Short episode, long episode, doesn't matter the length for we shall enjoy it. The spambots with tits and ass for profile pics also don't care about length but they still show up regardless.
Personally I say a carrier. Maybe not Hosho but even Ryujo is a good choice. You could save for Soryu or her half sister. (Though your task forces say ammunition ships:)) The main reason for a cv is that she can strike further. She is will be overall safer and she can hit more targets. You won't be seeing too much more of large surface ships. Convoys or small groups of ships and planes are expected. So a carrier is better suited since she gives you the ability to adapt your strike better. Also thanks to the new bombing ability (assuming it works for carriers) they can do that.
little funfact: back in ww2 the light cruiser sydney( leander class light cruiser) fought the german auxiliary cruiser kormoran (kinda the same idea like the ship you mentioned in the beginning of the vid) and got completly messed up. well saying they fought is kinda wrong. she fell for the trap like a fly in a spiderweb and got eaten alife but managed to set the kormoran of fire. the fire was uncontrollable and in the end the crew of the kormoran left her to burn out but in the end the little way worse equiped auxiliary cruiser managed to sink a real warship. sadly none of the crew of the sydney survived and even hours after the fight the crew of the kormoran reported they saw the burning wrack like a beacon on the spot they destroyed her.
Yamato should be available (Musashi will be commissioned on 5th August). Beside Kongō & Fusō (you've played previously with Haruna with IJN), there are Ise & Nagato-class Dreadnoughts available. As for the flattops, Akagi, Kaga, Sōryū, Hiryū, (all lost in the battle of Midway) etc. Of course, these are vessels were historically available, dunno about the game though. Ai needs more work from the devs.
The mod has all of the carriers included so they should be accessible to him at this point, all of the Midway carriers become available on February 9th.
Maybe that single Clemson was running troops or supplies (maybe both) since you've consistently hit every convoy containing freighters the Ai maybe trying to slip reinforcements through on fast destroyers. In regards to a battleship, as nice as the Fuso class is I'd recommend a Kongo class instead, Fuso is slower and wouldn't be suited for chasing down fast task forces the way a Kongo would. Also, if and when you get a carrier, the Kongo class would make a perfect escort ship. Not to mention most Allied heavy hitters are out of the picture by now so there are very few ships left that are above the Kongo in terms of weight class
I think the soerabaya is bugged, it should be on the very right part of the java island, instead currently which are just below Semarang Strange how the game/or the mod possibly broke that. CMIIW i havent checked past video if this bug exist from the start.
Those gaijin destroyer crews fought bravely and knew the meaning of duty. They will definitely be reborn as Japanese and will live long, meaningful lives in the Land of the Gods!
Great episode - these are the best playthroughs ever! Especially when playing the IJN. Why don`t you like VAL`s ? As far as I can remember, they were pretty successful in your last campaigns!? Best regards from Germany!
Hey man with your dominant air coverage and especially with a carrier or two, doubt you will need any Battleships to win the campaign! Especially not the big sisters, maybe use Kongo if you have to, their cruisers kinda bullied yours last episode seemed like. Two things if you can find the time...1 is just I've noticed you don't use submarines anymore doesn't matter which side your running... and is it possible to attack Australia?? Like your vids man personal favorite are the U-Boat campaigns from WW2... but I remember you did a campaign from 1980's skippering old slow loud Soviet Diesel boats that really looked challenging and fun.👍
So, wolfpack, can you send me the links for the mods and games for cold waters and war on the sea? I'm not sure where to go or how to go about it. Thanks in advance
I would say more ships are needed rather than larger ships. The convoys are largely unprotected and the warships in the theatre are not numerous enough to control all of that territory and prevent the allies from assaulting your bases. The AI has shown that it can get ships through your patrols multiple times. If they were carrying troops that could be a hassle to clean up.
Maybe you are going too fast Generally under 6 knots when close to the surface since the cavitation will give you away and the ducts can carry the sound express delivery to the escorts
