Naval Legends: Arctic Convoys. Part 1 | World of Warships

[@BIAWorldofWarships]

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

[@Skaitania]

Fantastic video with excellent CGI recreation, I love these to bits. And of course my greatest respect to the veterans and casualties of these vital convoys.

[@zyhgar25]

History channel? Nha wargame is my history channel.

[@boxman9033]

ikr

wish they did alot more of these!

[@CeesaX]

I'd pay a monthly fee above and beyond premium time so they could produce more of these more regularly.

[@stevenmoore4612]

All the history channel ever has is swamp people and Ice road truckers. Nothing to do history at all!

[@daanasten5633]

Big respect for those who sacrificed their life during WWII & Thanks for WG for this video.

[@shaunmcclory8117]

I agree with your sentiment but although some undoubtably sacrificed themselves and their lives i would say most 'lost' their lives and didn't 'sacrifice' themselves volountarily. Lest we forget🙏

[@RedXlV]

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.

[@WildBillCox13]

A very well done segment, with interviews shared between the men of the countries involved. We were allies in those days . . . let's hope it happens again, despite all the bellicose rhetoric we hear of late (on both sides). Thanks for posting, Wargaming. Большое спасибо

[@Panservogn]

tirpitz? that ship sinked 500 meters away from my house!

[@leadwayvideoproductions7881]

Thats actually pretty cool

[@quintiax]

You know she still lays there sunk. You can dive to spectate her.

[@lufwaffeaircraft]

TakableFlunky there's actually a website you can buy a really nice pocket knife made with actual steel from the tirpitz.

[@kyledombrowski7051]

DiscGolfer93 link?

[@NashmanNash]

@@quintiax Why dive to the few things that remain? Blücher in Oslofjord would be far more interesting^^

[@PangUnit]

It was a very pleasant surprise to see Nicholas "The Chieftain" Moran, as well as the Red Oak Victory! Excellent production as always Wargaming, can't wait to see part 2.

[@winghungyuen2726]

Salute to all those brace sailors who ventured into the Arctic made sacrifices and never got the attention they deserve. Wasn't glamorous work, but they got it done. O7

[@N20Joe]

Great videos, keep up the good work, Wargaming! Is it just me or does everyone feel the need to log in and play after watching these videos?

[@TheShogun47]

I hope this is WG's way of introducing a new upcoming game mode.

[@JKSSubstandard]

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

[@giggs_4208]

FascistTemplar200 I got hit by countless friendly torps in that Halloween convoy game mode.... lol

[@LandersWorkshop]

What was the tinkering in WoT concerning this?

[@boxman9033]

ikr....

[@mammothmk3355]

JKSSubstandard That Halloween event were used by WG as a testbed for the Convoy mode, which will arrrive sometime in 2017.

[@bagelsecelle9308]

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.

[@ZVelzy]

You just have to imagine the man interveiwing these servicemen to think that they've seen things he will never know thanks to them.

[@MrJohnnyb74]

These mini-documentaries are outstanding. The raw footage, veteran accounts plus the animations help to tell the story in superb detail. Great work Wargaming!

[@jdencemcbuilder2134]

This was a great documentary can't wait for part2!

[@strykerrrukerr5491]

I learned from this 100times more than school. Thanks WG!!! Respect for veterans of UK,USA and RUSSIA!!!!

[@tonnywildweasel8138]

Running the gauntlet in these hostile conditions.. much respect!!

[@Jatischar]

This Video touched my deeply. The heroic struggle of these Sailors and Seamen made me realise again the price we have to pay for our Lives, collectively speaking.

[@Woolfy]

Im so hyped for part 2 right now. Very well done.

[@SteveDuskett]

This stuff is seriously my jam. I love the work you put into the game and into these videos. Much love Wargaming.

[@Sleep-is-overrated]

Please do a video on the SS Jeremiah O'Brien, the Liberty Ship in San Francisco. It took part in the D-Day invasion and made 11 crossings of the Atlantic, which was EXTREMELY lucky for a ship of her class

[@agthm_3]

Sad to realize we are the last generation that can meet with veterans WW2

[@Spitsz01]

A very underestimated and unknow fight, and harsher than you can imagine...

