Loading...The World of Warships map team really loves to hide little Easter eggs around their maps. In this episode I went searching through the Big Race map. With suggestions from AfailingHORSE and my own exploration I present the Easter Eggs of the map Big Race! Enjoy

If you have found an Easter egg and would like it featured on another episode please drop me an e-mail.
Also send me your in game name and server so I can give you credit!

I got to see the Balclutha as a kid. The ship was in really fantastic
condition.
That was great, keep them coming.
As to the Tug boat, if you think about it probably a lot of the models in
game are recreations of toys or hobbyist models because they provide a
three dimensional template to work from.
I was wondering why a late 19th century cargo ship had 26 cannon ports,
Mutiny on Bounty filming explains it.
Haha, World of Wartrains, where the battletrain drivers have a valid excuse
for always driving in straight lines.
“I’m on rails, dammit!”
Being a railroad guy myself Chase, I wonder why did they decide to use
Little River #110 for the steam engine. If anything, I would go for a
4-8-8-4 Big Boy locomotive myself (look up that engine when you get a
chance, that thing is impressive)
Where did you study Google-Mastery iChase? :D
chase … I live about 1 mile from where the Balclutha was built…
small world!
This is a little bit random but does anybody know if wargaming will ever
add the yorktown class carriers into the game? I really hope they do
because they have a ton of history behind them and are some of the most
important ships of world war II.
1st one is a clipper think
#worldofwartrains
Info I have come up with on the Tug, not that it’s much, is they started
building them in 1943. the Army version was the Army ST 45ft tug. the Navy
name was YTL 45ft tug. No record of a 271 numbered tug being made (The
navys 271 was a medium Tug or YTM) but there’s not much info as you said.
Quite a few still on the water in the great lakes area.
Great video! I love these. Actually found a video of the Pluto working up.

🙂 Sorry, had to.
Does anyone else have choppy audio?
on the new newbie map (just outside map bourder), there is a boat next to a
ice island. the island has tents on it. i’m thinking it was some ship who
explored the poles. :D
Who knew tugboats would be so elusive to find!
Maybe the Pluto tugboat has something to do with the Disney feature
“Tugboat Mickey”.
Thanks for your effort Chase :D
Boaty McBoatface Confirmed!!!
Ha! I knew I wasn’t that far off. The sailing ship at the beginning, I
thought that it looked remarkably like “Pommern”, moored at Mariehamn
harbor, Åland, Finland. Absolutely beautiful ship with quite interesting
(at least for me) civilian service history. According to Wikipedia, it is
one of the five Clyde-built tall ships still afloat, others being “Falls of
Clyde”, “Glenlee”, “Moshulu” – and “Balclutha”! The paint of ingame ship
seems most like the one on “Glenlee”.
Nice.
Question: Did u already received an Easteregg from the new ‘Neightbours’
Map?
I can’t help but feel like Wargaming ST. Petersburg is filled with modeling
fans! How else would you explain the random tugs and small craft, and now a
train!?
Anyone else getting reminded of ants Canada?
lol, world of wartrians. where the lemming trains never stops
Interesting video chase! It always amuses me that given the harsh deadlines
usually associated with game development they still find time to put in
these little Easter eggs for us to discover. I wonder what else they’ve
hidden in the other maps :).
nice video chase
World of Wartrains XD
At 9:35 in the picture of tugboat ‘Bayfield’, for 1 brief moment I thought
it was flying a CBT flag. Damn my eyesight!
We should take a moment to pay respect to the Wargaming team and their art
skills. I mean I can hardly notice the shape of those tiny boats while
playing, and they can put Texts, swimsuits and everything on them
not easter eggs. but i’m hoping one day wargaming put in if they havent
already especilly as a new map is meant to be between britain and france.
the sailing yacht the sundowner or also MFV sanu so many easter eggs i hope
are in game somewhere. also if you dont know what they are i suggest you
look them up ichase. you may be interested in the history 😉 especially the
sundowner
Now the devs will probably go “Let’s make our own boat and put it on the
next map so Chase can’t find it on google lololol”
where did storm zerx go?
the guy that allways wanted to get the first comment.
Interesting … (first from Scotland)
World War II service[edit]Canary, formerly John G. Murley, was acquired by
the Navy on 24 October 1940, and following conversion, was placed in
service on 19 June 1941 in the 4th Naval District.Reclassified YDT-7
tender[edit]On 10 January 1944 she was re-classified YDT-7 and thereafter
attached to the 5th Naval District for assignment in connection with
diving, torpedo, mine and antisubmarine programs. Buuuut it does not
resemble the in game ship.
By the way, like the vid
Oh the Balclutha, I recognized her almost immediately. I remember back in
elementary school I actually got to ‘work’ on the ship for a full day and
night as part of a school field trip. Some groups got to cook meals, others
did rigging, and some other things that were done on these Age of Sail
boats, and we even had night watch shifts. Overall it was a fun experience.
282nd
Hopefully the fix World of Warplanes before they start thinking about a
Wartrain
Living in Washington State, this video was posted at midnight… “Well
boys, I got first watch in the crow’s nest tonight…”
Damn So close
I Guess World of WarTrains would be an on rails shooter…
