I am from the Isle of Wight, and very pleased to see that she has been looked after so well. She is a great, and very successful ship. Which is also due to the brave, skilled crews that she had.
Thank you for this short and super informative documentary video. I am very glad to see people get educated of the most important history through the modern games.
In the defence of Cowes, small boats were sent to Portsmouth harbour to retrieve more ammo. Also, they apparently had to use a fire boats hoses to keep the guns from overheating.
Awesome video. Thank you Wargaming It's very, very sad that polish heroes, their sacrifices and huge contribution into victory during II WW is actually forgotten among western countries. I really believe that citizens of western countries could learn very much from polish history. The story of Błyskawica is inspiring and very interesing, but it's also only a drop in the ocean of the polish stories that are worth to be told to the next generations.
Great historical video and amazing ship. Not too long ago she was twinned with HMCS Haida. Hopefully we'll get to see her in game also so they can sail again together :)
13:10 - Thats really nice. Somebody finally said that we were fighting during 2nd WW. But does anyone know why the whole alliance couldn't invite any Polish unit on the winning parade in London? Traitors, you were using our soliders and units and after all couldn't invite or even thank to commanders. Shame on the "Great alliance"
uargumentuj swój pogląd Panie nie pajacu. Kogo zaproszono na paradę? Wszystkich nas wychujano. Zaczynając od początku wojny, po oddanie nas w sferę wpływów komunistów. takiś pro zachodni to żyj w swojej genialnej Francji, która wystawia dupsko do arabów.
+Martin Schulz Uwaga Marka jest słuszna i powinniśmy o tym przypominać o fakcie że zachodni alianci nie wywiązali się ze swoich zobowiązań. Inna sprawa że byliśmy naiwni.
Wystarczy gest, podziękowanie. Do dziś nie wiadomo dlaczego zginął Sikorski. Ciekawe dlaczego, hmm no tak, polityka jak to ująłeś. Skoro władze Polski w WB traktowane zostały jako te nieoficjalne to dlaczego zostały oddelegowane do WYZNACZENIA jednostki reprezentującej nasz kraj? Przecież to świadczy jedynie o głupocie brytoli. Wkład Marynarki Polskiej czy weteranów którzy osiedlili się na stałe w WB. Byli wrogami politycznymi co jednak przeszkadzało w zaproszeniu ich czy wojsk walczących we Francji czy spadochroniarzy z Holandii? Polskim lotników owszem zaproszono jednak pomijając ww. jednostki. Dodatkowo kazano im wypierdalać. Ciekawostką jest tez zatuszowanie "protestu" lotników RAF'u na stanowisku rządu WB w sprawie Polaków. Pomijając fakt jak traktowano weteranów. Z drugiej strony skoro to wina systemu panującego w naszym kraju w tamtych czasach to czy odpowiedzialni za to nie sa ci sami ludzie, którzy w 39 r. wystawili nas rzucając uloteczkami? Dlaczego obecne władze przeprosiły naszych rodaków za grzech z przeszłości? To się nie klei. Proszę wytłumacz mi, mój mistrzu skoro zjadłeś wszystkie rozumy świata.
A najciekawszy jest fakt (o którym nie wspomniano), że do chwili obecnej ORP Błyskawica jest najlepiej uzbrojonym okrętem Polskiej Marynarki Wojennej. Przykre, ale prawdziwe...
Trying to read subtitles to know what I am looking at while trying to see those details is not a good idea. The ship from what I could see was the single best preserved and displayed WW II era ship I have ever seen. Will watch again with sound and CC off I guess to reduce headache
This video confirms something a friend and I have discussed in the past, whether or not the Germans had DDs during WWII. Since it appears that the Kriegsmarine did operate DDs during WWII, how long will it be before we start seeing them in game, I'd be curious to see how they'd stack up against USN, IJN, & Russian DDs.
Dzięki firmie Wargaming za spopularyzowanie naszego okrętu. Nota bene ciężko pewnie obcokrajowcom wypowiedzieć słowo Błyskawica. Nie dziwie się, że Polski język uważany jest za jeden z najtrudniejszych na świecie ( sam nie wiem czy się cieszyć czy smucić z tego powodu )
'le Avkovskyy As long as it's an optional refit I could see it being a useful option But she's still very powerful right now, I certainly no problems playing it
Here is a ship that sailed with her in the 10th destroyer flotilla that fought to protect the D-day landings. The HMCS Haida. If you ever get a chance, be sure to visit the last surviving tribal class destroyer of WWII at Hamilton Ontario, Canada. Lets hope the Haida will join the Blyskawica soon, as a premium in WOWS ruclips.net/video/uEIpQXxgDlM/видео.html
@@thaurgurth Actually it's be Bwyh-skah-vee-tza. The "h" at the end of the vowels somehow forces the English speakers to pronounce them like we pronounce them in Polish. I know, it's weird.
I know that this is old movie. I have never been on Błyskawica, although I've been at this place many times. Always - queue too long or closed for maintenance. I know that this is old ship. But this is work of a butcher to slaughter so many parts of this ship. I feel sad for this ship and treatment that she got over all those years.
why the ship in real life has 8 turrets and in game 7? it makes no sense the frontal one has 2 not 1 i mean you could make a hull for the turret that has been added later
I do know how to on the PC but this is in regards to everyone out there that use mobile devices. We kind of get the short end of the stick with this, and a lot of people don't have access to a computer while they do have access to a mobile device of some sort. It's very annoying when you want to find out about the history of these ships, especially when they take the time to set something like this up with this native experts and don't just edit them into the videos for everyone to see. Subtitle systems can be changed of course, but the video won't, as long as they don't take it down. 😕
I wonder why ship crew speak polish in this video. They're polish navy officers and they speak english very well so I not quite understand WG intention.
British Cruisers AND Battleships and German Battleships ... when they come .... NEVER first we put Russo Sovjiet shit into the game cuz we hate west eu....!!!! A SHIP GAME WITHOUT BRITISH SHIPS ISNT A SHIP GAME !
+The Mighty General CH13F The Lesta studio is located in Petersburg Russia,so it was easier for them to collect data and come up with a full ru line. I have read somewhere how much time it takes to make a new branch and it is half to even 1 year.We can only wait :)
Beautiful condition for such an old ship! Well done Poland!
its the oldest remaining destroyer
+Sir Moke Thank you

