What is the Bismarck of videogames?

Historians aren't sure what killed the Bismarck.

On one hand the crew planted explosives with the goal to selfdestruct so the brits don't get to claim the kill.

On the other hand some claim the Dorsetshire got the kill with its torpedos which detonated at around the same time.

A better question is what the Tirpitz of videogames is
A game that's valuable for the impact it had on other games, but not necessarily being a very good game either

Sounds like something fun to read. Thanks familia

It was smaller and less armed than an American Iowa-Class battleship.

Iowa got made 4 years after the Bismarck

The Bismarck was the strongest ship on the sea while it was on duty.

What's a big game that had potential and got fucked by one update?

We are talking about the Bismarck here.

Not the HMS Hood

Got it during the Steam sale.

Pretty fun to play.

could be wrong, but wasn't the Yamato the biggest battleship of WW2?

Hood was launched in 1918. It used all it's potential long before Bismark was even conceived.

yeah, just checked, the Yamato had a max displacement of 71,000 tonnes while the Bismark topped out at 42,000

Of it's time, not of WWII.

It still got oneshot by the Bismarck 3 minutes into the battle

>but it was in desperate need of a retrofit!
The Hood already had like +18 retrofits over its last years. Ships get refitted all the time.

based Warspite

That's not the Hood at all. If anything the Hood was too old and sunk because of its lack of updates.

Why in gods name did they not invest in the luftwaffe and kriegsmarine, but instead laid all the chips down on the wehrmacht and heavy armor???

>Kapitän Lindemann would like to know your location so he can stay the fuck away from it

>At 06:00, Holland ordered his force to turn once again to port to ensure that the aft main guns on both Hood and Prince of Wales could bear on the German ships. In terms of the force balance this would nominally give Holland's force the advantage of 18 large caliber (14/15 in.) guns (10 in Prince of Wales, 8 in Hood); to 8 (8 - 15 in. in Bismarck). Holland envisioned the engagement as essentially re-setting, once his re-positioning maneuver was completed. He did not realize that Bismarck was gaining in accuracy on its striking its target (Hood); and Bismarck's gun handling efficiency, was reaching its peak of the engagement. Thus, during Holland's turn to port; Bismarck would come to be "firing-for-effect", with each main-battery salvo landing most, if not all of its armor-piercing shells directly onto the lightly armored main deck of the Battle cruiser

>Thus, during the turn, a salvo from Bismarck, fired from about 9 mi (7.8 nmi; 14 km), was seen by men aboard Prince of Wales to straddle Hood abreast her mainmast. This straddle meant that some of the salvos fell to port, some to starboard (of the hull), and some; precisely aligned over the center of the main deck of Hood. It is likely that one 38 cm (15 in) shell struck somewhere between Hood's mainmast and "X" turret aft of the mast. A huge pillar of flame that shot upward 'like a giant blowtorch,' in the vicinity of the mainmast

>This was followed by an explosion that destroyed a large portion of the ship from amidships clear to the rear of "Y" turret, blowing both after turrets into the sea. The ship broke in two and the stern fell away and sank. Ted Briggs, one of the survivors, claimed Hood heeled to 30 degrees at which point 'we knew she just wasn't coming back'. The bow rose clear of the water, pointed upward, pivoted about and sank shortly after the stern. "A" turret fired a salvo while in this upright position, possibly from the doomed gun crew, just before the bow section sank

>THE BISMARCK AND THE KRIEGSMARINE

The Hood was due for a refit that would have changed it's deck armour. Something that possibly could have prevented it blowing up the way it did.

A massive naval buildup is partly how WW1 started to begin with, and even then with a decade or so to work with the imperial navy simply couldn’t stand up to the Royal Navy. A second massive naval buildup in the 1930s would likely have led Britain and France to get involved even quicker than they did, as the one thing they took seriously at the time was threat to their seapower.
Additionally while Germany does have ports, they open into the Baltic and North Seas, relatively easy to blockade ships into port there, which is why the Kriegsmarine was so keen on gaining french ports for their U-boats. They made the right move focusing mainly on submarines and long range maritime attack planes, but should have gone all in instead of wasting resources on the battleships and an aborted aircraft carrier.

So what did the german navy headquarter decide? Let's push out the Bismarck alone with only the Prinz Eugen cruiser acting as support.

Not sure how those guys got their jobs. The Kriegsmarine definitely needed someone like Rommel.

They had Doenitz telling them they were fucking retarded for not going max submarines in the first place, and eventually he became chancellor so I guess some good came of it.

They did. His name was Karl Donitz and he advocated for more uboats. The money and resources wasted on the Bismark would have given Donitz hundred or more uboats and he could have won the Atlantic campaign

to be fair the FAA managed to land spitfires
sometimes

>kriegsmarine made the decisions
Hitler made the call. In the start of the war it was the only time to get out of german ports, because as time went on they were more and more blocked. Hitler made the call to get out everyone that can act and raid as much shipping as possible in an attempt to bring the brits to the negotiating table.

It sank the Hood which made brits very very butthurt.

Usually ships getting sunk was just war casualties and nobody really cried much over it even when bigger ships got sunk.

But the Hood was different. It was the symbol of the pride of the british navy. Unsinkable, undefeated - Everyones pride and job.

Churchill got so butthurt over it that he ordered every single ship in the Atlantic to pursue the Bismarck.

Denial is only one of the stages.

This. The Hood was essentially the aging flagship of the entire Royal Navy. It was beloved by all and had its own nickname. People remembered where they were when they heard that the Hood went down. The rage it inspired was immense.

Is WoWS actually any good?

It's pretty fun as long as you don't get too much into it and just use it as a timewaster everynow and then.

Never buy any of the ships, currencies and whatever and just grind whatever line you like the most. The moment you start "getting into it" you will join the babies complaining about their ships being out of meta and the devs own autism.

It's true that Hitler wanted the Kriegsmarine to simply push their shitty into the Atlantic in order to gain a hand over the british but overall he didn't care much about the german navy.

He never wanted a war against the british anyways and saw battleships as too expensive and too much of a waste of oil which he needed for other operations like the eastern front.

yeah yamato was supposedly the biggest, but came after the bismarch, meaning the bismarch was still the strongest at its time

They were under orders from their jewish masters to cause as much destruction as possible so it would be easier for them to subvert the world while also tricking retards into thinking they were beneficial to the white race as a means of controlled opposition.

It also didn't get sunk instantly. Both are very shameful displays.

The western allies went already full retard waiting for 1939. They had a case for invading Germany in 1936 and at the time the German army was pathetic. Either France or the UK alone would have steamrolled them. You couldn't bank on them remaining passive indefinitely.
Also by 1939 it became clear that the German-USSR alliance wouldn't be a long thing and that their interests and ambitions in eastern Europe clashed too much. Waiting might have made Germany stronger but the USSR even more.

I just want to do british empire things and captain a comfy sailing ship and btfo french people and make mad profit. or spanish empire things and btfo mexicans. is it so much to ask?

The real reason it blew up was bad ammo storing protocols.

Jutland was a disaster because a few fuckwit admirals decided to maximise rate of fire by storing explosives all the way between the ammunition store and the guns and keeping all doors open.

Essentially a hit anywhere between the turret and the magazine detonated the whole thing. There was nothing wrong with the design of the ships, they were captained by idiots.

Good

you can sort of do that in sunless sea
it's fairly light on the naval tactics though
