What Can Beat USS Montana? |The Ugly Sisters? |Montana vs Bismarck and Tirpitz | War on the Sea

追加: 2026-05-27

[00:00:00]Hello valued viewers. I hope you're all doing very well and welcome to our latest World War II one. Well, not one versus one today. It's actually one versus two or three versus two. Today we have the second in our series of what can beat Montana. The most powerful battleship America ever drew on paper and the Iowa successor that never even got her keel laid. She was meant to be the answer to the battleships of the axes that were never built. More guns and thicker armor. a true ship of the line. But by 1943, the aircraft carriers ruled the seas and the resources that would have built her produced some of the Essex class carriers. In this series, she has been constructed and the only question is what can beat Montana?

[00:00:45]Today, we see if the two biggest German battleships ever built can do the job.

[00:00:51]And to meet your valued viewer request, Montana herself has an escort. Our YouTube members could have chosen the Japanese pairing of Eay and Nagato, but they didn't. They chose to pit the fjord queen Turpets and the Huntress Bismar versus the mighty Montana and her two escort destroyers. Welcome to Grim Reapers War on the Sea. Viewers, our setout today is this is the western southwestern tip of Iceland. We have the two are we going to call them the ugly sisters today, guys?

[00:01:23]>> Oh yeah, >> we've got Bismar here. Turpets here.

[00:01:26]30,000 yds south is the triple of Montana and we have summers class and we have summer's class. Viewers, for this to make sense or to be important, we need to go over the stats. I'll do it as quickly as I can. So Montana, if we remember, dimensions 920 ft long, 120 ft in the beam, 63,000 tons, 28 knots, 2,800 men. Weapons, what does her damage is a big 16 in mark 7s 12 in four turrets by 50 long, 42,000 yard range, 30 second reload time. Secondary guns, 5-in guns, 20 of them, 54 long mark 16s, 26,000 yds, reload time 5 seconds. We have her sensors and armor 11 mile visual horizon 27 m radar horizon, armor belt 18 in, deck 10 in, mag 21 in, turret bridge 23 in, and superructure 15 in. The destroyers we don't use yet because we haven't done any well much destroyer work at all. So, let's have a quick look and remind ourselves.

[00:02:21]Summer's class, 380 ft long, 36 feet wide, just over 2,000 tons, 39 knots.

[00:02:27]Speed is everything. Uh, crew 235 men.

[00:02:30]Weapons, 5-in gun, Mark 22, 38 long, and they have eight of them. So, it's a pretty heavy destroyer. 18,000 yd range, 17,000 yd range, reload time 5 seconds.

[00:02:41]Torpedoes Mark 15, 16 of them, 14,000 yd range, 26 27 knots. Quickly go over the sisters. They're almost identical. So maybe I'll just go over one. Actually, let's go over Bismar. They are about 50,000 tons each, 820 ft long, and 118 ft in the beam. Max speed 30 knots, about 2,000 me. Weapons, they both have 15-in guns in four turrets, 52 long.

[00:03:07]40,000 yd range, 24 second reload time.

[00:03:11]Secondary guns 16 4.1 in 65 long 20,000 yd range 4 second reload time. Tertiary guns 12 of them 5.9 in 55 long 25,000 yard range 10 second reload time since armor very similar visual horizon 11 mi surface search radar 10 mi belt 13 in deck 5 in mag 13 in turret 14 in bridge 14 in superructure 8 in and just to show the turrets had the upgraded radar density so let me just prove that very quickly she has 22 uh nautical radar so a much bigger radar on turpps We're going to have Chief controlling the ugly sisters. We're going to have Dirty controlling Montana and her escort.

[00:03:56]Before we take orders, let me just explain why uh it was been agreed to have these destroyer escorts in viewers.

[00:04:01]Montana does have a weak point. We found it's a bit of an unrealistic weak point.

[00:04:06]Let me explain. You've got all these secondary guns. Let me try and get an angle. One, there two, there three, there four, there five turrets. But in game, just the way game works, if I were to go here, you can see they just have one hit box. So it just needs that one hit box to get hit. Basically whatever it is that area there and they all go down which is has it's a bit of an Achilles heel and a bit unrealistic. I think we'll all agree. So to help compensate for that we've got the two destroyers in. Speaking of destroyers, can I have initial orders from Montana and her escorts, please?

[00:04:34]>> Montana 45° left. AP loose spot and target tpets. Smoke off on Montana. I I >> both destroyers full speed north.

[00:04:46]>> Smoke on.

[00:04:47]>> I I >> target Bismar AP full spot.

[00:04:52]>> I only have H but still.

[00:04:54]>> Roger Dirty. Can I please have the sisters farming or Oh, just orders please.

[00:05:00]>> Okay. Both of the sisters are going to be AP narrow or AP full spot on the Montana.

[00:05:06]>> AP full spot.

[00:05:07]>> They're each going to >> each are going to go 45° opposite direction.

[00:05:11]>> Roger. So that is going to be Bismar out there. That's going to be Turpet out there. Smoke condition.

[00:05:16]>> No smoke.

[00:05:17]>> All right, off we go. All right, here we go, viewers. 50,000 tons, 53,000 tons, 63,000 tons, 2,000 tons, and 2,000 tons.

