@@SlavaUkraini345 Zuiho is sister to the Shoho, which, historically, was involved in early war operations in the area. That absolutely was NOT the Taiyo.
The most realistic battle so far! Both sides had a mixture of good and bad luck, meticulous and sporadic maneuver, highlight moments of individual ships, but in the end a great victory for Wolfpack.
ENTERPRISE!!! GOOD OL' BIG E!! CV-6!! THE GREATEST OF THEM ALL!!! Second most decorated ship in US history, right after Ironsides herself! She had an incredible service record and even received commendations from the Royal Navy! She was in almost every major carrier action of the war, and was at times the only operational US carrier in the pacific. Her crushing defeat of the IJN alongside her sister ships Hornet and Yorktown will forever be remembered as the finest hour of the USN. I fell in love with her while playing battlestations pacific as a young lad. She's my favorite carrier and an American hero, so treat her well Wolf! I'll be watching from the sidelines and cheering you on!
I served on a gearing class destroyer which was commissioned in 1944, they were a lot like the Fletcher but had more guns. It's fun to watch the action. Never take a tin can for garnet they sting hard.
The most amazing battle yet! I knew when I saw that CV at the end of the last one we were in for a treat. Those brave boys on the Livermore will never be forgotten, with the Colorado so low on ammo it was then only way to take the Kongo out of the fight.
This was one hell of an engagement! The way you described the intro, with the Enterprise and Colorado moving in to engage a Japanese Carrier and Battleship, i knew this was gonna be one Epic battle!
The Kongo class are basically still battlecruisers. The armor upgrade they got wasn't enough to even adequately protect against what _cruisers_ were firing at the time and whenever they went up against something that could actually land hits on them (they _were_ rather quick for their size) they suffered badly.
Talk about intense, you had that well managed even though the 'seat of the pants', feeling was there. A supremely entertaining video. You raised the bar far on this one! Cheers.
@@firestorm165 reminds me of the Battle of Wake Island when Wildcats bombed a destroyer and hit the depth charges or torpedoes then set off a chain reaction sinking the ship
Christmas came early! A second episode in 2 days! And at the cost of one DD and 7 aircraft, you sank almost the entire fleet! I'd take that any day. Maybe you could use some command points to buy an ammo ship to UNREP your task forces. It would be nice to have units swing out of battle to reload and do some repairs. Thanks for the bonus butt-kicking video. I needed it today!
Man! That was a blast! A real slugfest! Who needs to play the game? Just watch Wolfpack do his thing! I generally turn off the music in my sims but the music here really added to the whole battle experience.
I don't know about you Wolfpack345 but I was mighty glad when you reacquainted yourself with the carrier. Even more so when you sank her. You've spoilt us with two battles in two days so thanks. Today's was a real proper ding dong. I wish more would be like this. Edge of my seat stuff. 💣💣💣☠☠☠💣💣💣
Boy howdy...total battle...aircraft and surface ships...very nice! Definitely a great victory even though you lost a destroyer they lost MUCH more than that...get em back and get em patched up and re-armed...battle hardened troops/ships are worth their weight in gold! Keep em coming!!!!
I would not call the successful blockade of Guadalcanal by two surface task forces and the sinking of...twelve? I think? Destroyers a winning position.
2 fights in this LP have really grabbed me. The very first surface action in this LP (where you lost 3 destroyers sunk) along with this fight where Kongo is sunk. Really tough surface fights, totally re-creating the desperate fights IRL.
A battleship and a Light carrier in one battle, now that's a pretty good haul if ever I seen one. After that effort I think you earned yourself another Task Force, maybe even a speedy North Carolina to back up the Colorado.
Great battle Wolfpack, I really enjoyed watching it. Ammo managment in a heavy engagement like that can be pretty challenging. Especially when you start taking damage. Conservation tends to fly out the window in favor of survival.
Loved the video @Wolfpack345! Can't wait for the next video man! Nice to see you gun down the *Zuiho* in the Game man LMAO! Now all you need to worry about is 1 Shokaku-class Carrier, 1 Hiyo-class Light Fleet Carrier, 1 Shoho-class Light Carrier and the Ryujo.
I hope you're getting a kickback, cuz you're an amazing salesman. I picked this game up (and the mod) because of you. Loving every second of playing it.
What happened to Colorado in this fight is what happened to South Dakota in the 15 November 1942 battle at Guadalcanal. Her upper works were shredded by Japanese small caliber fire, and one hit on turret 3 by Kirishima. They rendered her combat ineffective without sinking her.
tbf irl, most naval commanders would have called off a landing if it was confirmed that a large enemy surface force was inbound, the only reason one wouldnt in this game is because landing troops/supplies is instantaneous unlike irl
31:43 That's a Chitose-class CVL, not a Taiyo-class CVE. Pretty inaccurate too, seeing as how the Chitose-class seaplane carriers didn't even begin conversion to CVLs until January 1943, and they didn't reenter service until December of that year.
WOW everything you could want in a battle - okay we didn't have search lights but what a battle - few p38s but they have 20 mm cannons and can do more damage than the .50 cal on the fighters. They have sunk merchant ships by themselves in my little TTE.
I must agree with the consensus of pretty much everybody else...The Colorado is only fast matched up with a sailboat and the Kongo must of had battleship sized floaties. Damage ultra-critical and flooding ridiculously critical. Heck it took more hits than a speed bag in boxing!
it is just a hypothesis but i think the kongo class battleship was the same that attack Australia or the airport next to Australia. The AI did not get it repaired and just brushed off the damage it has taken from the previous air raids. That is why it was easily taken out of the battle. Correct me if i am wrong.

