In the months following Pearl Harbor, the Imperial Japanese Navy conducted operations at sea, threatening British Royal Navy dominance in the area.
The most dangerous moment of the war, and the one which caused me the greatest alarm, was when the Japanese fleet was heading for Ceylon and the naval base there. The capture of Ceylon, the consequent control of the Indian Ocean, and the possibility at the same time of a German conquest of Egypt would have closed the ring and the future would have been black.
- Prime Minister Winston Churchill, April 1942
March 31, 1942, Japan had attacked Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, her forces had overrun Hong Kong, Malaya, Singapore, the Dutch East Indies, and Burma. Now the Imperial Japanese Navy and Army were heating up for an assault on India, the jewel in the British imperial crown.
The idea of watching the torpedo attacks from an observer aircraft's POV was really good. It added a lot to the immersion.
I agree, it really added a new perspective.
I want Wolfpack to do that more
What i really like how he experiments with trying to improve the videos in minor but really good ways
Came to the comments to say this!
It was cool to see yeah, but on a mobile screen it was really hard to make out what was going on too.
He really cooked with that starting cinematic ngl
For the record, watching the torpedo attacks from the PBY was a stroke of genius! That was so freaking cool to watch!
Was just binging on your previous campaigns....Thankyu for all the content you create
Thank you!
@@Wolfpack345 Never thought WP345 would reply to me...Love and respect from India
I don’t think anyone talks about how casually Iron Knight is soloing this campaign 💀💀💀
Another excellent video! As an Englishman I love seeing this campaign that shows some of the Royal Navy’s hard fought battles in the Pacific. Thank you for all your hard work and making this series so fun to watch.
Taffy in Exile is doing the Mediterranean campaign atm worth the watch.
@@ryanfreebody6881 Thank you for that info. I’ll definitely have to check that out. Been a while since I’ve seen a Taffy video, but he always does an excellent job as well.
@dreadnought014 He's good to watch, but Wolfpack seems to have far better control of his forces in War on the Sea. I watched Taff's first episode and he's more gung ho.
@@markstott6689This is what I’ve noticed with any war strategy game. I can only watch him play U Boat because he doesn’t make silly mistakes and understands real sub warfare tactics. It’s incredibly entertaining to watch.
CoCanada as you call it is coca-nada. Like Coca cola and nothing in Spanish.
The aerial view of the opening swordfish battle was a great, fresh change too!
The name of the city in present day is Kakinada (pronounced kuh-kee-nuh-da) though.
@@lontongstroong yeah, I know.
Trincomalee is a mouthful. During the war British troops called it Trinco.
@@WgCdrLuddite we Aussies can't be bothered with our full title. Most people abroad just call it Oz. Completely understand!
@@zoe..d 'Straya
As other people have said, definitely more Catalina viewpoint shots for the torpedo runs, it feels real watching from a lookout as the ships are hit and begin filling the sky with black smoke, add a B+W filter to it and it would look like real footage 😂
Grab the Dutch AK's. They carry 1200 troops and travel at 22 kts.
Just caught up myself. And ho boy, Decoy deserves museum status!!!!
A beautifully synchronised attack, the view from the catalina was also quite refreshing.
I have noticed that those little gun boats kill your planes faster than most other ships they are responsible for at least 4-5 in series so far
2:16 - view from plane is awesome!
The Catalina POV was a great addition dude! Immersion was 100/100!
Would love to see the allies grab a battleship or two before the end of the series - take the fight to the Japanese...Please Wolfpack!! 🙏🤟
Yep. A battleship would sovereignly control the waters even against Japanese heavy cruisers. And even in case it never met Japanese ships, I believe a battleship would be invaluable support to marines/naval infantrymen making a landing on hostile shore.
Warspite is hungry.
@@Gentleman...Driver She is, brother. Let's feed her some Japanese ships! Lol
You say preparing but we all know the fifteenth Japanese convoy will come in
It's always a good day when Wolfpack uploads
My favourite RUclips series at the minute. I really love the narrative style you use. Thank you 😊
That PBY POV was sick! Moar
“No Kill like Overkill” love it!
I hope when this campaign ends you’ll try out the Mediterranean campaign
I was thinking the same. 😊
Wolf needs to stop saying "We haven't lost one yet" and "Haven't had a dud yet." The universe keeps punishing him for it.
I’ve found your channel 4 days ago and I absolutely LOVE it! The way you make the videos is perfect man!
Keep on going and lots of love from The Netherlands ❤️🇳🇱
The tides have turned, such a good series!
I’m about 65-75% on my first American campaign in WoS, what an amazing gaming experience. Thanks for the helpful tips and tricks from your previous campaigns. Good stuff, Semper Fi!
I admire your works
6:38 looked like 2 went off one after another straight away
It seems that the tide has turned. But big battles ahead.
The intros you make are always spot on perfect.
If you can't get a battleship, maybe some heavy cruisers or even a battlecruiser might be nice, for hunting IJN forces at night when your pilots are asleep. I really liked this episode - it has some awesome choices of camera angles.
You've really turned the tide in thos series, finally feels like everything is coming together now
Very cool view of the attack from the Catalina
Have you ever considered making super cuts of your series? I’d watch the hell out of these war on the sea series.
Hmmm! Exciting thing to see before having to go to work in the UK morning! This Convoy has bitten off a great deal more than was expected. If you adopt a suggestion of protecting the seaports on India's and Burma's coastline you might be able to go out on the offensive. You may still go for your battleship! So my own considered suggestion might go aside.