[00:05:26]This is going to be immense. And these are big destroyers as well, guys. They have eight 5-in guns.

[00:05:31]And the Fletchers had, I think, 10.

[00:05:34]>> They had an extra turret, a midship.

[00:05:36]>> Wow. And these are anti.

[00:05:38]>> They were basically gunboats.

[00:05:40]>> Yeah. Check your angles. Angles not in.

[00:05:42]Angles probably will be in. Angles in. Definitely will be in. So 15 in. 15 in. 15 in. 15 in. 16 in. 16 in. 16 in.

[00:05:52]16 in. Uh check your rears. Your rears are in.

[00:05:57]>> Almost like we know these ships and their angles.

[00:06:00]>> Yeah. How about that? Uh you're you're targeting turrets, aren't you, Montana?

[00:06:03]Yes, you are.

[00:06:04]>> Yep.

[00:06:04]>> Yeah. Done. Done. Done. Done. Best radar, Montana. Second best radar tp third best radar, Bismar. And I didn't even check these guys' radar. Um, >> they actually have better radar.

[00:06:14]>> Oh, no. 11 mile rad. Yeah. So, they've got better radar than Bezark. No armor obviously because they're destroyers.

[00:06:20]But yeah, visible horizon is very low obviously. Oh, right.

[00:06:24]>> He's going after Terence cuz she's the most dangerous her better radar.

[00:06:28]>> Because of a better radar. So, he wants to silence her as quickly as possible.

[00:06:31]Makes perfect sense, guys. Uh, right. We are staggering. 2 minutes in. The first salvos haven't fallen yet. And when they do, right, let's check some solutions.

[00:06:38]Montana, you are bad. Ter, you are me. And Bismar, you are excellent.

[00:06:46]Bismar's amazingly got the best solution. She's targeting Montana.

[00:06:49]>> AP narrow spot off.

[00:06:50]>> AP narrow spot off. Bismar. Done. And confirm. Check tpets again. They're just getting their eye in. Done. Same.

[00:06:57]>> Yep.

[00:06:57]>> Done. Confirm. And check Montana. Same.

[00:07:00]>> AP full spot off.

[00:07:02]>> AP and confirm. All right. They're on their radials now. That means they can get their solution up. Their solution is up. They've turned their spotters off.

[00:07:11]They've got their ranging orders. Um, we should speak about the viewers about well, we got before it gets chaotic about their orders. Uh, these guys fired torpedoes. Obviously, they're destroyers. That's what they do. So, we've had to put some rules in place about avoiding the torpedoes because of gameplay reasons because we can see the torpedoes here. Does anyone want to go run through that, Willie? Yeah, we just basically have a gentleman's agreement that um typically you could not see the torpedoes till about 1,000 yards. Yes, we know if you had hydrophones, you could probably hear them be launched, but we're trying to make it a little fairer.

[00:07:47]>> Yeah, it's the only bad thing about doing this PvP and that both boys can see the map obviously, but overall it still works out better like this. Oh, Montana's the first to get hit. Wow, that is a actually a surprise. I guess finally she's outgunned cuz she's got 12 guns. These guys have got 16 guns. Not quite as big but almost as powerful because there's such high velocity. The German guns are such hot shells. Super uh superficial damage but it's it's an indicator. It's it's an early indicator.

[00:08:16]Oh my god. Wow. What a lucky shot.

[00:08:19]>> Don't jinx me.

[00:08:20]>> Look at that. Turbus have been hit. Oh, white turrets out. White turrets out.

[00:08:26]Always happens.

[00:08:26]>> All right, let me do my job. Narrow on Montana >> AP narrow fire and confirmed you are perfect uh fire control you are Oh god it's going to be perfect fire control you are bismar's losing fire control FYI >> AP full spot >> confirmed check the turret so it's going to be a battle between these two at the moment she is wide turret out and some superficial hits that was dangerously near the magazine Montana is >> Montana narrow AP >> fire for effect confirmed can we finally See the end of Montana.

[00:08:59]Look, she's been hit. She's been hit. 15 in. 15 in, but it's not going through.

[00:09:03]16 in.

[00:09:04]>> So, morning folks, if you made it this far to the video, please do like, subscribe, ring that bell for us. Uh, consider becoming a member, please.

[00:09:11]Cheers.

[00:09:11]>> Yes, please.

[00:09:12]>> Montana, smoke on.

[00:09:13]>> Smoke on Montana AI.

[00:09:15]>> What that does, viewers, it favors the guy with a better radar. Montana has slightly better radar.

[00:09:22]>> So, these interpret damage.

[00:09:24]>> Interpret damage. AI.

[00:09:27]Hey, >> take that uh repair party off the uh belt and put it on the gun. It's on fire. Done. Okay, checking everyone's solutions.

[00:09:38]>> Samson, 45° left.

[00:09:40]>> 45° left. Samson. I Montana is >> summer targets.

[00:09:45]>> Hold and fire. Done. Better. Okay. Yep. She You're happy she's going now? Yeah.

[00:09:52]>> Y >> Okay, good. Quick check. Samson, is she firing? Is Samson firing? Yes, she is.

[00:09:56]She's firing all is well. Right, check the big ships. If at any point you want me to pause, just say pause, guys, because it's going to be hit hot and heavy. Right, your solution is okay. Um, you don't need your spotter on. You want to keep it on, though, Montana?

