Why won't you play War Thunder?
▪️ I raged at getting sniped by tanks that I could never see. Also nonsense like turning bushes off that helps you perform better. That seems like a terrible design to me. War Thunder also had drama several years ago about the CEO calling the fanbase to help strike down channels or using copyright strikes to eliminate channels entirely. That is such abuse of power and dictatorial nonsense that I refuse to play a game created by such a company.

I absolutely love this campaing's admiral's log. the wolves are hungry, let them hunt.
Your commentary is amazing lol. Thanks to you I will from now on think of the CLs and DDs and the "The Vaping Club"
"It would be well for your government to consider that having your ships and ours, your aircraft and ours, in such proximity... is inherently DANGEROUS. Wars have begun that way, Mr. Ambassador!"
*hears captainslog*
Huh..
*looks at mirrow*
Are we the bad guys?
*mirror noddes back*
We're not the bad guys. We're expansionist opportunists.
@@Stealth17Gaming aaaah i see
well then
Viel glück und ruhige Wasser Kapitän o7
Suddenly the inherent flaw of the "big guns only, no secondaries" concept is revealed.
tbf it did very good for that reload time. the flaw isn't that big if destroyers die in 1-2 hits.
That intro was amazing
I’ve been playing around with semi armor piercing and I have to say I see why it’s hard to use but found it works best on high caliber guns, I’m using it in 20” guns to deck pen battleships from 30-45 km away.
Stealth 17: ha ha that's a big one
Me: that's what she said 🤣
I mean the HE didn’t disappoint, it gave you a NICE damage number.
Hey Stealth, you should try and get away from casemates as soon as possible. Their weight to barrel ratio is insane when compared to regular secondaries. I think a single barrel casemate is heavier than a triple barrel turret of the same size.
Stealth: "How are you not dead?!"
Narcissus: "I have no idea!"
Maybe the fore belt of that CL was penned just fine but through the ship...
With the Baden class, you could have saved some weight with the removal of the barbette while maintaining decent fields of fire
"HIT!"
Contest: Ok
*DD Contest sinks due to structural damage*
What's it stopped the British plot? (Guns!)
What was it ol' Jacque forgot? (Guns!)
What've we got that they have not? (Big, big, guns!)
-Drinking song of the Reichsmarine
the ship was cresting on a wave and pitching at the same time
About the Citadel thing: I'm not colorblind but still have issues perceiving the citadel in the editor. There is no proper legend on the graph and the shading is too "iron colour" for me to not see it as just a colour of a ship. These kinds of issues are all over the game rn, accessibility is not just low for those with medical issues like you, but also so overcomplicated that it becomes incredibly unsatisfactory to climb the learning curve. As arrogant as it sounds: Gamedevs (especially in the grand strategy and simulator space) should consult with people in didactics, even if its just for a quick review of UI and Tutorials.
BIG GUNS but you aren't rolling only BBs and Dreads? What were you thinking, Stealth?
(XD)
well done intro
Hey stealth, quick question do you still play/talk to sparky,Kiera,atezz and etc?
Yes almost daily.
@@Stealth17Gaming good to hear, are you guys gonna play war game soon
Finally they fixed the bug of the deck
41:58
Is it possible that it went through the ship hitting the front belt from the inside exploding there?
What I have been doing to keep playing a campaign longer is just leave it open for days while I finish one totally. Seems to work fine, if you never close it.
Are they going to be adding a colour blind mode at all
30:51 Nice
41:50 well that would be because they aren't actually calculating the shells and how they travel but just make hits up by RNG
(at least thats the only explanation I can come up with)
43:20 well that can be explained by richochets, if you hit at a sharp enough angle it just bounces
46:00 well yes but also it's in beta, half the game isn't even complete, calm down
I would like to see some sort of intelligence/counter intelligence system introduced. At the moment, a player can see exactly how enemy ships are constructed, which seems wrong to me. Your channel stats may say only 1% of your viewers are female... But we all know you can't trust that :D
Stealth pls do a 1890 Spanish campaign pls pls
Doesn't exist
Stealth: i need to slow down because i don't wanna park next to a torpedo *BOOM* ....
Never mind
"Statistics say only 1% of my viewers are women"
*Proceeds to sink (HMS) Sappho*
Well.
Reference?
@@Stealth17Gaming Sappho of Lesbos, actually pretty well known, I thought.
Well, I am at least one female thats here watching. Love this game and Im also a World of Warships player, so I guess Im just weird for a girl
look at him! just bonking dd's! welp, what would you expect from a 16" gun... 43.04 hey dude... this game has the same "bugs"of warthunder
I am one of the 1% of gals lmao
*Gasp* A female on a wargame channel, improbable! Impossible! It's a miracle!
i dont get why you keep building this single gun turrets and no secondaries, they dont weight that much. And for a sniper, mk.1 guns will never work.
hi from the 1% of women!
