    Extra historical fact: The three german heavies went through the channel with minimal damage. before both battleships struck mines, and Eugen lost her sturn to a submarine torpedo.
    Eugen was actually given over to the US when the Germans surrendered, and the crew spent time teaching the Americans how to care for the finiky, but very capable, German Equipment. The Americans couldn't be bothered to, however, so she had to be towed to Bikini atoll due to already having broken due to the American crew not giving the ship the special care it needed.

      Tldr: KMS ships equipment breaks if left unantended.
      Gneisenau's fate was sealed after getting bombed during an Harbor Strike and Austrian Moustache Mans order to scrap the Surface ships after an botched Convoy attack in 1943 where all ships beached. Gneisenau's wreck was used an blockade in 1945 and was removed by the allies in two years.
      Scharnhorts fate was in 1944 where she met HMS Belfast and HMS Duke of York.

      @@42meep13 I mean yes, but that was during the war. After the war they had such a massive excess of ships that they had to immediately mothball or scrap the vast majority of them. As for giving it to west Germany that’s not a bad idea, but it probably would’ve made the French, British and Soviets pretty angry. The French were particularly opposed to the rearmament of west Germany. They didn’t even like the Germans commanding their own mine sweeper forces to remove all the leftover mines from the war.

    As someone who was in one of these channel dashes not too long ago it was incredibly underwhelming as the British to the point where regular war thunder seemed fun only thing that stood out was the visuals at the start of the game

      If you're asking how you can live like that in the game, it's because structural damage isn't modeled in War Thunder. Death is only determined by crew loss or flooding percentage, which you can counter with a high crew level and good damage control. Still, that's the most torpedoes I've seen anything survive in War Thunder by like a factor of 3.

      @@TheAnnoyingF2P half the time ships get one shot. I guess the battleships are significantly better against torpedoes than the cruisers.
