Naval Action: Big Ship PVP fight (Ft. Victory&Santisima Trinidad)

We've already seen the Victory shooting some bots, but now we'll see it fighting players. And it's no longer the biggest fish in the pond either, as in this video you'll get to see two Santisimas in action for the very first time! (tho in other players' hands. Grumble grumble ;))

1st rate - most powerful ship, usually 100+ guns carried in three decks. Powerful but uncommon as they were expensive to crew and hard to handle. The Victory and Santisma were both 1st rates. 2nd rate - quite rare, only usually seen in Royal Navy. Three decker that lacks the power and presence of a first rate but is just as unwieldy. Usually only used as an admirals flagship in far off colonies. 3rd rate - Two decker. Most common warship in all European navies. Best know example is the '74s', named after the 74 guns they carried and formed the bulk of Britain's, France's and Spain's navies. 4th rate - 1 or 2 decks. Originally older ships with not enough firepower to be called a third rate, but in later years they started cutting a deck off 3rd rates and making them extremely powerful super-frigates instead, these new 4th rates, although technically frigates, were versatile enough to be powerful enough to sail in the line of battle AND be used independently. If you ever watched the series 'Hornblower', the 'Indefatigble' was a cut down 4th rate. The famed American ship Constitution was technically a fifth rate, but only because the Americans arranged thier guns differently to Europeans - the Constitution was in terms of firepower and protection easily the equivalent of a forth rate. Ship of the line of battle, Lineship, or later on Battle-ship - a ship that could be used in the standard battle tactics of the day. Only ships 4th rate or better were permitted to sail in the line. Galleon - A heavily armed merchant ship of the era. In the early days, there were few purpose built warships so many navies relied on pressing galleons into service. Man o war - In the high era of sail, meant the same as ship of the line of battle, however man o war was used earlier as well to refer to any three masted cannon armed ship. Probably the best way to describe the term would be to say it is the equivalent of the term 'capital ship' today - it does not refer to any particular ship, just to the most powerful ships afloat at the time. 5th rate - 30/40 gun frigate, single deck. 6th rate - 20-30 gun frigate, single deck. Line-ships were 1st to 4th rates, frigates were 5th and 6th rates, anything else was 'unrated'.

[@rafaelacielo8472]

More people need to see this

[@troutwarrior6735]

Thanks! Gonna screenshot this.

[@thedictationofallah]

Gallleons stopped being a ship since 1650

[@WindmillStalker]

20:45 He redecorated your captain's cabin, that's for sure.

[@ramjb]

22:22 he also got his bedroom rearranged ;)

[@WindmillStalker]

ramjb Yeah you definitely got revenge. Turned his cabin into an outdoor patio.

[@ramjb]

WindmillStalker Actually that rake turned his ship into an subaquatic recreation park for sealife ;).

[@WindmillStalker]

ramjb Oh, like how they sink off ships to provide artificial reefs? It's nice to see you involved in that business. Very green. +1

[@MrSquishedsquashed]

ramjb How do you counter a move like the one at 20:45. I mean it becomes apparent that they are going for a rake and that you are going to end up with your unloaded side facing him but there doesn't seem to be anything you can do about it.

[@BrorealeK]

The amount of raw power whenever you fire off a full broadside of double shot is just about the coolest thing I've ever seen in a game. Oh, and the thunder-like echoes like 2-3 seconds after somebody shoots is cool too. I definitely want to play some Naval action now.

[@Cookiereagiert]

***** ist das spiel fertig oder noch Beta? wo kann man es kaufen??

[@Ulaid]

Konsolero - Old School Games Es ist eine alpha test ;)

[@Bald_Zeus]

search on KZbin for: HMS Götheborg (Gotheborg should work if you don't have Ö) London and pick the video where the Götheborg and a british modern warship does gun salute to each other :D It's epic

[@TrampekTheShoe]

I love that barely audible ''ear ring'' every time you fire off a full volley from one of your sides. Really makes you understand just *what* the hell you unleashed on the poor sucker on the recieving end.

