The good news is... when your magazines are empty, they are less likely to explode.

[@papasmurfette007]

A interesting point - I wonder if the game accounts for empty magazines when calculating whether to have a magazine explosion...

On either of the combatant vessels. Comes down to which ship can run the fastest🙄🙄 oh dear, I've just realised this is just a game! Anything can happen and the game looks fun but we'll above my pay grade to play.

Two things that are great fun. When Wolfpack releases a new video, and seeing his total subscribers climbing. His videos are always a treat and I'm glad more and more people are enjoying them!

I have been waiting for a new Episode! The storytelling is just so great and the gameplay is really interesting! Thanks Wolfpack!

[@Nocturnal_Sleeper]

Definitely agree, absolutely love this series.

[@benwelch4076]

Easily one of the top series played out there, well strategized. Cheers.

[@thegungadfly8930]

Love the strafing runs. Those A-20’s really seem to rack up the small ships. Whew!

[@AtomickPhoenix]

Fun fact even though I’m watching this series a year after it was posted: iirc Yuubari was a light fcruiser (obviously) that was used as a test-bed for a lot of experimental technology. As for those technologies I am unsure about specifically but I think it involves things like rangefinders and firing director tech and less-so new weapons. Again I don’t know specifically but I know she was a test-bed! And she has a very unique design that is quite interesting!

[@tefras14]

Love the series. Hope they keep developing the game because its really good already and has a lot of potential

[@andrewmontgomery5621]

Nice to see the Eagle Union's champion Enterprise in action.

[@jimtownsend7899]

Ah! I've been on edge all day, waiting for my Wolf fix. You did not disappoint! A well "rounded" episode today, including rounds from the GBGBs*, aviation ordnance, nice round depth charges for the submarine sailors, and one of my favorites, the 50 cal showers, courtesy of the A-20s!! Thanks, and always the highlight of the day! *GBGBs - Great Big Gray Boats!

[@evinton]

far and away my favourite let's play series on youtube right now. been hooked since the japanese campaign and ive watched every episode since. that happens very rarely for me so kudos to you man!

[@ramal5708]

You should have put a Heavy cruiser or a light cruiser (not Atlanta class) in that carrier task force, these cruisers could operate scout aircraft and scout the surroundings.

[@_fruitnveg]

or a cleaveland, that would work too.

[@keylacerros8122]

Yeah but he probably put a Atlanta class into his CV taskforce for the duel purpose 5inch

[@whyme943]

I agree with using Atlanta's to protect carriers.

[@Madenity]

A battleship would be nice too

[@thomaspowell7468]

@@Madenity yeah but those are hella expensive. Atlanta’s are just cheap AA walls

[@PaDDy7389]

Yuubari seems to be a lucky ship in this mod. I engaged a task force that she was a part of several times with land- and carrier-based aircraft and she took two 1600 pound bombs, one torpedo, and several 1000, 500, 250 and 100 pounders and she still managed to survive as the only ship of that group.

[@douglasmodesto168]

19:54 that shot was so cool!! Love the series!! Keep it going, man!😁

[@smc1942]

@26:58... That's Yubari. A light cruiser with 5.5" (140mm) guns. The torpedo hit her in the screws. That's why she's moving so slow. She's crippled.

[@buckkidder]

Last episode was based (in game) on my birthday! And for this one the day after to show prospects of another carrier battle is just a wonderful bonus. Love your content and appreciate your hard work

[@HeWhoYeets]

Nice. Always happy to see a WOTS video from WolfPack appear in the feed with "x hours ago" beneath it.

[@KevinLee-hu1lj]

Thanks!

[@Wolfpack345]

Thanks :) Sorry I saw this so late!

[@jamessweet5341]

Yubari was an experimental design. I love my Yubari in WOWS. Extremely accurate guns.

[@thatsnomoon4221]

Please I beg you Wolfpack, when you want all of your units to stop firing use the little pluses (?) under the unit tab to select all units and then press "cease" under the orders menu, seeing you manually order every ship to cease fire every time brings me nothing but pain. And on the same note, if you want ships to just engage a single target select them from the menu, target the ship and press attack. I beg you

[@cringyhuman3210]

Man, this is legitimately one of my favorite series, you do a great job with these videos. Also, I was wondering if you would de interested in doing another IJN campaign, this time with the Tokyo Express mod to try out their new vehicles, I'd surely be down to watch it.

[@tylerloveless6716]

So stoked i get to watch this while eatin dinner your videos are always the best

[@evanbondonno5209]

Loved the video @Wolfpack345! Can't wait for the next video man! Hopefully you get enough command points to get the North Carolina into the Enterprise Task Force and maybe a few more Porter-class, Benson-class, Gleaves-class, and Fletcher-class Destroyers as well. I was Today years old when I found out that the Porter's had been originally built with Twin 5"/38 Caliber Guns, I've never taken a close look at them until the USS Selfridge (DD-357) Sub Hunt LMAO!

