A three deck battleship would be the best with 68 guns, but they will have to limit the reloading time according to the scale... I think it's 1:100, so 5 minutes of real reloading make 300sec:100= 3 seconds for a round...

Honestly sounds way cooler, until the rc tech improves for battleships, galleon duels sound pretty sick.

@@needtau4138 sorry, for English learners "pretty sick" needs interpretation:) it's Really beautiful or Very bad?

@@needtau4138 I think those three deck battleships must have in the rules that "the decks are obliatory made of pieces, so when hit the parts spread around one foot..." To make the direct hits more spectacular...:) Perhaps.

@@needtau4138 I wish we had such a community to enjoy the naval battles, and though we have scale model clubs (at least one is definitely open), but they enjoy modelling and with the amount of work they spend I think the idea to fire miniature guns to sink the models will find little enjoyment, I suppose one will have to escape before finishing the speech...:)

And obviously everyone sucks at it.

Thing is, real ships are dozens of times faster than these! It's just they're so big they move slower relative to their size. An elephant looks slow until it's chasing a car!

I think it's only 7 kmh meanwhile big ship could reach 40 kmh

I think he's referring to the scale of the speed vs the size of the boats and engagement area, and range of the weapons.

Imagine if they made real ships that can go faster than 50 km/h while still having an impressive armament

@Ruska Modified playmobil motors. Look like torpedoes to begin with!

That would literally be a 1000 dollar toy if it was in stores. But I guess they could sell parts for them like new hulls ammunition and other compents inside

@@hansvonmannschaft9062 find a way to make them carry an M80 aswell

@@thatsclassified1 Oh, ha ha ha, that humor. Now, if we consider they built everything from scratch, following rules regarding the materials, making every single sensitive component waterproof, and we're talking about sizeable models with revolving turrets, that fire and reload on their own, yeah, it'd be so crazy to grab a playmobil accesory designed some 50 years ago, already watertight, that runs on 1 AA battery, comes with a rudder, looks like a torpedo, and simply find a way to have it fall in the water and hit something. I'm pretty sure 20 years ago, if someone heard about this hobby as it is, would've laughed even harder about how impossible it'd be. And here they are. Well that's always been the story anyway, hasn't it? Across the Atlantic? - That's crazy. Get rid of horses to get one of those wheeled contraptions? Not gonna happen. Etc.

All the ships have a float, attached by a wire to the ship, so that it can easily be retrieved if (when) it sinks. Usually the float is a part of the superstructure made of foam that just comes loose and floats. All the electronics are sealed in watertight boxes so they (usually) survive the sinking, too. It'd be a really expensive hobby if you'd have to build a new ship every time you sank. It would be realistic though 😋 This sure looks like fun. I wonder if there are clubs doing this in the Netherlands, where I live.

We are territorial beasties. A few hairs shy of chimpanzees. And they can be hard core violent.

Simply put, humanity was forged in violence. Humans that lose all cognitive function and are forced back to basic primal instincts are the most violent creatures in existence. Ever see those videogames that have "zombies" that are just infected people? That is an example of what humans would be like if not for our advanced social structures. Mindless killing and eating machines.

Competition is a part of natural evolution.

@@lucasohrt1294 We all make mistakes in the heat of passion jimbo. Besides I think you're on to something with the Florida class bb smokestacks

Wow, that's some great ship identification there. You're right, there's a Nassau, a Deutschland class, and an Alsace. That's the Frenchie with the three quads you weren't sure about. There was also a Montana class that I helped build, and in other battles you'll find an Iowa, South Dakota, King George V, Gascoigne, Rodney, and a variety of convoy ships from all sides.

I think the only reason why he didn't was so that he could puncture a hole in the ship that's under the water

@@ashtonbyrne4316 that’s ridiculous. The idea that this thing could shoot anything through water is absurd. The guns need pitching upwards.

calm down

Club rules (and safety common sense) prohibit the cannons from elevating above horizontal. As Ashton said, the goal is to punch holes below the waterline to cause flooding and sink the opponent, so there is good reason to get close and aim down.

What you guys build that had you like "this is awesome" or what did you see that got the same reaction?

