✩ABOUT THIS VIDEO✩
In this video we investigate how the Japanese modified torpedoes so that they would work in the shallow waters of Pearl Harbour.

    I understand that bills have to be paid so I'm not mad. All I'll say as someone who played WoWS from 2015 until 2022 is, the game in its current state is more sad and depressing than it has ever been. Don't waste your time on it.
  • @BrandonF
    Lot of weirdly negative comments here. I really enjoyed this video, just as I enjoy the non-military ones. Thank you for it and all the hard work you clearly put into these videos! Those animations don't look like they happen quickly!
  • @SaruyamaPL
    Didn't realize before how that works, very informative!
  • @LordPecka
    Bloody hell, that's mechanical PID Loop!
  • @TJH1
    Some mention of the lessons the Japanese took from the British raid on Taranto may have been educational to viewers.
  • @Anthus.
    Japan had the best torpedo design in the world during WWII. The U.S. had the worst torpedo design in the world during the first year and a half or so of WWII. It took until mid 1943 for the U.S. Navy to finally have a reliable torpedo. The new U.S. torpedo was still not as good as Japan's, but it worked.
  • It was the British sinking the Italian ships at Taranto that gave The IJN the idea
  • I wonder why there are so many people in here butt hurt about either the Taranto raid(which has been mentioned in these very comments to be a different solution to what the Japanese came up with)or the fact the video has a sponsor(yes,from a bad game),like they've never seen a sponsor in a video before(like the many other bad games/products out there).
  • Fantastic video, I'm glad you're covering interesting naval topics like this as well as your usual naval content! So fascinating!
  • Beautifully done sponsorship, using it to help illustrate the point.
  • @Tjita1
    Mechanical PID regulator. Cool!
  • @ColtonRMagby
    The Japanese engineered a solution that works, and I love it. If America had tested these solutions, they would've had torpedo nets or something similar in place to stop the torpedoes short of their targets.
  • @mimodesu7689
    I never knew about this i thought it was just normal torps.
  • @ConnorYounkin
    I'd like to see a video about why the American torpedoes at the battle of Midway were all duds.
  • @RobSchofield
    Excellent! What you describe with the vane control system is related to a technique called PID (acronym) to reduce over-compensation. Worth looking up on Wikipedia or some such.
  • Man one of your best videos, even the ad giving more context, great video!
  • @FAMUCHOLLY
    Excellent analysis and video! Thanks for educating me!
  • Thanks for your videos. I have very eclectic interests and encountered your channel about a month ago. Before then, I would have described myself and being interested in nearly everything except plants and boats. Now I'm interested in boats too.
