KM designera did made preliminary design study if build ship able to support such massive guns would be possible but even they quickly realized that as much as build it would be in fact possible, her sheer size (which would made Bismarck class looking like Admiral Hipper class in comparision) would made her maintenance a pure nightmare... so this design never left initial project design stage.

@@asheer9114 that would be statistically impossible lol

Lol

Credit to those captains - despite seeing their comrades being obliterated they tried to lay alongside at point blank range in an effort to do damage.

@@BrotherMunro they definitely tried hahaha

@@BrotherMunro thank you definitely gunna have to watch some.... alot of your other videos

I'm no expert on the specifics of magazine detonations; but propellants are low explosives and the explosives contained in the shells themselves are high explosives - propellants cooking off are definitely no joke, but you're not getting the completely "catastrophic", stereotypical explosions from those. The flash fire "columns" are supposed to be your propellants going up. The catastrophic explosives will come from the HE going up. But this is all naturally interconnected, as one going off would lead to the other going off. I'm not educated enough to know if there are any recorded cases of the propellant mags going off without it triggering the shells

@@tommeakin1732 I don’t know for sure, but I’d imagine that in this situation quantity has a quality all its own. Each shot has a charge of 660 pounds of powder vs the HE/HC shells having a bursting charge of ~156 pounds. And every round isn’t going to be HE, especially when the ship is expected to engage capitol ships. However, in Korea, Vietnam, and the reactivating in the 90s, I’d imagine more HE would be present.

@@tommeakin1732 the battleship's magazine and internal armor citadel are are effectively a pressure vessel. Anytime you have deflagration in a confined space, the pressure will build until either the fuel source is exhausted or the pressure vessel ruptures. Hundreds of tons of propellant cooking off in the magazine will turn it into a bomb, and there's no way the pressure will be able to vent fully through the hoists. High explosives are as a rule more stable than low explosives. Low explosives/deflagrants will ignite with enough heat, but many high explosives will not detonate without a specific level of explosive shock. This is why dynamite will ignite with a fuse, but TNT requires a starter explosive called a detonator. In the case of a magazine fire, the shell bursting charges probably wouldn't detonate unless they had fuses in place. Remember, these shells will survive slamming into armor plate without spontaneously detonating.

Bruh Tillman I-IV we’re 60k-90K tons

Why not just an Alaska class?

Isn’t that just a ignorant-ly built battlecruiser?

Lol, to them it must be hell being hit with a shell that large

H-45 is called a super star destroyer, not a BB

How big the displacment would be? 200 000 Tons?

@@jurkoskvarka2154 Judging by the 'very' rough calculations I've done, we'd be talking about a ship with a length of just over 2,092 feet, or 637 meters in metric. To put that into perspective, you could line up two Iowa-class battleships end-to-end and have just enough room to stack a Fletcher-class destroyer behind them, if you shaved about four and a half feet off the end. It's also 1,000 feet longer than a modern Nimitz-class super carrier. I think 200k tons might be a 'bit' of an underestimate. =^x^=

@@tsamoka6496 ok but i have no idea how inperial system works

@@jurkoskvarka2154 tons are as far as I'm aware kind of universal measurement of weight but even if not 1 ton = 1,000 kilograms

@@Jadefox32 i know

HMS Barnham also worth mentioning

a 60s/70s Destroyer would have 3-5 inch guns, not 6. Also would have missiles, whichis an issue with the game, but I guess that's what the torps are to simulate for.

Something similar was explored in the anime Zipang, which posed the question of how a modern JSDF aegis destroyer with a modern Japanese crew, with modern sensibilities, would deal with suddenly finding themselves in the middle of the Battle of Midway. They basically have to consider their past, present and future in an all new way as they find themselves able to influence the war in massive and unpredictable ways, many of them struggling with the moral and patriotic questions that would rightly arise. All in all a pretty good series with some very cool scenes, like when they fire a Tomahawk missile at an American Carrier after warning them that they would defend themselves if pressed, a scene that I think is up on youtube somewhere.

@@DanielKjeldal ah yes, the anime where japanese use american equipment to kill american soldiers and talk about changing the outcome of the war as if US wasn't producing 50+ capital ships per year at that point and wasn't halfway finished with B-29 and nukes! I remember that one, it was quite funny:D

@@TheArklyte For me that particular aspect which you seem to have taken offense to in some manner wasn't the main draw. I was much more invested in the moral dilemma of the captain and his officers. They had to take into account their oath to the nation, and the constitution that they were bound by and breaking that bond was a major point of contention among the crew. Which is further explored in the manga/light novel. The idea that they could win wasn't in the mind of any of them, they didn't particularly want to get involved, much less win the war for a government they don't agree with, but their hand was forced by the IJN officer they save. Either way, it is a fun anime as you say.

