And “tow” feature that requires critically damaged ships to be towed back to port. That way you have to make decision to lose combat power to redeem the points
This series got me to reinstall War on the Sea and install the mod, where I have since "sunk" a battleship in the first week by watching it ram a merchant in Singapore. Fun times.
Killerfish really does not do AI well, which is the main reason I have found their games somewhat disappointing. I love the simplified arcade submarine combat in Cold Waters for those times I don't want to spend hours staring at a sonar waterfall in Dangerous Waters, or sweeping the seas for merchants in Silent Hunter. But the AI is so pants-on-head stupid that at lower difficulty levels it's a cakewalk, and the only way they could increase the difficulty was by allowing the AI to cheat so that every mission turns into an hour of underwater Top Gun as you dodge dozens of torpedoes that have 360 degree detection arcs, launched by enemies that know your exact position at all times.
I guessing the fact that DC got the fires out is what saved her, a ship has to be on fire in order for the game to decide whether or not to scuttle her.
I’ve been watching your older war on the sea videos, and I’m so glad you’ve kept an identical feel to them while also making them far more movie like! I wish I could do editing like this…
Really like the invasion plan to take the air field at Borneo. CAP over your ships is a nice edge, since we have limited carrier power, at this stage. Good thing we've got Ole' :Wolfpack" ...rathter than Gormley.
One of the Dutch oilers was called 'Doorman', the name of the rear admiral in command of the Abdacom fleet destroyed in the battle of the Java Sea. There is no reason why a Dutch oiler would be called that in 1942 tbh
@@justit1074 No, lots of Dutch famous admirals, but Karel Doorman was the first of any renown with that name, even if he came from a military family. Furthermore, oilers tended not to be named after admirals, it would probably be considered almost an insult to name an oiler after a famous admiral.
@@remko2 i doubt a civilian shipping company, which would have originally built and operated an oiler like this would really care about military naming conventions
HMS Warspite (03) was also Britain’s most successful warship. She served in the First World War and in numerous operations in the Second World War, earning the most battle honours of any Royal Navy ship. JUTLAND 1916, ATLANTIC 1939, NARVIK 1940, NORWAY 1940, CALABRIA 1940, MEDITERRANEAN 1940-43, MALTA CONVOYS 1941, MATAPAN 1941, CRETE 1941, SICILY 1943, SALERNO 1943, ENGLISH CHANNEL 1944, NORMANDY 1944, WALCHEREN 1944, BISCAY 1944. And also during the battle of Calabria Warspite achieved one of the longest range gunnery hits from a moving ship to a moving target in history, hitting the Italian battleship Giulio Cesare at a range of approximately 24 km (26,000 yd)
@@kieranfurlong6368 She also survived a Fritz X, sank two Italian heavy cruisers- one of which she hit 7 tims in a single broadside, and the only reason the 8th didn't hit was because the ship was too short. On top of that, Warspite singlhandedly sank 15% of Germany's destroyers. Most successful battleship in history.
I think Wolfpack here is facing the same issue as the Tokyo Express IRL. They literally worked their destroyer into the ground in the Soloman Island campaign. Maybe about time he sends all the damaged ships for repair.
Found your channel with this series, just want to say you are the most interesting channel in this field, the effort and production value in these videos is better than other channels and is appreciated
Love it soooo much. And even if i would like to see an episode every day, your schedule every 2-5 days makes it more interesting. Happens to me often if i miss a few daily episodes and one day i stop watching. Keep up the good work, especially your epic intro(s)!!! Greetings from Villach SKA
Part of me is wondering if things may have gone ok if you'd tried steaming Electra in reverse - seemed like going ahead was forcing the flooding in the bow to get worse. Just a thought.
I would love to learn more about your methodology for deploying scout aircraft and keeping a good coverage of scout aircraft. In the map view I often see you have many aircraft up. I'm wondering if there is a sensible way to organize the chaos. I'm both interested in learning how you do it but I'm also thinking about how I play the game myself.
