I was beyond ecstatic that Texas performed better than anyone had hoped on her way to dry dock. Sure there had been repairs to ensure that as little water would make it into the interior of the ship as possible, but still. She handled the journey extremely well for a ship of that advanced age.
I was apart of that move to drydock. I've been a proud volunteer with the Battleship Texas Foundation for 14 years now. I also am from Pasadena, Texas where she was berthed and my interest in ships began.
@@curbacz16 might’ve done one in the old style, not the new style. Altho I do miss the memes videos. I couldn’t ever get my ps4 to take the sound fx well when I tried it on my videos lol
In the grand scheme of naval history, Texas is very much overshadowed by Bismarck, Yamato, and so on. I believe she did a lot of convoy escort in the Atlantic in WWII. She counter sniped a German on Omaha beach, and also flooded part of herself to extend her range for shore bombardment on D-Day. Took a hit from coastal artillery later in 1944, then redeployed to the pacific where she did more shore bombardment at Iwo Jima. After the war she ended her long career, and is now a museum ship at La Porte, Texas. She is the last dreadnought in existence, and currently under going repair. Those are just bits of her history that I can remember, I didn’t even touch her WWI and interwar service.
@@sirdiealot53 the story behind that one is hilarious, after Texas finished her bombardment it just so happened that she perfectly struck a German sniper a couple of miles inland who was in a heavily concealed position. Gruesome AF, but also hilarious The naval History channel Drachinifel, does an excellent video on Texas. Highly recommended
Apparently ( This from the Battleship New Jersey CZcams channel) in US Standard battleships / older dreadnoughts, Gun crews were manually carrying gun powder & shells to reload the main guns unlike the fast battleships where they had elevators to assist in reloading.
@@TickleMyResearch it was gorgeous! A little wear and tear but that’s to be expected of a 80+ year old ship. Great tour guides, so many switches and compartments and doohickeys and then there’s the deck with simulated .50 cal and you climb inside the 16 inch barbettes. So worth it if you value navy/military history. Or just like looking at pretty boats. ;)
Since you mentioned the HMS Victory in the video, and since it was Nelson's flagship during the battle of Trafalgar... what about HMS Nelson for the next video?
Hey PG, how about a video on the Prinz Eitel Friedich? I decided to give it a go, and it's a pretty good performer especially if spec your commander for secondaries. It eats cruisers for breakfast. It would also be relevant since German battlecruisers are in early access.
Imagine if the UK preserved HMS Warspite. It would be amazing to see the Grand Old Lady today, likewise with the Gray Ghost, the Big E, USS Enterprise. 2 ships that should've been saved.
literally went to Texas to see the Texas because of this video and figured out it wasn’t even there, it’s Hull was falling apart and is being repaired in dry dock. For my pain, would you mind doing a gniesenau vid? Love your videos, watched all of them would be awesome to get featured in one of your vids. Most obsessive to watch youtuber I’ve ever watched. Pretty please?
@pgrapidz I would love to see some Maine gameplay from your perspective, I'm grinding out the Iowa to get it and I would like to know how the ship works before I dive in.
hey mate, just wondering where you get your stats for tier to tier weight,speed etc?? I've seen it in previous videos and I would love to have a look at these lists myself
I miss my Texas my brother got on my account and sold my Texas ship I'm having to buy it back soon when I get the money but it's a great ship I love it
Dude I was waiting for you to say Jesus Christ lmao to your credit it took you a lot longer than it did me. That’s why I go full dispersion build on that thing lol
Hey PG, love your videos! Wanted to know what is your win rate on the Texas? Same question for everyone else too, what's yalls win rate? I CANNOT break a 50% winrate :( I love this ship so much and am trying to get above 50%!
can you do a vid about the Orkan? its a very strong ship and i play it alot. one of my favorite dd sry for bad english xD "german viewer" love ur contend ❤❤
started playing got Tex as offer and couldnt resist, yet i'm happy if i manage to hit anything or dont get gangbanged from 3 enemy cruiser/battleships from all sides if i go just slightly out of spawn

The last Dreadnought is going to be sticking around for another 50 years at least, feels good man.
Hopefully the last dreadnought will be with us for a very long time

Since chonky 'merica dreadnoughts, pretty please for a Kansas showcase?
Agree 100% lol love the kansas
@@aurorazxgaming5842 Had it unlocked for a while but bought tier 8 but wanted it since it came out, will be my next purchase!
I swear he already did one…?

Good old Texas, I'm very happy that she's finally in drydock
Still waiting for Caracciolo
Used to volunteer my time restoring the Texas, got to explore portions of the ship that was off limits. She really is a special ship!
Incredible 😮
Lucky
I absolutely love the Texas. She’s my most played ship and I was able not watch her move in person last week. Beauty of a ship!!
Yep it’s Best but don’t have it
Appreciate you showing love to the USS Texas my man 💪🏼

“Countersniped a German”
I’m imagining some officer drunk on schnapps shooting his Luger at the Texas lol

Nice to see another museum ship get love. I was just aboard USS New Jersey

"Guns sprinkled everywhere."
Yep, thats' Texas
Hopefully you get a chance to show the new German battlecruiser/fast battleship line, or maybe the Graf Spee
Fun fact, the Texas was the first ship to use Anti Air defenses
Imagine if the UK preserved HMS Warspite. It would be amazing to see the Grand Old Lady today, likewise with the Gray Ghost, the Big E, USS Enterprise. 2 ships that should've been saved.
I really love your videos! Good Job! 🙂

@pgrapidz I would love to see some Maine gameplay from your perspective, I'm grinding out the Iowa to get it and I would like to know how the ship works before I dive in.
Reminder. Texas flooded half of it's ship just so it could continue shelling it's enemies out of it's effective range.
Now I gotta ask can you do a video on the Wyoming because IMO I think it’s the best of its tier and I want to see how you’d perform with it
