+falloutghoul1 One lucky torpedo hit can down a Battleship. All depends on location, most Battleships had Torpedo Barrier's too prevent such an occurrence but it wasn't unheard of. In-Fact that's why the English believed they sunk the Bismarck with Torpedo's after they saw the Torpedo's not realizing :) the crew had actually placed Dynamite inside the hull of the ship in key area's too sink the ship. Torpedo's were a deadly tool in the day's of WW2. That in which both the Germans, and the Japanese had perfected.
Every gun needs a magazine plus the large amount a fuel stored on board, and battleships like those have 3-4 main guns, 6 or so flak cannons, and a myriad of heavy machine guns, not to mention all the personal firearms. Heck, even the larder would be a bit flammable with all the flour dust in such a small space.
If he hit a Magazine the ship would haven't have just lost some bits, the entire thing would have cracked in half from the resulting explosion and sunk in seconds. The game probably tweaks reality a bit in the name of gameplay so the player is more lethal. You don't survive having dozens of SUVs worth of explosives and their corresponding propellant go off inside your ship all at once.
Zanox 5377 Fully my heart dropped. Just the sheer shock of seeing it happen and thinking of all the 1,000+ people on board and then it going down like HMS Hood. one hit on the Mag and the entire thing goes off. 3 survivors from the Hood. None from that poor one though...
Lone Wolf83 I know, it took way too many for a torp and capital ships often had torpedo buffers built in, I was comparing the shock factor and the fact the video had a mag detonation which happened to the Hood from the Bismarcks shots and the sheer shock level when Britain found out Hood was gone and with only 3 survivors. I was comparing shock value and cause of death being mag detonations, not the weapon that caused them. 1 torp is a laugh to a battleship. It usually took 2-3 sqaudrons of torp planes and bombers to stand a chance of sinking a capital vessel. That or more battleships then the opponent.
This game by rights shpuld have been at least somewhat better then 4...but SH 4 was so good perhaps i was spoiled! The exterior camera and torpedo camera were absolutely top notch, the auto torpedo cam was a GREAT Feature. Manyal t argetting you could learn without spending days studying it. Mapping and sub location, on the camera at least, was so easy it became a part of the game. But SH5 was such a complicated mess they forgot the basics in favor of some stupid sub pen graphics you didnt need! Could not figure out how to get teh sub out of the dam harbor, once i did i couldnt figure out how to target. There was nowhere to learn and practice! No "Sub school" section, no training segments, GAHHThis game drove me nuts so i gave up within hours..There was no way to learn how to play it except guess work and scouring the net for some post from some smart man who knew....still just gave up, I'm guessing there will NOT be a "SH 6" ever coming - SH5 was proof of that!.
A better question is why aren't their mobs of destroyers and cruisers with all these expensive battleships and aircraft carriers just waiting to eat any submarine alive at the first sign, I mean the Americans alone had hundreds of the things.
fun fact, North Carolina survived a torpedo hit in Real life,. Ingame BOOOM!! Ammo detonated 1 shot XD. Tho the North Carolina never fought in the atlantic also
Silent Hunter 3 with the big mods was the high point of this series. SH 4 was a lazy port to the pacific with all sorts of issues. This one seems even more silly. Like 2 torps in the bow would sink a NC battleship, let alone blow its upper bridgeworks and props off. NC was in fact hit by a Japanese torp in possibly one of the worst places possible (barely forward of her number 1 main turret, which was bad because her construction meant this area had some of the least space between the outer hull and her vitals), considerably more powerful than German ones, and was able to sustain 26kt with the fleet before being sent to port for repairs. Never understood why these games (unmodded) insisted on absurd damage models (and ridiculously OP or useless, one or the other, anti-sub warfare performance by the AI). You'd think subs had 16" deck guns the way they kill ships with a few shots.
There was only a New york class ( The first battleship which is older from World war 1) and the North Carolina ( which is his own battleship class) there is no Iowa in the video , you can difference them by looking at the chimney, the North carolina chimney are a bit more in the back for the Iowa class one chimney is next to the main structure while the other one is behind. Also the Iowa class hull shape is a bit different
Kinda silly watching the N. Carolina still gamely moving on even with it's stern under water. But I gave this video a thumbs down because for more than half of it he just sat and watched. I mean what were you expecting, little US sailors to come screaming and diving off the rails? Gets boring after a while.
Did they pack the ships with dynamite in this game?

Magazine Detonation probably,
probably direct hit on the citadel

How come none of the escort vessels responded to their battleships being torn apart? You don't simply sink a battlegroup like that.
Because this game is full of bugs and its shit. The only thing good about it are the graphics of the water.
What could they have done except keep looking for this submarine that’s attacking them?
that bigass warship at 5:00... stopped right on the spot and blew up with a single torpedo?....is it a lag or something?
I think he might have hit it in the magazine
If he hit a Magazine the ship would haven't have just lost some bits, the entire thing would have cracked in half from the resulting explosion and sunk in seconds. The game probably tweaks reality a bit in the name of gameplay so the player is more lethal.

okay
wow that explosion was humongous
04:32 O_O. Torpedo impact? More like:KABOOM!!!!!
+Zanox 5377 I just jaw dropped and covered my mouth in shock at that too :o It didn't just "Impact" it hit the damn magazine!
+Alexis Hood yup! detonations like that can throw flames two hundred feet high, or blow up instantly.

Look at the US flag on the North Carolina at 8:14. Isnt it weird?
Do u use any social media account??
no north carolina was hit in her magazine and new york hes a tough cookie

the collection collection?
the houdt houdt?
Ammo rack possibly?
Have you since learned to play this game ?
***** Played them all, bit late on the reaction too m8, weird.
why aren't the other ships saving the ships that are sinking
cause if they stop they would be an easy target for the submarine so they had order not stop to save survivors
Oh!
A better question is why aren't their mobs of destroyers and cruisers with all these expensive battleships and aircraft carriers just waiting to eat any submarine alive at the first sign, I mean the Americans alone had hundreds of the things.
14:03 top ten anime deaths
I see you sunk a cruiser
fun fact, North Carolina survived a torpedo hit in Real life,. Ingame BOOOM!! Ammo detonated 1 shot XD. Tho the North Carolina never fought in the atlantic also
SAKURA CHAOS Well it never got hit in the magazine in real life

I like the idea of the American flag not burning...LOL
Torpedo Impact.
that's not a battleship! that's eather a heavy cruiser or a light cruiser
+James Sowa uhhhh no it's a battleship
North Carolina.....With His Rangefinder Tower Is Cut Off,She Is Like A Big Northampton Class
One was a fucking Iowa class battleship! Even longer than the yamato!
maybe it is a battleship carring a lot of smth flameable on its deck?
There was only a New york class ( The first battleship which is older from World war 1) and the North Carolina ( which is his own battleship class) there is no Iowa in the video , you can difference them by looking at the chimney, the North carolina chimney are a bit more in the back for the Iowa class one chimney is next to the main structure while the other one is behind.
