The boat people were right

Howdy.

I've spent the last two weeks learning

how to play this boat simulator game

where you blow your friends up with

torpedoes. I'm convinced that if I know

your favorite ship class in World of

Warships, I can make a pretty educated

guess on the kind of person you are.

Battleship players are regularly lobbing

shells the size of combat cars across

entire zip codes, trying to delete

someone from existence with a single

click. Holy Nice citadel hit,

baby. Destroyer players are three white

monsters deep and are flying around at

Mach Jesus, spotting half the [music]

enemy fleet, dumping torpedoes on a lead

pursuit into anything with a pulse. Oh,

I'm going to have to eat a torp. I'm

eating a torp for breakfast.

[laughter]

>> Cruiser players with their well-rounded

doit all boats are the type of people

where you ask what genre of music they

like and they answer honestly

everything. No, you don't. Pick one.

Carrier players are playing a completely

different game than everybody else. and

under the water. Submarine players are

conducting psychological warfare the

entire match and everybody hates them.

Which is why today World of Warships has

sponsored this video to showcase 250

years of American naval history by doing

what World War II era America did best.

Blowing up boats. The problem is I have

never played more than a couple rounds

of World of Warships. I have more

experience shooting an M240 Bravo at a

branded Humvey from World of Warships.

Needless to say, it died.

>> Who's the crackhead in the car?

>> So, when it came to this boat combat

game, I didn't know how the classes

worked, how the progression grind

worked, how the pacing of combat worked.

I was effectively brand new to this 2

weeks ago when I started playing. They

gave me an account with every single

ship unlocked, but I wanted to get a

feel for the game naturally. I then

grinded the entire line of US ships

until I unlocked something that was most

useful to my enjoyment of this game.

Submarines. Look, I didn't even know

subs existed in [music] this game. Maybe

because they're literally underwater and

not seeing them is kind of the point,

but subs are terrifying and everyone

I've talked to in game fears them. Sub

players are seen as these sneaky slimy

vermin, which is why my ass, whose

interest can be summarized in this list,

u I was born to be that vermin. But the

subs themselves are not really seen as

the strongest class. Highly skilled

destroyer players in the rounds I've

played are always racking up so much

more damage. And staying alive in these

submersible little boats is extremely

easy to mess up. If you get spotted in

the wrong spot within range of anybody,

you're done instantly. But in the right

hands, submarines can literally hold an

entire flank by themselves [music]

through pure intimidation. I may have

done this once. I think I held the

entire team from pushing this left side

of the map by simply letting them know I

was in the area, but not getting close

enough for any of them to find and shoot

me. The survival onion. Don't be there.

Don't be detected. Don't be acquired.

identified. Don't be hit. Don't be

penetrated. Don't be killed, baby. It

was really cool. After blowing up

someone with my little sonar listening

telephone poles in that round, I then

saw a destroyer rushing at my carrier

and I knew I had to save him, that I

might be his only chance. I wrote in the

text chat, "Hold on, CV." And then

rushed south, sent the torps, pinged his

side, and landed the most most precise

strike on a boat I've ever done.

And then I typed.

A lot of these subs, at least in the

American lineup, are modeled after real

life subs from the time. The specific

one I like the most, even if it's not

the best, you can get if you grind the

US fleet destroyers. You can branch off

the destroyer path at tier six to grab

the first sub, the catch a lot. The

catch aot.

And getting to tier six actually

happened way faster than I expected. And

with some tips, you can do it faster

than I did. If you're new, use the link

in description. It gives you a pretty

ridiculous head start. You'll get a

million credits, 7 days of premium, 500

deloons, the premium cruiser USS Albany,

the premium destroyer USS Smith, and

after 10 battles, your choice of the

South Carolina St. Louis, or the Wix.

Wait, where where is the Wix?

Oh, I already unlocked it. Okay, makes

sense. I did not need to grind this, by

the way. They didn't tell me to. The

press account literally had even the

most rare boats unlocked and playable.

But within 2 days, warships had turned

me into a loophole optimizing loot

goblin. Daily login mine. Tutorial

rewards mine. Daily containers mine.

Combat missions mine. I grinded

originally all the way to the Nicholas.

When I got to the Nicholas, I went to

the equipment and I went up here to

economic bonuses and I put stuff like

these little bonuses on every single

tab. I maxed them out. I then went into

battle. Had probably the craziest round

I've had this far.

>> Ooh, the citadel hit.

>> Holy torpedo direct front. Torpedoes

port.

>> Does this guy think he had me? Did you

think you had me? Bye-bye. What was

that?

Oh my god.

Oh my gosh. I citadel hit him as well.

That's insane.

See you. Goodbye. Holy crap. That was

one of my best rounds, bro. Just a

casual 615 credits. Oh my goodness.

Wait, what? Oh, cuz I had a I had a ship

XP plus 800%.

Oh my gosh. That's like all I needed to

unlock the next class, I'm pretty sure.

Right. And then after winning that

round, unlocked the Farragut. Did one

more round in the Farragut. You

challenge me while I have my torpedoes

ready. Bad idea, buddy. See you in the

lobby.

