I remember Richard Head. He was a firm commander that did a stand up job. Really knows how to control his seamen.

[@Taluien]

I heard he was a hard type who would give you a right buggering if you so much as aroused his ire.

[@Cdodders27]

I heard he was hard but fair. Tended to get himself into a tight spot

[@geoffmorton1506]

Richard, don’t call me Dick.

[@malusignatius]

Well, he is, right up to the point he's done his dash. Then he goes as limp as wet celery. When that happens before he's achieved his objective, well, it's pretty embarrassing for all concerned.

[@malusignatius]

Hell of a public speaker though. Ejaculates his points with confidence and force.

[@NorthForkFisherman]

[@AHSValor]

Those poor bastards in the Han. Just imagine putting along having a sneaking suspicion an enemy sub is nearby, then suddenly blowing up. That's flat out nightmare fuel

[@truckerallikatuk]

Probably better than being slowly irradiated... several of those Hans have really bad shielding on the reactors.

[@AHSValor]

@@truckerallikatuk Guess you could say the radiation was the last thing going through their minds

[@malusignatius]

Yeah, between the bad radiation shielding mentioned above, the Han's notoriously loud signature and it's poor sonar suite, the Han's close to the worst sub you'd want to be hunting a Collins in... At least the older Chinese diesel boats have half a hope in hell of hiding.

[@knightvisiongoggles7934]

I heard Richard is pretty rock solid under pressure. He won't go limp when it counts. Really knows how to thrust himself into battle hard and fast.

[@fimmerson]

[@thetiredtechnician5845]

The Mark 48 Mod 6 is the ADCAP. What you get to play with in the '84 campaign is the Mod 4 torpedo. The modmakers just called it by it's designation from BUORD, rather than what sailors call it.

[@ekscalybur]

Don't know much about Commander Richard Head, but we do know his mother has a serious sense of humor.

[@mwethereld]

Incidentally, i still have the 6 part 2 DVD set of the series Submariners which is onboard HMAS Rankin as she pwns the yanks at RIMPAC,,, even when they cheat and use active sonar.... They pipe "I come from the land down under" through the water and the audio from the hydrophone is glorious! I should really rip it and try and torrent it.

[@leutmatho9456]

The Americans navy still hate the Collins to this day

[@rask004]

Good mission! I've played through dotMod 0.4 Chinese Campaign several times. From experience, ASW patrols were often foxtrot, Han or victor subs, or 2-4 Jianghu and Luda type ships. Chinese commando insertions were common with Foxtrot transports and Kilo escorts. Resupply tenders and amphibious invasions saw DDG type escorts, sometimes with Chengdu DDs or Jangwei frigates. Late game can see Russian interference with Akulas, Sierras, Karas, and Kirovs. I only ever had one SSB mission per campaign at the end of each.

[@hmmjedi]

As to the Luda it was based on the old Neustrashimy class destroyer and the Jianghu is based on the old Soviet Riga class... good to see a diesel class run as well as people seem to avoid them...

[@lamwen03]

As Jingles puts it, 'surprise butt sex is the best kind". 😂😂😂

[@majorborngusfluunduch8694]

13:18 Magz, the Mod 6 IS an ADCAP. Its the second ADCAP version with the Mod 5 being the first.

This is almost as good as watching red october the first time, much apprciated

[@elijahsnow3119]

Well. I’ll be curious to see what comes of the new nuclear deal Australian submarines. I’m interested to see what they put together.

[@MagzGTV]

Astute or Virginia. We are not building our own design, we will be licence building either the UK Astute class or the US Virginia class, decision on which one is planned for Q1 2023 with the first couple of boats being built by the designs parent nation while we get our facilities built and in order to build the rest.

[@elijahsnow3119]

@@MagzGTV Interesting. Very interesting. The politics in that negotiation must be fascinating to watch. I’ll have to brush up on how those two stack up. Also the Tom Clancy version of this campaign featured the SeaWolf. Talk about overkill.

[@Twizted86]

Another fun fact for the D/E vs Nuclear boat argument is the Nuclear powered ones are more vulnerable in shallow/ littoral waters as they generate a higher infrared / heat signature due to the reactors pumping out cycled water, leaving a warmer trail in otherwise cold water.

