World of Warships - Jacuzzi Mode - German Das Boot (April Fools) - YouTube xenofoxx

Nearly a month and a half has passed, and I realized I never published this video. The forth clip I've posted about the World of Warships April Fools event. This one features the German ship called "Das Boot". Like the other bath tub boats, this one has all similar features except for the equipment slot. This one has Hydroacoustic equipment which extends the range that you can spot incoming enemy torpedoes. In this battle, it's an example of how sometimes you can have a good game, do well, but still fail to achieve victory. As for the name, Das Boot is a German term that simply means "The Boat". It's also the name of a popular film from 1981 directed by Wolfgang Petersen and starring Jurgen Prochnow. I highly recommend this film, about a WWII U-Boat and it's commander and crew.

World of Warships - Russian Cruiser Aurora (German Battleship Spotted) - YouTube xenofoxx

World of Warships

A few weeks ago, Wargaming teased the players with a list of upcoming German Battleships. During this match, which was recorded last month, I spotted the SMS König Albert (I presume) near the start of the match off my port side. I tried to zoom in on the vessel to get a closer look. The German BB can be seen again near the end of the video as we are capping the point. ---- I, myself, am sailing the Aurora, one of the three Pallada class protected cruisers built for the Imperial Russian Navy in 1900. The ship survived the defeating Battle of Tsushima during the Russo-Japanese War and served in the Baltic Sea during World War I. Most notably, she was used as a symbol for the assault of the Winter Palace in Petrograd (AKA Saint Petersburg). Aurora fired a shot which kicked off the 1917 October Revolution where the Bolsheviks removed the Provisional Government. That government had only been in place less than a year, following the removal of the Romanovs, the former Russian royal family. Because of this, she is seen as an icon for the beginning of the Soviet Union and the ships likeness was used to create the Order of the October Revolution service award. Because of her age, World War 2 saw the ship mostly as a training vessel, however her guns were removed from the ship and used to defend Leningrad, the Soviet rename for Saint Petersburg. Today the ship is a museum ship in Saint Petersburg, Russia. It's featured in the game World of Warships as a Tier III Premium Cruiser. The ship has guns on all sides, giving it the ability to fire at almost any angle as well as delivering massive broadside shots.

World of Warships - American Battleship USS New York (BB-34) - Nice Shooting - YouTube xenofoxx

World of Warships

I'm particularly proud of this match. Mid-way through the battle some enemy cruisers were attempting to flank our team. I parked my ship with some land between me and them for torpedo protection. Then with three lucky citadel shots was able to destroy three vessels. T'was a good day at sea. The Battleship New York, along with her sister, USS Texas, were the first to be equipped with 14 inch guns. They were also the last battleships to be powered by coal-fired boilers. Shortly after being commissioned, the ship participated in the United States occupation and blockade of Veracruz during the Mexican Revolution. During World War I, New York was sent to reinforce the British Grand Fleet. During this time, purely by accident, the ship managed to sink a German U Boat via collision. Post war reports indicate the sunk submarine was either U-113 or U-123. Because of the ships age, World War II activities would be limited to training duty, convoy escorts and coastal artillery bombardments. She supported landings in North Africa (Operation Torch) as well as the invasion of Iwo Jima and Okinawa. Post war, the ship was used at Bikini Atoll during Operation Crossroads. Here, the ship survived two atomic explosions, and was towed to Hawaii for study on the damage effects caused by the nuclear blasts and radiation. Once the study was concluded the ship was taken out to sea and expended as a target.

World of Warships - American Destroyer USS Clemson (DD-186) - YouTube xenofoxx

World of Warships

I almost survived to see the end of this battle. Usually I don't make it to the end in a destroyer. The Clemson Class vessels were one of the most numerous pre-WWII ship types built by the United States, with over 150 constructed. They were an advancement of the Wickes Class destroyer. As such, they were built with the same flush deck design that gave the hull stronger integrity. Some of the Clemson and the Wickes class ships were transfered to the British Royal Navy and became known as the Town Class destroyers. This trade was known as the "Destroyers for Bases Agreement" where the United States gave the Royal Navy destroyers in exchange for British owned land, which the US could use for military bases. As for the lead ship of the class, USS Clemson (DD-186), during World War II the ship would be converted into a seaplane tender, designated (AVP-17) and later again as (AVD-4). Clemson served in an anti-submarine role, centered around carrier USS Bogue (CVE-9). Within this group Clemson claimed the destruction of eight German submarines and contributed to the sinking of U-172. While the ship was originally named after Henry A. Clemson, a sailor who was lost at sea, when the ship was decommissioned the bell was sent to the town of Clemson, South Carolina.

