what looked like the Ariadne, so we radioed her. No response. We hoped that it was from a enemy ship and not her, but we had to keep steaming towards the convoy. When we got to the last known location of the convoy, it was nowhere to be found. Then the Ariadne sailed out from a fog bank, a massive gash in her starboard side. My entire crew was awestruck from the sight. The Ariadne radioed to us, “your a little late.” The Ariadne proceeded to pull up along side us, all the crew on deck shouting at each other, and then we escorted her back to her port.” (This was my first time writing one of these, if you guys could let me know what you think on how I can improve, that would be appreciated!)

Yay! Only 18 hours till next episode!🥳

[@memeologist21]

3:46 it may make little sense, but this was historically true to some degree. The Invincibles in the early 1900s had essentially no armor, and the subsequent class had even less. Both were essentially less armoured than some heavy cruisers and that ended costing the British a few ships and couple thousand sailors

[@xefino8160]

Making a Battleship with the design of the Turingia class might be quite fun ^^

[@avi8aviate]

I tried that. Pitch and roll were horrendous, but such a ship makes for a great tank.

[@AustinBlack28]

man i love the way you roleplay stealth

[@Stealth17Gaming]

Thanks!

[@aceclub3555]

Stealth you continue to amaze me with how horrible you are at dodging torps. This series is absolutely fantastic and haven't missed a single episode so far. Your commentary is fantastic as always.

[@southern_populist3406]

5:30 it could be that the angle pushed it out towards the casemates instead of directly down the bottom of the ship. I do agree though it should have done more damage

[@firewolf2079]

Can correct me if I'm wrong. But I think the overpen refers to the compartment it hit. Seeing as there was three compartments from deck to keel, it overpenned the top but not necessarily the other 2 or more depending on angle. That's just my 2 cents tho

[@southern_populist3406]

@@firewolf2079 iirc overpen is when a shell enters and travels completely through back into the sea without detonating.

[@firewolf2079]

I stand corrected then.

[@maxtyler8993]

Chancellor's log? Seems to have been a coup somewhere

[@dwaynejohnson6644]

i love these little speeches at the start it adds to the video

[@minefoxc4015]

An overpen through the fore might mean that the shell smashed through the armour while entering, went through the ship, and got stuck into the steel attempting to exit the other side into its bottom

[@kingswagii1607]

Idea for your upcoming Austro-Hungarian campaign. I know you've said you wouldn't build BBs or BCs, but what about large cruisers? They'd be based off a BC hull (because the game has no separate classification for them) but they have a high rate of fire and can be vary versatile ships. It's a ship class you haven't really made before, and it would be fun to see what you could pull off with them.

[@Lankygit01]

British Admiral: How did you survive??? HMS Lancaster: They ran out of ammunition sir.....

[@danielross7983]

24:20 Well I wasn't going to comment, but it is a good example of battle plans not surviving contact with the enemy. I'm doing a British 1910 campaign thanks to this series... now 1923 and I have the G3 battleship hull and mark III 15"... desperately researching for radar now... Looks like the brits are still only on Dreadnought V hulls in your campaign. If they send a G3 out, then you're finally going to have a little bit of a challenge, may be.

[@Jules_Diplopia]

Chancellor eh? Not Kaiser? Maybe that is the next step. Captain of the Ariadne, returned to port this time, fuming, furious. "Damn British! Flinging torpedoes at me." It would take a few weeks to patch his ship this time around. And he had the sad job of informing the families of those brave crewmen who had fallen.

yeah. german chancellors usually stay for about 16 years. enough time to cripple some of the worlds navies, isn't it?

Stealth. I am a longtime fan and follower and this is an awesome series and gameplay. Would you consider having BIG torpedoes on tiny boats part of the Big gun doctrine? This is only a suggestion but having nimble fast torpedo boats with the most devastating lightning fast torpedos would be such a great complement to your fleet!

