What is War on the Sea?
1942: The world is at war
The Japanese Empire expands throughout the Pacific where Allied forces attempt to halt its spread. A desperate struggle for control of the Solomon Islands is now underway.
How will you protect your transports as they deliver troops and supplies in the South Pacific? Will you deploy precious aircraft carriers to provide air cover? Do you screen the area with submarines? Or attempt to lure the enemy navy into a decisive surface engagement?

The second sunk destroyer was like: "Dive! Dive! Dive!"
Briefly forgetting their class in the hurry of escaping the hail of shells
Yeah they look like submarines crash diving lol
"Sir but we are a destroyer, not a sub-"
"I said DIVE!"
@@sledgetype0029*proceeds to sink*
"I'm surprised the game puts us so close to the enemy during these engagements. Like, how'd they sneak up on us like that?"
_('Cold Waters' has entered the chat)_
There was this one case in the med when the British snuck up on the italians and fired at in naval terms point blank range.
@@Vergil462
Wasn’t the conditions of that engagement foggy or at night, not a bright clear day like it was in game.
LOL
@@Vergil462 Cape Mapatan was at night and the Italians had no radar.
@@sargesacker2599 sorta, it was the middle of the night and the british had radar and the Italians did not. The british were able to dictate the terms of battle
I saw this pop up and literally pumped my fist while grunting “YES”
Bro same, his other content is good but I love this
same reaction every single vid
Glad im not the only one
Beat it,nerd.
Don’t forget the repeat button for search patterns. No need to keep setting up air search and sub patrols. Best improvement in the game so far IMHO.
It helps, but loading a save breaks some of them, so have to remark their course.
I like how the destroyers in the first fight were still booking at flank ahead even as they were sinking.
Wolfpack: Let's build an airfield on Rennell Island.
Rennel Island: You must construct additional Pylons!
12:13 Even better -- when looking through binoculars, target a ship or aircraft and hit "F" to focus the binoculars on that target and track it. That helps see the shells, too.
Very cinematic looking when done from a scout aircraft watching a ship get bombarded.
"You see, Yamamoto, the Americans have a finite number of high-explosive shells! Knowing this, I sent wave after wave of destroyers at them, until they depleted their ammunition and were forced to withdraw! Gunichi! Show them the medal I won!"
"I'm surprised the game puts us so close to the enemy... how did they sneak up on us?"
Me, getting my surfaced u-boat time-compressed into the middle of a convoy: Same, man.
"I say, that certainly is an odd-looking cargo vessel in our convoy. I don't recall him being there before."
Love the destroyers in that region. Historically after the landings and subsequent losses the Japanese took, a plan was issued to have destroyers send supplies to Japanese troops in that region you just happen to be fighting them in. So head canon will be that these destroyers were delivering supplies to their troops.
TTE mod does give DD task forces missions to deliver troops and supplies so, its not head canon. =P
But some might have been scout or ASW patrols, like the one with the CL.
@@PerfectDeath4 that is so cool. Feels more like authentic warfare than vanilla
@@Mr_Unicorn16 From the mod description it seems the AI tries to time these for night times, but not sure how often that ends up happening =P
@@PerfectDeath4 caught with their pants down??? Lol
@@Mr_Unicorn16 Also of note, Wolf's mentioned this before but his save file isn't compatable with the newest TTE updates so, he's had to make changes to get it to work.
From my experience in the newest versions if I had ships in that part of the map during the day I'd be constantly hit by torpedo and dive bombers from the new airbase and floatplane bases.
Maybe that is throwing off the AI in his campaign now?
17:26 Damn, that shockwave effects are AWESOME!
Savo Island gets mentioned in the intro...
Everybody who knows the history: "Oh shit." :P
Oh boy
I don’t know the history lol
@@cringyhuman3210 The short version is it’s one of the first major naval engagements we got into during World War II in the Pacific and we got our ass kicked here’s a link to a pretty good video about it in case you wanna watch it.
ua-cam.com/video/HGsqFxVnC8E/v-deo.html
@@1378Mrbubbles i know the history because of that video lol
@@cringyhuman3210 Basically, the naval actions around Guadalcanal were an absolute clusterfuck on the allied side, and the Battle of Savo Island was the worst of them. A combination of overconfidence, bad communications, a confused command structure and a badly flawed tactical doctrine resulted in over a 1000 dead american and australian sailors while the japanese got away with minimal damage.
