World of tanks is shit
Do war thunder
War thunder
OK, now do a reaction to War Thunder as well... I'm intrigued as to what Mr. Harris would have to say about that game
Even with all the leaks?
@@kevinyasutomi9790 Yes
Calling WG's games historical is like calling history channel at 3AM reliable source of history.
The vehicles in their games that did exist are actually Historically accurate.
In all three games.
The Art/Design Department is basically the only thing honest about WG.
@@iron_side5674 just like History Channel putting the face of the Austrian painter on every thing, yeah, he's real but the narratives they're doing were absolutely not.
@@iron_side5674 Have you seen the guns that you can put on the default M4? Art is good yes, but even for actual stuff it's mostly wrong, remember how they had to redo a bunch of American DDs because they were not the right size?
13:17 [About the Bismarck’s main guns]: “They are deadly accurate”
Meanwhile Bismarck and the other German BBs in WoWs:
“Help i can’t hit the huge BB 5 km away from me🥺”
Eh Bismarck and Preussen are both pretty decent to me as far as main gun accuracy goes. Maybe RNG just shines upon me idk.
@@maltemejlstrup4746 Bismarck and above have pretty broad range of RNG, but ther Bismarck is the only one that is not consistent.
I have legit missed a perfect Broadside SAlvo on a Baltimore. ALL OF THE SHELLS missed. At 50km range, they went over the deck and short into the water, not a single hit.
But i have also won a Sniper Duell at 20km vs a Zao that wouldn´t leave me alone.
So the Range of RNG is quite big, but it behaves MOST of the time and does well.
With the Bismarck everything is possible.
It is not as bad as the Old Carolina tho, the new version is much better.
The near-mythological aspect the Bismarck and the Yamato have taken on is hilarious.
The Bismarck has one kill. One. And it was a fairly lucky shot.
"but the Bismarck and the Yamato were amazing!"
The Bismark killed one singular ship with bad deck plating, before being beaten to a pulp by a british battlegroup *and* obsolete torpedo bombers. The Yamato didnt even get to shoot anything before it got ripped apart by several hundred bomber planes.
@@Kreschavieryou do realize the bismark shells didnt go through deck armor right? The ships were too close to have that trajectory its believed few shells land short of Hood and pennetrated the armor under water watch oceanliners designs video on this battle its quite interesting
Yamamoto never said that, or at least we have no evidence he ever said that. It was a line written for the end of the movie "Tora!Tora!Tora!" which depicted the begining of the Sino-American conflict in WW2. The writer behind the movie was even asked where he got the quote from and pretty much admited he made it up. It's a fantastic line, but it was never real.
World of Tanks is not the most realistic tank game. It is quite arcadey. Maybe show him War Thunder instead. Btw, the Japanese Battleship Yamato is not named after Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto. It is named after the Emperor's Royal Family, the Yamato Clan.
I think they show WoT and not War Thunder because the video is sponsored by Wargaming, but everyone knows War Thunder is better :)
Better is subjective and down to the type of game you are looking for. Personally hate the gameplay of WT (i have 1k hours in WT air tho)@@bambusak_
Can't you drift in war thunder?
@@Jakaze_technically yes if you go fast enough
@@Jakaze_ Yes, and you can even fly with a tank in WT.
When did Johnny Knoxville become a historian?
USS Iowa never served in Vietnam of the Gulf. Those were her sisters New Jersey, Missouri, and Wisconsin.
I usualyl have these on as background noise, this was interesting as heck though, you should ask this man to come back again. I put my controller down.
Maybe next time he talks less about what the vehicles in the game re' based on but more about the actual game and how accurate it is 🤣🤣
19:54 there a incacurate of the historian said “the Yamato was name after admiral Yamamoto” IJN Yamato was named after of a province *fun fact the word yamato is called “great harmony”
Under 1 hour here!
16:20 "Japanese Destroyer" 😂😂
I like listening to professionals
For a moment I thought Sam Lake was a historian - uncanny resemblance!
It’s Yamato. IJN Battleships does not named Battleship after Admirals. IJN Battleships named after their province or “State” in US Languages. Yamato has a name from Yamato Province. She is not Yamamoto. Historians should atleast makes the correct name. Yamato and Yamamoto are completely different meaning. Like how Americans call a Liquid, Gas.