>> [laughter]

>> Take a lead.

>> Yippee. And then had enough to get the

cash a [music] lot. Yep. Yep. Easy.

Easy.

All right. All right. All right. Let's

go. Went from here to here in like 25

minutes.

Whoa. Whoa. I am the plane. I am the

plane, Viper. I'm the plane.

>> Yo, he's the plane.

>> I'm the plane. The cool part is most

sponsored videos I do are for paid

games. You'd have to pay money to get to

play the content you see in the video.

The neat part about Warships is that the

game is entirely free and the ships

you're going to see in today's episode

are also achievable within two nights of

playing the game. It also runs on

anything newer than an R7240. That is a

2013 graphics card. And if you don't

have a PC, the game is also available on

console as World of Warships Legends.

Also, for the employed dads out there

who may not have 4,000 hours a week to

sweat this game, you may be in luck if

you're a little intimidated about

playing against other players that could

have those 4,000 hours. Within the first

two nights, I unlocked co-op battles and

operations, both of which are against AI

only. You're still going to get the most

progression from random battles more

than any of the other two. Operations is

pretty good as well as far as I've

played. And it also has a lot of cool

scenarios that have like custom

objectives and side objectives. You can

do primary and secondary tasks. Viper

and I played this for two days straight

and had a really good time. Hey, a

little pipsqueak. Turn around.

>> You are not much bigger than I am.

command. Whoa, whoa. Also, the game is

aware you have no idea what you're doing

at the start of it. So, the lobbies in

those random battles are going to be

primarily AI when you first begin the

game. And then as you progress through

the tiers of the game, then you start to

get players flowing in. Cuz when I

started playing the game, I didn't even

understand there was armor piercing

rounds. Oh, I'm getting good shots on

him. Yeah, I'm getting eight non-pins.

Never mind.

>> Sorry, 11 non-pins with three pins.

>> Yo, I'm getting good shots on him, dude.

And a pro tip for this early grind in

the game, the game doesn't really care

about big damage numbers. It cares about

what percentage of any ship's HP you

remove. So if you're fighting bots early

on, ignore the big boats entirely and

just bully the little guys. Doing 50%

damage to a small boat with uh 16,000 HP

is roughly the same progress as doing

50% damage to a battleship that has

53,000 HP.

>> There's a Yamato.

>> There's a Yamato.

>> True. There's

>> There is. Look at the HP on that thing.

Do not shoot it. It will explode.

Honestly, a lot of progressing at this

early stage as well is just simply

playing the battles you don't even have

to win. But back to the cool subway we

unlocked. The real USS Cash Aalot. Catch

aot uh was one of America's earlier

submarine designs from the 1930s.

Relatively small, carried a few

torpedoes. If it was a video game, it

was like the alpha version of future

subs to come. But it did have one secret

trick. It was the first American

submarine equipped with a torpedo data

computer, which sounds incredibly

futuristic until you realize it was

basically a giant mechanical fridge

calculator whose entire purpose was

answering the question, where will this

guy regret existing in about 3 minutes?

In game, the torpedoes from this thing

are a little different. They actually

home onto sonar pings, kind of working

like a little Fox one missile if you're

a flight sim guy. Once fired, they'll

initially run on their original

intercept course, perfectly straight.

But if the sub player then lands a sonar

ping on the bad guy, they'll start

steering towards the ship. It is so

deadly. I mean, I get it. It's nasty,

dude. The trade-off is that as a

submarine, you're constantly managing

your battery. That's actually one of the

more realistic mechanics in the game,

although much different time frames.

Diesel electric submarines couldn't run

their engines underwater because diesel

engines need air to breathe. So once

they submerge, they switch over to these

massive banks of battery stored beneath

the deck the crew walked on. If you ever

want a really good view inside of these,

there's an awesome video by a YouTuber

named Destinations of History. I'll put

it on screen right now. Uh, go check

this out. It is 2 hours long. I found

this at 1:00 in the morning and stayed

up till 3 watching this video and

learning everything about the last

diesel Navy submarines. Very good video.

I am now a walking submarine fact book.

In World of Warships, that gives you

about three minutes underwater before

you have to come back up and recharge.

In real life, those batteries could

actually keep a submarine moving

silently for hours or even days at very

low speeds. But eventually, every diesel

electric submarine had to surface or

snorkel to recharge themselves. And I

never thought about this until now. The

problem with surfacing, see this thing

down here? This is your mini map. You

know why they made a default keybind to

make it bigger? Because you're going to

look at this a lot more than you think.

This blue dotted line around me is the

range at which I can be seen if an enemy

is within that radius. If I go to

periscope depth, one down from like

floating on top of the water, it gets

considerably smaller. You can see it

going down, right? Shrinking, but I'm

still going pretty fast. If I fully

submerge,

I go entirely [music]

dark. You're now really slow, but you're

also really quiet.

Come on.

Yeah, buddy. Yeah, buddy.

He's gone. He is gone.

No way he survives.

