A three deck battleship would be the best with 68 guns, but they will have to limit the reloading time according to the scale... I think it's 1:100, so 5 minutes of real reloading make 300sec:100= 3 seconds for a round...

@@thatsclassified1 Oh, ha ha ha, that humor. Now, if we consider they built everything from scratch, following rules regarding the materials, making every single sensitive component waterproof, and we're talking about sizeable models with revolving turrets, that fire and reload on their own, yeah, it'd be so crazy to grab a playmobil accesory designed some 50 years ago, already watertight, that runs on 1 AA battery, comes with a rudder, looks like a torpedo, and simply find a way to have it fall in the water and hit something. I'm pretty sure 20 years ago, if someone heard about this hobby as it is, would've laughed even harder about how impossible it'd be. And here they are. Well that's always been the story anyway, hasn't it? Across the Atlantic? - That's crazy. Get rid of horses to get one of those wheeled contraptions? Not gonna happen. Etc.
All the ships have a float, attached by a wire to the ship, so that it can easily be retrieved if (when) it sinks. Usually the float is a part of the superstructure made of foam that just comes loose and floats. All the electronics are sealed in watertight boxes so they (usually) survive the sinking, too. It'd be a really expensive hobby if you'd have to build a new ship every time you sank. It would be realistic though 😋 This sure looks like fun. I wonder if there are clubs doing this in the Netherlands, where I live.

What is the human fascination to battle each other? Whether real war or a simulation, video games and whatsoever, we just seem to have a never ending thirst for war, and personally, I LOVE IT!
Simply put, humanity was forged in violence. Humans that lose all cognitive function and are forced back to basic primal instincts are the most violent creatures in existence.

Club rules (and safety common sense) prohibit the cannons from elevating above horizontal. As Ashton said, the goal is to punch holes below the waterline to cause flooding and sink the opponent, so there is good reason to get close and aim down.
At 4:50 you get a good look at the projectile he’s shooting it gets stuck in his bow looks almost like a bb but bigger also that boat with the bilge pump is pretty genius
Love the look of the RC models! I was able to identify a Nassau dreadnought (i think) and a Deutschland class cruiser, but I couldn't make head or tails of that quad tripple turret battleship and I'm confused by the Bourgogne/Alsace + Dunkerque mixed french bb.
Wow, that's some great ship identification there. You're right, there's a Nassau, a Deutschland class, and an Alsace. That's the Frenchie with the three quads you weren't sure about. There was also a Montana class that I helped build, and in other battles you'll find an Iowa, South Dakota, King George V, Gascoigne, Rodney, and a variety of convoy ships from all sides.
I dont build model ships, just gundam, but is there a reason the guns are tilting towards the water? or is it just the camera making it look like that.
You don't sink ships by letting the air out, you sink ships by letting water in. You need to put holes below the waterline, so you aim down at close range.
@@kotori87gaming89 Oh man i dont know why i didnt think of that haha, i forgot real ships probably are taking shots at greater distances allowing rounds to sort of drop down towards the waterline, i think, thanks alot for the info
@@dwy1171 In reality, in artillery naval battles you basically hole the ship from above and blow up the shell inside the ship causing fires to break out, crewmen to die, and incapacitation of ship functions. Though on a scale this small I doubt you could plant an explosive charge in the projectiles to do that :p
@@badcornflakes6374 I had a Bismarck, a guy made a crazy detailed Iowa Class (called it USS Kentucky) that ran off a 486 processor, and WiFi back to a laptop to run it. This was in like, 2001.

One person built a sub that fired torpedos (all under water!), but they were an empty .22 casing with a ball bearing super glued to the front and the rules committee wasn't "impressed" lol.
God the fpv stuff small cameras and small drone controllers have changed the game. If i was a kid now id be building my own circuit boards etc. Back in 90s i knew pcs hardware and software but u just didnt have access to stuff like today. This is too cool
By the way, if you angle the ship, you can still point the two forward turrets at the enemy offering slight portions of the hull. Moreover the angle offers more chances to ricochet shells. If the models are properly made accordingly to real specifics, also the dynamics will not change too much. Of course you don't have comparable guns on board, but that will just increase further more the survivability of the ship.