[@IrishMuttley]

Great series. Great job on applying self imposed balance!

[@smc1942]

You would be better served in surface actions with the _Line Ahead_ formation. Using _Battleline,_ the destroyers on the wings are always in the way, regardless of where you need to turn. Use _Line Ahead,_ and lead with destroyers. It just works better.

[@ericmyers5940]

26:19 Screw up her shafts like what happened to the HMS Prince of Wales?

[@SammySathya]

Another wonderful showing. Keep it up

[@Palabrota]

In my limited experience (vanilla only, not TTE), badly damaged ships get scuttled when their propulsion is completely out and the rest of the force is retreating. For example if you're only doing airstrikes, with no surface-action component, and the remaining enemy ships can continue on to their objective, nothing gets scuttled when you leave combat. not even ships doing single-digit speeds with a 'critical/heavy' damage combo.

[@jollyjohnzz]

Can't wait for the next one !

[@TheJudge2017]

I am glad Japan actually has ships remaining!

[@kullenberg83]

At 26.00 i think the torps was duds due to impact angle being to steep

[@Matic84]

A great series, super exciting and entertaining!

[@stralabastro142]

I found that in the single battle part there's a category called mediterrean. That's so cool to know

[@MrChainsawAardvark]

I know its a bit early in the war, but do the enemy ever resort to kamikaze tactics? Given the amount of destruction you've wrought, I wouldn't be surprised if they're getting desperate.

[@Perkelenaattori]

Selfridge should definitely get a very big Battle Star from that.

[@SovietGrazz]

So, with the allies in this game - What's the spread between US and Commonwealth ships? I know there's obviously at least a few British and a few Australian ones, but are there enough to feasibly conduct this campaign with majority Commonwealth warships?

[@Warspite1]

The Commonwealth gets two heavy cruisers and two light cruisers. So I’d probably say you couldn’t conduct the campaign with a majority of commonwealth ships, although you could try. The Tokyo Express mod does add a few more cruisers to the roster, as well as several destroyers and a battleship, but base game best you got is those 4 cruisers.

[@ramal5708]

They should add features for Heavy Bombers abilities to bombard land bases

[@fiery_ginger7530]

When i first played the first thing i did was tryng to bomb Guadalcanal with b17s...did not work

[@Spitfire_1940]

I see you're nearing 100k. Hell yeah

[@poweredbydonuts201]

Yes! Skipping my next meeting to watch this instead.

[@SquooshyCatboy]

Back to business as usual.

[@michaelbiri6676]

If you bounce the bombs, would it not be better to have the planes in Line Formation, or let them act independently to gain a greater hit chance? As it seems the 2 Wingmen always drop their bombs incorrectly to bounce it into the target.

[@hogandonahue9598]

Dude I can't wait for next episode

[@robrenton4522]

thanks

[@ddavis196311]

You should get a North Carolina battleship because they are fast and have great guns, also because it will be cool

[@jakubszymanski1623]

I believe all the duds on heavy cruiser happened because of the angle being too shallow for the igniter/exploder to work.

[@jay76ny]

No matter how hard I try to keep a reasonable distance in surface engagements I always seem to end up at 4000 yards are less. Pretty sure that wasn't standard proceedure but hey.

[@timjerrom7173]

Late night war movie time :)

[@troyrarehale2517]

Instead of individually clicking every ship to turn try clicking form up Abreast while doing a turn toward the enemy and all the ships will turn and be bow in toward them. Or use the red tabs in the roster or the ++ under the roster. You did read the manual ( do the tutorial) did you not.

Yah gotta leave it off like this, huh... Well, fine then. Ya cliffhangen bastard! 🤣

Hey wolfpack. I love your videos and i am subscribed. Can you please start an cold waters series because i absolutely loved the last 2 ones. Thank you for your videos !

[@PerfectDeath4]

Do you have the beaufighters from the other airfield in New Guinea? Those are nasty at the head-on part of a dogfight if you just use them as heavy fighters.

[@Perkelenaattori]

Beaufighters are sadly only in NZ iirc.

[@PerfectDeath4]

@@Perkelenaattori oof, I know he's running a weird mod hybrid of the older version and newer ones. I've seen Beaufighters in his cooktown airfield, but in the newer versions there is a level 1 airfield on that eastern top of New Guinea. That airfield only has P40s, Beaufighters, and some bombers in small numbers.

Hey, Wolfpack, would you ever try using subs as a forward screen for your convoys/battleground??

He's not using subs in this campaign because he was so successful with them in the Japanese campaign. He's purposefully gimping himself this time.