World of Warships - American Cruiser USS Albany (CL-23) - YouTube xenofoxx

World of Warships

Nothing out of the ordinary for this match. Early one two of our team weren't moving from the start. But they eventually loaded in. Near the mid-point of the battle I noticed a battleship trying to sneak past to our cap area. Took care of that and returned in time to assist with the winning kill. I'm surprised their DD didn't try to cap. I'm in the premium ship, USS Albany (CL-23). Originally the ship was one of four that were being built in England for the Brazilian Navy. It would have been named "Almirante Abreu". However the United States purchased the ship while it was still incomplete. The US also purchased the sister-ship, to be named "Amazonas", which was renamed USS New Orleans (CL-22). This was to prevent the two ships from being acquired by the Spanish Navy in the wake of the Spanish-American War. A third ship named "Ministro Zenteno" was purchased by the Chilean Navy. Brazil was only able to acquire one vessel of this type, the "Almirante Barroso". The ships originally were equipped with British made 6-inch guns. They were unique in the US Navy, which resulted in ammunition supply issues. Because of this, during the first refit of both ships, their primary guns were replaced with American standard equipment. The ship would be present during the Philippine-American War but would not have a combat role. During World War I the ship would be used for convoy duties in the Atlantic. After the war, she would return to the Asiatic Fleet. Briefly she was re-classified as a gunboat, and given the designation PG-36. Almost a year later the ship was re-classified again back to a cruiser with her former designation. In 1922 the Albany and New Orleans were decommissioned and sold for scrap.

World of Warships - American Destroyer Nicholas (Leader Project 1919) - YouTube xenofoxx

World of Warships

You can tell by the stock main battery, this is one of my early outings in the Nicholas destroyer. At the beginning of the match another player asked me to spot for Point A. When the two cruisers spotted me I doubled back to regroup with my allies while laying down smoke. And that's when I made a mistake. I was planning to circle around the cruiser to re-engage the enemy. However the cruiser began to turn, causing me to veer off, which in turn resulted in both of us slamming into another cruiser. Collisions happen from time to time in this game but I still feel bad. The Nicholas was a design that existed only on paper. Between 1917 and 1919 there were discussions and some technical specifications related to a "Large Destroyer" or "Leader Project". Only a sketch of the ship exists along with some measurements, armor and armament information. Some of this information can be found in a publication "U.S. Destroyers: An Illustrated Design History" by Norman Friedman. It is likely the leader design project was de-funded due to the end of World War I and the vessel was never realized.

World of Warships - Halloween Cruiser Igor - Victor F. Einstein - YouTube xenofoxx

Zikasa

This battle was from the 2016 Halloween event "Saving Transylvania". I was only able to play this mode for two days, and THIS battle is the closest I got to a victory. The goal is to escort the steam ship Transylvania while defending it from attack from Rasputin and his fleet of zombie ships. The steambunk cruiser is commanded by Victor F. Einstein. The ship is an American Saint Louis cruiser that has been upgraded through the power of "SCIENCE"... those Tesla Coils look awesome, although would that be wise to have near the water? Considering the ship that Igor was based on, I tried to use as many of my side guns as I could. Granted it didn't help being shot a few times by our pink destroyer and almost torpedoed at least once. Our team managed to kill Rasputin, however by that time I was severely damaged and on fire. Ultimately I burned to death. In the end, one of the Zikasa battleships got in front of the Transylvania and finished her off with secondaries. The Zikasa ships are actually a zombie version of the Japanese Pre-Dreadnought Battleship Mikasa. Hence the name "Zikasa" or "Zombie Mikasa".