@@ramiel7666 well I don't know the rules of this game. But showing broadside is the easiest way to get damage. Full broadside is a flat surface that can be penetrate even by smaller guns. Real BBs never do that. Iowa-class for example had a specific shape of her forward bow to allow her to deflect incoming shells.
@@danielefabbro822 I don't the rules of the game either, but just as a historical note, battleships showing each other 'broadside' was always the way they were expected to fight. In fact, the idea of 'crossing the T' (a tactic used through the dreadnought era and beyond) involves showing your full broadside to the bow or stern of your enemy, to reduce their ability to shoot back. Fighting in a battle line (as all battleships who weren't opperating alone were expected to) also makes it hard to 'angle', while getting all the ships in your line able to fire on the enemy. The Iowa class, as a note, was designed to have an 'immunity zone' where she could take fire from another 16" gun armed ship directly to her main belt/deck armour, so she could bombard a comparable target with near impunity (as long as the enemy hit her armour)!
@@danielefabbro822 If you look at almost every single battle including multiple battleships from the 1880s through until the 1940s, you will see that the concept held true, and wasn't just for 'wooden ships'. In fact, modern ships almost always show full broadside, because it allows them to get all their anti-ship and CIWS in a position to fire.
I think it would be cool if you had one guy controlling the ship and another controlling the guns, or multiple people controlling the guns. You could also make it where you can elevate the guns on the boat so the battles aren’t TOO close. You could also try and incorporate some kind of firework system to them? That way you can have more or an EOA and more carnage
If time allows, adding a warning when a successful shot is about to occur, the or after a bit counts. If your ship is sunk, does it have to return to the "wharf" until ft round, or just keep playing?
If my ship is sunk, I have to go out after the sortie is over to recover it. Then I patch up the holes so it can float again, and I'm ready for the next sortie.
@@shminkydinky321 All the electronics are sealed against water damage. I'm sure that that sometimes fails, after that happening once or twice I'm sure the owner gets really good at sealing 😉
I think something in the realm of iron-clads would be awesome for this kind of thing, not just historical models or designs, but parameters that adhere to the tech and style of the age. Possible turret, possible broadside, but not the sails of the tall ships.
How come you didn't fire even one quarter as much as the other ships even though you had some great shots line up? Lack of ammo or does only the turret with the camera work? This was really cool and I loved the view, I was just getting really antsy watching. Like watching your favorite team play a championship and get a bad call against them or miss a play. I was really rooting for you! haha
I found this very entertaining to watch I got an AB special after I left Job Corps with my OS wiper so I've chipped a little paint in my day this is very fun to watch
I have a similar idea to this. The only difference is, you're inside the boat so obviously a much bigger boat is needed. Then, you add paintball guns in the turrets, and have them reload similar to what you have there. Get a bunch of your friends together, and go out, and shoot each other with paintball guns. . . On boats.
I didn't know this was a thing until today. Too bad there's no one in the area I live in that is interested in this hobby. I can think of some ship designs and materials to use but have no experience in remote control setup. I believe older ship battles would be fun as they're either left and right side fire. Modern battles could be fun if you have multiple people to control the different cannons on a boat.
im suprised we dont have a really cheap entry level version, even 3d printed versions with super cheap rc equipment and a shop and a pond and have it cheap enough for anyone to play, or buy uer own two to dual, have a reallynice club, flying drone battles too.
I've never seen this anywhere at any time in the US and I've spent my entire life here, so I feel like it's a relatively niche hobby. That said this is a big place with a lot of people in it so I'm certain it can be found if you ask around and do a little research on it
@@001sharpshot Why yes there is! UA-cam generally doesn't like directly posting links (except for spambots, apparently) but if you do a quick google search for "RC Warship Combat" and I guarantee you'll find it.