@@badcornflakes6374 I had a Bismarck, a guy made a crazy detailed Iowa Class (called it USS Kentucky) that ran off a 486 processor, and WiFi back to a laptop to run it. This was in like, 2001. We also had a beautifully detailed (and insanely huge) Queen Mary, and Queen Elizabeth that would visit the club as a pair now and then. One person built a sub that fired torpedos (all under water!), but they were an empty .22 casing with a ball bearing super glued to the front and the rules committee wasn't "impressed" lol.

Yeah, let's say it's "a little over scale speed" 😉

Oh mk

Your english is pretty good!

thanks but i can only speak german 😅

You don't sink ships by letting the air out, you sink ships by letting water in. You need to put holes below the waterline, so you aim down at close range.

@@kotori87gaming89 Oh man i dont know why i didnt think of that haha, i forgot real ships probably are taking shots at greater distances allowing rounds to sort of drop down towards the waterline, i think, thanks alot for the info

@@kotori87gaming89 don't you have a torpedo alternative?

@@dwy1171 also things kind of blow up and start on fire when they get hit by 16 inch guns

@@dwy1171 In reality, in artillery naval battles you basically hole the ship from above and blow up the shell inside the ship causing fires to break out, crewmen to die, and incapacitation of ship functions. Though on a scale this small I doubt you could plant an explosive charge in the projectiles to do that :p

Aren't you supposed to broadside? It's against the rules to angle?

@@ramiel7666 well I don't know the rules of this game. But showing broadside is the easiest way to get damage. Full broadside is a flat surface that can be penetrate even by smaller guns. Real BBs never do that. Iowa-class for example had a specific shape of her forward bow to allow her to deflect incoming shells.

@@danielefabbro822 I don't the rules of the game either, but just as a historical note, battleships showing each other 'broadside' was always the way they were expected to fight. In fact, the idea of 'crossing the T' (a tactic used through the dreadnought era and beyond) involves showing your full broadside to the bow or stern of your enemy, to reduce their ability to shoot back. Fighting in a battle line (as all battleships who weren't opperating alone were expected to) also makes it hard to 'angle', while getting all the ships in your line able to fire on the enemy. The Iowa class, as a note, was designed to have an 'immunity zone' where she could take fire from another 16" gun armed ship directly to her main belt/deck armour, so she could bombard a comparable target with near impunity (as long as the enemy hit her armour)!

@@oakseya5207 that was a tactic used with wooden ships. 🤭 It doesn't apply to modern ships.

@@danielefabbro822 If you look at almost every single battle including multiple battleships from the 1880s through until the 1940s, you will see that the concept held true, and wasn't just for 'wooden ships'. In fact, modern ships almost always show full broadside, because it allows them to get all their anti-ship and CIWS in a position to fire.

Just train little squirrels to load and fire... 😆 Damnit Steve, you knocked out my crew.

Dumb.

Sounds dumb as hell and too expensive

Yeah and die drowned

@@lemonhead1442 ironic coming from a guy called lemon head lmfao

They’re low so that they can hit the enemy below the water line so they sink

But wouldn’t a shot be more likely of puncturing if it has to travel through an inch of water to hit the hull, vs 3 inches of water

2.5cm vs 7.5cm to clarify

@@taylorgrasman8174 That's the trick, isn't it. Sometimes I have time to adjust, other times I have to take whatever I can get.

If my ship is sunk, I have to go out after the sortie is over to recover it. Then I patch up the holes so it can float again, and I'm ready for the next sortie.

@@kotori87gaming89 so the internals don’t get damaged by the water? or do you still have to replace the electronic parts?

@@shminkydinky321 All the electronics are sealed against water damage. I'm sure that that sometimes fails, after that happening once or twice I'm sure the owner gets really good at sealing 😉

There are clubs all across the US. This particular group is in California but there's been a club within a few hours drive everywhere I've lived.

I've never seen this anywhere at any time in the US and I've spent my entire life here, so I feel like it's a relatively niche hobby. That said this is a big place with a lot of people in it so I'm certain it can be found if you ask around and do a little research on it

@@kotori87gaming89 how do I find these kind of clubs? Is there a website for it?

@@001sharpshot Why yes there is! UKposts generally doesn't like directly posting links (except for spambots, apparently) but if you do a quick google search for "RC Warship Combat" and I guarantee you'll find it.

To build from scratch? Probably a couple hundred if you know what you are doing and make everything watertight on the first run.

Metal BB's. The hulls are fiberglass except for the broadsides which have windows blocked by very thin wood.