Greetings. I enjoy your videos and subscribe to your channel. Maybe you, or someone else can help me. Whenever I play this game in Custom Battle mode, no matter what I do, my ships can't hit the side of a barn, yet the Japanese are spot on. Typical scenario. I have a battle group, 1 BB, 1 CA. 1 CL and 4 DD's let's say, against an equal force, clear conditions at 7 AM, open sea. I like to pick the U.S.S. Massachusetts because I live a half hour from Battleship Cove where she is displayed in Fall River, Ma. The main armament range is around 36,000 yards, and I'm battling the Yamashiro, for instance. I have closed the range to as low as under 25-20,000 yards and under these conditions, my shot still falls all around the Yamashiro, as my command starts to get pummeled! As the range closed, I have done everything the tutorial has said when it comes to hitting moving targets. Close the distance, fall of shot is loose, firing in spot mode to improve the solution. At best the solution gets no better than 62-72%. It never seems to get better, yet the range is closing, so I switch to narrow fall of shot and take it off spot fire to increase my rate of shot to match theirs, and yet my ships still can't hit the side of the barn! What gives? What am I doing wrong or is this just a flaw in the game? Have you experienced this? I know for your channel videos you pick the Campaign Mode, and the game play seems a little better replaying historically correct battles. It even seems a little better in Campaign Mode too, but I love the Custom Battle mode, yet it's not worth playing the game when it acts like I've described. Do you, or anyone else coming here have a suggestions? Thanks!
@@kevinw3267 Thanks for your advice, Kevin. I appreciate you reading my questions and responding. This morning, I deleted this game and then Steam out of my computer after having both for nearly 2 and a half years! The final straw? In campaign mode I was playing the Japanese side, and my recon aircraft detected a mixed nationality American/Australian 1 CA, 2 CL, 2 DD force entering the Coral Sea in a rainstorm, 2 AM, single battle line. My force nearby but undetected still, 3 CA, 1 CL, 4 DD, single battle line. I decided to practice in Custom Battle mode, same conditions. Practiced twice, both times being able to see the enemy force approaching after a while through low visibility, compass bearings from 60-90 degrees starboard, my ships firing star shells at various ranges in order to make the game recognize the oncoming force so I could pause and label ship classes, etc. The game would just not give it to me! Both times, for many minutes I could see the silhouettes coming at me, growing larger! Suddenly, the enemy is right on top of me before the game play acknowledges their presence! I've had enough of this beautifully cinematic game that is just really a frustrating POS game, IMHO, and I know I'm in the minority thinking that way, but I've had it. At my age in life, where nothing really worked out for me and now, I'm bored and recently retired and 64, even a malfunctioning computer game magnifies itself and all other things that didn't go well for me in life. I can do w/o all the frustration. I thought I'd have a decent retirement, continuing to read military history books and enjoying military computer games, after I've served my country and then worked hard all my life, but can't even have that! Thanks for trying to help.
@@vincentbaretti3114 First thank you for your service, there is a option in the config file that allows you to turn off nighttime having effect on hit and detection ratio. But games are supposed to be fun,if you're not having fun it's not worth it,in my opinion. Hopefully Sea Power will be coming out soon. Should check it out,if you are unaware of it. Made by the same development team members. Might explain why the game doesn't seem complete,as the game studio broke up during the development of War on the Sea.
@@kevinw3267 Thanks, Kevin. Lately, nothing is any fun. I will be on the lookout for Sea Power. I'll check here too. Maybe Wolfpack will make a video or two. . .Not too good with computers, so I won't try changing files or configurations, although you sound like you're pretty proficient doing such things. Thanks again. Take care.
Wow this game sucks more than I though. Not only is the AI totally inept at the strategic and tactical level ... they don't even get the graphics right ... e.g. run 11:55 at 25% speed and stop/go often ... notice how the incoming shells look like torpedoes without fins, and no way like 4.7" shells. Lol.
Sorry this is a shorter episode! The next one will make up for it!
The council will decide your fate
Ok
Short episode, long episode, doesn't matter the length for we shall enjoy it.
The spambots with tits and ass for profile pics also don't care about length but they still show up regardless.
It would be great if you add a BB or CVN to your current task force.
I subscribe for quality, not quantity.
Personally I say a carrier. Maybe not Hosho but even Ryujo is a good choice. You could save for Soryu or her half sister.
(Though your task forces say ammunition ships:))
The main reason for a cv is that she can strike further. She is will be overall safer and she can hit more targets. You won't be seeing too much more of large surface ships.