So a Background of this ship. Not much really, Yamato only knows for the World Largest Battleship in the world. Even till this day. No Nimitz Class is an Aircraft Carrier, No Oil Tanker is not a Battleship. Not every ship with a gun is automatically called “Battleship”. Dumbass Media. Anyway, Yamato, the world largest Battleship. She is the most heavily armed in terms of both armor and firepower. Those 9 46cm gun, AKA 18.1 inches for outdated people, is the largest gun ever put on a Ship. These Gun turrets have more overall weight than Fletcher Class Destroyers. She also has an armor up to 41cm at mid ship, AKA 16inches. Yamato sole design purpose is to be the Ultimate Super Battleship for IJN to face multiple Battleships at once.
Although FDR might get a Bathtub for his Iowa. Yamato is a luxury Hotel for IJN. Not only food rations are very good on Yamato, she earned the nickname Hotel Yamato because how little actions she did during the war. As Japan fears to lose these 2 Super Weapons. Plus these ships consumed a lot of oil in the process. She only seen in the Battle twice. (Technically 3 if you count her as an HQ ship, in The Battle of Midway) Battle of the Philippine Seas and operation Ten-gō. Ten-gō is her final moment. Taking about 200 aircrafts to tore her apart within 2 hours. But she does proof as a force to be reckoned with. As her sister ship, Musashi takes ages to be sunk by Aircrafts. In theory she should able to pick a good fight up to 3 South Dakota Class Battleships.
Some of the clips in WoWs they've got here looks terrific, they aren't even bothered to angle their armor, going broadside, etc etc...
I'd be mad seeing my dudes just doing these things and being useless the whole time.
You should’ve show him gameplay of CV and submarine I kinda wanna hear what he have to say about that 😂
I like this dude. Get him to react to warthunder
more Keith! he is the best
He isn't even talking about the realism of the games in the slightest, if he would, he'd say that almost everything in the game is bullshit, tanks have guns they never had, some of the tanks in the game never existed at all etc
Hello there!!
We need historians and veterans looming at hell let loose!
much better if you change the gameplay eh ...
For a moment I thought it was Stephen Colbert
19:01 yamamoto
It’s Johnny Knoxville
I just can not believe how bad the players are that played those battles. Please, if are showing these games to an expert do not show them amateur gameplay, AND give them some context as to what the game is about. It is fine to let them guess the first clips, but explain to them how the games are played, so that they can comment on how realist it is, beyond just the historical setting.
Great point. My eyes were bleeding when i watched that gameplay.
Yeah it was a waste for this historian. So many comments about the historical setting or assumptions made on it being a historical battle. Somebody needed to have told him that the concept of the game, like teams for example and that the battle setting is not related to actual battles that those particular tanks/ships would've fought in.
Keep the stache
Hello!
هلا
Bismarck sank in 1941 … so no it never saw battle in 1942 …
THIS GUY IS NOT A HISTORIAN BUT A EX MILITARY GENERAL.
Yall should make him react to Girls und Panzer too 🤣
Warthunder: Crying in the Corner 😂
While he seem to have good grasp on general history he seem to have very little to no knowledge on the actual tanks and ships that were shown of.
Not to harp on you or anything, but the Gameplay in this one is kinda horrible.
Invokes the feeling of my insides being stroked with Sandpaper, at some points.
Do war thunder, I'd this channel reliable? I found this through a ad. He is also saying some non accurate info.
as a world of tanks player myself i can say that the game apart from the tank models is not even close to being historically accurate. war thunder is ways closer to being historically accurate.
and there arent any machine guns in world of tanks either apart from the lowest tiers of tanks with their small caliber rapid fire guns.
If war thunder so good go play it then before that premium runs out 🤡 planes look sick in it, but the rest is so mid. There's more emphasis and weight in World of either
Let him react to war thunder please
How much did WarGaming pay this guy????
Tora Tora Tora 😂
War thunder is much more accurate.
For tanks, war thunder is way ways better
Who was playing these battles? it looked really bad game play and honestly not even worth to show to the viewers.
should say what a pos cheat this game is russian crap
War thunder > Wot
Accurate name
@@XxC0RPS3MAK3RxX well he's right especially in terms of realism
@@Leon83858 realism schmealism. Gaming isn't supposed to be as dull as real life.
So gay just get warthunder
Lou Reed??
War thunder you can feel the sluggishness of everything but i have fun playing The naval battles decent game progression is slow as shit but that is because they want you to buy fake currency for real currency
Whoever is playing. For the love of god if you are broadside to a battleship, in a battleship like bismarck? USE AP SHELLS!!! HE SHELLS DO NOTHING UNLESS ITS A SMALLER CLASS SHIP. YW🎉 if I was in that amagi, whole enemy team would have rage quit. Ya nasty for making Japan look bad 😢😢
