I think you might be selecting the “bomb the water right beside the ship” option.

Reuplaoded due to an editing error. Sorry about that!

I’m not sure how this happened, but these episode drops are a highlight of my week

i haven't confirmed this but my experience is that if you change speed during an attack run the planes dont recalculate the drop time and that's why all your bombs were short. you have to hit the attack button again after changing speed to recalculate it.

Those magazine explosions really highlight the value of light cruisers. Those 5.9" and 6" guns were designed to blow big holes in DDs, and they really made the difference in this battle.

Wolfpack, if you adjust your speed after starting an attack run without hitting 'attack' again, the Bombers will drop according to their old Bombsight information. That's why your bombers are consistently missing.

Don't forget that once a target is selected, you can press the f key to swing your view around to point at it. Makes things a lot easier when in binocular/periscope mode. It's easier to unstick friendly ships if you deselect collision avoidance. They stay stuck because they're both trying to 'avoid' a collision which invariably involves trying to dodge in the same direction. Also, you can select an entire air squadron by clicking the color flag on the leader. Makes handling larger formations a bit easier.

I really like these long formats. Allows me to relax and enjoy my dinner.

One Hudson decides to give the other a hug Wolfpack: *The immersion* Just loved that bit, thought it was funny in the vid

Oh boy, I can't believe I'm doing this. Good job mate, you just made me inclined to write a whole alternate history naval battle based on this series. Welp, here goes nothing.

6:31 and that kids is how light cruisers are made

Incredible, although I am beginning to doubt the prowess of your pilots.. the formations I've found to be hit or miss, man that was so nail biting! Incredible series Wolfpack

This guy is a little underated, how is there less than a million subscribers for an amazing youtuber

You should give O-19 a Friend.

The music, while cinematic, *was* a bit too loud, nice stealth fix. 😉 Granted the choice and timing of the music with the bombs falling short was spot on! 😃 The AI is *terrible* at making bombing runs for the player. When you press the attack button, either the flight leader (if making a formation attack) or the whole flight (if attacking individually) all pick a spot on or near the target and attack that spot. But you can *tell* when they are off and it is super frustrating. If you insist on not bombing with manual control, my suggestion is to double check their attack run. Use the chase camera (don't turn with the mouse when doing this!) and the up and down arrow keys to check their ingress vector. If you line up the formation astern and press attack, if they shift left or right, *they are going to miss!* You can press attack again and they will pick a new "spot" to hit. Just make sure it looks good from the chase camera view (Hint: the pip that marks your compass heading makes a great bomb sight with chase camera. Just use the up and down arrow keys to bring it to the correct angle) Once you are happy with the approach vector, then you can allow the AI to pick when to drop. Another time saving suggestion I can give you (since you don't pause when controlling hundreds of men) is to select the entire flight by clicking the flight leader on the color identifier on the left side. That selects the whole flight with the primary unit being the actual one you click. That makes changing formation a lot easier! (down to two clicks once the formation is set). Additionally, you can change some settings in your files to make it so that the default number and formation per flight is what you like (which appears to be four in diamond formation). This is per aircraft type. I would just say that doing this is a huge time saver and is basically saying that you are changing the SOP for that theater. Loved the much improved damage control you are doing compared to early in this series! Look at how much it is saving you with those ships that were looking quite rough, vs how they ended the engagement. Well done. Thank you for the entertaining series. 👍

That Minekaze 19 minutes in after all his comrades are sinking: *chuckles* I’m in danger

The AI sure doesn't pull his punches, the challenge is real. These episodes are outright riveting.

welp if I got to experience the same great intro again then you shall receive double the praise! Greatest, most cinematic intro ever that you've ever pulled off! Absolute magnificent and I'm sure it's going to keep getting even greater as time goes on. Great editing, looking forward for more! Keep up the great work:D

This is my most anticipated episode series. Also, I am glad the music level is fixed from the original video.

Sumatra goes: "That's for Palembang you Yamamoto bootlickers!"

