A couple of facts that many do not know.

George King That's suprisingly new, because from my sources, Documentaries state both Hood and Bismarck were equal 15 inches, or Bismarck having a more Powerful gun. But I guess you can't always trust documentaries can you? Thanks for the fact, I actually did not know that.
maybe, but remember that the Bismarck was a Battleship and he was reinforced, that makes the Bismarck too much resistant than HMS Hood and becouse of that Bismarck was a superior ship
You should explain what the hell is the game,so many idiots complaining about the historical inaccuracies..for God's sake,people can do whatever they want in this
The Bismarck sank the Hood, not the Hood sank the Bismarck. I think the Hood was sunk with the third salvo from the Bismarck. They had just started firing at each other.
There are reports that the shell which detonated the Hoods magazine actually came from Prinz Eugen and not Bismark but in the confusion of battle, who knows for sure... Hood fired first as the German Admiral, Lutjens, wanted to avoid an engagement but the ships captain, Capt Lindemann, ordered to return fire on the british warships saying, "I will not allow my ship to be shot out from under my arse. Open fire!"
roythearcher That does make a lot of sense towards confusion. After all, Bismarck and Prinz Eugen had very similar silhouettes and profiles, and also made the British mistakenly target the first ship(Prinz Eugen) as traditionally, a Battleship would lead the formation.
People in the comments really don't get the fact that this is a game not a documentary on how Hood was sunk. The fact of the matter is the shot that sunk Hood, be it from Prinz Eugen or Bismarck was a one in a million shot and if they engaged in a straight up gun duel the more likely victors are the British, Bismarck is not invincible.... Not even close...
HMS Hood put up a great battle against the Germans but yet rind up to a watery grave. Only 3 men survive the flaming wreckage of the HMS Hood. Days later it was the proud Bismarck turned to go to a watery grave as well.
Glo Gang. The battle wouldn't, actually, it never will, Hood seem brand new, but it was created in WWI, it wasn't capable of defeating a WWII era warship, it is super weak to long range and shots that went down on it perfectly, King of Wales, is brand new and had 2 quad and 1 twin, but they are very easy to malfunction, so it is brand new, it was under power at launch. Bismarck on the other hand had 15 inch guns, the Royal Navy could attack her with every thing, including the prince of wale, Rodney, and King George, it would be approximately 2 days until the Bismarck was truly destroyed
Mr MacDougall, were you there? As far as I can recall, only 3 men survived the explosion. It was attributed to a hit in the ready ammunition for the anti-aircraft batteries over the rear magazine puncturing a hole down to the cordite store. She was built at the end of WW 1 that's true but using the lessons learned at Jutland, she was much improved. Had the war not started when it did, Hood was due for refit where ironically, she'd have lost some AAA artillery and gained much tougher deck armour. By the way, she WASN'T a heavy cruiser, she was a battle cruiser! Battle-ship guns on a less armoured hull, hopefully giving her power and speed!
malcolm macdougall Hood wouldn't have been sunk "every time". In fact. Hood was scheduled for a refit and fortification. Which would have made her an equal challenge to almost any ship she encounters in her time.

Which ever result you would like , the one that happened or this one . HMS Hood was used the wrong way . She should have been used like a Cruiser not a Battleship . Remember the action by Exeter / Ajax and Achilles at the Battle of the River Plate . In that action they acted like Destroyers and split the enemy fire . Hood should have weaved about all over the place and messed Bismarck's fire control. If anything King George V should have been with Prince of Wales and Hood and Rodney should have got together as a follow up . Along with the Cruisers Norfolk and Suffolk and Force H and Victorious that should have been more than enough to take Bismarck out earlier and probably with fewer souls lost on our side at least . Our Admiral's still fought battles like they did in World War 1 . And 1415 crew of Hood plus Prince of Wales's lost crew in the battle paid the ultimate price. As for Hood's loss . My guess is that Bismarck sank the Hood . But i think that the shell that finished Hood might have been fired from the Prinz Eugen which caused the fire on the boat deck , that may have weakened the ship enough so when Bismarck hit her it would have been enough to set off the magazines . If true then its the only time that a Capital ship has been taken down by a Cruiser by guns . But then again Bismarck's shell might have gone into the magazine anyway . Because of the complete destruction of the Hood's aft section from main mast to behind Y turret we will never know .
"and probably with fewer souls lost on our side at least . " What's that sick shit? Sailors are sailors, no matter on which side! Most of them were young sailors who had to go to war. The battle was stupid, like the whole war. The English navy was better in numbers. 5:10; 1:10? However, when people die in the war, even though they did not want the war, it's always shit, no matter on which SIDE!
@@adamtruong1759 No Hood was a Battle cruiser faster than a Battleship but thinner armour but with same calibre guns should have been used in hit and run tactics against Bismarck with rapid movement.

