in essence Montana was an iowa with an extra turret. so 12 of Iowas guns on her

[@carlosrivas1629]

yeah but a single American DD could run circles around Yamato.

[@sealordmountbatten]

The commentary is great but the gameplay is just pure pain, there's so many mechanics and aspects about the ships that don't get shown off. There's many of us out there that wouldn't mind sending a replay if asked!

[@LarryWater]

Hi, Sea Lord!

[@daffahilmi6918]

U should send them your replay if there a chance.. this clip hurt my brain😭

I don't want to sound mean, but these game clips only show ships, the gameplay itself is at a low level.

I’ve never played the game but what’s the problem?

[@maximilianandresen9778]

@@Pearloryxhe’s not leading his ships that’s why he’s practically missing everything

[@thebluegremlin]

not the video for it

[@BigD321]

@@Pearloryx Lots of poor play, not leading targets well, poor positioning, over aggression, camera is way too zoomed in. Whats worse is that they were probably facing bots. WoWs is a naval arcade game, not a simulator and the gameplay shown doesnt represent how the game is actually played and what the game is like. Theres a lot of gameplay out there of the game, its not hard to find a replay of what the game is actually like.

[@epon4406]

Watching this gameplay hurt my soul

[@nickgraff9413]

Fun fact Gamology crew, just one of Yamato's 18.1" turrets weighed around as much as a Fletcher-class destroyer, which is one of it's opponents in Tier VIII through X battles.

[@Leefjuice4005]

9:42 that's literally what I once said in the official stream those ships are not leaning enough damn happy to see someone having same opinion

[@ccoeltrains]

They used to heel more, and I really don't know why they removed it. That was like 7 years ago now.

[@ISAFMobius18]

I love this game, espeically the console version World of Warships: Legends. Just a great mix of history and arcady naval combat. CUrrently working on a French Heavy Cruiser at the time of writing this. Also please get someone who knows how to play this game make future clips for you. it was so painful watching them shoot over enemy ships and just running headlong into enemy gunfire full broadside.

[@mindclaw915]

Fr, the first thing I noticed was the horrific gameplay

[@davidiglesias6587]

same.. painful game footage to watch 😅

My grandfather survived 3 days in the water in the south pacific . His dd was sunk .He watched his friends die from dehydration and sharks. It was sad in ww2. He served on a destroyer in ww2. After surviving the war he never wanted to go in the ocean for many years after what he went thru

[@jacksonpalmer7504]

"Their sailors were very skilled too" Clip shows the Yamato heading straight into the island

[@jaquigreenlees]

in game the Yamato isn't all that tough, the cheek armour weakness that lets you drive ap rounds into her citadel, the random number generator ( rng ) used to calculate shot accuracy often truly ruins a shot. I took a 2 tier lower battleship up against the Yamato in game, in 2 salvos of my 9 15 inch guns I got 7 citadel hits and took 95% of her health. The team mate I was trying to aid got the kill and we continued hunting the other team.

[@KizaruBorsalino]

Played right Yammy is still a great ship no matter what, you only get cheek shot on someone who doesn't know what theyre doing. It has everything required to work in the current meta. Range, good accuracy, tons of overmatch and decent aa. Ofc it aint the best but it works.

[@Sindor33]

If Yamato is used in Tier X Clan battles, it's for a reason. Blame the player, not the ship.

[@nomnomxddd7341]

25:55 I live at Gölcük near the Turkish naval command and naval shipyard and have a lot of navy friends, one of them has a memory of going to the deck at night to smoke and after they come back they realise one of them is missing, turns out one man had fallen into sea and got blended into red mist by the rotors

[@manny7662]

that's horrible...

[@reuz5462]

The thing with the WWI Emden, is it was basically alone against the British Pacific fleet, and still the captain was famous for his gentlemanly way of war when he was attacking shipping.

[@frednone]

In naval warfare it is a legitimate ruse to fly a false flag, which is why there are usually challenge and responses when two ships meet each other. A Nautical Mile is a little over 1.1 mile. So, a ship traveling at 40 knots would be at about 45 mph. In the Battle off Samar, the Yamato out weighed the entire American force, and she had a lot of friends.

[@Theo-ev6yu]

Flying a false flag only becomes a war crime if you don't fly your true colors when combat begins.