Was that a kitty I heard wanting to be apart of the battle?! 9:30 and 9:40

38:07 That's a great action shot of a destroyer passing by with it's stern so high I don't think it's screws are in the water. Hydrofoiling maybe?

An amazing episode by the best youtuber !

Phone broke been following for years though since the wolfpack sub series like 4 years ago I was hooked solid work. On my mothers phone to bring these since I totally forgot to to check your chanMel lately since its been a crazy and bad year but glad I found u in my suggestions and if was like noOo I forgot and now i have this whole series to binge .

The large number of magazine explosions wasn't just luck. The developers of the ABDACOM mod significantly increased the percentage of both secondary and magazine explosions. Remember, that cuts both ways.

Possibly Perth's first few full salvos probably clobbered the Myoko in the boilers or engine room! She was then reduced to 7 knots. Your luck there - wasn't too bad.

This is undeniably my favorite current ngaming series on KZfaq and I love it when these videos pop up. This may be the best gaming series I've ever watched on here. Easily top 3. I find myself hanging on every action while I watch the videos and wondering what will happen next during random times of the day when I'm not. Thanks for the awesome work.

23:52 "have been quite a feeeeeeeewwwww" You can feel the OOF in that line

Absolutely loving this series! Getting well and truly treated with the regularity of episode drops.

For a hot second my hibernating stoner side heard "good solid bong hit".

"The enemy Heavy cruiser Takao was a fool,he sacrifice himself Rather than Leading his Ships to a Dignifing Defeat!"

What I'm getting from 6:15: Electra & Sumatra sneaking off to kiss in the back of the bus. Tromp is the lazy kid who keeps lagging behind.

This is quickly becoming my favorite series which given the quality of SH, is saying something The Pacific mod looks challenging, maybe after the current SH Med…

Wolfpack showered with chef kisses this episode.

Best series by far

Good to see the Houston again, and the Marblehead! US Asiatic Fleet represent!

War on the sea has gotta be my favorite series by you yet, you deserve way more attention brother. Can’t wait for the next one.

I'm absolutely loving this!! I'm a big fan of all your war on the sea videos

I feel like we're getting a lesson on why dive bombing, while suicidal, racked up the kills in World War II.

Australian ships getting used as human shields by our "allies" is historically accurate

Good video as always. You mention that Tromp is too slow, and you`ll transfer her out. When I build my ship formations, I put them in order of fastest to slowest...for example, You wouldn`t have Warspite or Adelaide leading the formation, as every ship would be limited to their top speed of 25 knots. Having said that, my fastest ships at front of formation would have the more number of guns, to chase and hit the enemy ships and slow them for my slower ships to start hitting them....example, my faster front ships would have 2 or 4 forward guns, rather than 1 or 2 each. Weight of fire is important early, to swamp the enemy. Something I`ve noticed previously, Wolfy has O class submarine....My Java version doesn`t, and Wolfy`s minimum distance between planes is 50m, mine is 25. Is there a more modern update somewhere?

Some impressive surface engagement action, nice work 👍

Im not sure if its just by preference, but so you know, if you Shift Click it will select all vehicles between the first selected and the shift clicked one. So if you select the first plane and shift click the tenth it will select all 10 at once.

Another great episode

You are slowly getting there. thats an insanely hard campaign.

I'm very much looking forward to your next part. And three ships joining Battlegroup Basilisk.

Thanks for exciting episode i really enjoyed it. ;-)

I've seen in your gameplay once or twice that you'll have issues with bomber accuracy, or torpedo bombers putting fish in too early/late. In all my experience it seems like the game throws a hissy fit if you try an attack run with a speed different from the starting aircraft speed, so make sure for whatever aircraft you're using you return it to it's original speed before commencing attack

I don't know how those planes missed man, they literally had the best scenario to not miss! Sucks that the AI planes are awful lol

I can imagine the colourful language between the Dutch Cruiser and the Destroyer Captains. Particularly ripe terms - possible from the Destroyer Captain if an Australian! Anything like Captain Griffin or Captain Beaumont. Those two would be difficult enough. ! The Destroyer Captain if an Australian, would be bad enough!

buh-tey-vee-uh Batavia :) Sorry Wolf its been bothering me all Campaign :)

those were some brave fokkers (pun intended)

Another great one.

