- After over ten years away from the hobby, I have finally returned to the game of Big Gun R/C Warship Combat! In this sortie, Gascan's dreadnought battleship the SMS Tegetthoff, attacks and sinks two convoy ships while dealing with an escorting super-battleship.

On the one hand, I am deeply impressed by the degree of engineering implied by the fact that your guns are capable of reloading all on their own. On the other hand, I am equal parts amused and frustrated that the nature of your projectiles means you HAVE to hole them below the waterline to sink them, which in turn means you HAVE to get directly up in the other guy's business to have any real chance of making the shot. May as well build a Spanish galleon at that point.
A three deck battleship would be the best with 68 guns, but they will have to limit the reloading time according to the scale... I think it's 1:100, so 5 minutes of real reloading make 300sec:100= 3 seconds for a round...
Honestly sounds way cooler, until the rc tech improves for battleships, galleon duels sound pretty sick.
@@needtau4138 sorry, for English learners "pretty sick" needs interpretation:) it's Really beautiful or Very bad?
@@needtau4138 I think those three deck battleships must have in the rules that "the decks are obliatory made of pieces, so when hit the parts spread around one foot..." To make the direct hits more spectacular...:) Perhaps.
@@needtau4138 I wish we had such a community to enjoy the naval battles, and though we have scale model clubs (at least one is definitely open), but they enjoy modelling and with the amount of work they spend I think the idea to fire miniature guns to sink the models will find little enjoyment, I suppose one will have to escape before finishing the speech...:)

Imagine the fish in there just minding they’re own business and then suddenly random shells plop in there
Haha they should use pellet fish food as ammo with compressed air to fire them.
@The Revirantless yep. You can use dog food as projectiles. They'll hit hard, too. Plus fish love dog food
@@dethtour time to become underwater small doge
i feel like a big fish would just act as a sumbarine and destroy the ships
For those wondering...
The rules for these fights stipulates the belt armour has to be made of balsamic wood with a maximum specified thickness and water entering through holes in this area must be able to flow to the bilges (obviously the frame and the electronics housing can be armoured and waterproofed with anything you choose, often metal), and the number and size of bilge pumps is strictly limited according to class (so a battleship will have more bilge pumps than a transport ship). This is how it is possible to sink these ships with BBs. The ships also have floater buoys so when sunk you can easily fish them out.
That’s so neat!
Glad to know they clean up their messes.

Completely forgot about this hobby. I was in middle school when I found out about it and loved learning how the hulls are built to take damage on the broadsides, the pumps and the feeding mechanism for the rotating guns.
Bro SAME, still want to get into it but I dont think any clubs meet near me :(
Didn’t know this was a thing at all
I love watching these fast gun videos but i must say this view atop the turret has to be the best imo, really puts you in the action

it's comedic how fast they move and imagining real ships moving like that.
Thing is, real ships are dozens of times faster than these!
It's just they're so big they move slower relative to their size.
An elephant looks slow until it's chasing a car!
I think it's only 7 kmh
meanwhile big ship could reach 40 kmh
I think he's referring to the scale of the speed vs the size of the boats and engagement area, and range of the weapons.
Imagine if they made real ships that can go faster than 50 km/h while still having an impressive armament
Imagine Stuart little being on one of these instead of some boring race boat 😏👍🏼

More expenses and bigger boats but with hobbies like this(boat sinks), you might as well go big.
@Ruska Modified playmobil motors. Look like torpedoes to begin with!
That would literally be a 1000 dollar toy if it was in stores. But I guess they could sell parts for them like new hulls ammunition and other compents inside
@@hansvonmannschaft9062 find a way to make them carry an M80 aswell
@@thatsclassified1 Oh, ha ha ha, that humor. Now, if we consider they built everything from scratch, following rules regarding the materials, making every single sensitive component waterproof, and we're talking about sizeable models with revolving turrets, that fire and reload on their own, yeah, it'd be so crazy to grab a playmobil accesory designed some 50 years ago, already watertight, that runs on 1 AA battery, comes with a rudder, looks like a torpedo, and simply find a way to have it fall in the water and hit something.
I'm pretty sure 20 years ago, if someone heard about this hobby as it is, would've laughed even harder about how impossible it'd be. And here they are.
Well that's always been the story anyway, hasn't it? Across the Atlantic? - That's crazy. Get rid of horses to get one of those wheeled contraptions? Not gonna happen. Etc.
All the ships have a float, attached by a wire to the ship, so that it can easily be retrieved if (when) it sinks. Usually the float is a part of the superstructure made of foam that just comes loose and floats. All the electronics are sealed in watertight boxes so they (usually) survive the sinking, too. It'd be a really expensive hobby if you'd have to build a new ship every time you sank. It would be realistic though 😋
This sure looks like fun. I wonder if there are clubs doing this in the Netherlands, where I live.