It is crazy how far I feel this could go for example if you had a private lake with Dr connected to the ships you could be in a safe place allowing much more dangerous ammunition I can also see planes being used in this I'm a big sugar rocket guy and you could totally attack a rocket engine to a rc plane awesome video I have been looking for something like this.
I don't know why but it reminded me of that school trip to a lake and i had the brilliant idea to start a naval battle with my friends while we were on the boats
Funny, half the comments asking questions that are clearly answered in the comments. Yes, the guns are angled downwards for safety, and to hole enemy ships below the water line so they take on water and sink. Yes, they're firing steel BBs. No, they're going to switch to firearms, no matter how small the caliber. No, they're not going to use explosives. Yes, the ships are recovered after they sink. No, the electronics don't have to be replaced after a sinking (well, almost never), they're sealed against water intrusion. Yes, torpedos may be possible but, no, not with explosives.
Ever watch the film Beau Geste? Thats cool stuff, thanks! It reminded me of the Battle of Tsushima (1906). I guess no ramming was allowed (or sinking). In the USA, those ships would be sinking or at least damaged more.
It's actually been a thing for centuries but I'll come back to that what these are is known as a bilge pump they suck water from the bottoms of watercraft and spew it out the top or sides and they are common place on nearly every vessel today from super carriers to bass fishing boats however the concept dates back to the days when putting cannons on larger ships first became a thing in combat as part of damage control there where entire teams whose job was to bucket water from the bottom of the ship and dump it out though it wasn't a very high paying or desirable job if a necessary one and the personnel designated for this task where hence known as bilge rats

Sounds dumb as hell and too expensive
Yeah and die drowned
@@lemonhead1442 ironic coming from a guy called lemon head lmfao
Can we get a video of the damage at the end and if you dont have one already, a video going over all of the systems and how you built them?
I didn't know this was a thing until today.
Too bad there's no one in the area I live in that is interested in this hobby.
I can think of some ship designs and materials to use but have no experience in remote control setup.
I believe older ship battles would be fun as they're either left and right side fire.
Modern battles could be fun if you have multiple people to control the different cannons on a boat.
How many working turrets does your ship carry? And wouldn't it be more accurate with a somewhat slower turret traverse? Like 5
When Mom tells you to go outside when you're playing *World of Warships:*
I need to do that, at least once in my miserable life.
im suprised we dont have a really cheap entry level version, even 3d printed versions with super cheap rc equipment and a shop and a pond and have it cheap enough for anyone to play, or buy uer own two to dual, have a reallynice club, flying drone battles too.
That's gorgeous! Is this widely spread among the US or it's enjoyed only in one town/county?
There are clubs all across the US. This particular group is in California but there's been a club within a few hours drive everywhere I've lived.
I've never seen this anywhere at any time in the US and I've spent my entire life here, so I feel like it's a relatively niche hobby.
That said this is a big place with a lot of people in it so I'm certain it can be found if you ask around and do a little research on it
@@kotori87gaming89 how do I find these kind of clubs? Is there a website for it?
@@001sharpshot Why yes there is! UA-cam generally doesn't like directly posting links (except for spambots, apparently) but if you do a quick google search for "RC Warship Combat" and I guarantee you'll find it.
Вот это я понимаю, настоящее мужское хобби👍
What are they shooting?
Peanuts
Metal BB's. The hulls are fiberglass except for the broadsides which have windows blocked by very thin wood.
Thank you youtube and the algorithm gods by bringing me here when I had no idea this such event ever existed
I don't have a model wartime submarine, but I do have a model submarine. I want to make it a war submarine, then I can fight like you sorry I'm not that good at english :)
Your english is pretty good!
thanks but i can only speak german 😅
Now that was a thrilling action packed video
What would be really epic imo is if you rigged the barrels up with firework artillery shells
It is crazy how far I feel this could go for example if you had a private lake with Dr connected to the ships you could be in a safe place allowing much more dangerous ammunition I can also see planes being used in this I'm a big sugar rocket guy and you could totally attack a rocket engine to a rc plane awesome video I have been looking for something like this.