You have surprised me with episode 23. And your intention of invading Borneo. Logical - I suppose! But I would have expected you to put two more Subs into action. And yes, you have added two light cruisers and a small oiler and troopship to your convoy. I think that you need a full submarine group waiting for that big fleet of two Battleships and the fleet carrier and two heavy cruisers and four destroyers near Singapore. That requires to be scuppered if you're going ahead with this invasion of Borneo. I'd take a lick at the nearest port on Celebes as well! Put that out of commission for a few months. As well as others in Eastern Borneo.
That would be a good plan except He’s intentionally not using many subs because of how powerful they are when under player control in this game. He could probably take another bite from the apple with his current sub though, taking that second carrier would be a huge boost in terms of command points and it would make that northern task force vulnerable to land based air attack.
@@themecoptera9258 Perhaps!!! But it would also spare one sub to patrol near to Singapore, and the other to scope out the territories of Southern Borneo, where he intends to land forces on. The third sub could patrol the waters between Eastern Coast of that Island and the Celebes Sea area. Just in case the AI/Japanese did so - through there and putting him on the defensive, instead of going on the offensive. There is the advantage of this idea to put a sub there. So there's some warning of a second prong coming through there and being able to take out any flat-top which could decimate his landing force there. And that is where I would do so. And so he should. So that he won't be on the defensive and be able to mount a solid air attack if these forces appear in the Java Sea area. He does read all of our suggestions for strategy. And to a degree, he follows them. At the end of this matter. He follows his own considered choice. But having observed him and two others who are doing the same campaign. I'm making comparisons and drawing on their own ways of doing it. I wouldn't be too surprised to hear that he has adopted the tactic of observation of the other two and being a bit cautious in how he is doing it! My own method of doing it. Gives me the advantages of using balance in strategic planning! Weighing up the chances - but looking for means of intercepting force that could threaten any such landing operations. There's still a very formidable force of two Battleships, Fleet Carrier, two heavy cruisers -at least - a light cruiser, perhaps and maybe four destroyers which could come down from Singapore into the Java Sea area that could threaten Batavia for instance, and forestall any operation of taking Palembang for instance. And also place at risk the landing operations in Southern Borneo, by that extension. His supplies there are precariously low at Batavia. Though he does have a strong holding force. I fear that powerful battlegroup of opposing vessels could come down from the Singapore area. That's why I have been arguing for more submarines. Also the Celebes Sea area between Celebes and Borneo also require a patrol of a submarine there. Hence I would put a patrolling sub there as well! I pursue comprehensiveness at work. And that is the strategy I believe would work best in this instance. I'm weighing up the odds and ends and coming up with precautionary measures which could make his landing operations in Southern Borneo successful. Plus the fact. I'm following Field Marshal Bernard Law Montgomery's way of doing so. It was meticulous attention to detail and planning that scuppered both the Afrika Korps and the Italian Armed forces in North Africa. And the US General who landed forces in Tunisia. Eisenhower.. also heeded the advice from there as well. I believe that MacArthur also followed the intention of this as well. Against the Japanese forces. I simply advise the same way as well!
I saw the odd Japanese Destroyer and proportionately to employ the Hurricanes and Buffaloes to deal with it is logical and was the right choice. However the two Destroyers and this one on it's own could be the eyes of that bigger fleet as mentioned previously. Checking out the defences of Batavia. The AI is getting desperate. Four Destroyers appearing in the Java Sea is also not particularly unsurprising.. these have been sunk as well. By Task Force Python. And two of his Destroyers have suffered damage as well. In this instance.
When strafing, attack from directly in front or astern (preferred). You'll land a LOT more hits. Basically get all those shots to go along the length of the hull.
It’s like the devs heard you say “we never get mag explosions on enemy ships…” so they made it so sneezing sets off destroyers’ magazines… all of them… especially your own.
What always hits the spot for me is those long slightly drawn out color shots of the ships sailing past or a japanese ship slowly sinking to the bottom!
They had a 1943 built destroyer for civilian sale in Norfolk VA at one point a few years back, only 350k, I was sooo tempted to buy it and start a crew lol
