This episode really demonstrates the reason for the death of battleships as an effective deterrence. The loss of aircraft in attacking a battleship is a pittance in comparison to the capital expenditure to construct a battleship.
Having said that the American fleet make-up leaves a bit to be desired. Make it up to 10 ships with some Atlantas and maybe 6 Fletchers in a decent formation with destroyers outboard of the battleships as ablative armour. Oh, and maybe maneuver so you're not presenting a perfect broadside. Sure, you'd prolly still get whacked pretty hard but you'd be unlikely to actually loose a battleship. Having said that, the AI would just sail on into oblivion anyway, rather than retire. SIGH.
@@Faolon-dx2ft unfortunately this series is already finished because he won but maybe there's gonna be an american or even an european Front to do a series of episodes on.
That's the first plane we have seen crash into a ship and that flack is also getting heavier. They are making this into a good game thanks to your help with all the mods that have been made it could have been a totally different game with far fewer points being gained.
BTW Wolfpack, I would love a short series where you load up old saves from just before big fun battles to try wildly different strategies. Just an idea!
I must say, props to the American for getting past the sub scouting screen. They did get quite close to the island before being spotted. 👏 Val Pilot: you think I carry bomb!? I AM THE BOMB!!!!!!!!!!
Oh boy !! This game is above and beyond. The creators have brought us a game which can challenge and inspire us for a long time. This game will take me away from AGE of Empires ll ( a long long time favorite) and bring me squarely into the middle of the twentieth-century, a time of conflict in multiple theaters requiring new strategies and tactics. Kudos and applause also to my son, Wolfpack 345 and the folks at the STEAM gaming network for bringing this superlative game to my computer.
I just finished watching your whole War on the Sea series and its amazing content with a great content creator behind it. Your editing is very impressive with the introduction, the fade aways and the cinematic shots, just overall really impressive stuff man. When it comes to gameplay i also really like how much in control you are. All the time there is aircraft in the sky, all the taskforces are patroling on their courses and, as of now, not even one battleship and carrier of yours has been sunk, very awesome gameplay to say the least. In conclusion ill just say keep it up Wolfpack and i cant wait for your next upload of War on thr Sea.
@@raymondshivers2092 Frankly i dont believe so. My source for that is the playthrough of Stealth17 Gaming and in that one he also did not loose a single battleship or carrier. I think it seams weird to us because of the fact that War on the Sea is actually just really strong when it comes to air attacks and thats why Shokaku and Zuikaku are the most important assets to Wolfpack, from my view. Two other secondary factors are that Wolfpack rarely engages with surface fleets with mainly submarines and aircraft doing the damage and also that the AI is really just weak in that game in many occassions.
@Raymond Shivers If you are suggesting I am save scumming or editing out my losses I can assure you that is not the case. The AI in this game is hopelessly bad, stratigically and tactically. Like Lukas said I also tend to take engagemts that are overwhelmingly in my favor. I don't think many content creators, that took the time to learn the mechanics of the game before making content, have lost a major engagement. If you look through the forums as well you will see bad AI is the number one complaint when it comes to this game.
@@Wolfpack345 100% and thank you for backing me backing you 😅 I canr wait for more War on the Sea uploads of yours and also i think now is the time for you to really put the engagements secondary and focusing on an effective supply line to really get the objectives done because what i sadly see a lot of content creators do is that they just keep on focusing on patrols and looking for engagements while neglecting their convoys and then loosing passion in the game and complaining that it is taking to long and in some cases just giving up on it as a whole and i wish for that not to happen to you as you as a content creator and combined with the content you put out on War on the Sea is a great mix and i wish for you to not stop playing it without finishing it.
I liked your videos so much, that I bought War on the Sea yesterday to try It myself. I'm loving It, despite the lack of time compressor during naval engagements. Continue the good job Wolfpack345!
It was so much fun to tease CV to attack you before the CV rework update lol Those planes just "disappear" But after CV Rework the CV have you for lunch .....
I heavily recommend to spam torpedo the higher class BB's this can add more flooding to the compartments Also its important to wait a bit after doing a attack to make sure the ship sinks (if you leave before it does, the ship will re-appear with same damage)
It would be fun to see if the Americans try something like a reverse battle of Leyte Gulf, to try and engage your carriers with their men-of-war. Would love to see how that would go ahah!
To be honest, I'm finding the enemy AI to be perfectly optimised to feed you large numbers of impotent & ineffective targets to destroy. Any time you have a naval battle that ends with surface losses of one destroyer versus well over 100 ships including numerous capital ships, I'm not sure how much of a challenge it all is...
I love this series!!! I wish you weren’t limited by just 2 Japanese Carriers. The Battle of the Coral Sea had 3 Japanese Carriers in it, so I wish the Shoho was available to you!!!

