Thank you for supporting my favourite not related uncle

That was more real than might be thought, LOL.

Considering the state of maintenance on Soviet subs in the 70's and 80's (Yes K-278 and K-314, I'm looking at you), barnacles might have actually BEEN the only thing holding the hull together...

"The only thing holding her together, are the bird droppings, sir."

​@@tspencer227 love that movie LMAO

​@@tspencer227I know what you did there😅

Haha, exactly! :-D

Yeah.... why was it off in the first place? Subs have NO AA guns.

@@jaywerner8415 In this game the subs have no fuctional AA guns, the german X tier sub the Type XXI has a double set of of 20mm AA guns that are historically accurate. I suppose if they were usable they would make little to none dmg to the planes in this game. So it does not matter for gameplay anyway.

​@@lukaszslowakiewicz9395😂

​@@lukaszslowakiewicz9395US fleet subs had at least one 20mm AA gun, even on the old S boats like Salmon. The later Gato and Balao classes added a 40mm Bofors to the mix. Balao also upped the deck gun to a 5"/38. Brit subs like the T class packed 40mm pompoms.

To be fair, that was submarine. Their torps are hard to dodge if they're well-aimed.

He meant Dave's torps

Two torp hits

@@Omnomface Those torps were from the Renown '44

3. "When a submarine fires its secondary gun (when not in a smoke screen), its sea detectability range increases to the gun range and stays like that (if detected) for 20 seconds even if the submarine dives." - wiki I never try and test it though

i have one kill with my deck gun on the jap prem sub, on another sub, and i have a ram kill in the same sub from the same game on the other sub (was first when they had just came out, only game i have in sub and sold the sub. was enough for me

yea its supposedly "arming range" which mean subs would be helpless at close range so they made it a damage reduction instead.

True

They may swim in the wake, or ride the bow wave.🐬

@@ELCADAROSA Yup. It's like wake boarding for dolphins. Also I'd very much like to see a video of Jingles on a wake board. in very cold water.

i was thinking that myself its much like how birds use updrafts to not need to flap their wings.

yes that's exactly what the dolphins do with the ships, They use the ships wake to swim without having to use their own energy.

And the New Mexico in the previous battle using his Red Lobster skin

If only Jingles had recorded his prep for the colonoscopy.

YES! That would certainly be unique, if not original!

The Brown Noise? A flat-sounding foghorn? Womp-womp sound?

I understood that reference!

@@TheKazragore That deserves a smoked kipper!!

Boyz from the Dwarf!

@@schroedingerscat2.054 Make sure to be back for breakfast!

"going all the way to brown alert!" "but there's no such thing as brown alert!" "you won't be saying that in a minute, and don't say i didn't alert you"

I hope so too. His lines are absolutely hilarious. To the point that he's my voice line

@@lanchester101 I noticed that Dave in the sub had Badger as his commander. Bit odd but he is a funny guy.

and is the sub using therussianbadger captain?

@@DD-mp1kl Yes he is 🦭

It more a coming home for Jingles, takes him back to his navy days :P

WG has changed the ping marker in the game to be more where the sub actually is, earlier it was not exactly where the sub was so if you droped airstrikes on the spot you would miss. In WW2 the Germans removed the deck guns from their subs because the situation changed and they had no use for them. Early in the war (and WW1) subs could surface stop a merchant ship check it's papers and cargo manifests. If it was a netural ship not carrying war supplies it was let go, if it was a enemy registered ship or was carrying war supplies to the enemy, the crew were allowed to leave on life boats and the ship was sunk, often with the deck gun. There was one incident in WW2 where a U-boat surfaced off Aruba and tried to shell the oil refinery on the island. But they forgot to take the plug out of the barrel and split the end of the gun barrel. They spent the next day cutting off the damaged part of the barrel with hacksaws. They went back the next night but were shot at as soon as they surfaced. In WW2 the US kept the deck gun on their subs. Late in the war there was at least one sub that was equiped with two 5" guns and a fire control system. That was done because late in the war there were very few ships worth a torpedo and the sub would just surface and sink the ship, often fishing boats, with the deck gun/s. They also fired at shore targets on ocasion. The USS Nautilus and USS Narwhal had two 6" guns and may have used them on some the island raids they were involved in. (Makin Island raid?) They were much larger than the other US subs and did not do the standard war patrols as their size made them too slow to dive and to easy to pick up with sonar. After the war the USN took the guns off the subs and streamlined them to be faster underwater, and more quiet. The Balao sub in the game has the 'GUPPY' conversion. During the war the subs had as much of the conning tower removed to make the subs harder to see. You can see the difference between early pre war boats and later war build subs. Too bad WG made such a mess of subs in the game. They keep trying to fix a flawed premise. It is hard to keep up with the changes WG keeps making trying to make things 'balanced'.

@@frosty3693 I meant in game. I am very aware of why deck guns were removed from subs irl. There was a dev blog at some point, I believe, that said deck guns would become ornamental instead of functioning secondaries. I guess the context wasn't as strong as I thought.

Also very glad to hear that Jingles.

There may have been some confusion on that by Jingles. Subs on the surface were sunk by other subs. But maybe only one, published, incidence of a submerged sub torpedoing another submerged sub. It was of course a RN sub so naturally it is referenced often.

@@frosty3693 yeah that's the stat quoted. only one recorded underwater kill in sub on sub fight was by a RN sub. it was HMS Venturer vs U-864 a battle that took place underwater resulting in the sinking of the german submarine.

Batfish sank two. I posted a list earlier on here.

LOL!
