Last Ditch Effort | Warthunder Naval Battles

[@cpolachek1992]

Loved your cinematic ship-kill shots!

[@SideStrafe]

Thanks! Takes awhile to produce, but I've been wanting to utilize the replay system for ages. Still trying get the hang of things.

[@chaoz1666]

I agree with the others here, seeing those ship kills using replay was really going the extra mile! Helps with the detail at these engagement ranges! A clutch game that you definitely decided!

[@SideStrafe]

Thanks! It takes far longer to produce this kind of content, but it's something I've wanted to do for awhile.

[@skyraiderskynighthybrid]

smart moves sidestrafe, using the wrecks for cover is a smart move, i used the same trick myself in naval battles, same in ground RB

[@AAC1714]

Last time I seen your channel I was around 12-14 and your favorite tank was the T34 heavy (now my all time fav) I’m glad to see you back on my feed

[@nethercomet2206]

You've made me interested in Naval Battles; something I never thought I would say!

[@SideStrafe]

It's surprisingly fun. Some of the maps could use some work, and I'm not sure about the higher tiers but the combat is quite immersive.

[@YunsAvatar]

Here is the epic quality but humble gameplay that we love.

[@BrockvsTV]

KZbin finally put you back into my feed. Welcome back, I hope all is well

[@SideStrafe]

Good to hear and likewise!

[@BrotherKaylen]

GG's! Very nice game, and very nice editing! Be careful bringing in the lower BR coastal boats with the higher BR blue water ships, as this allows the matchmaking to allow higher BR coastal boats fo everyone else. You'll see some bigger and meaner PT boats while you're in your little single torp and machine gun row boats, I know from experience xD But, not a lot to do about it, so keep at it!

[@craigpaul623]

Well played and well edited. I guess I don't know that no PT Boats were made of balsa wood, but I believe the US designs were all made of plywood

[@Rolfwar]

SS back at it!

[@defenderbwe]

Good stuff xD Nice kill edits

[@SideStrafe]

Thanks!

[@Spielekamerad]

I love your editing style Chris. Also the camera placement is perfect. Also 11:22 "YoU gOt A hOlE iN yOuR lEfT wInG". You seem to like the naval battles. What a fantastic round, really well played. Any chance we'll see you use tanks again? Or is your criticism from back then still valid?

[@SideStrafe]

Thanks! Naval is probably my current favorite mode in WT but I may try out some tanks again. The biggest issue I had the last time I played was map design and respawns. The kill camera gives away your location allowing enemies to get revenge. Even worse when they respawn in a plane.

[@Spielekamerad]

I agree, yes. But I remember a bigger problem. Do you know if players with the lower graphics settings still have these massive advantages? I am referring to your video "War Thunder - Ground Forces Uncovered".

[@digitalisman3267]

​@@Spielekamerad Yes we do. Also attention to the designated grid square! Attack the D point!

[@dooder39]

I would've liked this game, if it wasn't for the P2W elements. Its fun watching you play it tho.

[@SideStrafe]

I haven't had many issues in Naval Battles, but I haven't hit the high tiers so who knows.

[@dooder39]

@@SideStrafe You're way further than me though. I didn't stick long after I browsed the tech-tree and saw them selling planes (this was pre-ground war/tank mode) for premium currency. They had stats so it wasn't just cosmetics. So several red flags I have learned from all the dozens upon dozens F2P games I've ever played waved and I just uninstalled. For me personally it just sours the experience, even if it meant I'm locking myself out of a whole genre of games.