Oh,

destroyed.

>> You can go under people without them

even knowing. And it's not even a it's

not even uncommon for this to happen.

I'm right underneath him. Wait, that's a

dead one. Oh my gosh.

Don't move. Don't move one bit. If you

save up your battery for just the right

moment, you can dive right before you

get within range of someone and just

start lobbing corpse left and right. But

dive too far into an enemy formation and

you'll run out of battery, forcing you

to breach the surface of the water once

again and open up your 6.5 km of

visibility again and then everybody

kills you. This is where the sub and

submarine comes in because now you're

playing submissive to the massive

cannons and bombers coming at you from

things like the USS Lexington

aircraft carrier. I thought it looked

really cool. I drove 3 hours to a town

on the coast of Texas. I walked the

shores barefoot with a funny hat on that

gives me magical powers to see in the

dark. I then bought a ticket and got to

walk on a big boat. Oh, this is the

Lexington. Why did they make a boat like

the one in World of Warship? That's an

F-14A Tomcat. You can tell that by the

way it is. That's a Hornet and that's a

glowy guy on the beach I saw while

absolutely sober.

[music]

>> [music]

>> Go

videos ahead.

>> Yeah, after spending a lot of time on it

the last two weeks, it's a pretty fun

game. I don't make videos. I don't want

to spend time editing videos of games I

don't like. And I did not know that

World of Warships had the depth it has.

and I didn't know that it had the

community that it has. Pretty fun.

Anyways, the rest of this video is a lot

more raw gameplay, less of this yapping,

right? Raw gameplay to show you how

rounds run in World of Warships. I'm

running the USS Pensacola as well as the

USS Catch a lot.

Cashalet

Kosh. Starting you off with a

cruiser match here because cruisers are

the kind of do-it-all boats in the game

if you want to play all different types

of combat. Cruisers can be fast. They

can have torpedoes. They can also be

kind of like lightweight battleships in

a way. They're a little lighter, a

little faster most of the time than

battleships. And so they're a good

well-rounded boat. It's very easy to get

into heavy action with a cruiser. And so

I'll start you off with a cruiser round.

This uh battleship next to me, his

username is something I I enjoy and I

associate with. It's Sticky Loins.

>> Sticky Loins.

>> I love that guy.

>> What a guy. What a guy. What a lad.

12 clicks out.

Will I hit? He's going very fast.

>> I've also just made this battleship

completely turn back towards his spawn.

>> Nice. and he's going.

>> So, he's going to be late to the fight

anyways. There's so much like spacing

that you can create with the aircraft.

Even if you're not doing damage,

>> you just force people to turn a

direction.

>> Anti-aircraft gun crews are on full

alert.

>> There are three destroyers. I just

noticed. Oh, he's right there. 10

clicks.

Probably 15 now. Is he going to go cold

again?

>> Oh, my guns are off.

Oh, I don't know what just happened to

my guns. Destroyer.

>> I guess I shot. Oh, is that going to

hit? Oh, I hit him a little bit.

One pin, baby. One pin. Big

>> good damage. Good damage.

>> I think we're overextending, though. I

think their battleship from the

northeast is like hitting sticky loins

here,

which is not gun crews are on normal.

>> Yeah, there's two battleships and a

cruiser clumped up in the mid here. Oh,

that destroyer gone.

>> Enemy is about to have a destroyer

that's going to die very soon. Gotcha.

>> Yep, there it is. Oh, that's two

destroyers dead on their team.

>> Nice. Cool.

>> 15.

>> Oh, here's Uniball again.

>> I'm just going to keep harassing this

guy.

Just keep forcing him to turn our way.

Where is he even? Oh, he's heading at

us. Okay. Uh oh, he's going right there.

Okay,

I hit him anyways, baby. That's how

That's what it's about. That's what it's

about.

>> It's all about the Mets, baby.

>> It's all about the It's all about the

Mets.

>> Mets.

>> 12 clicks. I don't know where to shoot.

I'm going to shoot there, I guess. Maybe

that's an island. This is sweet.

Come on, sticky loins. You got this,

buddy. You got this. Sticky. You're

Nobody's got stickier loins than you,

buddy. Nobody's got stickier loins. You

are the by far the stickiest loins I've

ever seen. Don't give up now. Sticky

>> anti-aircraft.

>> He's trying to send aircraft.

>> Fighter airborne.

>> Come on. Send your jets.

you guys some interceptors.

>> We're about to get him. I think there's

torps on them as well.

>> Oh, my guns need to turn. Yep, he's

dead.

>> You guys have interceptors in about 20

seconds.

>> Cool, cool, cool.

What is this? A cruiser up here.

I may Oh, he's full health and he's got

a lot more health than I do. I'm going

to get in line with the battleship here.

He's going to come around this corner

super fast. Got interceptors.

I can drop bombs on that cruiser.

>> Anti-aircraft gun crews are on normal

alert.

>> He's not even shooting you. He's

shooting.

>> Yeah, I just lit on fire.

>> Nice.

Oh, he's sending interceptors that way.