[@franz_stigler]

Jeremy Clarkson did a great show about the convoy PQ17.

[@wmr9019]

As I watch the unloading of those ships I wonder which one of those cranes my grandfather was operating he was in murmansk between 1943 and the end of 1945, operated the floating Samson and atlas crane, he has been previously torpedoed on the Atlantic convoys and survived along with my uncle who was only 16 at the time, the British government sent my grandfather over to Russia for the rest of the war, he continued in the merchant navy until he retired in the 1970s he passed away in 1991 aged 85, rest in peace grandad you are still my hero, the strongest toughest and most gentle man I have a knew 💖💖💖

[@budak_korporat]

nice animation WG, we need more stuff like this, GJ !!

[@quintiax]

So Wargaming will finally buff CVs? Because they are constantly talking about aviation.

[@arcturus4762]

Nope, Hakuryuu is still better

[@quintiax]

ArthurTFE What do you mean?..

[@arcturus4762]

Ok, yes they will...

[@bella_ciao4608]

UHHHHHHHH

[@xXE4GLEyEXx]

I always wonder how the man of today would hold in situations such as this... for me all the people who took part in WW1 and WW2 no matter the side are heroes.... I myself would have never been able to accomplish any of the hard work and though situations that these man went trough... 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

[@lamploughd]

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.

[@grimkupid8478]

I've heard stories of those convoys, if a ship was sunk, you left it behind you didn't stop, whether there were survivors or not.

[@tomyrobinson4149]

Fantastic documentation videos as usual World of Warships. My appreciation to you guys for you hardwork. I'm curious, how did you guys make that animation, I really love the quality of the animation.

[@iwantramen4622]

this should become a movie...

[@theeNappy]

Ad-meer-al-tee? Mike Dorn, you were ON Star Trek...

[@EthanDyTioco]

Naval Legends is like Greatest Tank Battles, but with better visuals, better music, better commentary, better content, and better narration Now for WG to do the same thing with tanks, and truly give tank warfare the show it deserves

[@conradvonhotzendorf1128]

Rest in peace Adm Stevens. A true gentleman

[@minerx1177]

9:23 nice chem trail

[@JeanLucCaptain]

the arctic convoy runs must have been truly horrific, especially with the constant non-stop ice build-ups, horrifically cold weather & limited to non-existant daylight.

[@drestnar]

applause. well done on the video series

[@Spitsz01]

Read "Citizen Sailor" by Glyn Prysor if you are interested in the convoy war! Absolutely must have read book in this catagory. It's like reading a good Stephen King. You won't be able to put it down!

[@alfredconqueror4422]

such an amazing and interesting video! the cinematics were also superb. world of warships, i will buy a premium ship just to show you my love, the tiger tank in WT can wait a few months

[@lorrainegrew7380]

My amazing Dad was Royal Navy & was on a small escort vessel HMS Warspite a Corvette. He was only 19 coming back from Russia PQ16 he witnessed his best friends Merchant ship Empire Lawrence blown to smitherines by the Luftwaffe. they had several days of constant bombing by the Luftwaffe based in Norway. Churchill was right worst journey on earth

[@DDayJayke]

That's my girl! Tirpitz a true beauty!

[@safetydoggo2721]

Awesome stuff :D keep doin dis pls

[@Platinumsniper]

In case people aren't aware the Red Oak Victory is the cargo ship that you receive your containers on in game

[@georgezimmerman6]

my grandfather sailed in convoy PQ17 on the SS JOHN WITHERSPOON AND WAS SUNK by u-boat picked up a few days later and then was sunk again by JU88 bombers

[@freegraceprotestant]

Austin, I hope you could share your story with our Facebook group GULF COAST BLUEJACKETS, a WWII naval research and living history group that is dedicated to remembering the service and sacrifice of both naval and merchant marine veterans. Were a closed group on Facebook - simply hit us up to come in and post about your grandfather. Thanks, Mick

[@johnhurst3737]

Hope you show total forces deployed, during the total campaign and there losses, and possibly the battle of north cape too

[@jmv2015]

Awesome videos !