[@Smorfty]

Trampek TheShoe I've heard guns like these being shot and it doesn't make your ears ring.

[@wouterkos1231]

Smorfty i think you mean that you have heard cannons like these being fired ;) but i doubt that you have heard a whole battery of them like this

[@SteveCrowe37]

God damn this game is spectacular!!!! FINALLY! A BRILLIANT NAVAL GAME! Thank for posting this raw footage, really got caught up in it haha

[@TheMarineGamerIGGHQ]

oh hey steven good to see you here :D

[@rainbowwhitey9274]

***** May I ask you something? Was that a pun when you said, "but right now it's just too shallow." ?

[@XJDesigns1]

+gdbalck I wish I could.

[@TheMarineGamerIGGHQ]

cd257 either this month or next :P

[@XJDesigns1]

TheMarineGamer IGGHQ Are you serious? I cannot wait longer! The tease is real!

[@dappadan22]

watching these videos just brings to mind the sheer bravery and guts that the sailors who served on warships like these showed, i mean facing off against an enemy broadside and delivering your own must have been pretty devastating in reality not to mention some of the really nasty wounds caused by flying metal,chain and splinters. but hell yeah the Victory is certainly a sight to behold, what a way to project power on the high seas ;p

[@alarik95]

I fell asleep watching this. This game has the most soothing sounds

[@ramjb]

Robert Downey Jr. Uhhh thanks? I guess?. Dunno the idea of my videos making someone fall asleep is not that amusing...hehehehe :D

[@alarik95]

ramjb I'm a fighter pilot type guy, the fact that I watched your half of your video before succumbing to the sounds is amazing on your behalf

[@erogonemc]

ramjb zzzzzzzz.....huh? was I sleeping, lol ;) It's Not you ramjb, it's just the sounds in this game are very similar to "nautical asmr" , with a somewhat persistant bosun pipe! :D

[@51north56]

After watching the first Naval Action video from Sidestrafe I soon hopped to your channel and after watching a bunch of your videos ordered the game. Having tons of fun so far with trying to put your lessons to practice in the light ships. Not always as easy in a 1v1 but had a few matches with 15 to 20 lights in pvp and that was super. Thanks for putting the time in creating videos and I am looking forward to more!

[@QuinchGaming]

So much respect for the skill needed to play this game, wonderful and thrilling to watch but I know this old mans limitations.

[@WindmillStalker]

Pretty much all of it is thinky skills, no twitch reaction time nonsense. Very good game for old people, yes? :D

[@ramjb]

if Bis can play it anyone can XD

[@QuinchGaming]

Haha! now now Ram...Biz and you can fly in Sim in War Thunder or IL-2 ... I can't! Skills where skills are due

[@TheMarineGamerIGGHQ]

WindmillStalker Im 15 and im fascinated by the age of sail would it sound crazy if I told you I played the New Horizons Mod like RamJB has since a couple of years ago? :D

[@JD96893]

i just play the game, have fun and know when i've had my ass handed to me(this is true of any online game) pretend your the little ship that could. . . until you can't, and then continue more lol

[@ZenithRadProductions]

This is one of the most interesting games I've seen in a long time; just finished all of your Naval Action videos, Ram! Can't wait to pick this alpha up myself, hopefully soon!

[@balltoball1]

a true warrior of the 20 minute market

[@ZenithRadProductions]

Jesse Allen Excuse me?

[@balltoball1]

ALL his naval action videos, they are 12-30 minutes, I was commenting that watching them all is impressive, and that t takes some dedication

[@ZenithRadProductions]

15 videos over 4 weeks...yea, dedication you would call. :P

[@deltabravo1371]

Awesome video Ram! Some of those point blank, double shot broadsides were brutal.

[@Technogismo69]

Can't wait to get our new computer. Thanks for the unbelievably great display of naval combat of old. You guys are great.