'...including USS Colorado were closing in fast' Probably the first time a Standard battleship was ever, even accidentally, described as fast.
Specially a USA one, which were fairly well know for being rather slower than other countries counter-parts

Admiral wolfpack: we can't lose focus of the main objective.... Which is obviously to sink them all.
By all, he meant merchant ships, i suppose.
The moment I saw your surface fleet when you went to tactical with the planes, I knew it was gonna be a good one.
Two days in a row?!? Lets GOOOO
Surprise but a welcome one.

Watching 4 of the 5 most awarded ships of wwii in the same battle is making my inner history nerd happy.
Finally we got USS Enterprise. We love you Enterprise and God bless you.
Japan: we are winning finally!
Cv6 has joined the chat
Enterprise is the best goddamn ship in the USN
As soon as she went into action she got utilized in one of major battles of his playthrough.
This was one hell of an engagement! The way you described the intro, with the Enterprise and Colorado moving in to engage a Japanese Carrier and Battleship, i knew this was gonna be one Epic battle!
So it would seem that the carrier came in at a perfect time for some major action!
Just like Enterprise to show up and immediately kill a light carrier as a warmup
@@jacobtrowbridge7223 it wasn't even a snack
When the Big E enters the area, there is going to be a fight. She's here to do only two things...
"...and I'm all out of bubblegum." 🤣
Kongo's rear most magazine is right on top of her props that's why she was dead in the water
Kongo was pretty much dead in the water before that explosion.
The whole fleet was slow, because of the speed of Merchant units, every fleet with a Merchant unit is slow

What an engagement! And what a victory! Again kudos to the modders for upgrading the AI- now it seems to be very dangerous and almost had its way!
You should try to strafe Japanese DEs or DDs with fighters, it works brilliantly in damaging them or even sinking them
Used to love doing that back when I played Pacific Fighters. It was best to aim for the torpedo launchers, lit them up like Chinese new year
@@firestorm165 reminds me of the Battle of Wake Island when Wildcats bombed a destroyer and hit the depth charges or torpedoes then set off a chain reaction sinking the ship
He's done that several times before. There was an episode not too long ago where it mostly just him doing strafing runs on DDs.
This series is one of the best AARs for this game I've seen. I've learned a lot about naval roles and best-suited vessels for different engagements.

30:02 - * angry cargo ship noises * It's amasing how this one simply charge at amercan ships while other IJN warships sunk or running away.
The IJN aircraft carrier should be Zuihō-class.
Two videos in a row? This must be a gift from the god.

Absolutely glorious episode.
What a battle. This makes me quite excited about how it will go from now on I mean you must have sunk all the heavy ships by now
In binoculars I believe you can press space or alt to lock onto a ship with your camera
What a fight. If only you had time to launch more planes. Get rid of that Colorado and get a fast battleship instead. Very enjoyable series Wolfpak
HEY! Respect the old girl.
Yeah. She may be sluggish but she still has 16 inch guns. She's useful.
you kicked your own butt by mainly running head on towards them. All together a great victory though. Can't wait to see what happens next.
Mercy sakes, We got ourselves A Kongo!
30:30 That carrier was making 18 knots, I wonder if the P-38 bomb hits damaged it's engines and reduced it's speed