@@Wolfpack345 No biggie, dude. I hadn't known I could rearrange the ship/plane lists until I saw you do it in one of your videos. If we don't help one another who will? (something my grandfather used to say)
As nice detail that would be interesting to see that the end of the campaign is a list of all the ships used in the campaign, and a date when which they were sunk
lol you came in and scored 2 bomb hits with no sights and a guess! thats better than a dozen player AI bombers could do. Electra is a brave little ship, just like her counterpart.
Suggestion... Yarra is built for anti-sub operations. Put her with one of your Supply Convoys to protect them from Subs. Take it from an old Navy Vet... Turn INTO torpedo attacks! NOT away from them. You can maneuver better turning into the track. This isn't my opinion, it's been Navy practice since WW1.
Holy wow, I think you really need to send many of your ships to drydock for repairs. So many of them with heavy damage. Otherwise you risk a battle where you heavily damaged ships will end up sunk.
“Heavy” damage in wots is kinda misleading if you have minor damage to a bunch of different compartments, it’ll show as heavy damage, even if it doesn’t affect the ship’s ability to fight.
"All our good destroyers are suffering mag explosions." I would argue that they are not "good destroyers" then ... there is something wrong with our bloody destroyers this week. Command: Electra, Dive! Dive! Dive! Electra: .. but we have not closed the hatches on the funnels yet ... we do not even have these hatches ... Command: So what? Electra: It would be a one way trip ... Command: Tell me you had no magazine explosion ... it's your own fault! Electra: ... (sigh) ...
Unfortunately, this is not a thing in the game. He could upgrade a port towards being a level 5, which would allow him the ability to send ships to repair (I typically have a few of these depending on the campaign I play), but he can't buy ships from it. Not to mention, upgrading ports takes a LOT of fuel, supplies, and engineering equipment (Levels 4+5 combined are 7,000 supplies, 700 fuel and engineering).
You only spend points on ships. Aircraft are no point cost, and will replenish over time at a cost of some supplies, fuel, and engineering (with a mod, vanilla WotS just take time) The only way to get more aircraft is to either buy an aircraft carrier or upgrade a location's airfield.
Also, since today is St.Patrick's day, it would have been cool, if the hurricanes could have sported green four leaf clover ☘️ 🍀 markings. Happy St Patrick's day!
Another episode after two days? You're spoiling us. I might look into picking this game up - wonder if it runs on Mac, or if I'd have to get a dedicated gaming PC.
During the Battle of Tassafaronga USS New Orleans ate a Japanese torpedo that blows its bow clean off. Damage control party contain the flooding and fires. Then ship sailed 50 miles stern-first to Tulagi harbour where crew jury-rigged a temporary out of coconut palm logs and then sail another 1500+ miles stern-first to Sidney for dockyard repairs. 🙃
Is splitting fire between all the ships and not just destroying 1 then moving to the next a more efficient way to kill the ships as they seem to get an accuracy buff the more damage they take?
Thanks for another good episode. You should take the time in the next episode or the one after to go through the list of Japanese ships and see how many they've lost/have left. I've said this before but it's safe to say the Japanese have lost this war because of your resistance in the Java Sea. I really hope you continue this series until at least Singapore is back under Allied control.
There must have been at least 30 or more bomber sorties sent out in an attempt to at least hit an IJN ship with a >1% success rate yet here we are with our first Hurricane bombing run and it yields a ~50% success rate. Time to retire all of your twin engine bombers for fighters with bombs.
when i try to change the ammo type of one of my ships, it changes the ammo type for the whole squad... even when i am not changing the ammo type of the lead ship. how do i change the ammo type of just one ship while leaving the others to fire another type? you should do tutorials. i think you would be great at it.
It's weird, in my playthrough, Repulse is shown as available for recruitment for 70 command points, even though I know she was sunk before the start of this campaign.
Why not strafe from stern down whole length of the ship? More rounds would seem to make hits that way. I noticed when you attack from the side many rounds fall short or go to far but all or most of those would hit ship of you strafe it lengthwise. I think that strategy would work better but I could be wrong

