There is precedent for this in the Mediterrean HMS Formidable in formation with the other capital ships she was 3rd in line behind HMS Warspite, and HMS Valiant and in front of HMS Barham at the battle of Cape Matapan did fire a salvo at the Italian cruisers before she was ordered to head out of line, okay maybe not a battleship and she did have 3 battle wagons around her, I think if the crew had had the chance they would have boarded one the cruisers with cutlasses and pistols just for the hell of it...

@@FenrirPonzi But his story lives on, by God 🥲

I did figure out a way for 'night' air strikes. (though barely) Enemy CAP lands between 1800 and 1805. If you identify the target formation, then push your attack group a few nm past it, then when night kicks in, the CAP lands and you can attack the formation as you're 'returning' to land at your own bases/CVs. It takes serious timing and not a small amount of luck, but I've been able to pull it off a few times. Ah, it's critical to remember to keep the enemy formation between your attack group and it's launch points.

@agreenarrow

Ай бұрын

You can also just edit the game files to allow both aircraft to spot enemy formations at night time, and to change the hours aircraft can be launched. But this will also allow the enemy faction the same.

Seeing how quick it became chaotic. I didn’t expect you to sink carrier in the first episode. I’m excited to watch all of this

Hermes, with her bow already underwater: exists Wolfpack: i can launch aircraft from there

Wolfpack, it wasn't just the prospect of a new theater that made me click over to this video fast enough to get whiplash: It was the fact that you're playing the defensive side. The ABDACOM East Indies series was riveting to watch, as you methodically turned the IJN's momentum back against them, and I'm excited to see how you'll try to do it again here. Also, it's cool that this is your follow-on from the Centrifugal Offensive - it's like that was the plan all along!

It’s nice to see the British get some representation in a fluent strategy game ( I know Atlantic fleet exists ) that an I love the looks of there carriers.

Wow! Most WotS campaigns start pretty slowly, as the opposing sides move their forces into position. But, this one started with quite a dramatic opening series of battles! One piece of advice for anyone playing this game: Never, never leave combat while an enemy carrier is on fire. More than any other type of ship, carriers can go from relatively lightly damaged all the way to sinking, as long as they continue to burn. This is also historically accurate, with many real examples from WWII. Good job getting the fires put out on the Hermes, and good luck with the campaign!

Hey Wolfpack345! HMS Hermes was sunk near the coast of Trincomalee. It’s now a popular wreck dive site. I’m from Sri Lanka (we were called Ceylon until 1972) and most WW 2 wrecks are not known to the public unless you are an avid wreck diver. I’ve been a fan of your naval simulation games since the pandemic and it’s your sub sims that gave me a joy of replaying the silent hunter campaigns.

Uploaded on my birthday, glad to have gotten a new WotS series as a present!

Please keep these War on the Sea series coming Wolfpack! The game looks so awesome and the way you make these series into part gameplay, part documentary like is really cool!

BROO the fact that you made it so it happened just after the first campisten make it like a season 2!! Season 2’s are always the best!!

The battleship on 17:25 is a Nagato-class BB, not a Kongo-class BB. It's because the Kongo doesn't have the bars on top his turrets.

Hermes definitely had the luck of the gods there! Looking forward to seeing how this series plays out!

Great opening! This is going to be a great series.

I think those swordfish crews just broke the record for most VC’s awarded for a single action. With 20 3-man aircraft you’d be looking at 60 men being given the cross.

Hell yeah! Just as the other series comes to an end. Perfect timing! Can't wait for more :)