I remember as a kid watching these videos
Same! i thought i was having a fever dream when this popped up in recommended.
Probably one of the most random videos I've come across but as an old WoWS fan who always watches The Mighty Jingles to this day, I'm very much happy and impressed of this video! This looks cool and fun as all heck, love the genius behind this~!
At 4:50 you get a good look at the projectile he’s shooting it gets stuck in his bow looks almost like a bb but bigger also that boat with the bilge pump is pretty genius
What is the human fascination to battle each other? Whether real war or a simulation, video games and whatsoever, we just seem to have a never ending thirst for war, and personally, I LOVE IT!
We are territorial beasties. A few hairs shy of chimpanzees. And they can be hard core violent.
Simply put, humanity was forged in violence. Humans that lose all cognitive function and are forced back to basic primal instincts are the most violent creatures in existence. Ever see those videogames that have "zombies" that are just infected people? That is an example of what humans would be like if not for our advanced social structures. Mindless killing and eating machines.
Competition is a part of natural evolution.
Cool, these ships can now rotate turrets. Awesome development. Well done! 👍
SWEET i do something similar but in stormworks. This is real naval war series! Well done!!
Really hammers home how much WoWS plays like RC ships in a pond.
That pump on that freighter had me cracking up. Really cool stuff.
This looks very enjoyable have some beers with the boys and sink ships
This was heart-poundingly exciting! I haven't felt this alive in years!
I found this very entertaining to watch I got an AB special after I left Job Corps with my OS wiper so I've chipped a little paint in my day this is very fun to watch
The fact that it can reload too is AWESOME!
Vacuum is an absolutely wonderful thing.
I dont build model ships, just gundam, but is there a reason the guns are tilting towards the water? or is it just the camera making it look like that.
You don't sink ships by letting the air out, you sink ships by letting water in. You need to put holes below the waterline, so you aim down at close range.
@@kotori87gaming89 Oh man i dont know why i didnt think of that haha, i forgot real ships probably are taking shots at greater distances allowing rounds to sort of drop down towards the waterline, i think, thanks alot for the info
@@kotori87gaming89 don't you have a torpedo alternative?
@@dwy1171 also things kind of blow up and start on fire when they get hit by 16 inch guns
@@dwy1171 In reality, in artillery naval battles you basically hole the ship from above and blow up the shell inside the ship causing fires to break out, crewmen to die, and incapacitation of ship functions. Though on a scale this small I doubt you could plant an explosive charge in the projectiles to do that :p
I watch these since I was a kid and after all these years it is fun to watch and I gotta admit y'all made most of my childhood😂😂
We're watching a ship committing war crimes in real time.

Can you pitch up your guns to ... let's say, 10°？
I think the only reason why he didn't was so that he could puncture a hole in the ship that's under the water
@@ashtonbyrne4316 that’s ridiculous. The idea that this thing could shoot anything through water is absurd.
The guns need pitching upwards.
calm down
Club rules (and safety common sense) prohibit the cannons from elevating above horizontal. As Ashton said, the goal is to punch holes below the waterline to cause flooding and sink the opponent, so there is good reason to get close and aim down.

Love the look of the RC models! I was able to identify a Nassau dreadnought (i think) and a Deutschland class cruiser, but I couldn't make head or tails of that quad tripple turret battleship and I'm confused by the Bourgogne/Alsace + Dunkerque mixed french bb.
Maybe a florida class BB
@@lucasohrt1294 Could be, but then why is it using the french bb turret design and have the french flag on its bow

@@lucasohrt1294 We all make mistakes in the heat of passion jimbo. Besides I think you're on to something with the Florida class bb smokestacks
Wow, that's some great ship identification there. You're right, there's a Nassau, a Deutschland class, and an Alsace. That's the Frenchie with the three quads you weren't sure about. There was also a Montana class that I helped build, and in other battles you'll find an Iowa, South Dakota, King George V, Gascoigne, Rodney, and a variety of convoy ships from all sides.