[@michaelostryzniuk6716]

Well that was a pleasant and unexpected surprise. Looking forward to the rest of the series 👍😁

[@johanalitalo8331]

Nice seing you helm a diesel electric for a change. Wich diesel electric sub is your favorite?

[@MagzGTV]

Ignoring my default Australian Collins class bias? :P For modern boats I very much like the design of the Japanese Soryu class. My favorate of all time are of course the WW2 boats, The US Balao class in particular though the German type VII sits right along side.

[@markmcgivern529]

glad to have found you again, this time i hit the subscribe so i dont screw up again. missed your content. at least i have have a heap to catch up on.

[@videomaniac108]

Subs with no towed array have a conical shaped baffle area that extends 30⁰ on either side of the course line. Any object whose distance from the course line is less than half of the distance to the sub will be within the baffle area.

[@_R-R]

13:28 Everyone's on their phones now.

[@laserdan]

Could you increase the sound volume for future videos? I have to turn your channel up much louder than any other to be audible (not just this video, the previous campaign as well). I look forward to your double campaign!

[@chryssalidbait8765]

That wire broken torpedo on the Han engagement was probably going to end up nailing that poor trawler. Well, no need to add such things to the logbook. The mission was over after the Han sunk after all.

[@sfs2040]

Richard Head, heard he got transferred forcibly to subs from surface ships in a bit of a Richard Relocation by the Admiralty.

Magz, always like your _Cold Waters_ vids! S.China Sea is a challenge, and you've chosen a D-E boat to ramp the diff. Never seen the DOT Mod in action, so look forward to it. Does their definition of "Diesel Electric" include the various exotic AIP (Atmosphere Independent Propulsion) projects (like the Sterling Engine) that were begining to pop up?

[@darkhorse13golfgaming]

[@Karelwolfpup]

pretty sweet bushwhack on the Han, pity about the loose torp, I'd have been concerned the loose torp might have gone for that merchant. Also, no "Get down Mr Whale!" moment's just yet XD long may that continue ;)

If that's incorrect, anyone, please feel free to correct me. Anyway, I wonder if playing the Collins in the South China Sea is easier than a large US nuclear boat?

[@creatorsfreedom6734]

what are the Capellon's up too ?

[@davidf2911]

Having Played cold waters a bunch, albeit not with the Collins, how is 138.4db @ 5 knots quiet for any sub? Doesn’t the narwhal run at like 105-110db at that speed? Just curious to hear what others think.

[@mikedignum1868]

How do I download the latest dot mod version? I've failed on numerous occasions to update my basic game.

[@Moggster23]

Being a diesel electric, does the Collins class subs need to surface periodically to recharge it's batteries and replenish air?

[@MagzGTV]

Yes and no, Depends on the time frame you are asking about. The Collins class can operate submerged officially for about 30 days under normal operations without surfacing. The class has onboard oxygen generators that allow it to replenish its air supply for the crew using electrolysis in a manner similar to that of a nuclear submarine. For battery charging between dives, the Collins has a snorkel that can be deployed, under normal operations the batteries can be maintained at full charge for normal operations by running the engines under the snorkel for 2 minutes every 24 hours but as above if it wants to push the battery and is watching its power draw it can last out significantly longer.

[@Moggster23]

@@MagzGTV Being able to stay under water for 30 days and charging your batteries in just 2 hours is really impressive. I might have to take out the Collins class in Cold Waters.

[@mwethereld]

( Edit, Wrote this before i saw that it was HMAS Rankin,,, LOOOOL!) offfff, hope it's not Rankin with her crap breakdown-prone diesels and AVRs!

[@Pikilloification]

Why dont you fire in the direction of the target and then steer the torp away, to avoid wasting it if wire breaks? Happened a few times in the other campaign as well and I kept wondering...

[@MagzGTV]

Because should a wire break in such a situation the now unguided torp will spoil any complex attack, it will also draw a direct line between your location and the target meaning any and all counterfire will be heading directly towards your location once the torp is detected. This is especially important when you only have 400ft of water between surface and sand to manoeuvre in.