Ja też pozdro :D. Może chcesz się spotkać (lenny face)
Ale że co że jak? :)

Thank you for this short and super informative documentary video. I am very glad to see people get educated of the most important history through the modern games.
Great idea. Great effort. Great video. WGE many thanks for promoting this beautiful ship alongside with a bit of Polish history.
Lol when the polish guy was talking I knew exactly what he was saying because I'm polish too. Didn't even need subtitles.

Good job, here and in game.
*salute!*
It was a pleasure sir. Challenger
Heh, glad to see your reply ^^
By the way, when she will be available in shop ?
Aaaaa...Błyskawica the best destroyer when I seen. I live in Poland and sometimes I want drive to Gdynia and see the ORP Błyskawica.
mieszkam koło Gdyni ;) co łikend jeżdżę oglądać błyskawice jest śliczna polecam
It's nice that they let them talk without someone talking over them
Great ship, very well preserved. Great job Polish Navy !
Saw more combat than the entire Russian Fleet.
What?
🤣😂🤣
SOMEONE HERE LEFT OUT HISTORY LESSONS RUSSIA DIDN'T HAVE A NAVY AT THAT TIME
Awesome !!! A living proof of history !!!
Aaaaand we are live!
Now?!

She's a beauty
She is also twinned with the HMCS Haida, whos a museum ship in Hamilton, that she served alongside during the war
A najciekawszy jest fakt (o którym nie wspomniano), że do chwili obecnej ORP Błyskawica jest najlepiej uzbrojonym okrętem Polskiej Marynarki Wojennej. Przykre, ale prawdziwe...
No chyba nie. Maleńki okręt rakietowy typu Orkan mógłby zniszczyć 8 Błyskawic z dystansu 100 km.
Just love Richard, he's such a lad!

polish ship is a national pride
This video could be more perfect only on one condition. Dasha presence.
One of my favourite YT channel!!!
Ein super Schiff!
Thank you.
Seriously i really enjoy your Inside The Ships / Tanks Videos.
Could you make a Inside The Ships CV Video?
Cheers!
make polish dystroyers line pls :-)
My guy, Poland didnt had much destroyers, but now they can make them going from swedish dd's
Yep this ship had o good fight with germas, like british RAF.
More Inside the ships, please !!!
My great grandfather was the commander of this ship, so awesome to see videos like this.
Will there be a short film about Blyskawica's honourary sister HMCS Haida?