I don't know how this wound up in my recommended feed, but now I have a new rabbit hole to dive into.
It was battle's like these that probably inspired World of Warships.
Cargo Ship: "Go to ramming speed!"
Also Cargo Ship: *clunk and get sunk*
I don't know why but it reminded me of that school trip to a lake and i had the brilliant idea to start a naval battle with my friends while we were on the boats
These seem like paintball guns, pretty amazing you guys make these yourselves and have them functioning so well. Great job
if you look they are shooting metal ball's
@@sully1939 yeah, after watching the video I realize the barrels were a lot smaller then I first thought. Very cool how they were able to do this
@@forgetfulpriestiv14 ye I have to agree it is quite fascinating :)
I think something in the realm of iron-clads would be awesome for this kind of thing, not just historical models or designs, but parameters that adhere to the tech and style of the age. Possible turret, possible broadside, but not the sails of the tall ships.
I think it would be cool if you had one guy controlling the ship and another controlling the guns, or multiple people controlling the guns. You could also make it where you can elevate the guns on the boat so the battles aren’t TOO close. You could also try and incorporate some kind of firework system to them? That way you can have more or an EOA and more carnage
I remember watching these 12 or 13 years ago.
What are they actually firing? Little biodegradable pellets or something?
3:16 Ramming speed!
“Evacuation process is now underway. I will go to the detonator, and start the countdown.”
How many working turrets does your ship carry? And wouldn't it be more accurate with a somewhat slower turret traverse? Like 5
I can imagine giving up a hobby like that would be difficult, that's a lot of fun.
It looks like a very fun event.
Dang, that cargo ship can zoom
Yeah, let's say it's "a little over scale speed" 😉
Oh mk
How come you didn't fire even one quarter as much as the other ships even though you had some great shots line up? Lack of ammo or does only the turret with the camera work? This was really cool and I loved the view, I was just getting really antsy watching. Like watching your favorite team play a championship and get a bad call against them or miss a play. I was really rooting for you! haha
My guess is we can’t tell when this boat’s rear turrets are firing
Awesome video!! I've never seen anything like this, and I love it!
gonna have to check out more on this hobby some time
Can we get a video of the damage at the end and if you dont have one already, a video going over all of the systems and how you built them?
I need to do that, at least once in my miserable life.
I really appreciate the Gun Cam
The traverse speed of these turrets though!
This is freaking awesome. I wonder if people could do this with foam tanks
Just train little squirrels to load and fire... 😆
Damnit Steve, you knocked out my crew.
If time allows, adding a warning when a successful shot is about to occur, the or after a bit counts.
If your ship is sunk, does it have to return to the "wharf" until ft round, or just keep playing?
If my ship is sunk, I have to go out after the sortie is over to recover it. Then I patch up the holes so it can float again, and I'm ready for the next sortie.
@@kotori87gaming89 so the internals don’t get damaged by the water? or do you still have to replace the electronic parts?
@@shminkydinky321 All the electronics are sealed against water damage. I'm sure that that sometimes fails, after that happening once or twice I'm sure the owner gets really good at sealing 😉
"An Enemy Dreadnought has arrived."
God the fpv stuff small cameras and small drone controllers have changed the game. If i was a kid now id be building my own circuit boards etc. Back in 90s i knew pcs hardware and software but u just didnt have access to stuff like today. This is too cool
By the way, if you angle the ship, you can still point the two forward turrets at the enemy offering slight portions of the hull. Moreover the angle offers more chances to ricochet shells. If the models are properly made accordingly to real specifics, also the dynamics will not change too much. Of course you don't have comparable guns on board, but that will just increase further more the survivability of the ship.
Aren't you supposed to broadside? It's against the rules to angle?
@@ramiel7666 well I don't know the rules of this game. But showing broadside is the easiest way to get damage. Full broadside is a flat surface that can be penetrate even by smaller guns. Real BBs never do that. Iowa-class for example had a specific shape of her forward bow to allow her to deflect incoming shells.
@@danielefabbro822 I don't the rules of the game either, but just as a historical note, battleships showing each other 'broadside' was always the way they were expected to fight. In fact, the idea of 'crossing the T' (a tactic used through the dreadnought era and beyond) involves showing your full broadside to the bow or stern of your enemy, to reduce their ability to shoot back. Fighting in a battle line (as all battleships who weren't opperating alone were expected to) also makes it hard to 'angle', while getting all the ships in your line able to fire on the enemy. The Iowa class, as a note, was designed to have an 'immunity zone' where she could take fire from another 16" gun armed ship directly to her main belt/deck armour, so she could bombard a comparable target with near impunity (as long as the enemy hit her armour)!
@@oakseya5207 that was a tactic used with wooden ships. 🤭 It doesn't apply to modern ships.
@@danielefabbro822 If you look at almost every single battle including multiple battleships from the 1880s through until the 1940s, you will see that the concept held true, and wasn't just for 'wooden ships'. In fact, modern ships almost always show full broadside, because it allows them to get all their anti-ship and CIWS in a position to fire.
Nice! I used to be a part of a club in Indiana (and Michigan) many many years ago. Good to see BGRCWC is still alive and well!
What you guys build that had you like "this is awesome" or what did you see that got the same reaction?
@@badcornflakes6374 I had a Bismarck, a guy made a crazy detailed Iowa Class (called it USS Kentucky) that ran off a 486 processor, and WiFi back to a laptop to run it. This was in like, 2001.
We also had a beautifully detailed (and insanely huge) Queen Mary, and Queen Elizabeth that would visit the club as a pair now and then. One person built a sub that fired torpedos (all under water!), but they were an empty .22 casing with a ball bearing super glued to the front and the rules committee wasn't "impressed" lol.
When Mom tells you to go outside when you're playing *World of Warships:*
I like how it has an actual functioning bilge pump
What would be really epic imo is if you rigged the barrels up with firework artillery shells
I don't have a model wartime submarine, but I do have a model submarine. I want to make it a war submarine, then I can fight like you sorry I'm not that good at english :)
Your english is pretty good!
thanks but i can only speak german 😅
Now that was a thrilling action packed video
This is awesome. You guys need to engineer some mini torpedos!
I have a similar idea to this. The only difference is, you're inside the boat so obviously a much bigger boat is needed. Then, you add paintball guns in the turrets, and have them reload similar to what you have there. Get a bunch of your friends together, and go out, and shoot each other with paintball guns. . . On boats.
Dumb.
Sounds dumb as hell and too expensive
Yeah and die drowned
@@lemonhead1442 ironic coming from a guy called lemon head lmfao
That's gorgeous! Is this widely spread among the US or it's enjoyed only in one town/county?
There are clubs all across the US. This particular group is in California but there's been a club within a few hours drive everywhere I've lived.
I've never seen this anywhere at any time in the US and I've spent my entire life here, so I feel like it's a relatively niche hobby.
That said this is a big place with a lot of people in it so I'm certain it can be found if you ask around and do a little research on it
@@kotori87gaming89 how do I find these kind of clubs? Is there a website for it?
@@001sharpshot Why yes there is! CZcams generally doesn't like directly posting links (except for spambots, apparently) but if you do a quick google search for "RC Warship Combat" and I guarantee you'll find it.

