War on the Sea | Allied Mediterranean Campaign | Ep.9 - Cruiser Carnage!

Taff, in all this time I've watched you play this game, I don't think you've noticed a little button that you can use when classifying or buying new ships. @24:26 you even say, "Italian destroyers, no that doesn't really work, does it". Right next to the drop-down menu where you can choose from the class of ships there is a little yellow/grey square that, when clicked, lets you pick the nationality of the ships. With this filter, your search for the right ship to buy would be much faster. Cheers!

I don’t think he even reads the comments on his videos, honestly.

Those B17's would have made Billy Mitchell proud

Those Italian cruisers go down faster than a French prize fighter! 😆😆

Thank you Taff, that was a gret episode

Love the upload thanks, wish it was longer though

[@Luke1902]

what a funny pronounciation for the italian ships lol, the Luigi class is “Luigi of Savoy, duke of Abruzzo”

[@Stannington]

Things are hotting up

[@ralgith]

Remember, it isn't "Machine Gun" fire. It is 20mm Oerlikons, 40mm Bofors, and possibly 40mm pom-poms for the allies and the German/Italian equivalents. A more proper term might be autocannons or medium AA guns.

Taff I don't think you unloaded all your cargo on Leipetra, I only saw one destroyer unload. There is an unload all cargo button in the same spot as manage cargo. Just click the arrow.

[@beardlessdwarfgaming]

I dont know why they give access to the b17 so early. The Aircraft wouldnt enter service until 1941 with the RAF, In my opinion it cheapens the experience of the early war a bit and makes the axis powers not really pose as much as a threat in the med as it did during the early war...

[@schaddenkorp6977]

And let’s not forget all of the other things that you are given access to which either there were none in 1941 or there were none ever as the game lets you use ships which were planned but never built. Did you even see the episode where the Germans had an aircraft carrier? XD

[@beardlessdwarfgaming]

@@schaddenkorp6977 oh man I forgot about the Graf zeppelin

[@geordiedog1749]

The historicity of this game is almost non existent. Hornets and wyverns in 1940!!!

[@tellyheadlol4258]

@@geordiedog1749 This is a mod, the actual game is far more accurate, as is the east indies mod. Even that has issues, but at the very least it's better than this. Couldn't get into this mod because of it.

[@mikemontgomery2654]

I think you’re wasting your B-17s on ships, when you could be bombing enemy ports. Hell, Spitfires with RP-3 rockets are more then capable of sinking light cruisers but, you’re not touching them at all.

[@ChadwickHalfWit]

I think a couple B-17s for ships is a fine thing. What I'm curious about is sending all of them at one ship, with multiple contacts around. If a couple can sink a ship and still have a few in reserve, he could hit another ship or two instead of immediately returning to base. This includes all planes, in my opinion. Just have them loiter out of range until needed and just rotate them. They have a pretty massive range and a massive bomb load. This also includes beaufighters for uboats... they don't always need all of them and can reestablish contact at a later date with their range if needed or go to a different uboat contact.

[@mikemontgomery2654]

@@ChadwickHalfWit he could also use Beaufighters/Spitfires/Hornets to do the same thing. All the while, B-17s could be attacking other bases. Why lose the 17s attacking single ships? With the smaller planes loaded with rockets, he could attack those convoys with a greater number of aircraft, assign 2-4 per target and yield better results. Even with cruisers, get enough rockets on them and they will sink. I’ve been watching it happen.

[@ChadwickHalfWit]

@mikemontgomery2654 EXACTLY!!! I think he had the one bad experience with the Red Rockets in his early episodes and refuses to use them now. Even with the other rockets a couple aircraft per ship (especially merchant ships) would be enough. I havent played the Mediterranean, myself, so im not sure on the balance, but I feel like he could spread out his forces wide enough to be effective versus sending an entire force for one ship. Especially with the 17s. They have 14 bombs a piece.... I just feel like he could be more effective in general.

[@mikemontgomery2654]

@@ChadwickHalfWit oh yeah. I started watching another guy using a fleet to take care of convoys, while he used Spits with RP-3s to wipe out destroyers and uboats. Even took out a few cruisers, much to my surprise.

[@geordiedog1749]

The level bombing against ships in this is way too effective!

6 topendos used on a hunter single ship ....are u mad
