Wow that transparent water really is nice. Gives the surface a very glassy look.

What the Heck is that orange balloon-stuff in front of him at about :45?

I've gotten to his ranting about how slowly the boat dives. "Verdamt! Verdamt!":rotfl:

Heh, heh, what a landlubber indeed. I'd like some subtitles, though, as I can only understand about 10% of what he says.

He was having trouble with the depth gauge... wasn't reacting at first... the dive sound appeared about 3 or 4 times. I kept thinking, let me do it goddammit! But he said it was a Beta bug.

Some decent footage though.

He'll come back in a minute to demonstrate a harbour raid against a BB.

Not just a simple BB, but the mighty Yamato.

That was actually rather humorous watching those destroyers (damn, those were some fast sobs) bear down on him while his boat lazily sneaks below the water.

Yes, but compared to the escorts in SH3 GWX the Japanese were complete noobs.

:rotfl:Well we don't know yet... he hit pause and he's coming back to it later.

But in his defence, with auto targetting, you expect to hit what you see.

Barkhorn.

I didn't see that the torpedoes hat wakes, so he probably uses electric eels which are really slow.:hmm:

Training warheads:p.

By the way, why was that other guy wearing a penguin suit? And do they really not have German counterparts for "Tool", "of", "the", and "day"? Kinda goes against what I learned in about 5 years of German classes.

I was wondering the same thing about the penguin suit. And was the other guy supposed to be dressed up like a sea captain with that hat and jacket? Maybe he was doing it in honor of SH4.
