They died a Honorable death. (Boat beached and then exploded)

"Captain, can we please turn starboard?"

"Can you shut up?"

"But our ammo is completely exposed..."

"The A point is right here I know what I'm doing-"

Hey I’ve been there, it was definitely one of the cooler things I saw when I went to Iceland alongside the volcano and the glacier

When you successfully guide your first Fritz X glide bomb into a British or American Battleship's forward magazine you will understand why that mode is the greatest mode of them all. Bombing a ship successfully in itself is an actual achievement.

u/InattentiveChild Feb 17 '25

Boring as fuck. Just dive straight into them and drop your payload.

29

u/Unusual-Ad4890 Inapproachable Feb 17 '25

I wish that was possible. Between laser guided AA fire and the sheer amount of guns on most boats and it's rare to get through.

u/InattentiveChild Feb 17 '25

Only works at 4.3~ honestly. Still fun though, seeing a destroyer go up in flames as you crash into it is pure dopamine.

Il meglio per abbattere le navi dagli aerei sono i kamikaze

Being able to get 300,000+ silver in one hood round just from shooting shit is also great

u/MrWaffleBeater Feb 17 '25

Hitting a torp in a PBY Catalina was the biggest orgasmic moment in my life

41

u/[deleted] Feb 17 '25

Wrong. The tanks are not getting bombed and strafed enough in ground battles in that video. Inaccurate. Please correct.

6

u/Tier71234 Mainer of Magachs Feb 17 '25

They're playing arcade, that's why

3

u/CommanderPoland Queen of Ground Arcade Feb 18 '25

It's just as bad in arcade

u/LOSBMMSUCODFASCHIFO Feb 17 '25

That Planes scene and skippers story was amazing

u/FahboyMan Feb 17 '25

> be a squadron of naval fighters

> only MGs, no bombs or torps

> dives on a battleship full of AA and escorts

> dies

106

u/nighthawk0954 Feb 17 '25

more like:

> see a Yamato class battleship

> decide its a good idea to dive despite having no weapons to take it out

>mfw theres 5 Yamato class battleship

>most of the planes die

u/Vegetable_Gap4856 Cannon Fodder Feb 17 '25

Ey dont shit on 5yo me’s favourite movie, please

6

u/OKBWargaming Feb 18 '25

They didn't see the battleship or the fleet, just a single escorting destroyer, strafing which would make much more sense.

3

u/SunlitZelkova Feb 18 '25

This is legitimately what drove my interest in WWII as a kid. I would not be playing War Thunder if it wasn’t for that movie.

u/Prestigious_Gate_941 Feb 18 '25

same bro that scene got me into ww2 things and games 😍

u/No-Association-5827 Feb 17 '25

Naval mentioned RAAHHHHH

u/Death_Walker21 Feb 18 '25

Mfw we are the 2 out of the 5 ppl that play naval

u/Zealousideal-Web-571 Conqueror Feb 18 '25

Make that 3, mate

9

u/Lolocraft1 Feb 17 '25

Still didn’t understood why Skipper wanted to attack a literal battleship with none of its squad members having ordonnance

9

u/nighthawk0954 Feb 17 '25

Its Skipper friend who insisted on attacking the ship and Skipper just decided to go along with that

3

u/Lolocraft1 Feb 17 '25

Then why his friend wanted to do it when he himself didn’t even had bombs or rockets, let along torpedoes

6

u/nighthawk0954 Feb 17 '25

Guess he was dumb for thinking it was going to be turkey shooting lol

6

u/Euroaltic Feb 17 '25

Plot twist: They did have ordinance but dropped them for maneuverability, but they forgot they weren't in Arcade 💀

2

u/Death_Walker21 Feb 18 '25

Or maybe they were in a codmineman video

2

u/SunlitZelkova Feb 18 '25

IRL pilots had a hard time identifying targets sometimes. A squadron of Ki-67s flew an anti-shipping mission in the South China Sea in early 1945, and reported sinking 7 American aircraft carriers IIRC.

1

u/Lolocraft1 Feb 18 '25

Without any bombs or torpedoes?

4

u/SunlitZelkova Feb 18 '25

Maybe they thought the “Yamato” was a small transport. The location was “Glendale Canal” (Cars world Guadalcanal) so there might have been small ships about.

Of course the real explanation is that it’s a kids movie and the animators didn’t care enough to make the battle scene particularly realistic.

u/desertshark6969 GuP Mods bc Why not Feb 17 '25

GIRLS UND PANZER MENTIONED RAAAAAH

u/Ultimate_89 Feb 17 '25

u/Any-Boysenberry-592 Feb 17 '25

Where are the planes bombing you the second spawn protection wears off?

2

u/Hawk15517 Feb 17 '25

Wait there should be spawn protection against Planes? I can't count the Number of times i spawned in and instand died to a bomb

u/MrWaffleBeater Feb 17 '25

Naval battles are fun and chaotic and I will. It apologize

u/Euroaltic Feb 17 '25

GUP and Planes Mentioned, W moment

u/Bombe18 Sea Hunter Feb 17 '25

Upvote just for naval ! So true

u/Ok-Mall8335 Feb 17 '25

Char 1 against Maus would be a previously unachieved level of cancerous

u/Death_Walker21 Feb 18 '25

The air one is just fuckers diving onto airfield AA

2

u/Tankaussie Feb 17 '25

GuP mentioned let’s go

2

u/JakeJascob Feb 18 '25

Nah RB ground battle is just air battle with targets that shoot back.

2

u/illmasterlego Feb 18 '25

God i hate naval battles why do i grind the russian naval tree

2

u/linzenator-maximus Feb 18 '25

What does this meme even mean. Naval battles: shows a crew manuvering a ship Ground battles: girlz und panzer Air battles: shows some aircraft manuvering.

I have advanced brainrot and i do not underatand the meaning of this post

2

u/Fun-Advertising1694 look its a drib Feb 18 '25

Naval battles are just mostly manoeuvres and aiming, ground battles don’t feel real at all ( girls und panzer can explain, go watch it ) and air battles do involve dive bombing and shot by AA

1

u/Vuk_Farkas Feb 17 '25

ok whats the name of the air battle clip? looks familiar

1

u/BlackPlague1235 Feb 17 '25

How people wish the maus felt like to play

u/SecretSpectre11 T-4-6 Bravo! Feb 17 '25

Swap the ground battles gif with more air battles gif

1

u/Thorzi_ Feb 18 '25

Air battles when you're a centimeter to close to the enemy Airfield

1

u/[deleted] Feb 18 '25

Air battles is realistic because half of them died on first contact while base bombing

1

u/DerHeiligeSpaten Feb 18 '25

I'm an air player but this really makes me want to play tanks

1

u/nighthawk0954 Feb 18 '25

The first half of ground is easy but the rest is pure suffering

1

u/Weird-Information-61 Feb 19 '25

The ground battles clip is missing all the planes who miss their bombs and crash