[@Ryuko-T72]

Put this on Netflix dude!

[@giggs_4208]

Heroes! Every single one of them (the allies)

[@ingocernohorsky]

would love to see those graphics as Ingame :-)

[@gamesghost2670]

OH BOI... i never clicked a video so fast...

[@fraseredkins2509]

My maternal grandfather Captain A B Macrae was there

[@thomastwohey]

very interesting video WG! :)

[@Ryuko-T72]

Theres a fly on your picture.

[@thomastwohey]

Erwin hehe

[@lufwaffeaircraft]

Kickass

[@steel_dejones8648]

Just go into military history nice to get WSU’s to learn about it without recording history on my dvr

[@juliodyarzagaray]

Correction, the purpose of the U.S. Navy n the Atlantic was to get from point A to point B.

[@bombadt-yt9818]

anyone going to ignore the fact that a U-boat surfaced at around 14:07

[@doorcf]

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).

[@riyoriyote]

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.

[@deoramos1549]

2019..👍👍👍

[@jewdidnaziitthrumping4410]

the cargo ships are fun to sink in one shot

[@TROOPER685HD]

Tirpitz!! :)

[@juliaslavova9672]

The planes on the title are GM4 Betty bombers

[@finol6127]

Scharnhorst immer voran

[@debiruhaato246]

Naval legends about Nishimura fleet pls.

[@definitelynotpc9814]

The guy at 9:40 means "very well", not "very good".

[@zanzao-1ps318]

Super col :)

[@someguyontheinternet8063]

*see you on 23 feb* my birthday perfect

[@lxmedia3911]

Those ships need some TLC. Too many rust.

[@guyfromthe80s92]

No mention of Nostraship?

[@rosesprog1722]

It worked but we all know that according to the international conventions of war you can only help one side or the other once you have officially declared war yourself, Lend Lease may have made it legal in the US but not internationally, of course the US and Britain are not especially known to give a damn about rules and regulations.

[@lxmedia3911]

Want to continue playing World of Warships but my potato computer can't handle the graphics well with all the visual effects going on :(

[@LandersWorkshop]

Shell out £399 - £500 and a gaming PC can be yours...

[@Tiznado069]

ya no los subtitulan en español?

[@energianliquidator9629]

Hey,where are the Liberty Ships

[@dagsabot5589]

You should do a special on Katyn!

[@Kardia_of_Rhodes]

Wargaming > History Channel

[@arischoenberg42]

This was a nice video, I just don't think it is a naval legend. Might be worthwhile to call it something else.

[@rafiardian3330]

Sad that now russia is not that allied anymore

[@briancaldwell7305]

God bless all these sailors for the Murmansk convoys. Thanks to Russia for trying to honour those who served at sea. Too bad British politians blocked this. Stupid. Long live Russia. BC from Canada.

[@ryanbenfield2708]

Still find it funny how we sent them all this stuff and they haven't paid us back lool

[@TheTemplarnight]

they did a pretty good job at paying you guys back by, fighting more of the german forces for you and pushing them back for you, without them the war would've been a lot lot harder and dragged on way longer than you might think.

[@submarinewahoo238]

The terms of reparation for taking part in Lend-Lease was the *optional* return of equipment used to the United States.

[@EthanDyTioco]

*shortened the war extensively and reducing US/UK casualties by throwing millions of Soviets at the Germans, who had to spend resources fending them off, resources that they could have spent on US and UK troops

[@bigbigmurphy]

Rats roaming USS Milwaukee and rusted barbette bearing HMS Royal Sovereign.

[@ryanbenfield2708]

TheTemplarnight It's not the point. We gave them many things that they did not have before the war, basic tools, suspension systems etc. Then they throw it back in our face for the cold war

[@fz7091]

[@stangace20]
