17:18 Sounds like the report was the Battle of Cape Esperance - the first naval victory of the Guadalcanal Campaign. The Japanese lost a heavy cruiser and a destroyer while the USN lost the destroyer USS Duncan. Two more Japanese destroyers were sunk the following day.
The watch crew and radar man STILL don't have ice cream privileges btw until they clean up their act.
Got to turn the radar on for it to warn you
Well done avenging Pearl Harbor Taff. You got Akagi, now for the other 5 carriers of the Kidō Butai 😁
Guess Akagi somehow survived the Battle of Midway, got her planned refit, and headed south? In any event, nice going...you're officially at 250,877 tons...you've surpassed the quarter-million tonnage mark!
Amazing result you’ve achieved today.
Though the fact that you sank Akagi is both an incredible achievement and also still very perplexing, since she should have already have been sunk months ago back in June 42.
I dare say good sir that you have found yourself in an altered timeline, not too dissimilar from our own, but enough to major differences. Evidently in this case to your great benefit. 😉
A bit of spitballing here, but what if the Timeline changed BECAUSE of old Captain O'Hare here? What if he was so successful, because you remember he sank a BATTLESHIP a few Episodes back, that the Japanese Admiralty are much more reluctant to sortie out for fear of losing another capital ship?
Maybe the Battle of Midway didn't even happen? Maybe the Kido Butai dispersed after the loss of that Fuso class (I think it was a Fuso Class), so that any submarine wouldn't be able to cripple a bunch of their precious Capital Ships? That would explain why Akagi would still be Alive, and much more heavily escorted. Not that it mattered in the end, anyway.
And that could also explain why the Mark 14s are actually reliable instead of self propelled pieces of wet rat shite that failed more times than I failed Algebra. Maybe BuOrd got it's shite together instead of burying their heads up their own asscracks like a bunch of demented Ostriches.
@@wylandnares8642 : Indeed.
Or - to go in the other direction - maybe in this alternative timeline, the US Navy LOST the naval Battle of Midway?
(Which would have happened if the US carrier Yorktown, damaged at Coral Sea, was NOT patched up in time to take part. Enterprise and Hornet on their own in the US air strikes would certainly have sunk the Japanese carrier Kaga, but very probably NOT the Agaki, and definitely not the Soryu.
(The Akagi was historically attacked by only 3 SBDs from Enterprise, which would be extremely unlikely to have made it through the Zero CAP, if the Yorktown's TBDs hadn't diverted all the Zeros' attention. And the Soryu was sunk by SBDs from Yorktown.)
The 2 Japanese counterstrikes, with Akagi and Soryu taking part as well as Hiryu, would almost certainly have sunk the inexperienced Hornet, and very possibly Enterprise too. After that, the remnants of the small US fleet would have fled back to Pearl Harbor.
However - the Japanese amphibious invasion of Midway Island would have been a disaster for them! Midway had far more US Marines defending it than the Japanese had planned for, large minefields, a small unit of light tanks, and the coral terrain was also much tougher for invading troops than expected. This is explained in the annexes of the book 'Shattered Sword'.)
So even if the Japanese had won the naval battle of Midway, they would then have lost the LAND battle of Midway - leaving the heavily bomb and shell cratered islands still in US hands.)
I’m green with envy, when I played the original Silent Service one patrol I had a 65% fail rate on the Mark 14s.
Big ups to the IJN for finding the wreck of the Akagi off Midway, raising it, and repairing it to where it could sortie again all in the space of about 4 months. Sadly, all that effort turned out to be for naught.
Fantastic episode taff, best results seen in the campaign so far and no doubt a truly epic contribution to the war effort. Destroying that enemy carrier is going to enable easier operations for US carrier forces in the Pacific as well as being a relief for allied naval operations, probably just changed history for the better, that carrier destroyed will seriously damage the enemy's war against the allies, as well as being a humiliation to their morale and propaganda. Scratch one flat-top, fantastically executed attack. That was a close call with those enemy destroyers, always expect a struggle when enemy carriers are involved, those escorts are murder, it's also not any surprise the enemy saw your periscope, IJN night optics was incredibly effective and sometimes out saw contacts that allies could see with radar. Get yourself together lick your wounds and get back to port, the allies have good cause to rejoice and celebrate, great episode and well done mate 👍
Quite a huge leap up from the fishing boats and junks you’ve been claiming lately. Way to get your name into the history books!
Well... *Buck O'Hare's* name, anyway ;)
0:33 I like the clothing mods that the Subsim guys made for SH4 crewmembers; that sailor's baseball cap looks just like the one Upham wore in Saving Private Ryan
The water graphics look better than Skull and Bones.
Shooting at stationary targets DOES NOT require AOB and distance data as you DO NOT need to solve the triangle. As a result, you DO NOT need to use the ship recognition manual; it can save you from being spotted by the enemy.
