20:59 - Tomato Heinz. Ouch! Much better version than original. Thanks 😊!

I was not happy with the final look of the original video, so I rerendered the 1080p 30 fps footage in 4k 60 fps. This should mean that YT allows a higher bitrate for the video and that it should look cleaner. Anyone feel like buying me a 4k monitor? :D Original video for comparison: kzread.info/dash/bejne/p6WamaqpgJDIc7g.html

Cool 'cinematography' - well put together clip! Those He111s were on a total suicide run without fighter cover...

That F4F pilot deserves a CMO for dogged determination in pressing home these attacks!

I thoroughly enjoyed this one. Fantastic views. Immersed me right in the battle. 👍🏻

Italian parachute torpedoes that drive around in circles. Very handy torpedo armament, but sadly we didn't hit anything with it, although it was really close a few times. That shot of the DD shows two torps missing it by 100m.

Electric circling torpedoes. Unfortunately they don't really create a torpedo wake and are pretty invisible. Good for a torpedo, bad for their dramatic effect in a video.

Well, you know that American fighters are usually armored, right? The front of a Wildcat can withstand 7.92 fire pretty well. No aircraft is .50 cal proof, some heavy bombers can resist a bunch of it, but none of the german twins could. By the way, should probably not misidentify an aircraft, before you engage in a technical discussion about it.

Wait a second: why the Ju-87D-3 Stuka's engaging the F4F wildcat? Because the tactic of german pilots was "Drop the bomb, reverse and climb into the clouds" (Oh, sorry for my english, I am from Ukraine)

Climbing back into a cloud, when you just dropped your bombs in the middle of a convoy is a bad idea and pretty much impossible. Staying low makes you a tough target for ship gunners, while climbing in the middle of the ships is suicide. Getting back to cloud level takes multiple minutes. The fighter engaged us immediately after we had gotten out of the convoy, there was no time to get anywhere near any cloud. Relying on the rear gunners is way worse then actively fighting back. It's just logical that you would rather be behind the Hellcat, then in front of it. It can't shoot backwards. I guess you read about that tactic you mentioned somewhere and want to apply is to every situation? The one we were in clearly doesn't fit for it.

I'm impressed that there is a Swastika on the tail of the Stukas, and it wasn't whited out because it might be offensive to someone. I recently began a patrol in career mode for Silent Hunter 3 and while leaving Wilhelmshaven I noticed the Swastika was whited out on the Kriegsmarine flag that was flying from a German destroyer and schnellboote. The powers that be should realize the people that are into these types of games are also well versed in history, military history, some like myself are veterans, and we all have a thick enough skin that we're not offended at the sight of a Swastika! Be historically accurate and leave these games alone!