[@dirkverbeek7573]

Really great vid! Fights like these are the best. Even if the biggest you can sail is a Snow, like I can in a 16!!!man battle I was in tonight. Largest I've been in so far. It's always more fun to join the "normal" pvp then the one for smaller ships & it gives way more eyecandy. Great sailing & well deserved Victory.(no pun intended :p) Fair winds & blue skies!

[@dirkverbeek7573]

Edit... And have a great Christmas!!!!!

[@philk9227]

Absolute masterclass! A couple of dicey moments there but some superb tactics! Well played!

[@georkemp]

Blue messages on a blue water background needs some work I think. Great win I hope you still have both arms and eyes. :) Looking forward to your analysis and your future battles on the high sea.

[@mazack00]

I couldn't stop watching D:

[@firesyde424]

I would say that match fits the definition of epic, especially compared to the smaller ship videos. Well done!

[@SkyForceOne2]

I could rewatch these big battles several times tbh :D

[@wakamoly2859]

The most epic battle i have seen and also the hms victory you sank was epic it was worth watching over and over again.

[@markforsling6480]

Looks like the game of my dreams is finally being made! REALISTIC multiplayer battles in the age of sail! Way to many of them are too arcadey or rely too much on random number generators. I'm going to quite enjoy seeing long drawn out battles that don't involve gank squads using overpowered gear and magic combat powers. I wonder if shallows and ship size will be a factor, would be cool sailing a small sloop and being able to evade and loose a pursuing frigate in the shallows. Or trick a less experienced foe into running his ship aground and then pelt him mercilessly with unrelenting fire.

[@konatelassina5301]

I WILL be getting into this game. I have about 7 age of sail miniature games; its my favorite genre. But, just getting good at War Thunder, finally. So, I'm enjoying that with the little time I have, for the time being.

[@davewalsh4060]

Anyone else ever play the old Avalon Hill game "Wooden Ships and Iron Men? I've been waiting for this game forever.

[@Vlka_Fenryka]

Amazing, so calm and sedate until the ships got to within knife fighting range. Then is was unleash hell, thank you for sharing.

[@kumisz2]

I miss your Naval Action videos, Ram :(

[@ramjb]

kumisz had a Hard drive crash couple weeks ago, took almost one week to fix, doing some stuff now (you'll soon see in the videos I'll upload), but Naval Action videos will come for sure too :).

[@labianriquelme2868]

ramjb hey, why i can not buy the game? :D

[@LiquidSnake1988]

+ramjb can this game be moded? and put zheng hes treasure ship?

[@TheLordhorationelson]

u should put classical music under the gameplay like Vivaldi the three seasons and then season Winter. Its perfect for these naval battles i also always use it too draw big naval battles and paint them. Great video keep up the good work .

[@anglosaxon5874]

I think your side need to go on the practice range.....and fire more instead of looking around! lol Well played...you were outnumbered.....but I'd use both sides more often. It's funny how the smaller ships seem to 'get in the way' on manoeuvring. Like the game though!

[@MrBossMan]

had a mast shot in there as well had not seen that happen yet very cool

[@Tupinamba77]

Awesome! hooked on the game and subbed. Thanks for loading it up!

[@williambach8639]

I have done my best in watching all of the available naval action videos and Ramjb, you are the best! When will you produce a new video? And can I be on your team? My member name is Maxer der Grosse.

[@mhowie68]

great game. loved hearing just the sound of the game..

[@CodyProxyify]

I like how it begins with a ranged battle and suddenly all hell breaks lose close up. A pity i discovered this game only yesterday, can't purchase it anymore... hope it'll be soon on Steam.

[@thebawdybadger7435]

its just like one cannon...another one and then it hits.... all are shooting... love that scne

[@destroier920]

Nice sail control / maneuvering there Ram. A skillfull death dance of a whale. XD

[@Foksuh]

Finally we're seeing some proper ships! :D

[@EmperorSkel]

28:33 and again, the wee thing stood no chance! Good lord that looks menacing though

[@Kapitaen_Flauschbart]

What a great battle!! Absolutely spectacular! :-D

[@xxthedarkwolfxx3163]

I want this game so badly now!