I can't drop bombs this pass.

>> Controlled retreat west. Push hard east.

Let's go. Teammate says I'm I'm down.

I'm pushing hard east. Enemy

destroyer detected.

Oh,

>> I'm hitting this guy good. I just set on

fire again. Let's go.

I'm sending my bombers in.

>> He's got planes up.

So much happening on the map. There's a

destroyer northwest of us.

My bombers are going to get here,

but

Oh man. Holy. Terrain. Come on. Come on.

Oh, he's too low.

>> Yeah, my bombers got

>> Oh, this Peter Bennett guy, he's cooked.

He's cooked.

Boom, baby.

Non-pin. [laughter]

[gasps]

Set him on fire though again.

Oh yeah, that was nice.

>> There's so many planes.

>> Oh, torpso.

>> Torps out the wazoo. Holy torps.

>> Torpedoes direct.

>> We have interceptors to the left. You

guide.

>> Oh, I'm going to have to eat a torp. I'm

eating a torp for breakfast.

[laughter]

>> Oh my gosh.

Okay,

>> sending you a new set of interceptors.

>> Got it.

>> 20 seconds.

>> I'm hitting their uh their cruiser in

the back. Oh, he just stopped dead in

his tracks. He reversed.

He's good at the game. And he

disappeared.

Why can't we see anything? Are they

smoked? They smoked.

>> Anti-aircraft gun crews are on normal

alert.

>> Interceptors are there.

>> Yep.

Dude, this is sick. We got so many boats

all in one spot.

>> Yeah.

Shoot into the mist. I don't know where

they are. Oh, they're on the left side

of it,

dude. We're just pushing them hard.

That's so cool. Oh,

>> they're carriers to the right.

>> Okay.

Oh, am I going to hit anything there?

Ooh, yeah, I am. Nice. Set on fire.

Yeah, I see carrier. Oh, no. That's

that's destroyer. Uh, okay. Carrier.

Yeah.

I don't think, by the way, that I've

been hit this round.

>> Nice.

>> I've been like really aggressive. I'm

about to get hit, though, I think.

There's a new guy front. Torpedoes port.

>> Anti-aircraft gun crews are on full

alert.

Come on, turrets. Come on, turrets. Get

up there. Get up. Get up. Get up. Get

up. Get up. Come on.

>> Neptune's beard. Yeah.

>> Neptune's beard.

That's so many planes.

>> What a hit.

>> Oh gosh, I pissed off the wrong guy.

>> Um, this is bad. This is suddenly very

bad. We rush too fast. We don't have

enough supports with us. Uh, we got to

kill him quick.

>> You're good. You're good. You're good.

You're good.

>> My rear turrets never want to be in the

right position.

How is he not dead? There he goes. Okay.

Neptune's beard.

>> Ouch. Dude, that hurts. That guy hurts

so bad. That's crazy.

Please get the guns on him. Thank you.

>> Refreshing your interceptors here in a

second.

Gotcha.

I missed. Damn it.

I want to do it where you guys are like

driving to.

Am I shooting out in front of him? I

don't I don't know what to aim.

He's still shooting at me. That's crazy.

Oh my gosh, that's so lucky.

Oh, I'm out of range of that guy. Crap.

What a bloodbath this is, dude. This is

crazy.

>> All the fighter zones up there. I kind

of abandoned my battleship, but I was

going to get cooked if I didn't.

I had to get some heals.

>> Me and the other aircraft carrier like

ripping up mid [laughter] right now.

Trying to get closer so we have faster

response times.

>> Nice.

>> Dang. Let's go.

>> Th000 points, baby. That was a cool

round. That was just like so much

movement happened on the north center

side.

>> Yeah,

>> I got 57k damage, too. I didn't kill

anybody, but I got eight [snorts] fire

set. Eight.

>> Holy cooking.

>> There's three subs in this match. Wait,

am I reading that right? Yeah.

>> Yeah, three subs. 6.1 5.7. So,

>> man, I'm going to have a terrible time.

>> You kind of want to sit in the back,

Miller. um a little bit because or just

let other people detect first because

they're subs or I don't know. It's subs,

not destroyers.

>> Yeah, they're better in detection range.

>> I think I'm going to go play near D.

There's a nifty little island I like.

Let's go. Wait, did I spawn all the way

up here by myself? Dang.

>> Yeah, subs spawn pretty far forward.

>> Instructions.

There you go, Miller. I got some good

scouts for you.

Thank you, BB.

Okay, we're going heavy center with

these two battleships plus my cruiser.

They may be rolling a little to the left

in sight.

Oh snap. You were messing up that one

boat. Hang on. Can I put the hate on

him? Can I

>> I'm not messing him up that bad. I'm

just poking.

>> Oh, I just got a good little volley on

him.

Set him on fire.

Enemy submarine spotted.

There's going to be a lot of commotion

over at D.

Like a lot of lots of him on

>> a lot of commotion.

>> Yeah, D looks a little spicy.

>> I think I'm about to hit that uh Merman.

I think I'll land two torps on him. Yep,

two torps.