The only reason the japanese couldn't go on to wipe the allied invasion force off the island afterwards was that they'd spent too much time beating the absolute shit out of the allied fleet with impunity and dawn (and with it, allied air cover) was rapidly approaching.
The Captain at 5:48 "Activate submarine mode! Dive Dive Dive"
5:08 Jesus Christ. That's a *lot* of shells. Not surprised you wiped the floor with them XD
6:33 POV: You’re a destroyer in World of Warships and you just got detected in the middle of the map by a radar Minotaur
16:32
Colorado: *SAY HELLO TO MY LITTLE FRIEND!!!*
"surprised we haven't seen any battleships yet" remember why you first banned B17s and sunk I think it was 3 kongo class battleships (the B17 rule was from yamato I think)
He also sunk Musashi, Isa, and mutsu.
and I think Wolfpack also sink several cruisers (the AI was keep sending ships to attack Port Moresby)
Couldn’t help but hear Billy Idol’s Rebel Yell as “hell rains down from above” on those poor DDs
Hi Wolfpack...long-time lurker, first-time poster here! I'm a big World War II naval history nerd and so awesome seeing you play this series. I'm especially loving the fact you have HMAS Sydney incorporated in one of your task forces...she's a favourite of mine from that era and good to see her establishing a serious war record under your command after her actual somewhat inglorious demise.
37:20 the veiw as that last shit went down... this game is amazing and this series has been even better. Thanks. Currently bing watching all your content.
Welp this was meant for episode 19... lol watching on phone and it switched i guess while adding comment
That second destroyer crash dived, LoL. PS HMAS Sydney was sunk six months earlier of West Australia
My reliable lunch time companion! Nothing helps the digestion like watching IJN Destroyers being made into artificial reefs.
Subbed. This is almost better than a book series. I dont want it to ever end! This is so cool. Great work, wolfpack
Thanks! :)
With the new update, you'll get a searchlights for surface ships for better night fighting shootout
Finally, that was Japan's greatest asset during night fights. They had CRAZY good searchlights, the Americans had Rader Japan had lights.
@@SlavaUkraini345 that's not exactly how the japanese liked to fight at night, they would fly scout planes to drop flares on the ships, and then launch long lances.
Then close the distance, open fire and turn on flood lights
@@SlavaUkraini345 see first battle of savo island, there are several other examples during this historical campaign where the japanese obliterated American forces, who underestimated the japanese torpedoes and night fighting from long range torpedoes. And not all American ships in 42 had radar, it was fairly new.
Same for japanese, only some of the big japanese battleships had radar.
@@Robert53area thanks its just that from things I've read the Japanese had very good searchlights and the Americans had the better advantage with radar. Also yeah the Japanese torpedoes were EXCELLENT
The only thing I hate about this series is the waiting for the next one! Who knew, stealth ships in WW2!? Highly entertaining and had me yelling at the television. Hell yeah! Great fun, cheers.
Keep sinking those enemy supply destroyers, and destroy those enemy supplies.
Ironbottom sound still has some exposed seabed. The bottom isnt completely iron-covered yet.
That first engagement... you were washing those destroyers with all those "sprays". ^^
Yeah. Everyone on those boats died sparkly ckean.
That was a really cool combined arms strike with the lightnings getting involved. Love the series man.
One thing I learned when playing this game was that as soon as you start the battle just turn your ships and change their speeds. The AI drops torpedoes immediately.
This series is really getting me hooked😁😎👍
In tonight's episode: "Stop! Stop! He is already dead!"
One of the best series Wolfpack made.
Man....your guys are getting good at raining down death on the enemy ships...very nice!
Keep em coming!!!!
Had this been a real battle, the Japanese vessels should have launched their torpedoes at the first sight of American flotilla and laid smoke. The AI probably tries to imitate Tokyo Express operations where IJN did employ a lot of destroyers and light cruisers for supply actions, but they would try to sneak in at night rather than risking an engagement during broad daylight (this video showing the consequence of that). That said, very exciting battles and we are finally working on drying up the IJN destroyer bucket LMAO
5:34
Looks like the shock/shrapnel damage from those near misses flooded her.
And some of those shells that landed short likely pierced her hull below the waterline.