Please do the kamikaze attack using land based Zero...It’s the most efficient force in the game...works for anything afloat by struck in the entire flight into a ship (2 for destroyer, 4-5 for CL and CA dunno for BB)...
Well the ultimate test probably with Germany in atlantic only few ship to their name it will be hard lol. This would be your playground with subs all day, all of that achievement with few losses you ace this campaign.
When that ship sank and capsized, those gun turrets should have fallen out.. They're only fit in there by gravity and aren't actually connected to the ship in any way.

The king (battleship) is dead. Long live the king (airplanes/carriers).
Yeah, the aircraft defenses of the time were too easy to overwhelm. Not sure it would be better today.

The Americans after losing 2 Battleship taskforces:
Third time's the charm right?
**five minutes after sending the 2 battleships**
one sunk and one damaged
It is a solid strategy ;p
I wait the next episode espexially when you conquest enemy base
@@Wolfpack345 If this was a real campaign I mean... The Americans would have already retreated by now.

10:34 i got a heart attack, cause i thought he said:"that'll do it for todays episode "
Haha! That would be a shot one for sure
You're not the only one!
Im no longer having a bad day i think the americans are the ones having a bad day
tell that to the last couple admirals who got assigned to Alaska
BTW Wolfpack, I would love a short series where you load up old saves from just before big fun battles to try wildly different strategies. Just an idea!
I may do something like that.
@@Wolfpack345 Do you ever use your alternate director (usually on BBs and CAs)?
I have in the past. I don't do it too frequently though
*Sees Wolfpack’s Kantai Kessen*
Nimitz: Mom can we get Kantai Kessen?
USA: No, we have Kantai Kessen at home.
Kantai Kessen at home:
glub glub....sinking noises.
I must say, props to the American for getting past the sub scouting screen.
They did get quite close to the island before being spotted. 👏
Val Pilot: you think I carry bomb!? I AM THE BOMB!!!!!!!!!!
Battleships always promise an epic episode
They are spicing things up! That is for sure!
Battlewagon ;)
9:15 I see you've used Atlantic Fleet's "The Loss" soundtrack, like it, and also feel down inside hearing it.
I also like how I hear "Waking the Giant" after it ends.

They should allow custom battles so you can have two equally matched fleets face each other
They have custom battle
They're already in the game
forgot how much i loved watching this series, genuinely its underappreciated for how simple but just fun to watch it is

What a way to wake up! BattleShip combat with Wolfpack.
Ain't nothing like a good coffee and the sound of sinking battleships in the morning.
This is currently my favourite series on UA-cam! Keep up the amazing work!
"gotta love that 5 inch spam"
God, don't remind me of my least favorite WoWs strat, lol
Lol, I can see how that would be annoying in WoWs
"the ship is on fire!"
Oh boy, here we go.
It was so much fun to tease CV to attack you before the CV rework update lol
Those planes just "disappear"
But after CV Rework the CV have you for lunch .....
I can't say that's really a bad thing.
People shouldn't be able to get a perma fire on a BB for free because they're hiding in smoke.
I have to agree with everyone that I absolutely love this series!!!! Please don't stop it... ever.....
I heavily recommend to spam torpedo the higher class BB's this can add more flooding to the compartments
Also its important to wait a bit after doing a attack to make sure the ship sinks (if you leave before it does, the ship will re-appear with same damage)
I do love the HK groups excellent use of older destroyers
It would have been cool to see the turrets fall of when the ship flips over when sinking
Or maybe debris falling over from the ships as it began its final dive...
But maybe we are asking the graphic engine too much.
Started watching the series 4 days ago. Just catched up now. Great videos, by the way. My fav series so far...
Your Vals are like elite forces. Great upload.
Watching large ships sinking from the underwater perspective is so spoooooooky!
I wish they can make turret falling out if the ship goes down capsized.
It would be fun to see if the Americans try something like a reverse battle of Leyte Gulf, to try and engage your carriers with their men-of-war. Would love to see how that would go ahah!
The betties were very good I’m eager to see Guadalcanal operate those seeing them more in action would be awesome .
Watching this campaign unfold was a great pleasure to see.
Thank you very much. 👏😎🙏
I have really been enjoying this series and look forward to each and every episode!
Great re-visit. Always like u commentary. Good work brah!
Well managed fighting . Hey , if you sink all the enemy in the same place , after the war recovery of the wrecks will be easier .
You could make an intro like that for a mom shopping at the grocery store and I'd be fired up to watch.
Lmao