What a sinister log and story for this campaign
This admiral is a complete hawk
I love this story for this campaign xd
Hell maybe a Dove campaign as Austria-Hungarians like choosing all the peaceful option and barely keeping enough prestige/unrest to not be replaced but accept when nation declared war on you
maybe it'll be fun to watch hopefully
Please Stealth this is gonna be funny or cursed
@@Stealth17Gaming absolutely love it. The Prussian cold calculating admiral with the "intentionally causing diplomatic incidents to spark a global war so I can show off DER GROßE SCLACHTSHIFF" strategy. keep it up
This guy studied at the feet of Mr. Burns and that evil bug from Family Guy
@@tomyrody4412 I don't know either of those.
I like how that British cruiser was 6" armor everywhere, and then the conning tower had just like 4.3. Even the AI embraces that British officers never stay in their conning towers.
If you have a weight offset the first thing to try and move is the funnel, that controls where the engines are on the ship 21:09
Also if you have more than two, then you get more effect from moving the first and last one.
Hey accidents happen, sometimes you're just out taking a stroll through Belgium and you end up in France.
Shame. Might as well take Paris then.
We'll be home from England by Christmas!
Germans in WW1 and WW2:
When you were looking at the light cruiser pen chance the reason the game reported 32% chance to pen was because if you hit the deck at that range it would bounce off due to the angle. So the game is right its just not including the belt/deck percent chance in the calculation. Later on the fore belt partial you got is apparently a known bug (I've come across it as well) where close range belt pen (especially against cruisers) is not working correctly. I suspect the game is going 'yes you pen that so easily' it ends up going right around to a negative number. Supposedly the 1.08 hotfix today (14 July) will fix it!
The biggest issue with pen seems to be the weird deck pens at close ranges though. As can also be seen in this video.
I like to think of it more along the lines of penetrating through the deck and exploding against the inside of the fore belt.😂
Yeah I have noticed too some bugs in the game, torpedo tubes not firing even when side by side, the tube pointing at the enemy (650m away). formation AI going absolutely nuts. The gun pen chance seems to be more of a dice roll than actual numbers game, 100% hit chance and missing from a kilometer away. AI turning circle seems to be between 5 and 20 meters not 500. Enemy can see me with their inferior tech (no radar or lvl 1) against my lvl 2 radar, most modern CL for that year. Performance issues, game lags or crashes and after a 15 or more years they stop making ships completely. ship is half sunk and it can still shoot from underwater. Game decided to make me have a peace without a pop up or anything. The brits making 300+ ships and sending a fleet of over 200 right next to my ports. That match almost made my computer melt. This game is like my ex. I love it but it has so many issues.
I think the hit chance might be more of a probability of at least one shell out of all guns hitting the target, or at least it looks like it, but I can't test it
@@snailboi6902 it does state per salvo values as well as per gun values. Im also pretty sure the % chance to get within a set distance of the ship not hit it, even though the ship does fill up a good amount of that assumed circle of hit % area.
"I don't wanna see this level of nonsense."
Ship: *nopes out*
Me: You hurt its feelings by 'taunting' them into vanishing.
The quad secondaries tech appears for all nations but only actually works for the French and presumably the Russians when they're added. Its the same throughout the tech trees with things like some battlecruiser techs giving nothing to some nations and unlocking hulls for others.
When you are 45 deg off your targets stern you are 45 degrees off the main belt, the majority of the target area, lowering your pen chance/damage by, at a guess, half at least.
Just listened to admirals log and it has more potential for a movie than a lot of modern movies.
The antics, sabotage, maybe the theft of a potential enemies admirals car. Maybe a stolen penguin from a Zoo (has happened but that was a drunk guy).
The rising tensions between nations would be intense.
They broke the deck pen calc, which is why your pen chance is so low and the top part of enemy ships is solid red.
5:53 I liked how you were so focused on the war that you just clicked right through the new tech that just opened up... I'd have figured dreadnought-5 would have been up your alley ;p
Your comments at the end of the battle are correct, if the Devs are listening, "these are the reasons that I am not buying this game". Early access or not, these balancing issues are simply illogical and should have been ironed out long ago.
P.s. Stealth I am proud to be part of the 1% of your viewers.
Pretty sure the Devs are from Ukraine, so they've got a lot on their minds besides the game.
@@Gustav_Kuriga I hadn't realised that. I know that the solo Dev of Ostriv had to evac from Kharkiv, so his dev work had to slow down.
Britain: exists
Stealth: Let's have some "accidents" happen
Britain: Moves their fleet to the Mediterranean
Stealht: Father, I crave violence!
Fun fact (If i have understood this game correctly) increasing transport budget also leads to an increase in GDP (see the white percentage next to the slider) :) Useful during peace.
