Graf Spee was tricked into believing that a larger fleet was coming. As they could not stay in the port forever according to laws of war the captain evacuated his crew and scuttled it. The captain of the Graf Spee was no nazi, and his crew was more important to him then his own fate.
This is a popular story but is not correct. Graf Spee was scuttled because it could not be repaired in time to allow it to get back to a friendly port.
She's technically an armored cruiser because even though she is of a WWII cruiser displacement with heavy cruiser armor, but she mounts light capital ship weapon systems. It would be cool to see these ships in a tech tree or as premiums like you said. Pocket battleship was a political term. If you told the public the Germans have launched cruiser surface raiders that does not get everyone's attention when you include the word "battleship". The term was like the Cold War's "through deck cruisers" which were light carriers but saying the word carrier carried geopolitical ramifications that European and Soviet nations wanted to avoid. It's interesting studying the diplomatic language of those eras.
Feral Lion It truly was a most interesting class of ships, designed to defeat any faster ship but outrun any contemporary battlecruiser or batteship, and blessed with a great range thanks to her diesel propulsion. It didn't work that well against the improved ships in WW2, however.
Well pocket battleship is a lot more justified than "cruisers that can launch straight wing aircraft." since it was equipped with battleship/battlecruiser level guns. Though yes it is actually essentially an armored cruiser and acted much like one. Raiding and patrolling like a cruiser but engaged much like a battlecruiser; run away against stronger opponent but catch up to weaker ones. The Germans even called it such with the term "armored ship." I would have argue against the armor though. I would say cruiser level armor in general. Heavy and light cruiser during the inter-war had similar protection level. Main difference was armament caliber. Armor difference didn't come around until after the treaty expired resulting in better protected cruisers. If you were to compare Deutschland class with Baltimore and the likes, Deutschland's armor stand no chance.
"Ex-EE-ter"? What's the native language of the narrator? He sounds like a native North American English-speaking person. He has to know that you pronounce it "Ex-ih-ter"...
He is saying it wrong,but I have never heard anyone from these parts say it so. . . laboured? as he does.He almost sounds like a computer voice when he says the name.
Common American English doesn't pronounce it the way he is. Certain cultural, regional, state, or even city dialects might. I think he's using international English to pronounce it so it's generally understood by all English primary dialects (American, Australian, etc). Because the ship originated in Britain that would be the correct origin pronunciation but how other countries pronounce it would not be incorrect as it reflects their own way of speaking.
I caught that too... there have been other names he slaughtered, though they are not coming to mind right now. I was thinking he was a Russian who just has otherwise great diction.
Does this american accented narrator just have no fucking clue as to how to pronounce these words?!?! Screwed up Vickers and Exeter so far. vEEkers, and EEkseter, lol. I am an american and know how the annunciation conventions are, and for both accents they are the same in this case. Edit: Uruguayan, not Uruguayanian.
You need to make an alternative branch for British cruisers which has all 3 heavy cruiser class lead ships. What I mean is for an alternative British cruiser branch with heavy cruisers instead of light cruisers.
Uhhhh while what u said wasn't exactly false it really wasn't correct either. The Graf spee didn't go to port because of the Leander's, it was because the Exeter damaged the fuel filtration system. Graf spee wasn't scuttled because she was afraid of the light cruisers, she was tricked into thinking that BC renown was waiting for her.
I got a Premium ship idea USS Montpellier tier 6 Cleveland like it has a perm 6km Hydro, Five second reload main guns, good fire chance, higher HP then Cleveland but an easier to hit citadel, and good detection. I think it's great but correct me on stuff if you want to have
in case, WG shall never making make a difference between premium ship's hull citadel if they about the exactly same class ship but the less/more armor depend on historical ofc(never be like Yamato had buff 1kn for nerfing 30mm armor deck)
an absolutely flawless model. whoever built her should be damned proud of their work.
Really beautiful model, one of the best I've seen.

I'd love to see the "Admiral Graf Spee" in WoWs.
t6 premium cruiser maybe, because of the guns.

WG is working on it.
Deadpool: "You named your ship after a soap dishwasher!"
and here i thought I was the only one that remembered...good one sir~

@Nameless Entity Maybe you're right, could be software created.

I'm a " North American English-speaking person" and I've never heard anyone pronounce it ex-ee-ter before.
Hey! I think if you sell model ships of this game, everyone of us will buy it. Models for collectors and gamers of WOWs.
Hey World of warships team,
Your Game is awesome so funny and cool and your youtuber vids are the best 😜
Just needed to Say 😂
Wargaming Europe has these same videos, only in the metric system, for all the WoWS fans that use metric.

OK, Wargaming, listen here carefully, YOU FORGOT TO CREATE THE ROYAL NAVY'S BATTLESHIP TECH TREE, if you think we have forgotten you are mistaken.
I want my HMS Nelson
Still being worked on. They have announced it is going to be added soon. Just not sure when.
I suppose 2017
Speaking of Graf Spee.. WHY ISNT IT IN THE DAMN GAME?!
still looking for HMS Duke of York. Anson, and also maybe Ark Royal
Ooh a model? I love models!
Would love to see some RN premiums with the lines coming out soon.
Finally, a British ship.
HMS Francis
thought about commenting this when seeing the video title.

I love the Leander class. Terrific ships that saw plenty of action in WW2

the motto is "everyone's fun"
not to p2w WG's dreamworks
+Edward R less armor and bigger citadel?
in case, WG shall never making make a difference between premium ship's hull citadel if they about the exactly same class ship but the less/more armor depend on historical ofc(never be like Yamato had buff 1kn for nerfing 30mm armor deck)
wait wat? ajax? it reminds me of smth tho lmao.
I like the part where they turn on the fog generator to drape the model in vapor. #420BlazeNaziShips
I'm m happy to not see a ussr ship in this eposode
yet another piece of historical relevance that the royal navy decided to send to the breakers
Eagerly awaiting the arrival of this monster .
- THX WG
I hope all this talk about the Ajax means the next line will be the British
I always enjoy this video series.
"Ex-EE-ter," though?
THERE IS NOT SUCH THING AS POCKET BATTLESHIP FFS
Man when is INS Delhi coming in blitz
My Great Grandad served on this ship!
The commentator guy sounds so bored.
What a piece of art! WELL DONE!
Admiral Graf Spee, WG!!
Add her to the game!!!
HMS FRANCIS!!!
eyy booiiz Vive Les Francais! >:3
man! they did so many 1:42 scale but only little to none is in the game
Where's Francis?! *torpedoes to sturd*
Where is the museum ?
Lol those Quad Vickers 12.7mm AA guns are ABSOLUTELY SHIT! Molotov has either 2 or 4 of those QUAD mounts, and it adds up to 5 DPS at 1.2km!
Oh, the HMS Francis
Can't lost this one
Finally not a Russian ship.
Hms Francis...
Ex-see-ter?
hahaha lol ajax is also a football club and I support it😂😂😂