>> Nice. Damn,

>> that's pretty big.

>> Looks like more from you.

>> Yeah, from from another sub of ours.

Sub.

>> Damn, dude.

>> He's done us, man. He's cooked.

>> He is cooked. This volley.

>> He's done. Oh my god.

>> Submarine in the middle. Submarine in

the middle.

>> Sub in middle. Okay.

>> Yeah. Hang on. I just tried to like

sling a ping.

>> Oh, dude. My sonar is not up yet, but

yeah, I was totally within his guessing

range. Let's see if I can ping him. Come

on.

Ouch.

Watch it. Drew. He was out there. I saw

him. Oh, there he is. Little master.

>> He's right there. He's sending torps at

me.

>> Torpedoes to starboard.

>> I should be all right. He's probably

going to hit me with one.

>> Torpedoes a

>> He's going to hit me with two.

I'm okay.

>> Try to go over there and silent hunt

him. You have a friendly front. Keep

cutting left.

>> Yep.

>> Damn friendly. RIP. That was

>> instructions.

>> Oh, no.

>> The sub.

>> No, no, no,

>> no, no, no. I was saying subs up.

>> Yep.

>> That one Uzi sub guy is almost dead,

though.

>> Oh, what am I doing? Why did I turn back

out over here? Right in front of a

battleship.

>> There's a battleship all the way out to

the

>> the south out here.

There's a cruiser that's trying to kind

of wrap around the island as well.

I'm going to probably kill him here

actually with this volley. Yeah, he's

going to be cooked.

>> Yep, he's dead. Good.

>> Uh torpedoes on your left.

>> Good call.

>> That submarine.

I need to get in there and go whoop his

ass.

>> I think it's okay if I risk it as well.

We're already two down on their uh

cruisers, so should be good.

>> Oh, I could have put depth charges on

him before, too. I keep forgetting that

the depth charge is a cruiser thing.

So, I I if I see him again, I can hit

him. That that sub. I can kill him.

>> I'm going to get in there already. Don't

worry. I want to go.

>> He's shooting. He's shooting.

>> Oh, He's right here next to me.

>> Yeah, he is. He is I'm I'm hitting him

with dep charges

>> torpedoes direct

>> cuz he is literally right there.

>> I'm going to flank him around from the

rear.

>> Can you hang him?

>> Uh

hanging

the map always confuses me here roughly.

>> Okay. Okay.

>> Aing instructions.

>> I've been detected. me. He saw me

first.

>> Oh, there's a ship that just popped out

over here. Battleship.

>> Whoa. I'm hitting him now. He's about to

die. He's

>> There's another right behind him, by the

way.

>> Actually, I think I need to pack out

here

>> near you again, Miller. Did you see

that?

>> He's off my front left. Yeah. So, he's

in between.

>> How How far? How far? Like to the island

halfway?

>> Right there. Right there. Kind of like

that. My That's my ping right there.

>> Okay. So, he's almost at that island.

>> Yeah, he's some he's shooting somewhere

in there and he's detected me.

>> Okay. I did a uh

>> depth charge over there.

>> Got low battery. I got to eress out.

>> I see him. I just Oh, wait. No, that was

my own depth charge.

>> About to scrape the bottom.

>> I'm going to leave that bay Miller. So,

I'm going to pull I'm going to pull off

of your protection here

>> cuz I got to get shots on these

battleships over this.

>> Anti-aircraft gun crews are on normal

alert.

Random pain. Come on.

Shift AP.

>> Going to break the water line. I need to

charge my battery.

>> I see a sub off behind us right now.

>> We're off the front left.

>> Yeah, he's uh over this way.

Oh, my depth charger. Oh yeah, he just

pinged front left of me. I saw him.

>> Aaiting instructions.

>> Okay, now this guy's entering the middle

bay. So I'm going to peek him with this

battleship.

>> Yeah, he's

>> Their other sub is on D, by the way.

Okay.

>> So, one middle one B.

>> There we go, baby.

That's what Christmas is all about.

Oh

yeah. Oh yeah, that was good. I'm going

to press in on this New Mexico. Me and

this other submarine can hunt them.

Oh, that was a little late.

>> Nice. Yeah, I think I think you put a

disabling shot on him. This New Mexico's

up. Yeah, I'm going to go get

mean.

One, two, three.

me. Enemy sub.

Uh, okay. I've got eyes. I'll come to

you after I kill this guy.

>> He missed me with his ping, which is

fine.

>> Get him, Vip.

>> I might clean I might clean them up with

these torps.

>> Yeah.

Oh, what?

>> Oh, I'm getting him with this shot. If

>> one was mid-ranged,

>> the one that hit him got mid-range. The

other missed.

>> Gotcha. Okay, Miller, I'm coming back up

to you now. Oh, wait.

>> I got a submarine off the nose.

>> Never mind. I got a submarine over here

as well.

>> Crap. Scene.

>> He's diving. Drew.

>> Yep. dude. I I'm not used to

death.

>> And turning

>> torpedo. Oh, and I'm being hit by

starboard.