[00:10:09]>> Yep.

[00:10:10]>> I I'm going to leave you as you are.

[00:10:12]Your damage is it's not too bad. It's not too bad. B hit obviously. Let's quickly check our solution. Oh my god, what happened there? Nothing. Uh, solution is fine. You don't need any help. Uh, turpets, your solution is bad on tpets. Bad >> AP full spot.

[00:10:25]>> AP full spot. Fire. Got to check your damage.

[00:10:30]Better than it was. Back to you. Lucky hit. Uh, all is well. Look how many tur hit by the fives now. W battle viewers.

[00:10:40]This is a battle to end all freaking battles. This is >> Bismar. I want to retarget the summers.

[00:10:48]>> Roger. So, oh my god. I'm going to have to ignore whatever's happening there and pretend it didn't happen. So, I want to stop. I want to stop. I want to hold.

[00:10:56]I'm going to get Summers there. AP full.

[00:11:00]What? What kind of re orders before I fire?

[00:11:02]>> AP full spot.

[00:11:03]>> AP full spot. Fire. Take a while.

[00:11:06]>> Summers straight east. Smoke on.

[00:11:09]>> I I nice response. And go. And smoke on.

[00:11:14]All well. Good. It's going to take her a while to work up a solution. Let's check turpets damage. Why is it slow down viewers?

[00:11:21]Smoke smokers >> AP full spot off >> on this craft. AP full spot off. Fire done. Montana check gunnery. All is well with your gunnery. Check Bismar. All is well. Yep. All is well with your gunnery. Check Summers. Summers is firing at Excuse me. She's firing at Tpets. Her solution is rotten, but it's probably going to get better and it's only harassing fire anyway. Uh fine.

[00:11:48]Samson is firing at Bismar. How's my rear arc >> on the uh free turret?

[00:11:54]>> That is in. That is out by 5°.

[00:11:57]>> 5 degrees left.

[00:11:58]>> Oh, yeah. Done. Montana hit. Titus hit.

[00:12:00]Let's catch up. Montana is hit. It's pretty much a nothing. Solution is good.

[00:12:06]Turpps is hit. It's Oh my god. White turret's out again.

[00:12:11]>> Everything above deck is being caused by those destroy. That's right. But it is.

[00:12:17]>> Oh >> yeah, >> it's a lot of five inches.

[00:12:20]>> Y >> take the damage control input on that.

[00:12:23]Um, >> understood, >> director.

[00:12:25]>> Done. Right, let's check some solutions.

[00:12:27]Well, we got it. Uh, you're good. Tit Montana >> damage on Montana.

[00:12:32]>> Uh, that bill's starting to see better days, but okay. Otherwise, uh, you're fine otherwise, and your solution is, uh, good. Bismar is >> Bismar's straight south.

[00:12:45]Straight south. I I AP full spot fire and confirmed. Something blew her up.

[00:12:51]Something hit her, but I think it was minor. It was minor. Sorry.

[00:12:55]>> Don't know what that is. Uh, yep. Done.

[00:12:58]Done. Done.

[00:13:00]Uh, >> Samson North, put it at 020.

[00:13:05]>> 020 is about there. I Montana solution is fine. Damage control is >> spot off and arrow. Spot off. AP narrow spot off fire and confirmed.

[00:13:19]Turpets solution is very bad.

[00:13:22]>> AP full spot.

[00:13:23]>> AP full spot fire and confirm. Bismar, your solution is good. And your damage is what I can tell. Uh, non-existent pretty much. All is well. Samson, >> check the summers since I am targeting her.

[00:13:38]>> Zero damage. You are firing at her. Let me double check. Yeah, you're definitely firing at her. I wonder.

[00:13:44]>> Can you check the summers, please?

[00:13:46]>> I think it's cuz your secondaries aren't firing out how your secondaries are firing something else. Uh summer, you wanted summers checked, Roger. Um that's that. Yes. Uh so Bismar >> narrow on Summers and Samson.

[00:13:59]>> Narrow fire. Bismar. What are your secondaries firing at? Do you know what your secondaries firing at? They're firing Montana. The secondaries are firing at Montana.

[00:14:07]>> So you want them firing at >> and Samson. So you target that. Got to be really careful here. Right. Secondar is now firing at Samson. Primaries firing at Summers. Okay. So these >> check summers, please. Samson.

[00:14:26]>> Yep. Done.

[00:14:27]>> Torpedoes. So put it on half and fire.

[00:14:31]>> Fire. Roger.

[00:14:33]>> Also check the arcs >> in but not firing.

[00:14:36]>> They're in >> for away. Yeah. Up we go. Okay, range to Bismar is 4,500 yards. Right, these guys are firing at Samson.

[00:14:47]>> Considering how slow those torpedoes are, that's how close you got to be.

[00:14:52]>> Roger. Um, all of Bismar's guns are firing at um Montana and I best catch up with the Montana battle. Montana solution is fine. Her guns are all firing at Tpets. Her damage is moderate.

[00:15:06]Turpitz's damage is main.

[00:15:09]>> Yes, that's a good shot. That's a really nice shot.

[00:15:11]>> AP narrow.