For was it not written by general Tacticus in the discworld novels.. "Those who desire war prepare for war"
stealth: cmon 15.9 inch HE dont disappoint me now
*tink*
stealth:........shit
How come you can run your game so well? i take forever to load into the campaign, it's really killed my mood for the game
Magic of editing/pausing recording. Also having a beefy PC helps.
@@Stealth17Gaming the devs really need to fix this if they want to save their game, i have a gaming pc, yet many people wont have gaming pc's
I just play at medium setting
@@matthewyang7893 no, i mean when the game is loading the campaign, it takes up to 15 minutes just to do so
@@matthewyang7893 plus i'm already playing at medium settings
Ah yes accidents like the Lusitania accident. Lol
You just started a world War? I've been in multiple world wars against Britain and ah with France helping me, also I don't know why but I can't piss off France even if my ships are right next to thier ports, oh also the game won't let my get Ireland from the British even though they have no nazy, like how the hell am I supposed to get it
43:00 probably just bounced due to ricochet angles no? 14”ish of armor at 13 degrees is like 60” effective. What this game really needs is an overmatch mechanic. Because frankly bouncing 16’ shells off a light cruiser at 2km, regardless of “realism”, is simply not fun gameplay
For when you lost those transports at the beginning of the war did you forget the 2 BB fleet the British had? It brought them more strength in that area since you moved your fleets into the channel.
That was extremely entertaining, however annoying it must have been for you.
You are not alone in your frustrations with the game's polarity in penetration. Also really liked the admiral's log this episode
You need to upgraded to 15.9" mk II ASAP
Hi there,
Inspired by your series I also started 2 new campaigns (German and Brits) both in 1890.
I both I encountered the bug that fleets dont generate tension (the reason I dismissed my british campaign). So I look on the steam page and it seems to be a new "feature".
The campaigns also got realy boring after two main engagements with the French as Germany (6 BB of mine vs. ~ 160 of theirs and a second with almost the same numbers again; in the first I sunk like 122 of them and lost 3 BBs, science for the win xD) because the AI does not know how to produce more manpower and cant produce more ships (also does not update their ships so they are easy pickings). I managed to get in a new war with the French (after the first peace treaty) but I´m stuck in it because I cant destroy more ships cause the french dont have any and I cant port raid for some reason. So I also dismissed this campaign and hope/wait for some desperately needed fixes befor starting a new one.
I hope that you don´t encounter the same problems and that we get a nice long campaign to follow you through (but I kind of doubt it).
Nonetheless I like your wild designs and enjoy watching your videos! :D
Don't disappoint: 69 damage
Me: Nice
Looks like that glitch about the ships is still here with the number and what type
I gave up on this game a couple of months ago. For one thing, the weights since the very beginning have been way too heavy. You should have no problems putting 8x15" (4x2) on a ship of 45,000 tons, with decent armor and speed. Instead, you're reduced to 4 15" (4x1), and all sorts of other crazy stuff. I've been after the devs for months for a simple little thing like being able to design all ships in a custom battle, and to choose all names, and for proper French, Italian, German &c turrets on the larger caliber guns, and not just Iowa turret knock offs. I'm done with the game.
I agree that politicians are worth $5
I feel like the Wettins class (or whatever it's called) seriously needs a refit, a
you mean kasier class, also it is ment to be a cheap ship
@@kaiserwilliam1755 i still feel like a cheap ship should have some secondary guns to deal with destroyers
Assume you can pen 44" when shooting into an orthogonal (90° to your shot) armour plate.
From the looks you may well have hit armour at ~5° angle to your shot.
At a 5° angle, your 44" pen is beaten by a 4" +0% armour(!!!)
Then there is deflection --- your shell (as you are not using 1960's long rod penetrators) is fairly easily directed away from the line of sight, causing the shell to travel through even more armour than the slope itself gives you.
And bouncing off is simply when the tip of your shell cannot bite into the armour at all and the nose tip never gets into the armour belt. At these extreme angles, if you hit the very much sloped side and not, say, the superstructure or the centre of the stern, a bounce is the natural result. Just your average luck/bad RNG.
As to hitting the bow belt from behind ... it could be possible if the armoured deck is starting lower than the belt, you'd go through the sheet metal on top (but not the actual armoured deck) and run into the front belt on the inside.
Which any protected cruiser or turtleback scheme would basically have to have.