>> Whoa. Their battleship just got a crazy

shot on me.

>> Oh my god.

>> Hit submarine.

>> It only did a thousand.

>> Attention. Reporting the target

position.

>> Putting myself in front of him, which is

bad. I'm going to just surface real

quick.

Battery's depleted. I'm going to see if

I can clean up this battleship here.

He's on collision alert. He's behind me,

bro.

>> You've also got your other sub helping

you out there. I'm going to see if I can

clean up this battle.

>> Oh, I just killed their sub with dep

charges.

>> Going on me.

>> No, another one. I'm coming up to you

guys now, though.

>> All right, I'm I'm It's going to be a

very risky

>> N. We can get him. We can get him. I can

I can already see him. I can already see

him. Yep. Step charge out. It might be a

little late cuz he's on top. I can just

shoot him. He's on top. What am I doing?

Shots on in two seconds.

>> Two torps out on the New Mexico.

>> Oh my gosh. My turrets.

>> I've also got torpes on him, too.

>> Set on fire.

>> He is dead.

>> Nice. And we killed the other thing,

too. Nice.

>> Cool.

>> Okay. Battleship is still in the back.

All they've got is a carrier and a

battleship.

>> Yep.

>> Doing good. Okay. Okay, battleship is

way out there. I'm going to hit him

though. He's not going to like it.

Control.

>> Time to chase this guy down late. Oh my

gosh, what a late shot.

>> I still hit him.

>> Oh, that's going to hit.

>> That battleship's flooding right now.

>> It's okay, CV. You waste your time on me

cuz I have no aid. The rest of your team

is getting slaughtered.

>> I'm going to go bully their carrier.

>> Pushing A.

>> I am.

>> I'm hitting their battleship.

>> I'm trying to chase it down, but top

speed

knots.

Come on. Come on. Come [snorts] on.

That's a good shot. Come on. That's a

good shot. That's a good shot. COME ON.

[screaming] KILL HIM. NO.

We're about to win. Yep. Nice. GG's.

That was a cool crazy fight. Yeah, while

you were dealing with that submarine, I

got stuck dealing with another one. I

had to throw depth charges at him.

>> I think even though I didn't score a lot

of points, me just sitting there and

wasting his time and making him

invaluable while providing intel. And

then his his like New Mexico battleship

felt like he had to come cover him,

which let my other submarine just eat

for free.

>> Dude, I did 56 on the carrier. Got four

destroyed, five set on fire.

>> Yeah, dude. Look at the guns on this

thing.

Cruiser, by the way.

>> Yeah, that is a all. There's no torps.

>> No,

>> I guess cuz you're cruiser.

>> I do have a lot of AA capability,

though. Watch your jet. [laughter]

Watch your jet.

I'm detected.

>> Okay.

What's your range?

>> Uh 137.

>> Oh my god. No wonder. Yeah. Jeez.

>> Yeah.

>> Big old boy.

>> We're getting shot at behind the big

island here.

>> Mhm.

>> Behind it.

>> That hit me.

>> Deserved. There's a submarine that way,

too.

>> Yep.

eyes.

>> There's that battleship.

>> Torpedoes direct.

>> That's a lot of torpedoes.

>> Holy That is a lot of torpedoes.

>> They must have Oh, I thought he got hit.

Oh, he's going to get hit by those.

Jeez, dude.

Okay, he died. Good game.

>> This sub is still to the north. Probably

coming my way.

>> We've been detected.

>> Yeah, he just detected me. The sub

detected me.

>> I'm getting down.

>> I'm going to swing around and try to

play near you uh for AA. Okay.

There's a destroyer to your left.

>> Yep. I'm going after the uh uh um Oh my

gosh. Warship. Whatever. Big big big

boat

>> battle. Yeah.

Yeah. I've got good torps on him now.

>> Torpedoes.

>> Okay. Oh yeah, the other sub is shooting

at me.

>> Do I care? Hell no.

>> Our team has taken the lead.

>> Oo, get double sniped too, buddy. You

get double sniped.

>> All stations reporting the position of a

strategic target.

>> Oh, he just got hit as well.

What happened to my torps? They lost

their target.

Is he going to

>> No, they're they're still tracking.

>> Are they going to hit him though?

>> Yeah. Yeah.

>> Yeah. Let's go. Woo. Okay.

>> We've destroyed an enemy.

>> I'm still kind of concerned about the

sub over here.

>> The sub is definitely hunting me for

sure. I'm coming back right now. I'm

going to breach

>> support. No, the sub. I see him. He's

out to the left.

>> Destroyer here.

>> Oh, there's a destroyer behind me. What

do What are you doing there, buddy?

Commander, we've been detected.

>> Howdy, pal.

>> Oh, no. No. Sub's to my north. Sub's to

my north. Yeah, he's right here.

>> Low battery. It's

>> off.

>> I'm just going to keep running.

Honestly, I'm just going to keep going.

They've got smoke up so they're not

going to

>> I'm going to face away from him so I

have the best chance at maneuvering.