Yay! Go Wolfpack!

I think it's safe to say at this point that this campaign has single handedly cost Japan the war just by the sheer amount of cruisers and destroyers they've lost.

And that’s how baby ships are made.

Great series so far. The Dutch East Indies seems alot tougher campaign.

Hey Wolfpack345! Is there a War on the Sea Mod for the battle of the Atlantic? I would love to see the Hood Vs Bismarck, Sharnhorst vs Duke of York etc

Hey I have a tip for bombing, maybe why your bombs missed: in my experience attack speed helps determine aim. The most clear results come from torpedo bombers: if you attack at full speed you will over-lead the target; too slow and you lag behind. I think by slowing down your bomber formation they dropped early, missing short. Now I'm not 100% on this theory but I've certainly had some consistent experiences in my gameplay.

Wonder if we'll ever get Task Force Viper, Keelback, or Krait at one point...

love it all the misses from bombing..LOL

The Video is back online, whuuu

Please, add this video to the playlist.

Between the torpedo dodging and the missed bombs this cpu is tenacious

ANOTHER VIDEO HOLY MOLY

Hey, I've had one beer to resolute IJN removal, now I get to have two. Cheers! Edit: remember to like this one too!

Fortress britan of the indies

when doing high alt bomb runs you should only be bombing front to back or back to front, coming from the sides should only be done with skip bombing or torpedo bombing.

horary it's back! was watching the original upload (bad audio mix - music too loud I think) when it got yanked and made unavailable.

Would love to see you go head to head with something other than the AI. Love the videos you are putting out.

At this point Japanese command has to be deeply concerned. They are absolutely BLEEDING tonnage. How many ships sunk in just the past two weeks? (in game)

Bumpsie daisy! It's enough to make you weep !

First video i look for when i log in. Also play the game. hey wolf try some angled attacks with echelon right and left. 45-90 best angle in my opinion dive and skip bombing are awsome.

Thanks again

37:48 My gosh, it just ran out of fuel, that is so sad to watch!

Hey wolf you know that you can put up a targeting reticule for where the bombs will land, and completely manual aim? Was watching another guy playing this mod and he was getting reliable hits at 5000 feet manually aiming and dropping

Enjoyed.

You should keep your plane turning around the ennemy formation, this should help to build your solution, and sometime distract the secondary

If you stay in the battle afterwards the crew of the ships can repair all damage except blacked out ompartnments!

Ugh frustration abound. Damn flyboys can't hit the side of a barn if they were 5 ft. from it.

Flyboys are incompetent, surface engagements are incredibly costly. Time to bust out the champ again. O-19 going to do what the rest of her branch can't!

5:14 You'd love a good solid bong hit? I'll be the first put my vote in for a cannabis-infused live stream..

Perth and Jupiter took damage - And this is going to force these ships to dodge either left or right.. By the look of it. You are going to sink the Myoko class heavy cruiser.

Perth packs 6 inch guns. Just heavy enough to do some serious damage to the Myoko heavy cruiser.

Another awesome video keep em coming let's do 2 a week at least

"Please and thank you"

Hmmmm, dejavu

all you'll need is 3 subamarines, I think.

04:15 Lol your ships are already way more than 100m apart...

I was wondering I was almost done when it went away

The AI ship (player/AI side) just so dumb on formation and ram into each other... sometimes it is quite frustrating when you are busy handling the air wave attack at the same time.

Lets go!

Hold the line!

if you low your speed your repairs wil go faster. especially firefighting. thats what Myoko did

Iv'e got massive deja vu feeling, just the matrix changing something right?

Another great video. Any chance youll bring back silent hunter?

GO IJN!!!!

It feels like Bombing accuracy has gone from one extreme to another. It seems virtually impossible to land direct hits anymore. Or am just imagining it?

Bro, this Java campaing so interestingly i never see a Dutch air force attack japanes fleet..

Will there be a sequel to this campaign, playing as the IJN? Or can you only play as the Allies in this mod?
