Grand Stallion She got b1G gUnz
love this series cool video but why are there no submarine naval legends
Daniel Kozik probably because there are no submarines in the game
ohhhh makes sense lol thanks
Portsmouth Historic Dockyard has HMS Alliance submarine there. http://www.historicdockyard.co.uk/site-attractions/off-site-attractions/hms-alliance
thanks man that is a cool Submarine HMS Alliance 👍👍👍
5 hits to a boat like that and the old girl still came back. Holy crap it’s incredible she was even able to handle one, even if it was an overpenetration.
2:22 uhhhhhh wtf is that?
ZeGreatTree :3 it just has a very funky turret was all I was confused about😂
good question
Faa di bruno
In 1916, Italy had a little problem. They’d canceled the construction of their battleship Cristoforo Colombo, but still had these spare 15-inch battleship guns lying around. What’s the Regia Marina to do?
The winning answer is “use them with spare torpedo boat engines and a bunch of concrete to make a monitor.”
Faà di Bruno would go on to serve in both WWI and WWII, but was captured by Germany in the latter conflict and renamed Biber (“Beaver”). https://worldofwarships.com/en/news/common/world-of-wtfships/
Faa di Bruno, an Ultra Low Budget Monitor-class ship.
Tier 1 Premium PLS !!
Maybe Tier 2 xD
She can have faster reload, better turret traverse, more accurate guns… There are some possibilities ^_^
Maybe for the next April Fools tournament?
To be fair, maybe she can be a serious economy game premium. She was built in 7 weeks by repurposing old equipment – maybe in game she could have 0 repair bill and credit bonus on every battle. 😉
0.5km detection range
I agree, however DO NOT make it april fools, ships obviously no joke and it would be disrespectful to the ship and those who sailed on her, DO NOT change the stats to make it more competitive at tier 1 because anyone who goes out in the ship will be doing it for the fun of it anyway, dont know if a premium ship has a purpose at tier1 but they could charge 1 doubloon for it (with a dedicated port slot tier to it) and give it no repair bill or something similar. I’d buy it for 1db but not if its going to cost me a slot. I’d love a little dinghy ship thats practically for coast patrol.
I’d like to see this as a Tier 1 ship. But what category would it be under? Destroyer or Cruiser? Doesn’t really fit either….. I’d still buy a port slot for it.
I wouldn’t want to be the one going 8.9 knots in a tuna can.
It would have to be in a new class. “Target”
Or perhaps the “Cannon Fodder” Class.
New class – LST: Large Slow Target
Gunboat diplomacy
10:11 “There is a distance between the men and the officer’s aft.”
Just let that sentence “sink in” for a moment. xD
Ahoy matey!
As it should be.
Prepare a boarding party
Good thing the navy didn’t condone that activity or else there would be no space
goddamit
Good thing they decided to preserve her. I understand the economic hardships Great Britain has gone through but it’s a real shame that many legendary ships of the Brittish Navy ended their life as scrap…
Same for many ships for many nations.
It is a real crying shame, we invented the battleship and the carrier and have none preserved. Of all the RN ships from WW1/2 only about six remain (Belfast, Cavalier, Caroline, M33 and two private owned escorts and one of them, HMS President, is at risk of being scrapped), plus a couple of post war subs and DDs in other countries.
HMS Valiant, last BB built, never saw combat would have been a perfect museum, but na scrap like everything else – all that remains of Britain’s Battleship fleet is the two guns outside the IWM.
The carrier HMS Illustrious was promised to be a museum ship a few years back, but the government went back on it and still scrapped her. Shameful.
American naval vessels are actually quite well-preserved in many cases. The last four major battleships of the U.S. Navy are preserved to this day because they were being used up into the Persian Gulf War in 1992.
Really, the only ones that weren’t preserved very well were the American Civil War ships, but, even then, there’s been efforts to recover some of them like the USS Cairo and the USS Monitor’s turret. In fact, of the original monitor-class type vessels based off of the USS Monitor, the only one that exists to this day in a floating condition is the SMS Leitha of the Autro-Hungarian Empire and that was built specifically by the Austrians. So, none of the original Monitor-class vessels built by the United States exist anymore.
This was actually pretty interesting.
Fascinating . But in reality, terrifying, and typical to throw some men on board and say “here boys” make this sh*t work. While a few rich greedy power hungry people sit at home sipping tea in the afternoon and brandy after dinner at night.
soapboxing eh?
Except that these rich men had their sons in Navy as well, true they were mostly officers, but that was no guarantee of survival (and if you were in Brittish army you were actualy less likely to survive as an officer than as an enlisted man).
Great video with a very historic ship, I hope you do one of these to Averof aswell!
Nice to see that little heros get attention also.
While being a game developer, Wargaming surpasses the History channels when it comes to bringing up certain ships in spotlight. gj
Hey WG, since Gallipoli is mentioned in this episode why not having an episode on the ship that changed the outcome of it? Turkish Minelayer Nusret. The mines she layed were the main reason for British to cancel their break through plan on Constantinople.
this would make a fun tier 2 dd for the british dd line :).
At ten knots??
more like a tier 0 training ship or tier 1 “for the lulz”. bit like mikasa BB.
pls put M33 in the game