Вот это я понимаю, настоящее мужское хобби👍
COOL
HOW DID YOU MAKE THIS???? I love these ships so much.
good to see you back you make the best videos of the hobby I've seen
its really interesting how you got these things to work like this. Wasn't sure why your guns were pointed towards the water until I read up on some of the comments. I guess paintballs wouldn't be feasable to use cause of their size? Its still super impressive with the reloading mechanics you got going on. So I applaud what you guys came up with in order to get to this point.
What are they shooting?
Peanuts
Metal BB's. The hulls are fiberglass except for the broadsides which have windows blocked by very thin wood.
Im suing youtube for not putting this on top page
i was watching these kind of videos with rc ships years ago but now i got recommended it again
Guns are too low...
They’re low so that they can hit the enemy below the water line so they sink
But wouldn’t a shot be more likely of puncturing if it has to travel through an inch of water to hit the hull, vs 3 inches of water
2.5cm vs 7.5cm to clarify
@@taylorgrasman8174 That's the trick, isn't it. Sometimes I have time to adjust, other times I have to take whatever I can get.
Looks like fun how much does one of those cost
To build from scratch? Probably a couple hundred if you know what you are doing and make everything watertight on the first run.
Men always find a way to have fun. this is so cool
The ideal would be all the turret operator's sitting in the same configuration as the ship turrets with the "captain" in the middle and a rear observer behind him. All the turrets would have live cameras
А-150
Would be cool if it had ballast flooding controls to increase elevation of the guns.
*USS TEXAS INTENSIFIES*
That's one way to spend a Sunday afternoon.
I remember this mission in Red Dead Redemption 2.
If only you were better at aiming and shooting this video would have been cool. You had 1000 opportunities to shoot and didn’t
The video is already cool because the amount of engineering skill is impressive.
Imagine one of these with Ruger .22 rounds. (that's probably cheating though)
Thank you youtube and the algorithm gods by bringing me here when I had no idea this such event ever existed
This is beyond awesome...

freaking amazing good shit lad
I want to hear some one yell "YOU SUNK MY BATTLESHIP!"
This is super cool!
Funny, half the comments asking questions that are clearly answered in the comments.
Yes, the guns are angled downwards for safety, and to hole enemy ships below the water line so they take on water and sink.
Yes, they're firing steel BBs.
No, they're going to switch to firearms, no matter how small the caliber.
No, they're not going to use explosives.
Yes, the ships are recovered after they sink.
No, the electronics don't have to be replaced after a sinking (well, almost never), they're sealed against water intrusion.
Yes, torpedos may be possible but, no, not with explosives.
The first shoot shocked me indeed
wow these are some insane graphics
This looks so awsome