Also thanks to the new bombing ability (assuming it works for carriers) they can do that.
100% agree. It'll also allow for CAP to be more easier to deploy to protect convoys and other task forces

You've gotten good at ship recognition. Around 4:30 you casually looked and saw a Clemson where I saw a small blur.
I was impressed as well, but youtube compression was probably the cause of not being able to tell a gray blob was a Clemson class destroyer
Yamato should be available (Musashi will be commissioned on 5th August). Beside Kongō & Fusō (you've played previously with Haruna with IJN), there are Ise & Nagato-class Dreadnoughts available.

The mod has all of the carriers included so they should be accessible to him at this point, all of the Midway carriers become available on February 9th.
I'd probably go for a Carrier for the range, but Kongō would probably do some work too if you want more surface engagements while being fast.
If that giant Japanese submarine I400 I think, is available in this game, you should get it in the end.
This is the first UA-cam series in years that I actually look forward to watching every week
agree
Get some akizuki class ships they have multi purpose main guns they are pretty good against planes
Akizuki class won't be available until June 1942 at the earliest.
Alright, but it's Friday and I'm in binge-mode! :) Can't get enough. Have a good weekend.
Maybe that single Clemson was running troops or supplies (maybe both) since you've consistently hit every convoy containing freighters the Ai maybe trying to slip reinforcements through on fast destroyers.

ngl, the font in the titles makes me read "Tentrifugal Tampain" every dang time :D
I sometimes hate my brain^^

I love any war on the sea series you do

"Another One Bites The Dust"
You gotta get the Yamato. For the glory of the Omnissiah!

he mentioned near the start of the series that he chooses not to use submarines because he finds surface combat more enjoyable in this game
I need the 3 sisters = Yamato, Musashi and Shinano.
I don't think any mod has Shinano in the game.
Wolfpack I would really like to see some battleships or carriers please. Much appreciated for this vid
A hvy with 2LC and 3 Destroyers be nice Java fleet
I find it weird that the allied destroyers do not shoot torpedoes, I wonder is this is period correct?
Get the IJN Jun'yo
I wanted to see A Yamato Super Battleship too, oh well
So, wolfpack, can you send me the links for the mods and games for cold waters and war on the sea? I'm not sure where to go or how to go about it. Thanks in advance

It would be really funny if you did get a battleship when allies have barely a navy to their name
Short one, but it's great!
Another great one good job wolf
Nice mopping up going on
how do you get mods for war on the sea from steam?
Carrierrrrrr. Get a carrierrrrrrrr
Sydney in 6 months
Where was the episode??
Guys, did you notice how good AI can spot players sub now? Subs literally get spotted instantly. Is it a abdacom mod bug or I'm doing something wrong?
Maybe you are going too fast
Generally under 6 knots when close to the surface since the cavitation will give you away and the ducts can carry the sound express delivery to the escorts
@@cideltacommand7169 thank you for an advice!) I'll try that
What mod is this?
Sleep can wait
Like video
It's pronounced chee-la-chup (as in ketchup) lmao
sweet
Nooo. Get a CV task force
Back at playing as the enemy....When's the last time you did a U.S. campaign?..............
He finished one nine months ago.

You can change the hit rate percentage of your ships, if you're comfortable messing with the files.