[00:15:13]>> AP narrow fire and your solution is good. AP narrow confirmed. Uh that's it there. Bismar was a bit of a wild horse here. Man is hard to keep up with.

[00:15:24]Damages. Uh very moderate at at worst.

[00:15:27]>> Scroll out.

[00:15:28]>> That's a destroyer.

[00:15:30]>> Scroll out so I can kind of look to the towards the destroyer. Hard looking >> hard turn to starboard full runner now.

[00:15:41]>> Done.

[00:15:41]>> I can just barely see her way.

[00:15:44]>> Roger. Samson's basically dead now. As you can see, there's nothing she can do.

[00:15:47]She can't move. I mean, >> save us.

[00:15:50]>> Target Bismar.

[00:15:51]>> Uh, right. I need to hold stop. Everything is now firing at Bismar. At Bismar and go. Right. You're ready.

[00:16:02]>> 10° left.

[00:16:03]>> 10° left. IR. We've lost Samson.

[00:16:06]>> We've lost Samson. That was expected.

[00:16:08]She did her job.

[00:16:09]>> Yeah. Retarget her secondaries to summers.

[00:16:12]>> Standby. Her primaries.

[00:16:15]>> Her primaries are >> I have a full light rudder.

[00:16:17]>> You do have a full light rudder. I've double checked that. This really is the the chaos of real naval warfare, isn't it?

[00:16:23]>> So, you've asked for bigger battles.

[00:16:25]This is about as big as we can get. Like fly.

[00:16:27]>> Yeah. What am I supposed to do after this? Really?

[00:16:29]>> There's the torpedoes right up there.

[00:16:32]>> We've caught up so far. Nothing's been missed and no errors have happened. So everything's been perfect so far, guys.

[00:16:36]>> Yeah, full thread of torpedoes coming on business.

[00:16:38]>> Let me check the other destroyer, please.

[00:16:41]>> Yeah, her damage is nothing cuz nothing's targeting her or nothing's hitting her. Sorry.

[00:16:46]>> Straight north.

[00:16:47]>> Straight off I check your radials of this ship here. They are perfect and your solution is perfect and you do not need spot on question mark.

[00:16:53]>> Spot off.

[00:16:54]>> I narrow.

[00:16:55]>> Done. Now firing on Bismar AP narrow.

[00:16:58]Done. Bismar's evading is no tactical use at the moment. Where the torpedoes?

[00:17:02]There they are. Should be dodged.

[00:17:04]>> I was going to say keep an eye on Summers cuz she will turn like a little little terrier >> there. This guy's pounding away thingy.

[00:17:12]>> AP full spot.

[00:17:15]>> Full spot. Main gun fire and confirmed.

[00:17:19]Secondaries also firing at Montana.

[00:17:23]Done. Checking torpedoes. Anyone see them? Yep. Well dodged. Well dodged.

[00:17:26]You're safe. You can do what you need to do. Bismar. Um, better course. Aim her right at Summers.

[00:17:34]>> All right, Summers. I >> Summers R midship.

[00:17:37]>> Summer's red or midship. I She's Yeah.

[00:17:39]Gosh, he doesn't overturn. That's like a little race car. That is double checking your radials. Radials are good. Solution is good. He's happily boppinging away doing bopping stuff. What your secondary firing at? They're firing at the Bismar.

[00:17:50]Done. That's everything done for you.

[00:17:51]Bismar is a bit of a mess at the moment.

[00:17:54]Um, she's going for summers at the moment. That's what you want, isn't it?

[00:17:58]>> Yeah. Have we finally overwhelmed the chief? That that that's what happened.

[00:18:02]Jesus Christ. When do they get so close?

[00:18:04]>> Yeah, we don't see Montana in this close very often.

[00:18:08]It's just a chaos.

[00:18:12]>> Um, use Bismar to retarget Montana >> with everything.

[00:18:17]>> Yes. Okay.

[00:18:18]>> And interpret retargets.

[00:18:23]>> All right. Let me do it. So, target you.

[00:18:26]Just just a nominal fire control. Done.

[00:18:29]And Montana check. Montana check. Both fire controllers. Both directions.

[00:18:35]Montana check. T bits. What do you want on Summers?

[00:18:38]>> Both. Yep. Everything.

[00:18:39]>> I just had to pause just to get my head around it. Uh, right. So, you fire everything at summers. Check at >> pause.

[00:18:48]>> Pause.

[00:18:49]>> Can you jump to summers, please?

[00:18:51]>> I I done.

[00:18:52]>> Select torpedoes.

[00:18:53]>> Torpedoes. Your >> arc. Uh, you're a ways out. 15 20° maybe.

[00:18:59]>> You got to turn either 20° to port or about 45° to starboard.

[00:19:05]>> Yeah, about 90.

[00:19:06]>> Hard right rudder.

[00:19:07]>> All right.

[00:19:08]>> And push fire.

[00:19:10]>> Uh, push fire. Go. That's tits. Go. All right. Can she spoon it around? Oh, cuz she's about to get targeted by all the weapons. Got two battles to keep an eye on now. I reckon she's going to get killed before she fires.

[00:19:24]Oh, she just fired. No, >> she No. How could she have fired?

[00:19:27]>> Yeah, torpedoes away. Yeah, >> she can fire from either side.

[00:19:32]>> Roger. Interesting. Look how close.