This has become my favorite series on UA-cam :)
Same here 😤
Brings me back to last year on online school watching your videos!
Wolf having an airfield in the area will surely help out more with naval engagements
YESSSSS!!!!! Love your content. Was just looking for something to pass the time.
Wolfpack is the peg boy on my ship, we all take turns blowing out his o ring.
Love the series. Thanks for taking the time to share it. One of those islands could be a nice forward rearm and resupply base. (needs level 3, I think)
I just can't get enough of this series Wolfie!
I honestly love this series Wolfie! There's so much action in every episode!!! :D
Excited for the next episode.
man what an amazing series
Really like your content especially War on the Sea .. I def get excited when you have a new episode!
This is for that little torpedoed destroyer! Your gameplay even feels American with all the murder and huge task forces looking for anything to kill- you don't mess with the US!
No one's fired that many shells at a Japanese ship carrying torpedoes since the Kamchatka reported seeing Japanese torpedo boats in the North Sea lol
This game looks SO fun. And your narrations are great. Glad I found this channel - always games that I'm interested in. Question - (I haven't seen all your episodes) Have you ever had any ship you're engaging simply blow up like 'Hood-style'? I mean I've seen it on "U-boat" (a tanker went up on me once - fairly impressive). Watching you simply pummel those destroyers, I kept waiting for one to "erupt". 2d Question - do you have some naval interest or background? I know this is production results, but it seems like you either have the background or you REALLY understand those tutorials and pick up on them quickly.
To answer the first question, while magazine explosions can occur, in the current game, ships blowing up and breaking apart is not in the game. Don’t worry however, the devs mentioned that they are planning to put it in down the line after the get finished modeling naval bases are ports
Drachinifel does a few good videos on some of these "hood-style" explosions. One video actually does talk about how the Hood likely exploded. Different games often have different reasons for their Flash Fires (often the most accurate description for this) some are very RNG, some are more accurately simulated.
In this game it is because of fires spreading into magazine compartments, each ship has a compartment that can have flooding or fires in them. Those DDs have small magazines and no armor so they most likely flooded all their compartments which prevents the magazines down there from flashing. =P
@@PerfectDeath4 Already subscribed to Drach. Love his episodes. Thx for the suggestion though. Have a better one!
@@dylanbrown5366 I hope they do. Am upgrading my system now. Will be adding this as soon as I'm up and running. Nothing more spectacular than an unexpected internal complete destruction boom-boom ... as long as it's not your ship!
@@jasonmickey1613 absolutely that’s actually one of the biggest complaints I had about the game is that there weren’t really any varied damage states or destruction states glad to hear that they’re actually going to be implementing at some point.
@4:34 B turret on your Cleveland CL is out. Watch it closely, it doesn't turn to engage.
I love watching the Tokyo express series!
Gotta hand it to the P-38 pilots. It takes balls of steel to attack a destroyer WHILE our shells, including some 16 inchers, are raining down on your target! As if there wasn't already enough shyte in the air!!!
Your vids are amazing my guy. You have the best vibes for a game like this
This is such a fun series! GJ Wolfpack!
My experience was that one time I went into tactical & the Yamato battlegroup was less than 100 ft from my battlegroup & was crossing the T. I lost 3 light cruiser & 4 destroyer, luckilly all the enemy battlegroup sank
What if you had either a Brooklyn CL or a Hot-Lanta CLAA on auto-gunnery. Both were designed for a high volume of fire.
From trying out the new TTE mod campaign I definitely like the UI on the right that allows you to cycle between certain kinds of units on the strat map. Great for picking out your icons when they are all stacked on each other.
Aircover is EXTREMELY important during the day. If you get caught out in the daylight deploy fighters to maintain a screen. This is now done very easily by a new UI feature that allows you to tell an aircraft to escort a taskforce/squadron and they will follow it.
This is important because with the new changes to certain capture spots having mixed or floatplanes airfields you will find a LOT of flying boats and floatplanes around. In a USN run I had a small fleet of CLs getting constantly harassed by H6K flying boats with 2 torpedoes on each attacking in groups of 3-6, sometimes with dive bombers.
Smaller escort carriers are also very useful even if to only provide a squadron of fighters. The AI even sent an invasion fleet once with a BB, 2 CA, 1 CVL, CLs, DDs, and 3 MS. That CVL could deploy 19 zeroes to cover the fleet, reliably defeating that with fighters of my own would require something like 1.5:1 odds at best. 2:1 ideally.