Hood and PoW were much closer to Bismark and PE in this video. Bismarks plunging fire from long range penetrated Hoods magazine. This was because Hood had a turtleback armour scheme which works better at closer ranges. Prinz Eugen sinking is fair enough as she was a Heavy Cruiser but Bismark was unlucky to get detonated. Pretty sure only the Nelson Class had guns powerful enough to do that to a Bismark
The Brits considered the Nelson's guns a failure. The 15"/42 caliber was much more accurate. It's AP shell weighed a ton. Nothing to dismiss! Using the same gun, Warspite scored the longest hit in a surface action ever recorded! (Google HMS Warspite for the details.) Fact, Churchill wanted the King George V class battleships armed with 9 16" guns in three triple turrets. This would have added two years to their construction time, as they needed to develop a new 16" gun. (Which they did to be used on the Lion class.) One of my favorite"what ifs" in history is this... ...instead of using the 14" or 16" guns, they had instead designed a triple turret for the very reliable 15"/42 caliber Naval gun they already had. Not only an excellent gun, but it would have simplified logistics, as ALL their other Capitol Ships, except the Nelsons, used the same gun. So they would have used the same shells. There is some fine artwork of how the Lion Class would have looked, had they been built. The KGVs were good looking ships as well. Imagine them with the symmetry of three triple turrets. This also would have gave them one more gun than Hood, the Revenge and Queen Elizabeth classes, and three more than the Repulse class. These would have been deadly battleships! All moot now, of course, but it remains one of my favorite "what ifs".
From historical perspective is just wrong how is this made Yes the British fired the first shots but they could only use the bow guns The hood was sunk in the 4th or maybe 5th salvo because Holland closed the distance and opened his side to open all 4 turrets He wanted to prevent plunging fire from Bismarck but he wasn’t fast enough
I think you shows more realistic not actually what happened but more realistic what could have happened had the Bismarck not landed the magic BB hit on the hood the hood was just a little bit more resistant to battle damaged then what a lot of people give her credit for although she still was not up to a battleship class again more realistic of what could have happened
Fuck it off! I know these is a game! But You can’t just see he was being inaccurate history and also the game didn’t say about sure to follow the history Timeline their roads! at least some of ships did to followed their history!
Yes, likely Hood would have taken a few more hits (perhaps losing some of her guns, or- if hit at a slightly different angle a few seconds after/before- even starboard outboard engine) but Prince of Wales also continuing her excellent shooting unabated with more Hits on Bismarck. Even with Hood possibly losing speed from engineroom damage, by this point her own guns (and the torpedo she in fact nearly hit Bismarck with) would be ranged on target, and the British cruisers would be landing salvos on both German ships. Likely outcome would be Hood in dock for at least a year between repairs and upgrades, and Prince of Wales (as well as Suffolk and/or Norfolk) roughed up, but Bismarck and Prinz Eugen both sunk. In any case though, damn fine shooting by Bismarck, even if luck produced the precise result
500mahmud: That's why gunnery computers were used in WW2. Also, the gunnery officers and crews trained hard for that exact situation! Gunnery is a skill.
Add that the Bismarck was unmanouverable , and it took them 3 hours and the Hood blew in 5 minutes, also count that the British required the whole fleet to sink a single ship
@@victormanuelmbisbee9743 First shots fired on the morning of 27th May 1941 were at 08 :57, Bismarck's guns were all silenced by 09 :25, and she sank at 10 :40.
The Bismarck had been able to sink the Prince of Wales, too, to doube its success. The loss of thd Bismarck later on was just bad luck. Without rudder no warship would work......
Yes my child, yes you did. I wish i didn't see it, but we rest peacefully at the bottom of the atlantic with my flag floating and going down strong, Bismarck And Prenz Eugen forever and more, be at peace at ladt