Guns are too low...
They’re low so that they can hit the enemy below the water line so they sink
But wouldn’t a shot be more likely of puncturing if it has to travel through an inch of water to hit the hull, vs 3 inches of water
2.5cm vs 7.5cm to clarify
@@taylorgrasman8174 That's the trick, isn't it. Sometimes I have time to adjust, other times I have to take whatever I can get.
I don't know why but it reminded me of that school trip to a lake and i had the brilliant idea to start a naval battle with my friends while we were on the boats
Dang, that cargo ship can zoom
Yeah, let's say it's "a little over scale speed" 😉
Oh mk
just found this on my recommended. this is genuinely cool af
HOW DID YOU MAKE THIS???? I love these ships so much.
This is peak "male fantasy" right here.
Average Bismarck activities:
Everybody gangsta until you hear:
"All slow ahead flood the aft trim tanks!"
This is freaking awesome. I wonder if people could do this with foam tanks
Just train little squirrels to load and fire... 😆
Damnit Steve, you knocked out my crew.
That French ship was like a frickin god while that little blue one sat in the lagoon to die.
3:16 Ramming speed!
“Evacuation process is now underway. I will go to the detonator, and start the countdown.”
Awesome video!! I've never seen anything like this, and I love it!
Im suing youtube for not putting this on top page
Looks like fun how much does one of those cost
To build from scratch? Probably a couple hundred if you know what you are doing and make everything watertight on the first run.
Funny, half the comments asking questions that are clearly answered in the comments.
Yes, the guns are angled downwards for safety, and to hole enemy ships below the water line so they take on water and sink.
Yes, they're firing steel BBs.
No, they're going to switch to firearms, no matter how small the caliber.
No, they're not going to use explosives.
Yes, the ships are recovered after they sink.
No, the electronics don't have to be replaced after a sinking (well, almost never), they're sealed against water intrusion.
Yes, torpedos may be possible but, no, not with explosives.
Would be cool if it had ballast flooding controls to increase elevation of the guns.
*USS TEXAS INTENSIFIES*
I want to hear some one yell "YOU SUNK MY BATTLESHIP!"
COOL
I remember watching these 12 or 13 years ago.
Imagine one of these with Ruger .22 rounds. (that's probably cheating though)
What projectile is being shot from them?
If only you were better at aiming and shooting this video would have been cool. You had 1000 opportunities to shoot and didn’t
The video is already cool because the amount of engineering skill is impressive.
Its still cool but i agree about the aim 😂
Battleship board game but with these guys... you don't need to guess the enemy but the range.
А-150
Ever watch the film Beau Geste? Thats cool stuff, thanks! It reminded me of the Battle of Tsushima (1906). I guess no ramming was allowed (or sinking). In the USA, those ships would be sinking or at least damaged more.
ЧТО?
"An Enemy Dreadnought has arrived."
5:17 Does that ship have a pump making sure she don't sink, or is it part of the engines to move?
That's a pump.
It's actually been a thing for centuries but I'll come back to that what these are is known as a bilge pump they suck water from the bottoms of watercraft and spew it out the top or sides and they are common place on nearly every vessel today from super carriers to bass fishing boats however the concept dates back to the days when putting cannons on larger ships first became a thing in combat as part of damage control there where entire teams whose job was to bucket water from the bottom of the ship and dump it out though it wasn't a very high paying or desirable job if a necessary one and the personnel designated for this task where hence known as bilge rats
вот он тимейт, который постоянно в мою команду попадает
impressive engineering, btw i watched from Philippines.
What are you shooting out the cannons ?
Hey where can you find and purchase a r/c ship like these because I was kinda interested in getting one myself?!.
Beautifull 😍🤩🤩👏👏👏👏
Love from Bangladesh 🇧🇩 and love from #CSTU (#Chandpur_Science_and_Technology_University).
The day we can start 3d printing these on mass will make me happy