What confuses me about the funnel physics in the game is wouldn't opening up more holes just allow more escape for the exhaust? That's what's always confused me

[@SohnFreyjas]

(40:53) This game still needs a lot of work. Absolutely. There is some progress concerning the campaign, but I still do not understand the 1-month-is-a-round-system. Would be more interesting to send out fleets in realtime on a hour-basis or something like that. Because then there could be an interest in saving ammo/fuel. The need for resupply would improve the strategical level. You would have to be careful not to engage in several battles in a row with the same ships. Another addition would be dockyards in different sizes. Let's say you have 10 places for destroyers/small cruisers and 3 for capital ships. So you can only build 3 battleships at the same time. Or 13 destroyers with 3 being completed much earlier. An easy to implement idea. The developers just don't see it. I think that changing the size of the barrels (15,4") and the length (+20 %) is not realistic. They had fix calibres, so changing it "on-the-fly" while constructing a new ship-class, that's not so easy. When you have 28 cm and 38 cm guns, you cannot just say, let's use the 28 cm gun and make it 30 cm. Krupp or Rheinmetall first have to invent plans to build it for real. That needs much time. However, there are still so many bugs left. I watch those videos for more than a year now. Some mistakes are still present: torpedoes hit from every angle, ships with heavy list can fire in both directions, battleships sometimes have 200m tourning circle, a peace treaty is in most cases broken in the same month, so diplomacy is a little bit of a joke. They try to impress with lots of new features, although the old ones aren't even correct.

From my experience its not so much harder issues as it is the game itself just struggles at some point. I have a 5900x & a 3080 and theyre never really taxed too badly even when the game itself is having a mini meltdown

No, the game itself is running on a single core it seems. You can have a multicore monster but if the game doesn't use them then upgrades aren't necessary.

Oh, and the actual TOPIC of it was... The South Sea Bubble, a real historical event. Look into it however you want. Or don't. Cause you don't have to. Its a thing that happened is all. I thought it might be fun to integrate into -an admiral's- a chancelor's log, but whatever.

I have no idea what comment you are talking about. I didn't delete your comment.

[@SephirothRyu]

@@Stealth17Gaming Probably some bot algorithm then. They REALLY hate people talking about other channels for some reason, especially if you give a link. But yeah, I was basically saying that it would be awesome if your agents (storywise) were to initiate a second South Sea Bubble equivalent. Edit: As a means of CRUSHING THEIR RULE FOR GOOD. The one thing that may have saved the British Monarchy the first time is that a very dangerous(ly knowledgable person) and a very dangerous ledger ended up being... never extradited to Britain after the affair. The Monarchy and government of Britain may have fallen had either of them ended up going home. Which ended up in a very interesting pair of letters between clammoring to satisfy the normal people, and also wanting to not destroy the government. The individual and the ledger in question both went abroad (flight risks weren't a thing then), and Britain basically sent two letters to the people holding him. One which demanded his return publically, and another which (privately) basically gave the continental power who had that individual and his ledger in prison an effective blank check so long as the individual NEVER RETURNED TO BRITAIN. Since that would destroy the British government, basically due to the circumstances at the time. Yeah, the South Sea Bubble is pretty awesome in that way, especially the aftermath. It really is one of those times that history really does deserve a Benny Hill theme or something similar.

[@Stealth17Gaming]

@@SephirothRyu I really don't understand the bots. A spam bot is still able to post a spam link for weeks, despite me reporting it every time. Yet, when a subscriber like yourself wants to post a link to another channel, so keeping the viewer on KZbin, that is removed? It makes no sense to me.

The cl is finishing her desert before she as her supper

Campaign idea: The Jutland Doctrine. This Jutland was far more devastating than the real one. British battlecruisers blew up. Navy respose? «There seems to be something wrong with our bloody ships». Indeed there was. «Not anymore», said the mothers. The year is 1920. British people is tired of 1000+ boys blowing up in one single ship. A new political movement gets influence and forbids the construction of any ships with a lot of young boys in it. Effectively, this means that Royal Navy is not allowed to built any capital ships (BB and BC). The Royal Navy, of course, opposes to this new doctrine, but their prestige is very low and lack the neccesary influence to get rid of the law. Your task as admiral is to built a navy with no capital ships and keep Britain safe. Hard work. But you are confident that if you reach a Naval Prestige of (Stealth17 to decide, but high number) people will soft their minds about building some ships full of young boys.

[@МартинЛазаров-я4э]

Safe Ariadneeee!!! plz

[@sergiomoralesanzaldo637]

The reason why the ship doesn’t flood when you overpen is because their is something called air and the pressure it exerts on the water below, you can do a simple experiment you use a glass and a little container full of water, you put the glass upside down, this will create a pocket of air, and this is the same as to why a ship won’t flood if it has a hole in the bottom of the hull, while their is air and the air doesn’t escape the inside of the ship it won’t flood