Best series on youtube 😊
Wow. Somehow you manage to put together an opening that's even better than your usual high quality stuff. Ok, now back to watching this episode :p.
hermes needs to get an award for its actions
I still have intrusive thoughts of wanting you to get a K class submarine. Would it be useful? Maybe not, but it's interesting to see one of these in a game.
hubba hubba! yeah baby!
I'm addicted to this series. Can't wait for the next video.
Great episode, lots of action!
I like the camera angle from the PBY Catalina during the attack. Was something different than normal! Great Episode!
this content is so good been watching series of this for 12 vids now
This is a perfect setup episode. I can feel the storm brewing.
Always enjoy your labor
Excellent production 🙂
Very good. It'll be interesting when you go over to the offensive. 🙂
Loving this campaign!
Excellent as always. thank you and keep them coming!
Really enjoying this series and loving the opening cinematics
love this series
My fav series!❤
Damn. Your fighter pilots (game AI) in those Hurricanes are proficient as drunken mule.
Great Work!
Pretty exciting.
Hype for another episode
Finally, another WOTS update.
Next episode gotta be named “the empire strikes back” lol
I love your U-boat videos!
Just as my meal break is starting, you love to see it.
The Royal Navy is kicking the Japanaese butts.
Love the series
Gettin' spicy!
loved the cinematic from the catalina
Good episode. Great torpedo attacks.
nice episode
Your penchant for attacking useless small targets and ignoring ‘concentration of firepower’ on the more important targets is frustrating to watch. The view of the attack from the perspective of the PBU was brilliant. It was a refreshingly new view.
ironic swordfishes could avoid Bismarck's AAA but japanese merchants and small DDs are too much
It's a mod, and the RNG in this game is questionable as is.
Wish these videos wear longer like 45mins to an hour
Taking the fight to the enemy!
With such a massive torpedo attack, wouldn't it be better to attack from two sides simultaneously? Just an idea.
You're slowly gaining the upper hand, keep it up. It's just a shame that there's always a week between episodes.
Every time i see your intros i just think “how tf do u find this stuff” also w chess reference
Absolutely love the head cannon for the series. Also do you know anything about the game’s development?
Hello, I was watching you for some time already,
You got me into simulator games like this,
Will you be recording IL-2: Korea, when it will be released?
Very exciting ang gret episode.
From history, I'm sure the Japanese sent a large task force into the India ocean, with carriers. Where is it ?
Once again Japan assembled a convoy only to see it blown out of the water
I don't understand why you bother attacking the small escorts, why not avoid them and focus on the capital ships and freighters and leave the chasers to their own devices?
I have respect in the fact you're just playing War on the Sea, let alone how far this campaign has come.
Many don't realise how flawed and broken this game is, which is a shame. As it has so much promise but, it has clearly been left to rot. As they are developing a new Atlantic game which unsurprisingly (Although I genuinely did hope they'd get it right) it has a tonne of flaws and meme worthy moments like WoS.
For instance, a destroyer one shotting a battleship with its main guns, which isn't even possible irl.
Unfortunately their games rely on RNG, over actual damage models and decent AI behaviour. Which means, throw tactics out the window as that does nothing.
The AI is broken, you'll have times as seen is this series, where you'll make a decent force, then bam subs out of nowhere and 3 hard to dodge torp shots. Again its pure RNG, as you are at the mercy of how the game spawns the engagement in and if you just so happened to have air cover at that random moment in time. In your case you did, which 100% without 90% at least of that fleet would have been doomed.
These meme goofy moments is the main reason other YT play it so little. It can be such a damn head bake to get through.
So I really do applaud your perseverance.
PBY slowly banked to the right.
things are gearing up for the British to do what they’re good at doing.
c o n q u e s t
HMS Warspite when!
You've never used big convoys like the ai with many warships and air cover...
How cool would that be if you succed
Longer video's would be nice.
Quick question (love the series), why do you keep your torp bombers at such a low speed during approach? Does the game not scale the AA effectiveness up the slower the aircraft is moving (or the drop effectiveness down the faster it’s going)?
If only the US had such good success with its torpedoes. Based on the research I've been exposed to, at least 50 per cent were useless.
if under trop attack, the ships would so S pattern, this is ridiculous.
When attacking, would it be better to attack near 90° than 45-60° to shrink the airplane profile? Maybe lower dud rate?
"Coca - Nada"
Hit like and subscribe to support the Wolfpack !!
Air Force JROTC cadets could’ve done better than those AI hurricane pilots
after watching todays vid think it might be 4-6
Wolfpack, have you ever tried Cold Waters on steam?
Leaving this comment here in the Hope you see it, Wolf : Have you considered trying out BattleFleet Gothic Armada?
can you not increase the speed of the albacores? even if it was 140 i think it would help rather than just 105
Comment! Huzzah!
Booyah! Glory to the Soviet Nav- oh wait...
You ever notice how every time you say "we haven't lost a plane yet" you immediately lose one after? Yeah....stop saying that dude
6:36 you can't say the 'D' word its bad luck
How do u download these mods ? On War of the sea
Steam discussion, "Modding & Custom Content" subforum. There you can find pinned subject with all the info about what you need to do to play specific mod.
This game doesnt have official mod support so it is a bit more tricky.