>> He just hit me with a ping. [snorts]

>> Gotcha. Okay, I may have to find him

then. I'm going to dive to see if I can

find him.

>> I'm going to wait to clear it.

>> Commander, we've been detected.

He might try to hit me with a ping.

>> No, if he's smart, he would stick me.

>> Okay, I see him now.

Come on, hit him.

>> There we go. Got him with a ping.

>> I don't know if he's going to clear it.

We'll see.

>> I dodged all of these torpedoes.

>> Sonar plane will be cleared. Let's go.

>> I dodged all of those torpedoes.

Holy.

Wait, what? Are those still going to hit

him?

No, no, no, no. Okay, okay, OKAY. OH,

THEY DID. [laughter] NICE.

>> Blindly ran into him. Holy. Let's go.

>> Good shot.

>> Let's go. Blindly hit him.

>> Battery depleted.

>> Huge. That was a big kill.

Okay.

Damn. I That's crazy. That's crazy. He

didn't click R fast enough, so they just

had this the direction and he just kept

on the same bearing.

Um there's probably a destroyer in this

smoke to my left. So, I'm going to come

back to you.

>> No, he's dead.

>> Oh, he's dead. Okay. Okay.

>> Yeah,

>> there's something that was still No,

something a destroyer is still alive.

There is. See the white triangle? He's

still alive somewhere.

>> I could have sworn that guy died. Okay.

>> Uh something did. There's two dead uh

cruisers.

Commander, we

>> I'm in a really bad spot right now.

You cannot run.

>> You cannot run.

Come on, Torps. Come on, Torps. Get his

ass.

He's going so fast. They're on him,

though. They're on him. Get him.

>> Get him, Torp. He's going so fast. Come

on.

>> You're good. You're good.

>> He's running as fast as he can. I lost

track. [laughter]

>> Damn it, dude.

>> Oh, I still hit him. Nice.

>> Dude, I'm cooking.

>> Oh, yeah. Sonar ping will be cleared

now. What about if I send more directly

at you anyways because I think you're

beached. You're beached.

>> Holy, he's beed.

Sonar being cleared. Oh god, those are

>> Ouch. Yeah. Yeah, I I figured that out.

>> Gota hit him with my other tor. He's so

stuck, dude.

>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He's good.

>> He's got death charges over you still.

>> Yep. I'm running. Oh, he's hit again.

He's at one. He's dead.

>> Nice.

>> Let's go, dude.

>> This is my best sub round thus far.

>> Yeah, we're cleaning up pretty nice. The

start was super sketchy.

>> Mhm.

>> I'm still at 10,000 health. I'm just

like dodging. Something is something's

out here. You see that? Something's out

there. Destroyer.

>> Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Seen

>> he's probably looking. He's probably

trying to flank me. I'm

>> going to come back to you. I'm coming

back to you cuz I got no air.

>> Okay.

>> Then I'll set myself up in a righthand

turn. Then

>> I've got to reset for like at least a

minute.

>> I'll go capture a big loop on the right.

>> I'll go cap a proceed to capture that

area.

Still don't have any detectability on

them, though.

>> Yeah. Oh,

>> you're so tiny.

>> I'm a submarine.

>> You're such a little tiny ship.

>> I'm a submarine.

>> It's cute.

>> All I got is torpedoes

and a little gun on the center back

there. That's a gun.

>> To go boom boom boom boom.

>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's what it does.

It's like we're going to win right now

anyway, so we're going to outscore them

in 10 seconds.

>> Mhm.

>> Dang.

GG. That was a good fight. That was

cool.

>> I can't believe we won that one.

>> I got lucky.

>> Yeah, that kill on the uh the sub was

awesome.

>> Mhm.

>> Okay, we haven't detected much out

there. That's the spooky part. We

detected a lot in the middle cuz of the

planes, but that left side, there's not

much out there.

>> No, it they're super light.

>> Weird.

Our guys are still very hesitant to dive

in to a

Oh, one of our guys is super hurt. He's

almost dead. They're going pretty hard

on our far left side, though. So,

>> Mhm. Got to be very careful here. Very

careful. Yeah, they do have smokes up

over there. Oh, yep.

>> Yeah, there's a cruiser in that smoke.

>> Uh, sub sub is out here, too.

>> Where? Like there roughly.

>> Okay.

Kind of near that smoke.

>> Yeah.

It's to the right of that smoke.

>> Cruiser in that smoke.

>> To the right of that smoke for you. Like

halfway to that island. That's to the

right of the smoke. Maybe. Oh, I see him

right now. Okay. Oh, there we go. Maybe

I can get him.

>> Oh, he's on the surface. Yep. Or a

periscope.

I didn't ping him. Come on.

>> Torpedoes.

>> He's He's going down to my

elevation here.

Got him.

>> Breach. We're taking on water quickly.

>> There you go. My tors are back on him.

We've been detected.

>> We have so many depth charges on him.

>> Hit him hard. He's dead.

>> Yeah, he died.

>> I literally I don't even know how I took

damage. I think I took depth charges

within five 8 seconds of being detected.