@@DanielKjeldal I'm taking offense in that any nationalistic anime that praises JSDF ends up being waste of my time. Like GATE for example. Patlabor was great, but surprise surprise it wasn't praising Japan. And also the fact that they pose de facto license built american destroyer(guns, radars, engine) as japanese one. Imperial Japan and modern Japan aren't the same state and their oath has nothing to do with the former just like ukranian soldier that served in USSR has no obligation to fight for Russia. The only thing they share is the firm belief that they did nothing wrong. The american movie differed in that it was THE SAME state, not the descendant government. And that it was a nuclear powered supercarrier with aircraft delivered supply of small nukes onboard(considering it was Cold War). Besides in such scenario carrier indeed has an advantage as it needs only kerosene and bombs to continue offensive action, no missiles impossible to replace in that time period, no cannon ammo not even produced in that era. Although one could argue that a destroyer too can change a lot by being used as scout and coordination vessel in night and bad weather conditions with its superior radar and comms while keeping somewhat out of danger. That's basically what Kirov series is about...

FDG would have been in the small part of the scope of monstrous things the planned

Hood or not, every major ship loss (alsmost) from the Brits in Jutland was flash fires

A new rear tower got added in the latest update with a funnel slot :)

There’s quite a lot of concepts to get your head around but the game is very forgiving

@@BrotherMunro it seems like it would be a lot more realistic Sim compared to like world of warships but world of warships is just so easy to play. I love the concept of being able to design your own ships though. I'll definitely subscribe and watch your videos

But then they did build a bigger one at 80 cm. Which is 31.5 in. So putting that on a ship would have been difficult to say the least. I doubt it would be in a conventional turret and would only have been useful as a shore bombardment siege weapon. It took something like 45 minutes to load.

Another one of those German insecurity projects that involved doing something technically impressive on a very small scale that was strategically of very, very little use - despite the massive cost. My favourite thing about these kinds of projects is that apparently most people on the internet seem to buy the intended "muh German superiority" propaganda message lol. In reality, the reason why nobody else really bothered with these kinds of things is because things tend to cease to be practically useful when you exceed a certain scale, and you start getting a load more inefficiencies

@@tommeakin1732 yeah. Take the Ratte tank for example. It was going to have essentially a battleship turret on top of a tank chassis. Crew was gonna be somewhere around 60-100 guys. It was gonna weigh like 2 thousand tons or something. Any road it tried to traverse it would crush or straddle. Any river would be virtually impossible to cross. God forbid you have to put it on a ship to invade someone.

@@mattd7566 But using my advanced modern internet-person logic I can tell you that ideas like this *prove* muh German superiority. Big-brain Germany wants one tank for the same resource cost of several hundred smol-brain allied tanks

@@tommeakin1732 yeah. Germany thankfully wasted tons of resources and time on utterly useless and hopeless projects. We can admire the advances in engineering and the skills required to complete or attempt such feats of engineering but at the end of the day, they were a major drag on the German war effort and helped seal the deal for the Allies. Germany was never gonna win with Battleships. So why build Bismark and Turpiz? They could have built hundreds of subs for the same resource cost and an insanely better return of value. The V series rockets were terrifying sure, but ultimates of little strategic value. So why build these massive complex launch sites that took month or years and so much concrete you could have almost doubled the defenses on the Atlantic wall. German mismanaged resources because they listened to Hitler. He was the greatest ally of the Allied armies.

Unless they pen nukes are pretty useless against ships believe it or not.

@@D8W2P4 I mean yeah the ship may technically still be floating, but a ship with 0 living crew members on it isn't exactly any more a threat than a sunk ship. The sound of the nuke detonating would be enough to instantly kill everyone on board.

@@MechYarg Not even close.

I don’t know anything other than ‘soon’ I’m afraid

My PC isn’t that monstrous - or state of the art - UAD runs pretty smoothly on fantastic even if you throw lots of ships at it (and stream it and record it at the same time). System specs and build guide available on my discord (link in the video description).

@@BrotherMunro Thanks!

Yes if you are on my discord you can post pictures of your designs :)

@@BrotherMunro paper designs count?

@@Chaos_Legend sure!

@@BrotherMunro can't join, sadly I don't have a phone number

I’d say anything over a 10 year tech gap in UAD is going to be very one sided - I don’t know how the campaign is going to work with refits and retrofits but you’re going to have to produce new ships all the time.

More German stuff will come with the campaign I expect :)

Of course!

Just do the math. Yes you are slinging out huge amounts of force, but the ship you are firing from is so massive that that much more still does basically nothing. The main problem is the square cube law meaning a the increase in weight goes up exponentially while caliber increases linearly. Thus you need way more ship to hold slightly bigger guns. In all, 18in was about as far a you can practically push gun size, as Yamato's turrets weighed as much as a current destroyer. You can google the gun weights of some WW2 battleship guns to see the trend.
