    After playing it for a week or two I actually really like the Dunkerque.

      @TakoyaKyono 6 років тому +1

      Do you still like it? The game now is oddly intent on reminding me of the year that Germany invaded France, for when ever I fire at a BB or cruiser, I get an over penetrating hit that does a measly...1940 damage. I could make a montage of this.....

      it was used to warn of heading and distance of targets to allied ships, so everyone could concentrate fire even tho only one ship can see it.

      I noticed many of the BBs have clocks, but none of them work in-game..
      Seems weird to animate turrets and AA stuff but somehow making a working clock that just syncs to your client's time wasn't considered.

  • @ZVelzy

    Most of the Dunkerque players haven't been doing the Bow on to other ships that and i've seen that her guns have issues hurting the heavier armored battlehips such as Arizona, New Mexico, and Bayern. Then again in-game she's the cruiser killer of T6.

    She is an amazing ship in game when played right, definite cruiser crusher and packs a surprise punch to DDs. IJN BBs broadside get nuked US and German are a bit tougher for her to crack but aim for guns and bridge you'll get solid returns. Or set them ablaze your choice.
    She is fast and nimble with a decent armament.
    Player her slow at the start keep close to your fleet, and use islands and reverse to throw off other ships while maintaining a fire solution. Once you feel you have advantage charge into the enemy.

      and IRL, the crew was smart, they shot the number 1 gun, then 3, then 2 and 4, that means better accuracy
      And Richelieu got timers that made her guns shoot at the same time, meaning no loss of accuracy

    The ships were only attacked after the French refused to join the British fleet. If the Germans made it to the port, they would have taken the battleships in the harbour which would have been significantly worse than what the British did. They could have caused some serious changes in the Atlantic

    0:12 "The worlds first high speed battleship," Nope. Dunkerque was launched off the slipways on October 2, 1935 not even remotely finished, Haruna was finished with her second reconstruction, which gave her 30 knots (0.5 knots faster than Dunkerque), on September 30, 1934.

    • @edwardr5793
      @edwardr5793 8 років тому +3

      don't take WG wrong tho~
      Haruna originally born as old WWI BC, and she was converted "later"
      while Dunkerque originally called by ally as first "Fast BB"
      I only simply think that.

    • @1611Miko

      Well mainly the Scharnhorsts. But they had great armor protection unlike the Dunkerque‘s. Well they were designed as “battlecruisers”, so that kind of explains it. A ship with battleship caliber guns, and that sacrifices armor protection for speed is classified as a battlecruiser.

      Mc Simon because that's the most logical answer. If they had joined the royal navy the bismark and tirpitz would never have sailed, the supply lines from America and Russia would of been protected even more so. The uboat threat could of been dealt with even more efficiently. But no the one time French people decide to not be cowards and defy the best options they get punished in under 15 mins

    • @deathlegionair
      @deathlegionair 8 років тому +16

      Except they had signed a treaty allowing them to keep their forces and lands they controlled in southern France, and doing so would have broken that treaty and guarantee their take over, Britain bombing the ship of course was seen as break of it as well. So yeah, Britain essentially screwed over what was the only parts of France not under German control due to fear.

    • @tommyleesheils2061
      @tommyleesheils2061 8 років тому +3

      +deathlegionair Germany could of easily took over southern France, we offered them to fight with us or surrender their fleet to us, they did neither so our last option was to sink these battleships so they didn't get into the hands of the Germans.

    • @dubsy1026
      @dubsy1026 8 років тому +5

      +deathlegionair no the didn't, they just became a puppet government of the Nazis. The Brits worried that the French fleet would be used against them, so they tried to have the French scuttle them. All they got was a personal promise from a French commander. Not a good thing to hang the fate of the free world on. So they sent a force to the main French anchorage. They asked that the French either join the RN, the free French forces, or sail to the Caribbean for the war. Pretty reasonable. The French refused, the British deliver an ultimatum, and the French continued to refuse, so after waiting a few hours, they opened fire. What should they have done then?

    • @nickwebster341
      @nickwebster341 8 років тому +5

      +Dubsy 102 What you are thinking of is the British attack on the small French naval squad anchored on Algeria's coast. The main French fleet was actually anchored at Toulon on France's southern coast. The Nazis ended up trying to take the fleet with tanks at first but the French began to shell them. The Nazis then sent in their troops at which point the French commanders finally decided to blow up their own ships thus scuttling most of them and denying the Nazis a bigger force to harass the RN with. Dunkerque and her sister ship were a total loss. Immediately after the scuttling the top French admiral sent a message basically saying "I told you I would deny them" in regards to the earlier correspondence between the French and RN admiralty about what to do should the Nazis attempt to take the French fleet.

      ***** first of all, your things didnt make any sense. The point is, France barely won any war by themselves since Napoleon's era. Plus America was attacked in Pearl with no proper warning, yet they manage to fought off Japan. Its not really an excuse tbh, even if you are attacked by surprised, remember that fast phase counter action can do something. Not saying that France can win against Germany, but they could have lasted more than a month. Also im an Aisan-Canadian. The East Asian type, and you tryin to out smart me, especially World War II History.... Ok LOLOLOL. Also I never like America. Theyre quite cocky (not all) but sure, theyre all fucked in November. So white boy, calm down, and look at the point. Last Frech Victory by themselves was during the Napoleon time. Then they were defeated by Prussia, 2nd Reich, and 3rd Reich.

    • @bagelsecelle9308

      ***** No war was fought without the help of an ally. Ok that is true in Modern Warfare, but in earlier years is not. Lol your weakeness is your old, your knowledge of things are decaying. Also Koreans are almost all white skins. Barely seen one who is brown. Ik wars last for a while. No wars last for 3 seconds. But the point it, you should not surrender easily like what French did. I mean how the hell you lost to Germany when you beat them in WWII? Also WWI was not even about Germany and France. It was Austria-Hungary vs. Serbia. Besides my topic is about Prussian, Kaiser, and Nazi times. Also if you estimaye 240 years, that was around the time they lost to Russia and Prussia due to Russian winter as always. Like seriously old man, your knowledge of history is decaying. Since I see that youre so butthurt of a semi joke i originally posted, I'll just assume youre one of the pussy french :^). But hey its fun to talk to a retarded old man. Also teaching Math and Geometry? Ok? Do I look like I care nor asked about youre profession? Joined the Navy? When did Canada actually seen real combat besides fighting off retarded Islamic kids with Guns? Last time our country fought a real war was around the Gulf Wars

I mean they won the war and yet they still got out produced? Especially the French? Who basically took regions from Germany and Belgium? Then you tell me they were smart and fought bravely? Lol k.
