I was searching for this video for more than 3 years now. This is one of the first videos I recall watching as a little kid. And I'm still amazed
Same bro
@@RichyN25 Wow that is amaing! I wil check it out
i recall this was the first video i watched on youtube and it also ongineted my passion towards ships
Real 😔🙋
10 year ago i discover this video... today im working on my first RC ship thanks to it.
This is the first youtube video I remember watching. It just always feels great. Rc ship combat has since been a bis dream of mine
i salute all the brave ships that lost their lives on that fateful day
good job, l salute too
i salute too !!
This really needs to be an Official Sport
Yes
my dad si a rc car
🇧🇷 Concordo 👍
No Brasil também kk
Childhood dreams
Yes
Agreed
Yes
It's always impressive how big these ships are when you see them high and dry. Just imagine what the real ships must have looked like, at full size!
massive I'll bet
This was a better click than I thought it would.
* 5 minutes later * “Alright then ... so who is gonna go get those?”
3) Those floats are "emergency floats" and they are attached to the rest of the ship via a string. They help divers locate the sunken ship.
It would seem that CZcams corrupted the sound data. Please inform me of any other videos with corrupted sound, as I plan to re-upload them with working sound.
9... 8... 7... Oh hell! OPEN FIRE!!!
I just commented that
I was about to comment that.

Could all meet at a local park to resolve world issues just like this !
Josh Shaw a RC plane would be heard in the distance and a mini hydrogen bomb would appear from nowhere 🇺🇸
Would be a whole lotta money leftover for beer and a cab home 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This hobby is King and never gets old lol
@metrostation136 There are several ways to repair battle damage. Pondside, we simply tape over the holes with blue painter's tape.
For more permanent repairs, we cut away the damaged balsa and glue in a fresh piece. A little wood putty, sanding, and painting later, and the hull is as good as new.
About once per year, we rip off all the siding and completely re-sheet our ships.
Taping takes minutes, patching takes a few hours, and re-sheeting takes about 6 to 8 hours.
@Mrblaze0505 That is from the ship's bilge pump. When battle damage lets water in, the bilge pump bails it back out. As long as the water floods in slower than the bilge pump can pump, you're OK. Once water is coming in faster than it's going out, it's time to run for shore!
1:36 When you hit your hip on the corner of a table.
When you stub your toe while stepping on legos.
Homie Dolphin / or a Bat-Leth to the brain.
ColbzC lol
Close, but not quite. We use steel ball bearings, up to 1/4" dia. Aiming and firing is entirely RC controlled using electric motors and low-pressure CO2 pneumatic systems.
They need to put water tight compartments in the hull.
Almost 9 years ago, damn I remember when this first came out.
1:36 sounds like someone is actually dying on that ship.
Wonderful stuff... just wonderful.
no problem. We found out, very early on, that Li-ion batteries explode when wet. We quickly stopped using them. Fortunately, Li-poly are more chemically stable, and the new Li-Fe batteries are almost as indestructible as SLAs.
I recover sunken ships by wading or swimming after them. Most ships have an emergency float connected by string to the hull, so you can just follow the string down to the ship and pick it up.
All ships are required to use electric motors for propulsion. We're not exactly racing, so that sort of high power is not necessary.
I NEED to try this someday!
Really neat - another creative way to enjoy RC modeling. Nice to watch.
That is the coolest thing I've seen I need to go there and watch that shit badass
I am thinking of getting into this and have been into radio control cars for a while but now I want to expand and get into ships and this looks like a lot of fun.
It’s been so long since I’ve seen this
Mini version of World of Warships XP
yes indeed
Joseph Tavares there just missing one thing
Torpedoes!
That is true
THey were actually talking about one the ships being "hit by a torpedo" t 3:28-3.31. I presume "a torpedo" is just a high caliber round the destroyers fire out of their "torpedotubes" :)
Frederik sh I hate torp planes in WOWS
CZcams has corrupted the sound file. As of now, there is no way to fix the issue. I plan to re-upload the video soon, but have not had a chance to, yet. Please let me know of any other videos with corrupted sound, so I can re-upload those, as well.
Nostalgia thank you
I'll name the ship after the aircraft carrier my great great uncle worked on in ww2 the name was hms formidable my great great uncle was a pilot and died when crashed into a northern Irish mountain near eglington
Very cool!