I am quite sure that the British Royal Navy wish that they could have sunk both Bismarck and Prinz Eugen during the Battle of the Denmark Straits. But, sorry Jack Tar, it didn't happen that way. Neither Prince of Wales or Hood scored any hits on Prinz Eugen. And the Prince of Wales scored any damaging hits on Bismarck. (But not enough to sink her/him). Hood didn't land not one hit on Bismarck. I don't like historical revisionism. Some kid, playng this gme, who knows little or nothing about The Battle of the Denmark Straits will think that this is how it went down. (For you know that they don't teach kids JACK about history in school any more). So, "Mate," if you blokes are going to show Hood VS Bismarck, swallow your British pride for a minute, and show it how it REALLY happened. Now, don't get me wrong, HMS Hood was a great battle-cruiser. And she would have been more than a match for DKM Scharnhorst, DKM Gneusenau, IJN Kirishima, DKM Admiral Graf Spee, or any of the other assorted, battle-cruisers and cruisers. But, she, with that thin deck armor was just no match for DKM Bismarck.
Pretty sure they should fact check their view of the battle. Prinz E. was not a flaming wreak and Bismarck only took a few hits. Hood also took hits but did not slide under gracefully by the stern, she was blown to pieces and sank in moments. Work on it!
Fuck it off! I know these is a game! But You can’t just see he was being inaccurate history and also the game didn’t say about sure to follow the history Timeline their roads! at least some of ships did to followed their history!
One hit to the magazine and it was game over there was salvos but it was hit once and the hood was obliterated. Was just a lucky shot hood probably would of kicked bismarks ass.
Something is terribly wrong. The Hood never hit the Bismarck. The Hood fired three times and missed before the Bismarck fired its first round. The Bismarck missed the first time but her more modern sights the Bismarck adjusted and the next round hit the Tower on the Hood actually where the 3 survivors of the Hood were at. After that the Bismarck hit the Hood and the shell went into the lower decks Then she was hit again. But the next hit was the one that doomed the great Ship. The salvo arched perfectly into the middle of the ship in magazine and caused a explosion that ripped the Hood in half causing the deaths of all but 3 of the crew. It was the Prince of Wales that hit the Bismarck three times and caused the ship to be almost inoperable. Her rudder and fuel system were damaged. I have never figured out why the Prinze Eugen didn't take on the Prince of Wales while the Bismarck and the Hood were at each other. I believe the Priniz Eugen is where the footage of the battle was taken from.
I don’t call this a far battle you could have made it realistic and not had Bismarck and prinz urgen not sink this is not a good battle at all do it again but make germans win like real life cause this is horrible
Jesus Christ, it is a bloody game, it is not supposed to be historically accurate, ffs. You want historically accuracy? Go and read a library of books, that is what they are for.
Fuck it! I know these is a game! But You can’t just see he was being inaccurate history and also the game didn’t say about sure to follow the history at least some of ships did to followed their history!
AAA bro es un juego con mecánicas realistas , en la guerra Marina es cuestión de suerte si hacertas o no (se ve claro que el Bismarck a cierta todas sus proyectiles , porque tiene buen sistema de apuntado ), yo he jugado el juego y me hundi al hood con solo dos disparos (lo penetre ) , obvio en este caso los disparos del renown, lo penetraron al Bismarck, y por causa del fuego causó como do o tres explosiones debilitando el casco demasiado .
@@perkunas8651: "And most important: A naval victory for the Bismarck and the Prinz Eugen." And more importantly, only for three days! After three days it became a cathastophale defeat for the Bismack and the Germans.
Most incorrect! The Prinz Eugen received not a single hit. If she was hit by only one single shell, she would be gone! The Hood did not score a single hit on the Bismarck! All of the Hoods shells failed to hit the Bismarck! Only the Prince of Wales scored 3 hits. Whereas the Hood received a direct hit into an ammunition storage with the 3rd salvo of the Bismarck.
That chain of explosions on Bismarck is pretty much what happened to Hood. She's in three pieces on the sea bed.