[00:19:34]>> She should have actually got the torpedoes away before she started turning.

[00:19:37]>> You also got to think it's the intercept angle where the ship is.

[00:19:42]>> Magazine explosion. Magazine explosion.

[00:19:45]At least she got something away. At least she got something away. She got spread. She got spread. She's done her job. Um, Turpets, I would stop firing.

[00:19:53]Well, actually, I'm not going to tell you what to do.

[00:19:55]>> Yeah. Retarget Montana.

[00:19:57]>> This is jolly exciting, isn't it, viewers? So, this is Turpets here. I want to hold fire. I'm going stop. Stop.

[00:20:03]I want to target Montana. I want to fire probably on an arrow. I'm guessing a beautiful spot fire. And I go to that, which is going to be non-spot. And fire.

[00:20:15]>> What's the damage on Bismar?

[00:20:16]>> Yeah, damage on Bismar is holy banana cake. I can't tell you. I mean, what does that >> 54% that's? That's all you need to know.

[00:20:24]>> 54%. She's an effective ineffective ship at this point. Uh, this guy >> physical physical and heavy.

[00:20:30]>> And we haven't been able to give her her full attention. Obviously, that's just that's just the nature of the game. We only got so many brains going on, right?

[00:20:36]So, this guy, let's double check. He's firing. He's firing. And solution's up.

[00:20:39]Uh, tits I FYI.

[00:20:42]>> Jesus. Look, >> AP.

[00:20:44]>> Yeah.

[00:20:44]>> Full spot off.

[00:20:46]>> AP full spot off and fire check.

[00:20:49]Montana, let's check you. solution is perfect and I can't give you anything.

[00:20:52]You've already got everything perfect.

[00:20:55]Oh, hey, there's your problem. That's why you have to have your destroyers one cells hit.

[00:20:59]>> Uh, you want to flip it? What do you want to do? You don't really need to.

[00:21:02]You pick a gun to finisher. Done.

[00:21:04]Nothing.

[00:21:05]>> Main guns do more damage at this range.

[00:21:07]>> Full broadside. Bismar versus Montana.

[00:21:10]>> Ouchie. Ouchie.

[00:21:12]We are 20 minutes in. God, that's gone quick.

[00:21:16]>> What's Bismar's solution? It'll be 99% whatever cuz it's so close. Uh it is.

[00:21:21]Yeah, it's >> 18 narrow turppet straight south.

[00:21:25]>> I can't do any damage control on you. Uh tpets south.

[00:21:29]>> No. Do we have eyes on the torpedoes yet?

[00:21:33]>> They're on uh just swing more to the cab.

[00:21:37]>> That's him there. They're on an intercept course for his previous call.

[00:21:40]So, it's going to be a tight one. We'll see. Uh right. Taking some damage now.

[00:21:44]And you've lost all your five inches on that side. Uh this guy is 27%. She's about to blow up. She's about >> So that plan damage model, folks, is one of the issues we have over and over again with this model. This is why we don't release it. Okay. It is forever getting tweaked cuz we have forever right straight north.

[00:22:06]>> You know what? Just give me a full rer.

[00:22:11]Not ready for you yet, Chief.

[00:22:13]>> You nerous.

[00:22:15]>> Okay. I think I've done everything for you. You're keeping on that rer tpets.

[00:22:18]What you want?

[00:22:19]>> I can't see the torpedoes. Where they at?

[00:22:21]>> Zoom in.

[00:22:22]>> Mini map. Zoom.

[00:22:24]>> They're going to Oh my god. Oh my god. I can't see them.

[00:22:27]>> I can't even see them. I can't see them.

[00:22:29]So I can't avoid them.

[00:22:31]>> They're slightly to your front. So if cat comes slightly where you are, they should >> turn a little bit. Turn a little bit to to the left. Oh, there they are. Hard rudder to the left. Hard rudder to the left.

[00:22:40]>> Hard ru left. I I can't see them. I don't know where you can see them.

[00:22:44]Apparently the boys can see them. Oh god. This is going to be close.

[00:22:48]>> I'm going to get hit. I'm going to get hit.

[00:22:50]>> No, you're not.

[00:22:51]>> I see them. I Oh my god. Oh my goodness gracious, man. It's going to hit the bout.

[00:22:56]>> Dud. It was a dud. It was a dud.

[00:22:59]>> Second dud.

[00:23:00]>> Of course it is.

[00:23:01]>> Oh my god.

[00:23:03]>> Next time to zip it.

[00:23:06]>> Unbelievable.

[00:23:06]>> I got to remember there's a there's a >> that one went under.

[00:23:09]>> As Sevie said, he served on the battleship. There would be so many eyes.

[00:23:14]You know that's a destroyer. You know their primary aramentance is huge for >> Okay, I'm okay. He had duds and the others went under.

[00:23:21]>> Jeez, that was they've just done the torpedo run. You would have every eye on the bridge looking >> AP loose spot.

[00:23:28]>> No, I'm done with destroyers. Don't give me that again.

[00:23:32]>> Fire and I think your other guns are firing at him already. All from Montana cuz he's going around in circles at the moment. Right, here we go viewers. Um, all destroyers sunk. Look, it's right there.

[00:23:42]Bismar is sunk. Summers is sunk.