(38:44) "Remember kids, smoking is bad for you unless you are a light cruiser or a destroyer in which case it could safe your life." :)
@stealth17 you need to read the pen calculator carefully it say HE-AP meaning for example at 39:24 your He rounds have 12.1" of pen at 7,500 meters your AP rounds 34" inches of pen. thats what the dash means between the two sets of numbers
The war log in the top left hand corner is poorly set up to view simultaneous wars
The reason that France AND britain didn't show up is that they probably weren't allied to each other, so Austro Hungary was in two SEPARATE wars, however the game only displays one, because of course. Once allies come in, they'll be displayed
Sorry but your calculations with regards to the effective armour is way off. A 1/3 increase in effective amour requires only an angle of about 40 degrees. This is a significant angle but still the ship was moving closer to 60-70 degrees in relation to you which is closer to double the effective armour. Which means that you end up around the limit of your penetration. This is why you have trouble with the HE rounds. I think a lot of the times the main problem you have is the the rounds tend to hit the belt and not deck armour even at greater distances.
HE shells are too powerful as they were supposedly only really effective against merchant vessels and destroyers. For anything more heavily armored you had to use either use Semi-armor piercing shells or use normal Armor Piercing shells depending on the target's armor.
I think that in the future they need to go further into differentiating the load out for ships and include the Semi-Armor piercing shells as a separate ammunition category. They could do this by also limiting which guns can use full armor piercing shells instead of semi-armor piercing ones or by ship type.
With ships like the battleship or battle cruiser, they would have access to all three types of shells for their main guns. For cruisers, you would have to choose between Armor Piercing or Semi-armor piercing shells with the second type being high explosive shells. This is because they cannot store as much ammunition as the larger ships and they have to be designed to deal with specific targets.
Destroyers and Torpedo Boats such only have access to Semi-Armor Piercing shell and High explosive shells to they role of hunting merchant vessels, submarines, and maybe some lighter armored cruisers.
Due to this, the base armor for each class of ship should be adjusted appropriate so that you do not have Battleships and Battle Cruisers that are not well armored.
Should have been using AP regardless at close range against the heavy cruiser, because that 50% includes the deck which you'll not be likely to hit anyways. So it's pretty much 100% pen flat on against the belt.
dont know about you guys but after that intro i was just about ready to take up arms FIR DAS VATERLAND!!!!! (for the fatherland)
I had a bug sort of like how France declared war and it showed UK as against the Austro-Hungarians. Except with me I had beaten the French and was allied with Austria and Italy until said beating when they joined the Germans and declared war on me, curious thing is that only the Germanys ships were red where as the others were white obviously meaning they weren’t at war but could still attack.
Germany: Captain's, make incidents.
Also Germany: We did not cause that 15.9" hole inside that British ship.
if you get the chance you should build the Cruiser from your last challenge for the campaign :) HE SPAM FTW
I wish there was some sort of app that overlays games and other things and it is just a small box or something that you can drag onto the screen that changes the colors behind it for colorblind peeps. So you could still see things without worrying about video quality
The shell probably arked down and hit the belt after losing speed and impacting the part of the belt that bulges out?
It’s my theory but you have more experience with the game.
That's not by a lot higher than 50% , because the deck is included. But the progr does not include vertical angle of the ship. That must be added.
I've posted in the Game Labs forums a couple times about the ridiculous light ships I've encountered. I'm glad to see I'm not the only one thinking the performance of battleships vs CA, CL, and DD is pretty broken at the moment. It annoys the crap out of me when my 18 inch guns can't pen a DD 🥺
What I have noticed is that the low pen chance is because the shell hitting the deck from the side which means it is trying to pell the whole armored platform. It is realistic to some extend i guess but it is definitely annoying.
the "not 100%" to pen, is because it is calculating the deck as well.... an at 7 km it would just bounce....
So sad. Thanks for pointing out the glitches in the game. Won't be buying it anytime soon. Visually stunning, tho.
It's as if you were shooting yourself when you shot them and the same vice versa, that might explain how that ship got a bow hit.
41:24: "What they cannot do is, curve"
Football Players: :))))))))
38:43 and another quote
I think you just over-penned the top deck armor and the explosion blew the fore belt armor out
damaging a turret with over 38 inches of armor is easy... if a shell is lucky enough to hit it in the joints.
can somebody tell me how to switch on this additional info on the top, where you can see the actual speed of the enemy ships? Thx
Do you think they will add carriers? I know it's Ultimate Admiral "Dreadnoughts" not Ultimate Admiral carrier/fleet
No they said they won't
I had a med class, and that takes precedence over UAD.
Edit: I hope they add multiple save file compatibility like what you can do in custom battles where you can save multiple battles
this whole idea you have going on is just a prime example of "i only have to hit you once dex nerd."
You're fleet isn't aggressive, the Navy just needs breathing room.
Maybe it went through a unsecured hatch door behind the main tower and hit the belt from the inside I mean we are talking about the brits here
BB really is missing those secondaries. Some 4 inchers would have erased those DD
the reason why torpedos change course is that the gyro fails in them, causing them to randomly turn
That Admirals log lmao, von Bismarck would be proud. 😂
46:00 They are bouncing off the ocean floor and hitting you from below ❗
🤣😅