[@MajCyric]

The Yamato at the very end of the war tried to sail out and beach itself off Okinawa to become an unsinkable gun platform (Japan lacked the fuel to really put it proper use).. It was thoroughly beat down and sunk from air dropped torpedoes (17 of them)...

[@H2OSakanaIsMyOshi]

Whatever journalist that recorded the gameplay footage sucks at this game 😂

[@ISAFMobius18]

Sees Ships, shoots island. Nah seems like an actual player to me lol

[@warsh1p234]

[@albinovenom6872]

​@@warsh1p234 I feel attacked 😂

[@tylermiddleton5826]

I thought the Yamato only had one battle and lost awesome ship but did not do much in battle.

[@frednone]

She only fired her main guns in anger once at ships, in the Battle off Samar, where she out weighted the entire US force and was credited with sinking an escort carrier. She fired them again with AA shells during her last fight.

[@Kaiberus]

i mean to be honest the uss iowa with its better fire control system even though it had less big guns would probably win, it'd just boat away, shoot and has a way better chance thn hiitting@@frednone

[@Myomer104]

She had three engagements that any of her weapons were fired in: Samar, Ten Go, and I forget what the one before Samar was called. Only during Samar did she fire upon enemy vessels, temporarily crippling Johnston and White Plains. Both were able to repair their power plants, Johnston being later put down by Kongou and White Plains managing to limp away and survived the battle.

[@Mrdjs1133]

​@Kaiberus the Iowa had the advantage if there is any weather conditions other than bright and sunny, and during the night (later on). However, in the time period when she overlaps with Yamato, the Japanese trained for night fighting. Iowa had the radars and better fire control, so yes she'd have a clear advantage at range, but Yanato is a very tough ship. It's more likely Iowa mission kills her than sinks Yamato outright.

[@michaelhuerta7469]

She was nicknamed hotel Yamato for a reason

[@harrylime3.143]

Great to see Max Bloom.... Navy Seal, Special Forces, Green orange and purple beret. The man did it all

[@SeahawkGaming-xp7bl]

Is the expert also going to give commentary on Warthunder naval mode?

[@Pearloryx]

Very unlikely. They should’ve went that way but it would be almost exactly the same as this. This channel doesn’t cover the reactions over the different game but same genre as they’ve done before.

[@renown16]

That SMS Emden was sent aground by the attack of the Australian cruiser HMAS Sydney, the Emden you mentioned was a training ship, in ww2.

hearing the dude describe all the bullshit ways you die is the reason i joined the Army. out in the ground i can control my fate but on a ship its pretty much guaranteed death.

[@crosskoyamayandaytugay3508]

death is already guaranteed

[@springerk2007]

They should explain what happens when you get hit by a teammate’s torpedo.

[@Arash_Leopard]

who gave the inexpirienced gamer a yamato, montana and several other ships 😭😭😭 bro is being beatened by actual players that grind to tier X 😭😭😭

[@Kulanae]

That "everyone has two jobs X and firefighter" was NOT the case in WWII and did not change until Vietnam and the USS Forestal incident that John McCain was involved in. The fire brigade of trained firefighters was wiped out by a bomb detonation due to the fire and after the investigation, the Navy began training all sailors to fight fires.

[@Revkor]

it was durign ww2 that ius what made are ships last longer.

[@Kulanae]

@@Revkor "Based on lessons learned during Japanese attacks on vessels during World War II, most sailors on board ships after World War II received training in fighting shipboard fires. These lessons were gradually lost and by 1967, the U.S. Navy had reverted to the Japanese model at Midway and relied on specialized, highly trained damage control and firefighting teams."

[@sniperplays6616]

29:10 Alerigh Burke class ships and those like them have tested launching HIMARS guided missiles from their helicopter pads, along with similar land attack guided missiles and long range SAMs and interceptors

[@francedestroid4694]

how is possible that the Yamato lost 97k hp in 5 sec 💀

[@TheLiamis]

Easy citadel hits.

[@francedestroid4694]

i know, it was sarcasm

[@dimitriorelnov7851]

the reason that you don't put a tank on a ship as a weapon is because a warship can have guns far more larger, shoots further and more accurate with it's large radar, auto loader and so on, and we have missiles goes 200+ km today. BUT, putting tanks on a ship is actually done to turn a transport ships or even civilian ships into combat-capable sea platforms.