[00:23:45]Turpent's very much midship 20° left off our current.

[00:23:52]>> Okay, just check double check your gunner. You have bad solution, but you're going to have a bad solution. You are doing tids and you are doing tpids range. Oh, all the way back up to 30,000. Just cross. Basically, we're restarting the battle to check your damage. A good thing is apart from your turret, you are a fresh fighting ship.

[00:24:09]So, you're all good. Uh, your smoking midship >> on tets.

[00:24:13]>> Let's have a quick look at tpets. Double check her. She's firing. Yes, all is well. And all is well. Let's check her damage. Apart from her primary over the horizon director, that boy there, she is also in perfectly working shape. So, two brand new just out of the factory ships.

[00:24:32]>> How's the arc on the back guns of the turpets?

[00:24:34]>> Oh, nothing. Terrible. Way out.

[00:24:37]>> Okay. Long out. 20° to port or starboard.

[00:24:41]>> So if we had any of our German speakers here, I could pronounce this, but it's Groupen Hawen Galat, which is a group listening device, which is the hydrophones that were fitted Bismar and tpets. So yeah, they'd have had a good idea those torpedoes were on the way.

[00:24:54]>> I'll be 100% honest. I was not worried about the torpedoes because the Americans have such a dud rate.

[00:25:01]>> Why?

[00:25:02]>> Well, it's actually historically accurate. until about 1944.

[00:25:07]Uh they had a horrible uh rate.

[00:25:09]>> Well, they can make airplanes to fly around the world. How hard is it to make a torpedo that pushes in the front and blows up? Jesus Christ.

[00:25:15]>> Bureaucracy. Bureaucracy. The torpedo bureau of the uh United States Navy kept telling the submarine captain, "No, our torpedoes are perfect. You just suck."

[00:25:28]>> Oh, there you go. Apart and don't blow up. Montana ladies.

[00:25:34]>> It was actually Willis Lee who um got him on it and got him fixed.

[00:25:40]>> Willis Chingley.

[00:25:42]>> Yes. Mr. >> Ching chain.

[00:25:45]>> A sharpshooter with a battleship.

[00:25:48]>> Now I think the best story is that had his own stamp. That was above priority, wasn't it?

[00:25:52]>> It was just like get this done now.

[00:25:55]>> Wow. What a battle.

[00:25:56]>> That's what everybody else was putting on theirs. They were putting urgent. So he just had he he actually put another stamp that said, "Get this done now." I can't remember the exact phrase, but it was like, "I want this done now. It will get done now. Everybody else is subservient to me." Which I thought was fantastic. Uh right. Uh we've got a cruise campaign going on at the moment, folks. Uh it's a tournament knockout.

[00:26:16]>> First video went up a couple of days ago. You seem to have enjoyed it. We'll keep going with that, folks. Damage repaired. What you can repair. So a fresh fighting ship. 26,000 y. Let's fight. Goodness. Uh secondary is going in just to annoy him.

[00:26:32]Basically an equal amount of damage on on e ship. Turrets has hit been hit by the first 16 incher.

[00:26:39]Haven't even checked ammo supplies. Uh let's have a look. It's the superficial warning shot on the bow and Montana's hit because this guy's actually got a really good aim and a really good radar.

[00:26:49]I'm surprised it didn't do better in our competition to be honest. Um and it's a superficial warning shot. Montana AP full >> 10° right >> AP full spot off >> spot on and smoke off >> spot on check and smoke off check and double check and triple check and all is well ah >> AP narrow smoke off >> so not sure how dirt he's done it but he's managed to use one side of his ship to go light fighting in a post box and now he's kiting around sniping against surus with a completely clean ship side amazing isn't it because I'm a air cap and >> pork and >> well we were discussing that this morning >> and if you look in the uh chat cap we do have a new compiled list of the captain's winning percentages >> ah right obviously I'm at the top but the question is who's second >> yeah you have been knocked off the top spot >> right I got tix nothing I can do for you got your spotter on oh no you haven't doesn't matter >> a narrow on Montana spot off >> 23,000 y range Can we see each other?

[00:27:56]Can we bollocks?

[00:27:59]Hello, Iceland.

[00:28:01]He's in there somewhere.

[00:28:02]>> Hey, by the way, we had our first torpedo hit in this match. Hey. Oh, poor old dirty. Well, there's the problem with this ship. So, what it is is the hitbox is massive. It covers the entire of these things there. So, there's a really big chance of hitting it. But, it there's only one cell modeled. So, it's kind of a it's a worst basically it's a nightmare for this ship.

[00:28:25]It's a nightmare for most of the um US battleships as the model. We are we are in discussions, should we say?

[00:28:31]>> But this has this has this is worse cuz it has more even more guns. Even bigger hitbox.

[00:28:36]>> Yeah, I have talked to the dev and with the next update they are going to >> Montana.

[00:28:41]>> Oh, that's why you had the destroyers.

[00:28:42]>> Oh, triple 15. Could we see this guy beating fair and square all of a sudden turf which does have a big fat radar peppering away at this um and it can penetrate the armor. But look, 17 in penetrate. 18 in is penetrated. So it's doing the belting in because more >> I think those are more partial pins.

[00:29:02]Whereas when he hit me >> well yeah he's got a better gun than you. But this is still a bloody good gun is what I'm saying.

