When you look at history behind the game, its astonishing the amount of perils they had to endure. World of Warships is a great game, but it's also important for people to learn about the battles, ships and men IRL to gain an appreciation for it. Thank you for this WG; can't wait for the second part.-TheSneakySnake

A year after the PQ 17 debacle, Admiral Dudley Pound died of a brain tumor. Which probably had quite a lot to do with his inexplicable decision to withdraw the escorts and order the convoy to scatter.

Im sure it is. I believe it was stated in a Q&A that the Halloween escort gamemode was a test of several game mechanics they were planning to implement. Im going to guess they were A) Shore installations which debuted shortly before and B) a convoy escort gametype. Something they tinkered with in WoT as well

This is pretty amazing. People need to realized that their enemy during the Cold War was once their ally that help and fought alongside them. It doesnt matter if youre a Democratic person, a Monarchist, or a Communist. In the Arctic Convoy, you fought side by side with each other to defeat a common enemy. That is why this video was amazing. It remind us that the people we hate in Eastern Europe was once our allied that needed our help and also helped us.

I worked on a ship on the Danube repairing and upkeeping buoys... was not easy or safe but it was far far from anything like any of this
@lamploughd3 жыл бұрын
the other sad thing normal in all Convoys not just artic ones was that they'd never stay behind to rescue sunken crews it would need to be done later. This is because ships in the early stages of the war would be struck trying to rescue crews. So for the maximum safety of the rest of the ships many people we just left there.

The U-Boats normally surfaced to sink a crippled ship with their deck gun when escorts were not present, they also preferred to use their deck guns during the night (but that changed when radar and escort got more common).
@riyoriyote7 жыл бұрын
They also often fired torpedoes when surfaced as well, especially at night, and early war it was one of the most effective tactics. The idea that U-boats only ever engaged while submerged is a misconception.
