@@banebeard It breaks the game, but it works. Build a barebones hull with one stack, one big gun fore & aft, and zero armor, minimal range, bulkheads, et cetera. That way, you can easilly build three to four times your dock capacity without breaking the bank. Then, once built, design a refit to the stats you want minus a single armor tic, and immediately redesign that refit. That way, the game thinks the prior refit has already been adopted and only takes 2 or 4 months instead of years. Done with midgame dockyard specs, you can build a 50k BB at full stats in 15 months, rather than 5 years. And, yes, that is a LOT of smonk. Edit: it's Jan of 1924, and I built *80* BC's in one go. Even recruiting for years and I can only man 30 of them!

How can we find such glory?

The Battle Of The Adriatic, January 1903 The day the world learned the power of incendiary munitions and the potential merit of autocannons. Also the day the world discovered the term, "Bolostomp."

On the plus side, with how much of the hulls you usually have under wash as the ships pivot violently, an entire Russian fleet sunk is technically only 10-20% more underwater than usual.

"Sometimes, in war, all you get is ooosiedoodles." Great quote ill use that one next time someone yapps at me about (current conflict)

Bad is the german word for bath and cities with Bad in their name have or had some sort of "healing" spring/baths during their early years, many still do have natural spring baths. Badharzburg for example is called that because its a city with natural springbaths that is located adjacent to the Harz Castle, and so on.

Bad is German for bath. In context of city names it comes from there being some sort of health spa type deal, usually some sort of hot spring. Stuff like that.

I miss the long episodes. From now on I won't be using torpedo boats anymore, they are cool but when they run out of torps they are useless. Gunboats do not run out of ammo and brrrrrrrrrrr the whole enemy navy.

*Feels good meme* yes.. this is what i needed.

Ah, finally up to date with the naval misadventures.

I don't know naval history, but I imagine the "punishment guns" are there to range find for the larger guns. It costs less to fire a 1in shell than a 13in shell, after all

the Bad prefix basically means there was a spa in these towns.

Some how I discovered the ultimate strat, a full army of Swadian Knights, for they are unstoppable.

So I guess this is the universe where Rozhestvensky was given an actual fleet instead of the rust buckets that they called the 2nd Pacific Squadron. Although there is a part of me that feels like you should name one ship the Kamchtka and send it to retrace that voyage, just because.

I kind of assumed that Makarov, who didn't lose his head, would be dealing with Austrians, which would mean that they'd send Rozhestvensky to the Pacific anyway, but it could be the other way around as well. So Rozhestvensky is in the Adriatic dunking on Austrian boats, and Makarov sailing with 1st Pacific Squadron, and the only reason anybody knows about the Kamchatka is because some mad man stole it and took an insane cruise around Africa and the Indian Ocean with it... all the while muttering about "Japanese torpedo boats" that "got away"...

I am surprised he did not realize why Japan wanted peace after that one fleet engagement... they did not in fact have a second fleet. He left them with one BB and 4 TBs.

I knew it would happen, I understood the circumstances, and I braced myself for the outcome. Yet despite the foresight, despite the understanding of the terrible event that would soon come to pass. I still felt my soul crying out for the men lost in the charge of the light torpedo boat brigade. I audibly, at least once, did in fact utter “this is horrible”, and so it was. I experienced more horror in those few clicks of the mouse than in the past many years of my life in most all forms of media and literature. I both applaud and deplore you in equal measure, good sir, but I fear such is the nature of war and the decisions we must make. “Kill them all, violence!” - The honest to god admiral of the Imperial Russian Navy, Tex.

Tex, I've seen you break into Tom's office and eat his gun. You have never been sorry to destroy someone's things.

the Bad infront of german/ austrian towns means they are a town with a health resort

Hmm more boat, yes good, Admiral Tex may keep his position this day.

Hey Tex, what did people do with survivors when naval battles were fought with sailing ships? Space must've been sparse, did they just leave them? Did they have a pole to poke them back in the water if they tried to climb aboard? What if the wind died down, did they just awkwardly avoid eye contact and hope it picked up again so they could sail away? Come to think of it, what if the wind died down in the middle of a fight? Did everyone just clock out and go on lunch?

Given the occasional "Tex goes Picric" tendency Can i, pretty pretty please with sugar and a cherry on top, have a tex talks battletech on *FS9 Firestarter*

Weird off-topic question. What happened to the sunless sea and sunless sky videos? I cant find them anywhere, and those were a great way to sit back and chill watching the zee captain.

I imagine I'm getting AB tested, because I got so many ads on this video. Was a good one though.

I have a question. I know that picric acid is an incredibly unstable acid powerful explosive crystal or powder, and it can’t really be packed super tightly because of this. And nitroglycerin is a slightly less powerful but equally sensitive explosive liquid that is stabilized by adding a powder to keep it from shifting quickly under shock. So what would happen if you made a slurry of the two and just poured it into shells? Would it be more or less sensitive? And how horrific of an explosive would it create?

Hey Tex idk if youll see this as im sure the algorithm already considers this an old video and im not sure how comments are relayed as time passes, but was the fall of the ottomans book you recommended the one by eugene rogan? Im very fascinated by WWI history and am interested in giving it a read, and if you do reply to this are there any other good WWI books you would recommend?

Yeet the fleet.

Man I like boats

Jousting with BBs seems a bit too much cavalry and not enough navy.

Don't know if this is the place but... no more Battletech videos ? Just had to ask. It's getting more and more popular and yalls battletech videos are awesomeness.

Insomnia sometimes has its perks

Hey Tex. "Bad" in German means Bath. Towns with Bad bevor their name have some sort of thermal spring or medical spa. So calling your town Bad is actually something good

Thank you

Try right clicking on your division while in combat. It's neat.

What is that song he uses for the intro? I like it but I've never heard it anywhere else.

Tbf that is not a bad battleship at all. 11 is good enough to deal with most things and the caseguns make a good defence array to keep TB and LC at bay. It will get dirty against thougher opponents but is well armored and fast as fuck for its size, so can gtfo against big bullies of its weight class. Some twitchs to keep with the tech and can serve at least until the next war

Define 'no big gun.' Just to see if I could do it, I did an all Light Cruiser run with Germany. Torps, torps, and more torps, with a side of torps and 7.9in popguns. I'd frequently lose four or five CL's to a BB, but the tonnage was always in my favor. Also found a neat but game-breaking trick to increase ship production. The only limit really is crew recruitment and staying in the black.