[00:29:09]>> AP narrow spot.

[00:29:10]>> AP narrow spot. I doing the better than the British 15 in did.

[00:29:14]>> Time on my uh secondary >> now.

[00:29:18]Start there. 50% wounded >> until >> until I hit him again.

[00:29:23]>> I'm less than 50% integrity now. So, >> yeah. Well, let's see what happens. You might not even need him. She seems slow.

[00:29:30]What's going on here? 19° 19.

[00:29:33]>> Okay.

[00:29:34]>> Solution on Montana >> is >> perfect.

[00:29:39]Nothing I can do there.

[00:29:40]>> Spot off narrow >> AP narrow fire and confirm 40 to 33 minutes in. Perfect solution.

[00:29:48]>> A lot of big headed on turpets.

[00:29:50]>> Yeah, it's all around the bow area. It's all around that bar area. It will slow her down as well. A lot of hydro drag though. Turus hit with 316 in and then Montana hit with 215 in.

[00:30:01]It's really battering the front of the ship, but none of that is damage damage if you know what I mean. It's just >> bloody moderate at the moment. So, that's going to get a heavy within another.

[00:30:10]>> This is moderate. Moa. Oh no, your C plane is out. Whatever will you do?

[00:30:13]>> I got a spear. Uh to have a C plane.

[00:30:17]Good hit with the 15 in. Oh Jesus. I damn that German ship. She can punch and she's fighting the best ship in the world here. So 82% if you go by percentage. 82% 82% everything's Jesus.

[00:30:29]H Corbett. What? This battle just keeps giving. 84% 84%. We are linked. We are We are index inflation linked here on your pensions. Guys, I don't know how to take you apart. Can we finally have found something that can beat the Montana?

[00:30:45]>> Yes. Off.

[00:30:46]>> Ah, okay. So, you are Yes, you are off on your perfect Montana. You are on and you don't need it.

[00:30:56]>> See what people super battleship.

[00:31:00]>> Interpret take her. Uh, aim her straight at Montana.

[00:31:06]>> Montana AP4.

[00:31:08]>> AP4. Oh no, the guns are out. Yeah, that they're not coming back for a while.

[00:31:15]You'll have to do without them. 81% turppets. 81% of course because index inflation.

[00:31:22]>> Check the rain.

[00:31:23]>> Can you check the range on turpets torpedoes, please?

[00:31:26]>> Nothing. 9,000.

[00:31:28]>> They're 40 knots though. They're very fast. All speed, no pants. Well, Montana's just having a bad run. She's just having a bad run. We've never seen this before. Rot midship on troop. It's all just bad luck. As simple as that. R mid ships. Are you >> She's fighting as say two super battleships. I wouldn't say she's doing badly.

[00:31:46]>> But she's also having a one-on-one here.

[00:31:48]I need >> narrow on Montana, >> but we've seen 82% 2% because inflation smoke on >> Montana smoke on. That will slightly favor Montana. It'll also give us some repair time which we which we she actually needs. Okay, needs to get the farm out. Then you got another couple of minutes of repair and then you can get the gun back, but it can't take another hit. Range 17,000 y for battleships.

[00:32:13]That's actually getting moderately close. 81% 87%. We've now got >> Go back to damage on Montana. Take the spanner off the yellow one at the bow, but check the time first. Never mind.

[00:32:25]>> C plane. Just get rid of C plane. Do you don't need it?

[00:32:27]>> Yep.

[00:32:28]>> Put it on the fire on my left.

[00:32:30]>> What is this? Why is Okay, let me double check you. It's just bad luck going on here. You've definitely got your smoke on. You've definitely got your solution to probably the best you're going to be question mark. I don't know.

[00:32:41]>> Spot on. That is narrow tets which can also see through smoke but just not quite as well. Has fun that out but otherwise she's actually in great fighting shape.

[00:32:52]>> AP narrow spot off.

[00:32:53]>> AP narrow spot off. Done. And >> another 10° starboard 10°. Some fires are broken out of order. It's because of all our secondaries. It's because of all the secondaries are doing a lot of damage.

[00:33:08]81 84. No damage is happening to turpets anymore. I wonder why. Check her. Ah, well, look at that. Took yet another hit.

[00:33:19]>> Shut up.

[00:33:20]>> He's been damaged.

[00:33:21]>> Right. 81%. Hit hit.

[00:33:26]Why is she not hitting with her 56 in?

[00:33:29]That's what I want to know. Smoke off.

[00:33:31]You have your >> You have your solution back.

[00:33:35]>> Solution is back. Spot off. Question mark.

[00:33:37]>> No.

[00:33:38]>> 15,000 y. It's a classic battleship.

[00:33:41]Point blank for a battleship. Duel. Now just wait your fire now. Wait a fire.

[00:33:46]This guy's got a lot more weight of fire. This basically become a joust.

[00:33:50]>> I got to admit this is very painful for me.

[00:33:53]>> Yeah, but you got to do your job. What I'll pay you for. Pay you extensively for benefits and sick pay between the props. Okay. All right.

[00:34:01]and >> and put it on the bridge.

[00:34:03]>> Come on. Just so it's all that weight of fire and these 15 in are big guns as well. Big penetrative guns.

[00:34:11]>> Montana just cannot respond to that.