Some Epic Snapshots in this VId. Keep Rocking Taff. 4 +2 on that carrier.
Taff, responding to the opening of the video, I think you would be more successful at evading aircraft if you order crash dive instead of periscope depth. It gets you deeper, faster, which is the ultimate protection against them.
Love sinking ship that have already been suck at this point in the war
Akagi was lost at the Battle of Midway, June 1942
Outstanding video today great Carrier sinking.
Good Hunt Taff, thank you as always
Excellent work Taff!
Really enjoying this series!
One day he'll sink a whole task force. Then he'll boot up War on the Sea and wonder where his carrier group went. 😅
Love the music - straight out of Thunderbirds!
Yoooo let's go! One more Silent Hunter 4 episode! 😎
Finally got a carrier on the talley board
W, Keep up the good work Taff
wake up baby taff droped another video!
Wow ... big prize.
Well done!!
ya know thats the carrier where your trpedoes caught the sand bank in the harbor. i"m surprised nobody else caught that.
All you need to do now is to sink Yamato to be a legend~
To qoute the famous saying during the Battle of Coral Sea:"SCRATCH ONE FLAT-TOP!!"
Have you or listened to Clear the Bridge by RAdm. Richard H. O'Kane? It is a great story of submarine action during WW2 in the Pacific. Highly recommend 👍
Sinks IJN Flag ship, then worries about repairing .50 cal. A CV sunk and 2 BB's? Yeah, you should phone that in.
TY Taff
Excellent stuff Captain Taff! Amazing to see one of the X-men as your Nav officer?
“It has been an honor sir.”
you got to know when to hold em
In this timeline, Akagi may have survived Midway and VB-6... but not Buck O'Hare and USS Salmon 😉
You had to help them feed Godzilla below the waves, you didn't want to have it get hungry, did you?
There goes the flagship of the Japanese Combined Fleet.
VAdm Chūichi Nagumo is about to be pretty pissed
@@fernandomarques5166 He probably went down with the ship.Haha.
23:02 TFW your Zero fighter is no use!
Too bad the rest of convoy got away, but you got the most important ship.
That's a Navy Cross
😃👍🏻
when do you think you can cut down your bridge and add to the forward gun platform?
That’s carrier is the same one in Java. What a luck
I would have expected you to go much deeper than 150. The rating for a Salmon is a bit more than 300 if I remember correctly. Click on the button beneath the depth gauge to see the maximum depth gauge.
Have not been able to run this since upgrading my PC from Win 7 to Win 11 last year.
Tried installing from the DVD but couldn't get it to run even in compatibility mode.
Any advice on getting it running again or is it a no-go on Win 11?
Good show what
Hey taff/peeps. Anytime I try to run this game certain sounds (like every 2nd torpedo I fire and certain ships exploding) will become many times as loud as they should be, anyone know a fix?
I tried reinstalling already
How does an aircraft carrier with four torpedo hits not sink but was still doing so well? Maybe you should have set your torpedoes go deeper...
I've asked the same question.
Japanese carriers were lightly protected, both the flight deck and hull.
They also used to store bombs and torpedoes near aviation fuel, which proved to be a very bad idea during the war.
@@milostomic8539 You said it, man! It was almost a total waste for Americans to send torpedo bombers and dive bombers to strike Japanese carriers during Midway. All they would have really needed was Grumman Wildcats to strafe with their wing machine guns the areas of Japanese carrier flight decks where the Jappies had stored all the munitions and aircraft fuel for their Vals and Kates. Also, the Japanese aircraft carrier Taiho could have been saved without fuel and aircraft munitions. Because of reasons quite similar, American aircraft carriers taking part in Vietnam War suffered catastrophic conflagrations in Gulf of Tonkin (all it required was one Zuni rocket short circuiting) but no American aircraft carrier in Gulf of Tonkin sank though. Just suffered very expensive damages (both in money and lives lost).
@@milostomic8539 Also, my logic says in the best case, it would have, in real life, required only ONE torpedo to sink Akagi class aircraft carrier **EVEN WITHOUT** catastrophic conflagration caused by torpedo hitting just where the munitions and fuel were stored. Why? Well, I have found out that despite Japanese having long traditions in naval warfare, their warship crews were notoriously incompetent in damage control as well as depth charging Allied submarines.
why console can not have a sub simulator?
The control scheme would be too complex on a controller vs a keyboard
@@Mii_Oh_Nine played a sub sim on a much older console and that played using a controller Attack Sub 688 on a Mega Drive.
@@stephenreynolds386 I thought you were meaning games like Silent Hunter or Cold Waters, I guess it would depend on how much variety you give the sub for movement and actions
@@Mii_Oh_Nine no i mean as in a completely new game similar to silent hunter\cold waters.