This Is A Nice Game But The Ship's Are To Uncontrollable For Me Ang The Firing System Of The Ship Of Turrent Is So Very Slow To Fire At Your Enemies

Ey put Argentine supert Etendart against British Sheffield !!!!!
Wrong way round

Yes my child, yes you did. I wish i didn't see it, but we rest peacefully at the bottom of the atlantic with my flag floating and going down strong, Bismarck And Prenz Eugen forever and more, be at peace at ladt
Thank you, now let's sleep while the other modern ships dream about going to war.
*REVENGE*
I am quite sure that the British Royal Navy wish that they could have sunk both Bismarck and Prinz Eugen during the Battle of the Denmark Straits. But, sorry Jack Tar, it didn't happen that way. Neither Prince of Wales or Hood scored any hits on Prinz Eugen. And the Prince of Wales scored any damaging hits on Bismarck. (But not enough to sink her/him). Hood didn't land not one hit on Bismarck. I don't like historical revisionism. Some kid, playng this gme, who knows little or nothing about The Battle of the Denmark Straits will think that this is how it went down. (For you know that they don't teach kids JACK about history in school any more). So, "Mate," if you blokes are going to show Hood VS Bismarck, swallow your British pride for a minute, and show it how it REALLY happened. Now, don't get me wrong, HMS Hood was a great battle-cruiser. And she would have been more than a match for DKM Scharnhorst, DKM Gneusenau, IJN Kirishima, DKM Admiral Graf Spee, or any of the other assorted, battle-cruisers and cruisers. But, she, with that thin deck armor was just no match for DKM Bismarck.
It’s a video game chill out
Oof i dead
Pretty sure they should fact check their view of the battle.
Prinz E. was not a flaming wreak and Bismarck only took a few hits. Hood also took hits but did not slide under gracefully by the stern, she was blown to pieces and sank in moments. Work on it!
Fuck it off! I know these is a game! But You can’t just see he was being inaccurate history and also the game didn’t say about sure to follow the history Timeline their roads! at least some of ships did to followed their history!
Unsinn

One hit to the magazine and it was game over there was salvos but it was hit once and the hood was obliterated. Was just a lucky shot hood probably would of kicked bismarks ass.
English bias
Just a game.
Something is terribly wrong. The Hood never hit the Bismarck. The Hood fired three times and missed before the Bismarck fired its first round. The Bismarck missed the first time but her more modern sights the Bismarck adjusted and the next round hit the Tower on the Hood actually where the 3 survivors of the Hood were at. After that the Bismarck hit the Hood and the shell went into the lower decks Then she was hit again. But the next hit was the one that doomed the great Ship. The salvo arched perfectly into the middle of the ship in magazine and caused a explosion that ripped the Hood in half causing the deaths of all but 3 of the crew. It was the Prince of Wales that hit the Bismarck three times and caused the ship to be almost inoperable. Her rudder and fuel system were damaged. I have never figured out why the Prinze Eugen didn't take on the Prince of Wales while the Bismarck and the Hood were at each other. I believe the Priniz Eugen is where the footage of the battle was taken from.
You too, stop being an idiot,people can do whatever they want on the game
I don’t call this a far battle you could have made it realistic and not had Bismarck and prinz urgen not sink this is not a good battle at all do it again but make germans win like real life cause this is horrible
Not true Prinz Eugen returned to Germany
Benediction IT'S A GAME
it's a game where you control the battle of the atlantic. you can make it go any way you want. it's alternate history.
not wows..
Jesus Christ, it is a bloody game, it is not supposed to be historically accurate, ffs. You want historically accuracy? Go and read a library of books, that is what they are for.
Fuck it! I know these is a game! But You can’t just see he was being inaccurate history and also the game didn’t say about sure to follow the history at least some of ships did to followed their history!
Well, clearly a wishful fantasy........No relation to the truth or historical accuracy.. Video game for kids . Waste of time.........
Tu video juego es absurdo y ridiculo en el resultado
AAA bro es un juego con mecánicas realistas , en la guerra Marina es cuestión de suerte si hacertas o no (se ve claro que el Bismarck a cierta todas sus proyectiles , porque tiene buen sistema de apuntado ), yo he jugado el juego y me hundi al hood con solo dos disparos (lo penetre ) , obvio en este caso los disparos del renown, lo penetraron al Bismarck, y por causa del fuego causó como do o tres explosiones debilitando el casco demasiado .
another worthless video game. The Germans were facing the OTHER direction. The rate of fire is wrong. WHY cant you make these games REAL???????????//
And most important: A naval victory for the Bismarck and the Prinz Eugen.
Because you idiots don't even know that players can do whatever they want on this
@@perkunas8651: "And most important: A naval victory for the Bismarck and the Prinz Eugen."
And more importantly, only for three days!
After three days it became a cathastophale defeat for the Bismack and the Germans.
Wasn Schwachsinn!

Historically, VERY INACCURATE......
it’s a game
Most incorrect! The Prinz Eugen received not a single hit. If she was hit by only one single shell, she would be gone! The Hood did not score a single hit on the Bismarck! All of the Hoods shells failed to hit the Bismarck! Only the Prince of Wales scored 3 hits. Whereas the Hood received a direct hit into an ammunition storage with the 3rd salvo of the Bismarck.
Stop being an idiot,this is a game, and players can do whatever they want on this game
It's a game dude