[00:34:13]Confirmed. Check. Montana. Montana is fine for gunnery wise, but she has just not got that that that >> when you go back to tit look at her secondaries.

[00:34:24]>> Yeah, they're all firing.

[00:34:25]>> See how many? Yeah, >> they're just chewing the American ship to pieces. Ah, okay.

[00:34:32]>> The turret >> about damn time. B turrets out for 2 minutes. That's going to ease up ease a little bit of Montana's pain. Just a little bit. What she needs is a couple of big just big solid hits. Just do big solid hits. All you got to do >> take the spanner off my uh left rear.

[00:34:48]Put it on the engine fire.

[00:34:51]>> Just got hit.

[00:34:53]>> Oh, okay. That's a nothing. That's a nothing.

[00:34:57]>> Yeah, you're right. It's a nothing.

[00:34:59]>> Yeah, just just clipped slightly too far.

[00:35:02]>> Yeah, I've lost my fire director and my smoke stack. That's why I'm so slow.

[00:35:07]>> Yes, absolutely. This is why um this is exactly an example of why losing that annoying 5 in I don't want to say bug, but feature can absolutely hamstring the ship.

[00:35:18]>> Slow down Montana 10 knots.

[00:35:21]>> All right, slow down Montana 10 knots.

[00:35:23]put less oxygen over the fire.

[00:35:24]Obviously, was hit a lot, but no actual damage, which is a bit weird. Uh, U63 was hit a lot and lots of damage. Uh, yeah.

[00:35:33]>> Put the spanner off the yellow one up front.

[00:35:36]>> Yep.

[00:35:37]>> Front left. Put on the uh secondary director.

[00:35:40]>> Roger. You got nothing on your primary director at the moment.

[00:35:44]>> Not that you probably need it at this point at this range anyway. 61% 76% just not doing that damage for whatever reason.

[00:35:52]Montana hit. Montana hit. Montana hit.

[00:35:55]Yep, that's the cycle. That's gone.

[00:35:57]Well, viewers you chose wisely, it seems.

[00:36:01]>> I'm going to call BS.

[00:36:05]>> That's weird. I wasn't expecting either.

[00:36:08]>> Question is now question is could Turp >> Could Turpus have beating her on her own?

[00:36:12]>> Not a chance.

[00:36:14]>> Not a chance.

[00:36:15]>> Oh, Tus has got her own problems.

[00:36:18]>> Is my smoke on?

[00:36:20]Uh, no. It's not >> smoke is on. Slightly gonna favor Montana for what it's worth now.

[00:36:27]Everything's still B turrets out forever. Basically, >> like all of a sudden I just stopped hitting.

[00:36:32]>> Yeah, you did.

[00:36:33]>> Yeah, >> I think there two I think it's just a bad bad bunch of dice rolls. Montana magazine explosion. That's Oh, I missed it. I missed it.

[00:36:41]>> Wow. 23 in of armor penetrate. I told you they were hot guns. Wa.

[00:36:46]>> [ __ ] Something's wrong.

[00:36:48]>> I I'm stunned. Even if guys the magazine didn't happen, it was I mean I just really it it was it was reaching its way down. Right, let's try and work out. I mean, as a neutral observer, I really enjoyed that. You have Montana starting down here with a couple of destroyers.

[00:37:01]They ganged up on Bismar. Bismar was sunk relatively easily. She was busy dodging torpedoes when I was senior came in and smashed her to pieces. Then Turpets dealt with the little guy down here and then engaged uh Turpets on more or less an equal footing. Uh Montana more or less equal footing and actually shot her down which none of us were expecting. Probably just tell you why.

[00:37:25]>> Probably lots of luck but I don't know.

[00:37:27]Send >> Turpets got under that 20,000 yard range where those shells are so hot every time they hit they were at least partial pinning the Montana. And I think that's how they overwhelmed her.

[00:37:42]>> Yeah. Because if you were doing a 1v one, if this was just Tupperets versus Montana at 30,000, Turpets would be have the ability to be much more tactical.

[00:37:51]She could stay at a long range like you've seen a tactical fight. In this, she couldn't do the tactical fight. She was already close in and blah blah blah blah blah, whatever, tied up and and and it went within Turp's kill zone, right?

[00:38:02]Is that sort of what you're saying?

[00:38:03]>> Yeah. Montana couldn't fight tactical, but by the because by the time it got to a one v one, I was already inside that hit box that kill zone.

[00:38:13]>> And crucially, even though we tried to balance for it, those secondaries go out so easily. Dirty can rip into a pile and setting fires with those those secondaries. He wasn't able to because of the game mechanics.

[00:38:25]>> Roger guys, as I said from neutral, it's nice to see him get beaten for once cuz um you know, otherwise the myth starts to grow that he can't actually be beaten. Next up, place your bets whether Montana can take on a a flutilla of cruisers.

[00:38:37]>> Yeah, that's it. I hope you enjoy it. I certainly did. And uh we look she's rolling over. She's even got an excellent death sequence. We're going have to follow that to this conclusion.

[00:38:45]Is she going to Is she going to crush her super structure?

[00:38:49]She's not. She's going to go down sideways. There you go, viewers. She even dies gracefully. That's it. I hope you enjoyed it, viewers. And bye-bye.