There is also incentive to engage in air superiority battles over Port Moresby even if it only lasts a day, the AI will try to intercept the player a lot anywhere north of New Guinea's mountains. That way you can scout and strive without being intercepted.
Loving the war in the seas series
I'd like to see War on the Sea for the Mediterranean in WWII. British older battleships vs Italian new and old battleships.
Yea! Brings popcorn 👍
Removing the existence of multiple destroyers and a single light cruiser... Yeah, we're some real heroes aren't we?
Heck yeah brother!
Been waiting days for this!!
The IJN have a few destroyers but in the unmodded game the Americans have 176 Fletcher class destroyers which is more ships than the whole IJN in the game.
i love this game
Build the airstrip on Rennell Island please. One of these days a large Japanese task force will come by just when you least expect it. Maybe just after a previous surface action when your warships are low on ammunition. At this point an airstrike might save your bacon. Plus having aircraft for a strike in the slot is always fun and very useful. Of course if you enjoy living dangerously......
My favourite part is the combined arms actions hit a fleet with a sub or air and a fleet mops up in the same battle
I have been waiting so long
great job with this series...lovin' it..
Always go with what works
I like to think that you intercepted them trying to run supplies in to Guadalcanal in Destroyers and then caught the command ship (the CL).
I enjoyed it very much, hopefully you'll put out more videos on this series I enjoyed them very much.
We got em on the ropes wolf! Send in the MO🤣
Get submarines to patrol Rabaul so you can intercept battle ships and carriers before they become a problem
Btw keep this series goin Wolfpack it’s amazing
And is there a German or British campaign that would be amazing
"I want to see explosions." I've given that attack order myself!
Well done Wolfpack
Cool. You should move troops from Rennell (and Santa Cruz?) to more useful islands, so they won't starve too.
Our Navy showing it's teeth today. I like the odds they had.
just for curiosity sake i timed it when you said "start your stop watches" 50.99 seconds from the first shell landing to the sinking notification XD
Just what I needed!
Can’t wait to see his reaction to them adding searchlights
dude, I LOVE your videos... the only thing I would ask is if you could make one or two of each series into a "tutorial" or how to, so we can also learn how to play them... also, another "how to" as to, in example, why you choose an x class ship over another one to occupy a certain position in a formation... this would be more of a strategic tutorial instead of a simulation tutorial... thanks!!!!
The third destroyer lasted about 55 seconds under that hail of fire. Absolutely devastating.
Thanks for the update!
Love your series, thank you
Yes! Another video.
And is it okay if you do the attack on pearl harbor with custom battle editor!?!
Really wanna see a Japanese play through with this Tokyo express mod.
With the personal objective of not losing Guadalcanal, take port Moresby, and for the final victory landing on Australia
I love the look of this mod the only thing I’m not too keen on is the ai equipping all zeros with bombs and trying to do bombing runs with them
If you get the game and the mod you can turn that off.
Keep on! Thank you!
Highlight of the day :)
The poor crew of these destroyers. Hell must have been going on there on board.
love this series kudos
Judging by the thumb nail, I can’t wait to see these 16inch guns hammering away 😆
yes been looking forward t this
Maybe an IJN campaign when Operation Magazine drops the huge update (not to soon sadly )with expanded arsenal would make the campaign take longer
Tbh, you've sunk most of the japanese battleships if not all of them. As well as most of the heavy cruisers etc. You got yamato early and if iirc, also got musashi trying to raid that one spot over and over again. Destroyers are probably all your going to see from this point on.
TTE has a spawn point for a fleet of 2 DD and 1 DE nearby GC.... That's why you keep seeing that each day a new fleet will spawn in that area....
Wolfpack, I've been doing a rough count of the ships you have so far sunk and if the game does indeed limit itself to the actual number of ships the navies possessed then pretty much Destroyers and the odd light cruiser is all they have left - and increasingly not many of those.
I am pretty sure that the game does keep track. I believe that if you open the identification manual; it tells you the names of the ship in that class and if they have been sunk.
Heading off and sinking destroyers most likely laden with troops and supplies for Guadalcanal. Probably explains the command point difference. Well played! Has Annapolis sent you any recruitment emails lol?