Love this series . My favourite youtuber
Ah it is a good day to be bored! Loving the series so far Wolfpack, hope they send the avengers helicarrier at you next to mix things up lol
Torps appearing on the map would greatly reduce the suspense of torpedo engagements. And it would make the game easier for the player.
Oooh new vid
What a great way to start the day!
Really enjoying this series
The Americans are on their last legs, sending out all of their battleships to attempt to win a final battle and turn the tides.
KFG has very good music in it's games.
I agree.
Best series on the net!!!
Japanese: *sink the battleship taskforces*
American 1: "The japanese are taking over at Guadalcanal water, what should we do?"
American 2: "Send the same taskforce, 2 battleships, 1 light cruiser, and 2 destroyers."
American 1: "..."
American 2: "Sir?"
American 1: "That's.... A VERY GREAT IDEA!"
Omg that bomber pilot, most honorabu my dude. The emperor will bestow your family with generous thanks.
The Val missed and splashed near the ship.
When a ship is going down I'd like to see some underwater explosions
I've waited so long for a kamakzie and finally got my wish!
Wolf, could you continue to upgrade base on Guadalcanal and finally smash marines on the island? With better airfield you could use more Betties
The amount of engineering/fuel points is super slow in replenishing or he would. He keeps shipping them over
One shouldn't be happy to see an American Battleship sink. But in this context I think we are allowed. :-)
Wow that kamikaze attack was insane no wonder she sank
Cant wait for the Atlantic stuff on this game
Please do the kamikaze attack using land based Zero...It’s the most efficient force in the game...works for anything afloat by struck in the entire flight into a ship (2 for destroyer, 4-5 for CL and CA dunno for BB)...
9:57
Is that sound effect from Silent Hunter?
09:35 I see you've added the sinking sound from Silent Hunte 3.
I look forward to a new serie on this game, if you have the time and patience.
I have always planed on doing another series. I have been doing SH on the channel for almost 2 years straight. I'm taking a break.
Well the ultimate test probably with Germany in atlantic only few ship to their name it will be hard lol. This would be your playground with subs all day, all of that achievement with few losses you ace this campaign.
Can u upgrade the Guadalcanal Airfield to Lvl 3? U hve enough supplies to do so
May I recommend the Victory at Sea soundtrack?
Fantastic intro!!!
I love the kates! Please keep using them xx
I'm loving the updates to this game.
Just wish resources replenished a bit faster.
As always ... Great Episode
cant wait for the next video when you deal with that battleship taskforce :^)

What's up with that Atlanta's shooting at 4:15? It looks like the shells are exploding right after leaving the barrels.

I wish they had damage models like turrets blown up, ships broken in half, bridges destroyed, etc.
I'm optimistic that it will be implemented later.
Find them, chase them, sink them!

ALL HANDS LOST!
Does this game have a complete campaign for the entire war like from 41-45 ? Thanks so much and great series BTW
Pretty interesting fights.
I love your content! By the way, Shiratsuyu is pronounced Shi-ra-tsu-yu.
This game makes me want to play battle stations pacific rn
when did they add in player torpedo icons? thats really cool
Do you have plans for additional War on the Sea series?
Another great video, thank you Wolfpack345! Does the game let you know the damage caused by a Val or Kate crashing into a ship?
When that ship sank and capsized, those gun turrets should have fallen out.. They're only fit in there by gravity and aren't actually connected to the ship in any way.
Wolf, a quick question, the first battle/campaign in the War on the Sea game is? Midway? Coral Sea? Other area? Thanks
I am very interested in getting this game - does it have difficulty settings to start the campaign?
* for the Emporer intensifies *
Is Akatsuki in the game?
If so get her, 9 torps can help any engagement