[@sircalculus1448]

Was I the only one that laughed at the return fire from the Victory when they shared a full broadside to each others stern XD ?

[@antred11]

Man, it must have sucked to be a sailor on one of those ships. Can you imagine cramming 1,000 people into such a small hull?

[@cookiejarvis3856]

antred11 Can you imagine getting hit by a 64 pounder caronade? your dead mate

[@gilmer3718]

+antred11 What if you were on the Mary Rose. Built top heavy capsized and sunk with with all hands.

[@MettheSlayer]

Looks pretty good for an alpha. And the full broadside is just OHhhhhhh!

[@charonmoon1]

This is a excellent game, very immersive. Excellent vídeo. there are some boarding mechanics?

[@WickedMuis]

I *NOW* know what I wanna have for my birthday! :D

[@Crosshair1990]

Epic fight! What could happen if the ship's magazine was hit (in game, I know full well what used to happen IRL)?

[@ChiliMaster]

Some great moments in this for sure!

[@AshesFall81]

Heya, where did the clips and comments vid go? Cant seem to find it :) I really love the look of this game.

[@davewalsh3885]

This game is spectacular. Reminds me so much of the old Avalon Hill Board game, Wooden Ships, and Iron Men, except without all of the bookkeeping. Any idea when we might start to see any of the open world modules? Look for me as dwalsh10 in game, but so far I've just made it to Brig level.

[@lptomtom]

That was amazing, well played!

[@FoxMjHoward]

Hey ramjb, nice to have play with you yesterday :), Btw how do you do to go straight without adjusting your right and left evry 3 sec?

[@DougieOh]

When you took the Santissima's tail and the ship just shuddered under the impact. Wow.

[@aereszhou7292]

Why did you stop making these videos, they were so good

[@ecophreak1]

This game is my christmas present for myself :D Can't wait to give it a try, any advice for beginners?

[@boboeller5032]

Damn, I can't wait to play this...

[@Hispano999]

Santísima Trinidad is a spanish ship...

[@Kuza01]

The Spanish are not in the game. (At least I don't think they are)

[@Hispano999]

Golden Age of Piracy This dont have sense =(

[@literap4748]

+Golden Age of Piracy Still it was a ship from the spanish but they fought together with france in the battle of trafalgar

[@acusticamenteconvusional9936]

+Golden Age of Piracy How can this be possible if half Caribbean was spanish

[@Kuza01]

Acusticamente Convusional I don't know, they are mainly focusing on the French and the British.

[@hellenictech]

Very good work!

[@matthewquigley240]

What a beautiful Video

[@Aquadoc1962]

That was a good one!

[@Festias]

Well, this game looks pretty goddamn cool.

[@AllaMortify]

I've noticed in most of the Naval Action vids I've seen no-one seems to use chain shot to tear up sails and rigging to potentially hamper a vessel's speed and manoeuvrability and that attacking a ships stern doesn't seem to slow a ship down either. Does the damage done to the ships actually have an effect in how they handle/perform or is just a case of cosmetic damage until it finally sinks?

[@ramjb]

Sail damage has an impact, and chain is indeed used (so much that it's recently had it's max range reduced to balance it's usefulness). The reason you see not a lot of chain usage by my part is because I usually put videos of myself in pretty big ships in pretty big battles. Big ships using chain in big battles is a massive waste of hull damage potential. Small ships in that kind of battle however can do pretty influential damage with it's lighter guns (Which can't penetrate thick hulls unless very close to the enemy) .

[@cerberusdest]

damn this looks incredible

[@Senegal259]

At 34:12 the French ship stern raked you and should have turned your gun decks into a charnel house. Amazed you had the ability to carry on.