One thing I think they should add to this game, is an abandon ship command, and life boats in the water, where you can pick up survivors.
This game has still so much potential. Unfortunately the developers went really silent in the last months.
It's not a bad idea.
More likely have the Japanese do."casual warcrimes" by firing on the lifeboats
And “tow” feature that requires critically damaged ships to be towed back to port. That way you have to make decision to lose combat power to redeem the points
Or having nearby ships assist, e.g. taking off the crew. Maybe pulling that off successfully could refund a small portion of the lost points?

It would be neat to see separate task forces made out of ships from the same nations i.e. Dutch, Aus, British, or American.

A flight of 4 aircraft armed with rockets all but guarantees sinking a destroyer. They are quite effective.
Suggestion...
Yarra is built for anti-sub operations.
Put her with one of your Supply Convoys to protect them from Subs.
Take it from an old Navy Vet...
Turn INTO torpedo attacks! NOT away from them. You can maneuver better turning into the track.
This isn't my opinion, it's been Navy practice since WW1.
Maybe in mods to come they'll improve base interfaces making the ship to shore etc more detailed! We'll see
This is a great series !
You do not disappoint

Holy wow, I think you really need to send many of your ships to drydock for repairs. So many of them with heavy damage. Otherwise you risk a battle where you heavily damaged ships will end up sunk.

Command: Tell me you had no magazine explosion ... it's your own fault!

can you improve the port in Java to do basic repair so your ships have a chance to make it back to Australia.

Do you have to spend command points on planes? How do you get more aircraft?

Get yourself a British T class submarine. Good subs with great torpedoes.
Is a Repair Ship, like the U.S.S. Vestal, available to provide at least moderate repair closer than Darwin?
FINALLY
NEW EPISODE WOOOOO!!!!!!!!
When can we get another Uboat series please wolfpack ######😊
County class would be cool to see :)
The problem really with Royal navy destroyers is they were prety much seen as disposable assets. They never had much in the way of survivability.
should get a wolfpack of subs out hunting as well
Another episode after two days? You're spoiling us. I might look into picking this game up - wonder if it runs on Mac, or if I'd have to get a dedicated gaming PC.
Man it is such a b******* the amount of damage some ships can take and stay afloat.
During the Battle of Tassafaronga USS New Orleans ate a Japanese torpedo that blows its bow clean off. Damage control party contain the flooding and fires. Then ship sailed 50 miles stern-first to Tulagi harbour where crew jury-rigged a temporary out of coconut palm logs and then sail another 1500+ miles stern-first to Sidney for dockyard repairs. 🙃
Is splitting fire between all the ships and not just destroying 1 then moving to the next a more efficient way to kill the ships as they seem to get an accuracy buff the more damage they take?
Consider obtaining an additional submarine
I agree. Two subs could crush that carrier task force up there where O-19 was patrolling.
Thanks for another good episode. You should take the time in the next episode or the one after to go through the list of Japanese ships and see how many they've lost/have left. I've said this before but it's safe to say the Japanese have lost this war because of your resistance in the Java Sea. I really hope you continue this series until at least Singapore is back under Allied control.
There must have been at least 30 or more bomber sorties sent out in an attempt to at least hit an IJN ship with a >1% success rate yet here we are with our first Hurricane bombing run and it yields a ~50% success rate. Time to retire all of your twin engine bombers for fighters with bombs.
Missed opportunity to make a "swarm of angry bees" task force with 20 Vosper MTB S1 Destroyer Escorts. Sad day, very sad.
I may try that haha
Sub 19 didn't go up and sink the other carrier and the battleships?
With her clear ambitions to join the submarine service you'd almost think Electra was a german destroyer...
Hey Wolfpack, you think you will play Ultimate Admiral Dreadnoughts?
when i try to change the ammo type of one of my ships, it changes the ammo type for the whole squad... even when i am not changing the ammo type of the lead ship. how do i change the ammo type of just one ship while leaving the others to fire another type? you should do tutorials. i think you would be great at it.
It's weird, in my playthrough, Repulse is shown as available for recruitment for 70 command points, even though I know she was sunk before the start of this campaign.
Repulse? Or is it Renown which is available in the campaign
@@simselmore5625 Ship name is Repulse.
@14:28 did anyone else hear a cat? Not bashing just asking so I know I’m not that crazy.
Yep. Sounds like Wolfpack resupplies his cat not as diligently as he is resupplying Java 😆
@@090giver090 Sadly, I have no cat :(. It is actually the soundtrack haha
Most dangerous job in the java sea working on a destroyer
Is this gane fully released or still in pre release like alot of games on steam?
Finally, a night engage
Why not strafe from stern down whole length of the ship? More rounds would seem to make hits that way. I noticed when you attack from the side many rounds fall short or go to far but all or most of those would hit ship of you strafe it lengthwise. I think that strategy would work better but I could be wrong
I'm amazed at how much ammo those fighters carry, multiple strafing runs, really?
game is on sale for 20 bucks right now.
Good to know!
Everybody target the same ship, get them sunk much faster
Every ship alive is firing, kill them one at a time rapidly, spreading fire allows them to yeet things back at you