>> Nice. That cruiser is dead. That was in

the center. There's three battleships

back here.

>> Mhm.

>> You should have a pretty good time. Uh,

I don't see any other cruisers. There

was one more towards mid, but I don't

think there's any more on this right

flank.

>> I definitely [sighs and gasps] I'm still

going to stay in the bubble of

friendlies because

>> if I don't, I feel like air easily will

just catch me off guard.

>> All these all these battleships are

flowing towards center it looks like. Or

no, one's flowing out. Some of them

>> are coming towards us. I'm going to cap

A while I'm here.

should be able.

>> I do think we should try to shove as

much as we can on the side cuz our

friendlies are kind of struggling on the

left.

>> Mhm.

>> What's your range with those planes? Can

you go over like the whole map?

>> Infinite.

>> Infinite. Okay.

>> Infinite is cool.

>> It's just the amount of time it takes to

get there. So, that's why I have to

position closer.

>> Oh, there's a battleship poking out over

here.

>> Yeah, there's still a there's still a

cruiser like on the back side of this

island here.

>> Yeah. Yeah. Oh, wait. No, they don't

have a destroyer. They just have CV,

battleship, and cruisers.

Okay, that's actually good. That means

that I I can roam around freely.

>> Yeah, that's what I was saying.

>> Oh, yeah. Sorry.

I'm bad at listening. Uh-oh.

This guy's right beside me. Oh gosh,

he's going to take fire. I'm going to

get hit. Get away from me.

>> I think they're not sending many planes

out.

>> He's not.

>> Unless it's on the other side of the

map. Yeah, maybe he um

uh this guy's going to pop around the

right side of the island.

>> How far? Seven clicks.

Shoot my torps. I'm sending my torpedo

bombers for that guy that's on the

flank. And then give him a good old

Texas ping, baby.

>> Holy detected.

>> I might torped this guy.

>> He's not avoiding that.

No,

>> he is not avoiding that.

Oh, and I double sniped it, baby. He's

gone. He's cooked. He's cooked. Just

live, Otter. Live. Live, Otter. Yeah.

Let's go.

Charges for you.

>> Oh, true. True.

>> Enemy battleship founder.

>> Uh, it's kind of far from me. I should

be all right.

Yeah, I'm all right.

Dude, I was harassing that boxit

earlier. Got him down to half health.

[laughter]

>> Okay, I'm going to go after the

Baltimore here. I'm going to I'm going

to dive him.

>> Oh yeah,

>> before this match ends.

>> He is He is hurt.

>> Oh, he might get shot at shot at

anyways.

>> Oh wow. Holy.

>> Yeah, he's taking a lot of hits. I'm

going to shoot. Just those two guys over

there.

>> I was talking about the aircraft

carrier. I just watched him get

one shot from like 11k health.

[laughter]

>> All right. And give him a good old text.

>> Sending my bombers over for the

>> Oh, he dodges the ping. He's crazy. He's

crazy. I'm going to dive.

>> I'll give you air support.

I think those are going to hit

unttracked. Goodbye. Yep. Cool.

Those didn't even get track. GG.

>> Good job team. That was a really solid

team. Alrighty, that is the end of

today's episode. Thanks for watching to

the very end. Thanks to World of

Warships for sponsoring the episode for

today as well. Really appreciate them.

They've been very cool. And this was a

really laid-back sponsorship. They just

wanted me to cover the new event. Wanted

me to play the game. Gave some press

accounts for me and my buddies to play

with. And uh we ended up running low

rank [music] tier six most of the time

[laughter] anyways which is something

you can grind to in two days apparently

was as for what I did. Uh but I honestly

if I grind it again I could probably get

to tier six in one night. I think I

could make a new account and do it in

one night now that I know all the

bonuses and and all the progression

things that I can do. Um yeah, easy easy

I could do it in one night. The game is

fun. It is a slower paced game. You

might honestly think that some of the

like action in the episode was was

surprisingly low. A lot of times you're

spent kind of maneuvering your ship and

getting into positions to attack people

and shooting people that are very far

away with volleys that take 30 seconds

to reload. But that that pacing, it

makes it to where this game isn't a

crazy uh high energy like high ex

[music] I don't know how to say. I don't

I feel like I'm not expending myself

playing this game. I actually feel like

I can lay back and just chill and play

this game. You can also play it on Steam

Deck, by the way. It runs pretty well on

Steam Deck. Um, and obviously consoles

with the World [music] of Warships

Legends, but it's definitely a very

strategic game over like flicking your

mouse in the right spot and hitting a

head shot, you know? So, I think that

these sort of vehicular combat games are

uh do a good job at making that the

case. It's a lot more strategic. It's a

lot more about map knowledge, about ship

knowledge, knowing the weak points of

different ships, knowing the weapon

deployment strategies, and all that.

It's very, very fun getting into a game,

a big universe like [music] this that

I've never been in before and learning

new things. So, thanks to World of

Warships. Thanks for you for watching to

the end of the episode. I appreciate you

guys all very, very much and I will see

you in the next one.