@AtLastAtLeast .177" copper bbs are the smallest caliber cannons here, representing destroyer and cruiser pop-guns. For the more powerful stuff like 16" battleship guns and 21" torpedoes, we use up to 1/4" diameter steel balls.
When hit, the bbs punch a hole through the ship's balsa wood armor. Water floods in, filling up the ship and sinking it. We do have bilge pumps to keep ships afloat with some damage, but if you take too much you're going for a swim.
I always wanted to build one. Looks really fun and neat to go to RC fairs.
Fantastic
Wow, We didn't have all the cool radio controls in the sixties so I would launch my model ships and the open fire with my Daisy air rifle. To simulate Battleship guns I would unlimber my 22 rifle.
i did the same with toy soldiers i would build mud forts and let them dry a few days get the .22 out and fire on it from about 150 yards it was a lot of fun
Awesome!!!
Wow this is fantastic.
I had no idea this kind of thing was going on.
It looks like so much fun.
That video was great.
Each of those ships is handmade with plywood and balsa, or from a combat-legal fiberglass hull. Sometimes club members sell used ships, and that is the fastest way to get started. For more information, do a google search for "RC Naval Combat"
Absolute class.
Most ships have sturdy plywood keel and ribs, with a soft balsa skin on the surface. Some ships are made from fiberglass, but they must have penetrable "windows" cut so that they can compete with the wooden ships.
Yes, they are salvagable, and are also useing the "watter guns" to pump the watter out of the hull to keep afloat longr.
I use this video to explain the hobby to people, and it's the video that got me Into the hobby
Looks like great fun 😀
Gotta tell you guys.... this is impressive. Very impressive.
Last ship's version... freakin awesom
I so envy you guys. That looks so fun and neat. Thanks for the links too.
@schelleheli .177" copper bbs are the smallest caliber cannons here, representing destroyer and cruiser pop-guns. For the more powerful stuff like 16" battleship guns and 21" torpedoes, we use up to 1/4" diameter steel ball bearings.
very nice good work
@bigdawny You'll notice on a lot of the sinking ships there's a part that floats back up. That's the emergency float, and it marks the location of the wreck. You can then swim for it (the pond is never more than 10 feet), or pull the ship up by the string.
Thats smart
Those holes were caused by a volley of "torpedoes". Basically, 1/4 inch diameter steel ball bearings fired from pneumatic cannons. Battleships use the same type of cannon, but designed to rotate.
Awesome
@Jerbod2 I didn't make them by myself, I had a little help from about 20-30 other people, each of whom built their own ship. Some people used "kits" from fiberglass hulls, but most of us built our ships from a set of plans. It can be a challenge to get started by yourself, so I highly recommend finding your nearest club. Check out the RC Naval Combat forum to do so.
that looks like so much fun
I would have done ANYTHING to have had this as a child
Can't wait for the "look what I found magnet fishing" video of this pond
Each individual ship is scratchbuilt, although you can buy many of the components (like cannons, hull, radio, etc) prebuilt. You can also usually find a few used ships for sale that are already built and just need a little maintenance to get fighting again.
Alguém 2021 até 9021 ?
🇧🇷Brasil 🇧🇷
Eu assista muito isso quando era criança, bons tempos.
Eu tbm todo ano volto aqui
How has it been 14 years
This would actually be so fun
Looks like fun.😊
that looks like fun!
@sunflowerseeds12able .177" copper bbs are the smallest caliber cannons here, representing destroyer and cruiser pop-guns. For the more powerful stuff like 16" battleship guns and 21" torpedoes, we use up to 1/4" diameter steel balls. That's almost twice as big as your .177" bb!
Nice video. I like how they took the music from Metal Gear Solid: 2 Sons of Liberty, and added it at the end lol was a nice touch to it
yes, we build them. There are a few companies that sell pre-built lifeboats, secondary turrets, and superstructure (the buildings and masts on top of the ship), but most people choose to build their own.
This looks so friggin fun
looks like great fun ..
Good stuff !
On the larger battleships and battlecruisers, the cannons can rotate. Smaller ships like light cruisers and destroyers don't have the space or weight for rotation mechanisms, so they use fixed broadside cannons for close-range engagements. Surprisingly enough, the smaller ships are just as effective as the larger ships, and even more dangerous when they act in squadrons of two or more.
