38:50 is hilarious

Saved me 300

Maximum cool. Time a reboot r sequel. A GOOD sequel.

Hello

Where is the Crew?

It seems like you were asleep in the game.

You should deploy some units at the merchant ships.

My friend, I commend you for making a video, but please, for us noooobs, don't describe history etc, describe exactly what you are doing and why. Like using sonar to do this, and now using DRT to do that, o OSC to do this.....

Like the vid bro, keep it up. I like the lore you included along the mission.

Thanks for this

YT read my mind today apparently because I was thinking about this map today and you were suggested to me. Good stuff.

5:45 Love this bit, coming down through the cloud cover into the flak with the Japanese carrier group arrayed in front of you. Can't wait to get my hands on this game!

You can say what you like about the Battlestations games, but they were my introduction to the world of WW2 in general and wargaming in particular, so they're alright by me.

"Before assassins creed became the whole thing and that's all they do now." As much as I would love an American sub sim to follow in the footsteps of SH4, I am SO THANKFUL that Ubisoft is not making Silent Hunter games anymore. Because you just know it would be some weird Skull n Bones deal where you "customize your sub" by tacking all sorts of weird, spikey BS all over it while rapid-firing torpedoes in all directions.

Former Surface Warfare Officer here. This is a good game. Here are some comments about real life anti-submarine warfare........ 1) Lookouts are NOT that enthusiastic 2) Ship Captains do NOT speak that pleasantly. Think of Jack Nicholson on "A Few Good Men" but meaner. 3) There is usually 15% confusion between the bridge, CIC and Sonar. False reports abound. 4) General Quarters is pretty accurate. Everyone's pucker factor increases to 1000. 5) All of those GQ reports and Helmsmen repeats are accurate. Your ad libs are hilarious!

Nice video, I think you are right, one trick pony. It needs to start and end in a port. There needs to be more story as you say. I find the subs can move at warp speed where in reality the Fletcher would be on them pretty fast. Hope you do more on this game it doesn't get much attention. Cheers 😊

And so, the K'had Sajuuk was slain by the same fate that befell the home of Rachel's brother; DUNE COLLAPSE. Yep, thats canon now.

Huh. It really IS just naval warfare...on sand.

The XO and captain meeting at start on mission 1 determines your other play through conditions seems to be randomized weather and air support. Not sure about U boat activity

Do you need to sacrifice so the strike fighters like that or can you just...slow-crawl ground forces forward to hammer them until t hey run out of ground units? Plus the inevitable "steal every Siege Cruiser you can get your hands on" bit

13:34 you dropped the depth charges way too early, on that graph, wait till the bars hit the black dotted line on the left before rolling charges when you are confident you are in the correct position.

Looks like Lerch 😂

Just wanted to say that this video and the one for mission 13 helped me to finish homeworld 2 today! Keep up the great work :)

Oldie but goldie

Oh, i definitely want a big box wich then sits next to my other MicroProse big boxes from the 80s and 90s.

In WW2, the Japanese and Americans learned quickly, that assuming a carrier is sunk just cuz a lisp or bad fires was not a good idea. Early war carrier and especially at Midway, carriers were assumed sunk but miraculously stayed afloat or limped back to shore. So what they started doing (mainly US cuz they could) was just absolutely wrecking something until it was below the waves, so they could really make sure it was wrecked.

I think zeroes in particular did indeed employ steep climbs/chandelles after a firing pass to set up another one, taking advantage of their excellent rate of climb and handling at near-stall speeds. But, they wouldn't be able to without building up a decent amount of energy, i.e. after diving in for a pass. These planes are approaching at a seeming snail's pace! I also don't like the look of the ineffectiveness of the air combat, several zeroes getting in right behind the bombers here with none shot down is wildly unrealistic.

another great demonstration of the quality of this game. cannot wait till i can play it. as to your question regarding damage and when ships and aircraft will stop attacking ships i have asked it in the games discord

I hope in the release, there will be npc's manning the guns.

Can't wait

Here's how I did it: Two Neptunes against the RFS Moskva (which is set on the lowest most incompetent skill setting). The ship is in total EMCON (no radars/sensors on) and is in very bad weather. The two missiles are only detected when they turn on their active seekers but the RFS Moskva's skill level is too incompetent and slow to intercept it and it is hit by both, inflicting 40% damage and starting fires. The fires rage out of control combined with bad seas and the ship sinks.

Thank you for a wonderful playthrough....loved your take on the game...a sub here easily! ..cheers

Thanks so much for this

Did they really use absolute bearings in WWII? Is there an in game option to change bearings to relative?

Some very nice shots and scenes from one of your playthroughs Commander. Thank you for sharing. I've had similar brutal kill counts in several of my runs as well :)

thank you for this and the other videos. they have shown the insane level the game has gone to and i cannot wait till its release

Imagine the potential this game has for like. Recreating things like the Mariana turkey shoot and things. Commanding tf58 and all it's sub divisions etc. If not in dlc or updates then if there's mod support.

The graphics look decent, looking forward to this.

Any idea if the crew will be on the guns instead of just the guns firing with nobody on them?

A unique perspective for the demo I have seen of late. Thank you for covering FWFS and i hope you had your tin hat on during the attack :)

Thank you for your coverage Tim ;)

Yes, but on Sept. 13, 1985, F-15 test pilot Maj. Wilbert D. “Doug” Pearson (now retired Maj. Gen.) shot down the Solwind P78-1 satellite.

This scenario is very annoying. SAM stations and around the airport can be cleaned up pretty quickly. Then you can launch strikes on the airfield every 5 hours. MK bombs don't hit anything. 2 out of 118 bombs hit the target. And it has to be done in 24 hours. The A-6E won't let you do a mission for some reason. I can't get more than 60 points on the 6th try and I bombed everything I could.

On my Steam wish list.

Dont care if it aint ready i want it now

How do you get the demo?

Hopefully this game is a success relatively to the genre, that way we can get campaigns and surface combat in the future.

Hehe yeah Poor Hornet actually is lacking internal compartments in this slice, so the hole you see below her stern is actually that semi-AP bomb going all the way from the flight deck to the bottom. Will not happen in the future, but yeah, in theory you could have over penetration from shells or bombs, like what happened to Old Swayback at Komandorski for instance. Then damage will be calculated based on the place where the blast occurs, not on impact proper. That's why here Hornet is leaking oil even though she did not get hit by a torpedo, as this area is rigged to spring a leak (will happen with near misses too). As for the vertical stuff (cam elevation), you're right - it was planned but not implemented yet because I am still a bit confused about whether to use + & - for that job on the keypad. IIRC we used to have it work like that on the Total War series so I might ask JB to go this way. :)