Would be fantastic to get some kind of story behind the IJN Mogami. She was a amazing and active, ship.
Her sisters were very unlucky, most notably Kumano
good job
dear wargaming can i ask is there gonna be italian navy in
maybe like premium ships or somethings???
so i have a question. Why is there a weight discrepancy between the 2 propellers? Is it just a manufacturing discrepancy or is it intentional?
Probably avoiding steering to much on one side (left or right). You know, two big rotating turbines... it works like propeller of ww2 airplane.
There is also a nice history about ORP ORZEL (eng. ORP EAGLE) Polish submarine.
it's a good thing I decided to learn polish before I watched this video
Turn on subtitles.
Please add 1941 hull with 16,5 km range 8x102 mm cannons..
That would be OP as hell Why?? AFT could make it shot longer range than most mid tier cruisers like Aoba Cleveland and Omahas
+Nanchisan Nanchisan they could balance it in the other way for example: raise detectibility, reduce hp, or make arch shit.
+'le Avkovskyy That would be awful, better to just stick with what it has right now since you can up the range anyway
more players would buy it imo they could choose beetwen dmg and fires
'le Avkovskyy As long as it's an optional refit I could see it being a useful option
But she's still very powerful right now, I certainly no problems playing it
Today I have BUY it !!!
Not Bought?
My father was on this boat during WW2 ....
DEGUELDRE Roger *salute*
DEGUELDRE Roger - So was mine :-)
And my uncle was on ORP Burza.
Y'all forgot she took part in operation Dynamo. She might be the only surviving ship that took part in Operations Dynamo, Torch and Overlord...
10:47 smycz Arki Gdynia
awesome video
White built, right built. JSW first contractor to the admiralty, fastest ships in the fleet.
British designed ships were so good they forgot to add the sinking function
awesome vid
yes indeed
Good history!!
well done
When the polish naval officer was talking I kinda expected a translation/subtitles. Hey can't have everything.

kto z polski to oglada ? xd
at least they could have translated the polish parts, was interested but unfortunatelly i dont know polish :(
Turn on CC
yeah PL army
It's pronounced bwiskavitsa
I'd say Bwyh-skah-vee-tza.
Why are there no subtittles?
Click CC

no sub titles?
Go to captions it is actually subtitles
RUclips put the harder to identify name because reasons
Is dis free???
Witam Polaków :D
no dzien dobry dobry

Next time burn the subtitles in the video for non english languages. Mobile viewers would really appreciate it :)
Just turn the CC on 🤷♂️
@@KarsonNow you do realise 5 years ago that was not an option on phones?
strange boat
why the ship in real life has 8 turrets and in game 7? it makes no sense the frontal one has 2 not 1 i mean you could make a hull for the turret that has been added later
Those are eight 4-inch dual purpose (anti-ship and anti-aircraft) guns. The original are seven 5-inch anti-ship guns. That's why.
"Błysia"
English sub-titles please
gib clay
They speak polish in some parts of the vid so no need for translators lol
ah, so thats how you pronounce it.
Nah, he butchered it. Actually it's Bwyh-skah-vee-tza.
polacy najlepsze niszczyciele budowali aż do 1944.
Co ? xD
pod okupacją budowali ?
A wiesz że Błyskawica nie była budowana w polsce ?
koku poczytaj trochę książek... jeśli wiesz co to takiego!!!!!!!!1
1. Jak mogli budować do 1944 skoro stoczni nie mieli?
2. Polskie niszczyciele budowali nam Francuzi i Brytole jakbyś nie wiedział.