Very cool guys. !! I wish i were part of it. Great video.
@adsbuckeye3 Very carefully :) Actually, since the sides are soft balsa wood, it is very easy to cut away damaged sections and replace them with fresh wood. After that, a little wood putty and a little paint and it's good as new.
These were the same ships Hollywood used to film the movie Pearl Harbor a few years back...I remember them clearly!
🤣
@mom352 Those are coming soon. Strike Models has demonstrated prototypes, and is setting up tooling for production before offering them for sale.
cool soundtrack
@wassupno3 You don't see many in this video, but all ships are equipped with emergency marker floats that help you locate sunken ships. That way we get the best of both worlds: beautiful sinks, and easy recovery afterwards :D
None of the ships you see can be purchased in a "ready-to-run" status. Most require a fair amount of work to assemble the various parts, but none of it is really hard. Its not easy to get into this hobby if you're 13, but you can get your parents to help out I'm sure you can get started.
Airsoft and bb are close, but not quite. We actually use steel ball bearings, with different sizes for the different historical guns that ships used.
@mom352 The USS Iowa is dark blue and light gray, with a black waterline and red below the waterline. Its superstructure and decking are held on by gravity.
man, that looks like alot of fun
@Dercommandingofficer The cannons shoot several sizes of steel ball bearings, from .177" bb, up to 1/4" diameter ball bearings. As for how they work, you'll have to ask that on the RC Naval Combat forum where I don't have a 500-character limit.
thats such a cool hobby/sport, i bet it costs alot to take part in, with all the constant damage that the activity requires one take!
+kineticdeath Yearly maintenance cost on a large battleship is about $100, including numerous sinks in battle. The real cost is new construction, because nobody is EVER satisfied with having just one of these ships...
yup
+kotori87 So, do people build these ships?
Oh, Like Canadians ?
When the ship sinks, do they take it back from the water? Component are water resistant?
This looks fun
@jam9357 This is the Western Warship Combat Club, in California. All the ships you see in the video were either built by their skippers, or bought used from someone else who built them.
@MrJJK2010 I don't know about Tampa specifically, but there is a club actively battling in Florida. Ask around on the RC Naval Combat forums and you'll find them.
Do you recover these after they sink?A whole new hobby I never even knew existed.Thank you.
Once your ship sinks, do you
lose it, retrieve it? What a great looking sport
of course I retrieve it. My current record is 8 sinks in one day.
@@kotori87 bro you still reply? I remember watching this a few years ago when I was like 7
That is soooo bad ass!
I love this hobby. It looks fun and peaceful and dosent cost billions!
That was cool !
.177" copper bbs are the smallest caliber cannons here, representing destroyer and cruiser pop-guns. For the more powerful stuff like 16" battleship guns and 21" torpedoes, we use up to 1/4" diameter steel balls. That's almost twice as big as your .177" bb!
Yes, all ships are built to 1:144 scale, 1 inch equals 12 feet. If they weren't all to the same scale, then it'd look rather strange to have a huge destroyer pull up alongside a battleship that's the same size.
Depends. An unarmed transport only requires 2 channels, and a torpedo-armed cruiser or destroyer needs 3. Any ship with rotating guns needs a minimum of 4 channels, and additional features like cannon depression require extra channels, so for battleships it's pretty common to use a 6-channel radio.
@karlene8089 It turns out that fresh water does not harm electronics directly. It causes damage through long-term exposure, via corrosion. As long as you dry out the electronics quickly, they will be just fine.
To answer your question, no, my electronics are not "waterproof". They are "quick-drying". Easier to do, and more reliable too.
I remember watching this when I was 3 to 4 years old. It was my childhood.
@cannonmann31 I didn't buy any of this, I made it. Or, to be more specific, I only made a few of those ships. If you're interested, though, you can get kits from Strike Models.
Ship: sinks
People: OOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAA!!!!!
@mariopilot808 No. For gameplay purposes, all ships must be sinkable, and that means no compartmentalization. We do allow transport ships to have two watertight bulkheads, but most skippers pass on that ,since they can only pump water from one compartment.
awesome