[@ramjb]

at 34:12 the video ends? O.o

[@ravenwing199]

ramjb I think he meant earlier

[@Spartakus112112]

ramjb i think he meant 20:40

[@ramjb]

Spartakus112112 20:40 is a poor raking attempt. He fires too early, most of his early shots either miss or hit my starboard armor. I didn't even get my rear armor totally wiped out (and with a proper rake from a 1st rate, it just vanishes). Sure, my rear was hit and I got hurt, but could've been much, much worse. Well I guess it's easy to see it could've been much much worse, as only a couple minutes later I deliver a properly executed rake on him, and you can compare the results ;)

[@LPKarpik]

What was your pc setup in this video? I don't know if i can run this game at stable 30, but i really want to buy it :)

[@Rextrent]

Beautiful game. Would like to have it. Wooden Ships and Iron Men!

[@clevemcvanejr4920]

What is it with that damn whistle? Who blows a whistle in combat every few seconds?

[@gabriel82991]

It's beautiful... I felt like I was in the 18th century

[@JacobReid]

Somewhere around 29 or so minutes why didn't your ram and capsize the small ship? You lined up for a broadside and didn't even sink it

[@Vampirewolfking]

+J Reid Because Ships of the Line never fires on a smaller ship unless the smaller ship fires first. It would be extremely dishonourable

[@MrLucien777]

I am guessing there will be no marines when this game comes out?

[@rolandcorreia7983]

Wonderful game 🎮. I have never played this game. Is this game for android phones and can I play this game offline?

[@vacuumssuck26]

Does the chain shot work properly in the alpha? I've not seen it used in any videos yet and i'm wondering why

[@cell32005]

This is currently on sale and as a big fan of the age of sail I'd really like to try it ... But I've seen more ships sunk than masts or spars broken in this battle. Is that an alpha thing?

[@operator9858]

how did that lil thing survive at the 25 min mark?

[@jefftheriault7260]

actually, you reduce sail as battle becomes immanent. Let me guess, the spanish ship fires just as fast? Or do they at least take the major reason for the success of the royal navy into account?

[@Dazhimself]

Imagine been in this situation for real!

[@The1wsx10]

it would be really nice to see physx on the sales not just the flags.. i guess this is a temporary model for now

[@ricardokalecjunior]

please inform me the name of the song, which is at the end of this video.

[@qualequaleson9611]

Seems to me that the area in which you have the most to gain is broadside precision. You have a tendency to just fire off all cannons despite the fact that your last aim shot went over and so most of your broadside goes the same way. Am I on to something here or am I missing something?

[@ramjb]

Sometimes you just need to turn and the turn will put the target out of the arcs of fire so better to take the shot and try your luck than not shooting at all. Other times you can't get enough elevation due to ship heel and you try to shoot when the ship rightens up a slight bit because of a wave or a slight course change that rights your ship a little bit. Some shots might feel forced and thrown because of lack of patience, but I almost always have a reason to take the shot even while I don't have the range perfectly narrowed down.

[@ramjb]

Also slightly long range shots that fall past the target still means a heck of a lot of heavy balls zooming just avobe decks. Get some of those balls in a mast and magic happens. Specially the 42s and 32s (mid and lower decks) are splendid demasters.

[@qualequaleson9611]

ramjb Alright thnx for that. I guess it's my gut telling me not to fire at all if I can't get value, but then again if there's no ammo count it's better to fire one time too many than one time too few. Also I'm wondering what you think of the repair system. Seems a little odd to me that they've gone with the repair count solution where the repairs almost become like cards you can play. Would it be more realistic to just fit repair into the resource/manpower allocation system?

[@Arkus-Duntov]

Makes me wonder if they will add USS Independence. That would be really cool.

[@karatfur]

Santísima trinidad... In the band of the british? Were are the spaniards?

[@thomaspater8874]

Witte de With in this video, the dutch admiral survives the longest! :D

[@joonker9607]

Such a wonderful game, but my potatoe cant run it, FUCK

[@jasontackett6712]

potatoe? you mean potato

[@EmperorSkel]

25:00 The poor wee thing stood no chance! lol

[@Debbiebabe69]

Was it me or was that ship flying a jock flag?