[@kevind3974]

for those none history buffs. the yamato was defeated by a fletcher class. the yamato guns were just as heavy/big as a fletcher it was the battle off samar (not of, off. it happened right after) aka the last stand of the tin cans. he mentioned it breafly but its the philapines battle. biggest navel underdog win in history

[@bettyjocolavita6746]

thank you for your service

[@voodoochile8491]

Have to comment just to say that Max is awesome. He seems very intelligent and he has a great way of explaining things and adding in interesting facts. Hope to see more of him on here.

[@Elixir_Sullivan]

A ship that is pretending to be a another ship MUST show its colors before firing

[@TheLiamis]

With the german cruiser emden, thats just how all cruisers looked back then. Its an old 1800s ship and most were 4 stack. Even many dds looked the same.

[@scharnhorst_42]

Plus Emdens forward stack modeled in game is a false stack to look more like the British contemporaries

[@captaindelta43]

0:15 Vader stuff heck yeah NAVAL IS JUST GOATED. All hail the Mothership ❤

[@theaffiliate4208]

This is a fun arcade adaptation of Sea Warfare. The ship characteristics and scenarios maybe not historically accurate, but is a lot of fun and sometimes frustrating to master. Being able to team up with fellow "clan" members and operate as a coordinating unit really makes for added enjoyment.

[@Theo-ev6yu]

Not only would it be a waste of ammo to shoot at sailors in the water, it's also a war crime.

[@TheLiamis]

Japan didn't really care about war crimes at that period.

[@raymurray3401]

Tho it wasn’t a tank per se during WW2 one (or possibly more) PT boats “acquired” themselves an anti-tank cannon (was either a 75mm or 105mm) and used it on board their vessel for anti-ship and shore bombardment.

[@jonathanliu4816]

I honestly want to see how they react to some of the hybrid ships

[@Baseball-kid0528]

Ships like kurfurst has a camo to be a “spaceship”

[@Myomer104]

The average rate of fire for a warship is 1 - 12 rounds per minute, depending on main gun caliber and battle conditions.

[@TheLiamis]

120mm auto loaders on dds are about 3 seconds a round. Iowa was about 30 to 40 seconds per 9 round salvo.

[@odostolzfu7775]

How did you manage to misspell almost everything in the chapter-section?! Like is that the level of quality you’re going for?

[@Cecil97]

When talking about the heroics of damage control, im suprised he never said anything about the Yorktown.

[@daffahilmi6918]

And here I thought he could review all out if they show him a CV gameplay

[@andylei3144]

Rare footage of the devs actually playing their game 😂

[@nightshade7240]

Scuttlebutt comes from the idiom "loose lips sink ships" because gossip was seen as akin to aiding the enemy because it can destroy morale. Careless talk costs lives and you never know who is listening.

[@flamedphoenix84]

Wow this gameplay just looks like the dev decided to send this to him. this is not great gameplay but they are not showing the bad parts of the game.

[@vincemorgan9640]

I didn't get beyond 4:30. The person playing the Yamato, cannot shoot! It's one thing to have to experience the precipitous decline in player proficiency during game-play, but, to see such a typical example of it (full broadside, then oblivion) highlighted here is ironic.

[@Kaiberus]

also, goddamn i cant watch this video almost just how bad the player is, full on broadside to 2 battleships and it switched to HE, what the fuck

[@junkiexl86]

Nothing more infuriating than watching a teammate spam HE endlessly, broadsides be dammed. The HE-only BB players are among the worst.

[@vangm94]

We need more Navy movies!

[@articcherry8398]

Ima be honest putting on SCBA during training makes me feel good hot but good

[@MRnoSEEme23]

On a Naval ship after you lose your command deck who would be in control of the ship next.

[@Kaiberus]

i mean idk but probably just the highest senior rank, if you lost the captain it would be 2IC, etc etc, if you lost the entire command deck, i dont think theres alot of commanding left to do

[@Myomer104]

Late in and after WWII, an extra, though slightly lesser, command deck was placed deep in the ship called a "CIC" (Combat Information Center) where the third in command would be stationed.

[@yolkiandeji7649]

There’s multiple command positions each with an officer present. It would go down the chain. In the movie Greyhound, the XO is almost never on the bridge with the Captain.

[@TheLiamis]

There is more than 1 command center on the ship. Bridge and then CIC l, on a battle ship there could be a 3rd.