[@quadrapodacone]

I want this game sooo bad!

[@averagejacobinsubscriber]

Just wondering. Can you team kill on this game?

[@NUCCubus]

Where does all this whistling come from?

[@S1KRYD]

Hola! Gracias por tus vídeos! Me atrevo a hacerte un par de comentarios como sugerencias para ofrecer un producto más interesante. Al margen de que tus textos son interesantes, te sugiero que no excedas de más de dos líneas en cada texto y que los ajustes a un tiempo de lectura más lento. Lo importante de tus vídeos es la acción en ellos, y los textos deben apoyar esas acciones, no enmascararlas o restar atención de ellas. El tiempo utilizado en la lectura de los "subtítulos" es tiempo perdido en la visualización de las acciones. Por último, deberían estar situados en la parte inferiror de la imagen. Todo esto discho desde el cariño y la mera intención de poartar un poquito en la mejora de unos vídeos que merecen la pena ser disfrutados siempre. Un abrazo!

[@jefftheriault7260]

And, umm, what are fifth rates doing wandering around in front of first rates?

[@ericbiscuit2248]

Hey Ram, what PC specs do you have?

[@guilemaigre14]

looks like there is a lot of shots going too high. But that was cool !

[@HellBoundGamer14]

The HMS Victory, 104 guns..... Please excuse me while I shoot all the cannonballs ever

[@XxJay71xX]

anyway , one question : is there any ammo explosion in this game ? like you shoot a ball into the powder storage and BOUM ! x)

[@ramjb]

Not right now. And will be quite rare when it's in, I'm guessing, and not product of direct gunfire (shells of the era were inert solid round shot), but rather of damage-related on-board fires spreading into the powder storage and...boom. Which is what happened to the ships of the era like L'Orient and others.

[@XxJay71xX]

Yup I know about the story of l'Orient ^^ as a french and with a lot of members of my familly or who had served who serve right now in the Marine Nationale ^^ Well... The explosion of L'Orient was pretty spectacular, as we can see that the fight had to stop for almost an hour after that to repair the ships on all side and calm down after the chock that the detonation had been on the mind of all the sailors that were there...

[@TheMarineGamerIGGHQ]

it wouldnt exactly work like that if the ships deck was on fire and then you exposed the gun powder reserve to the fire, than yes because theres a relatively low chance that just by shooting gun powder would cause it to explode but of course many ships in the past have sank due to the powder reservers being hit so we never know :D

[@SergeantLeo]

just a ignorant question here, Why are their such few crew members actually on board manning the guns and sails?

[@WickedMuis]

Because this is Alpha footage most likely. Hopefully this will improve :)

[@UlfAhlborg]

the only gripe I have with this game is that it seems ships can take far too many hits before becoming crippled or destroyed.

[@Javier_Garcia_Ab]

Why the flags waving in the wind but the smoke from the gunfire left behind? Sailing ships block could not sail faster than the wind. The smoke of the canon therefore would have to overtake the sail warship!. Error! Beautiful game! I impatiently await the open alpha! OMG! The Santisima Trinidad with french flag! Sacrilege!!!!

[@Warhorse469]

Because the ships are moving and shooting at the same time duh

[@CptAngelKGaming]

Are there ramming mechanics in this game?

[@Gamer-dl3ms]

Angel K.N i know im late but yes

[@LouisReacts]

in real life no, when they release open world no...your gonna have to keep the ship after the battle so you dont want to purposely do it

[@metalandjazzare1]

would you see cannon balls just a question did they really go that slolw?

[@carlopro63]

It depends on the type of gun and the size of the cannon ball but most of them went at about 500 or 600 meters per second

[@the_red_knight1581]

But, ships will they be connected to theyr nation only later on or will we aways see British and French Santisimas ?

[@the_red_knight1581]

***** I see and understand thanks you for your reply :)

[@PeterCTheRock]

any info about this game? and is dmg model so broken? in one of videos i saw 1st rate firing full broadside into cutter and cutter survived..
