Hearted Youtube comments on Drachinifel (@Drachinifel) channel.

  1. If the Japanese had captured the Kamchatka, it’d have been an overwhelming Russian victory.

  2. Who doesn't know it? You want to make yourself a sandwich, you open the fridge and BAM theres like 10 - 15 japanese torpedo boats stuck in the butter. So you shoot several hundred rounds into the fridge just to see that it's actually an old banana

  3. Rozhestvensky might the most honorable military man I've ever heard of. Dragging a fleet of ragtag ships across the world, facing every kind of frustration imaginable and baffling displays of incompetence from almost every ship in the fleet, and losing horribly in a battle that dictated the outcome of the war... And he STILL took all the responsibility, in spite of probably hating most of the officers he was safeguarding. I salute you.

  4. I'm so glad you stopped using the robot voice. Your natural voice is so pleasant to listen to.
    3400
  5. When the idiom “what goes around comes around” applies quite literally to your nations torpedos, there’s a problem
    3300
  6. "Oh shit sir, the torpedo is coming back around!" "Don't worry, those things never work." Clunk "See."

  7. Everyone who's disappointed we didn't get the 84-hour version of this video raise their hand. XD

  8. "dumping pure oxygen and kerosene into a cylinder would make the torpedo travel really fast, but instantaneously and in all directions at once disassembling itself and any nearby people with considerrable enthusiasm" this is why I love Drach

  9. I propose a diving expedition to the Russian flagship. The objective is to recover the admiral's case of glasses, and see how many of the 50 were left at the time of sinking.

  10. Me: Why is this ship being so disagreeable? Ship: I think I’d prefer to be a submarine today
    3000
  11. The Kamchatka... Very important question, did the Kamchatka signal the spotting of the actual torpedo boats?
    2900
  12. Gets hit by a shell from a shore battery, thinks it’s a rather nice shell and decides “I think I’ll keep this”.
    2900
  13. Forget all of Admiral Lee’s shooting skills and medals, there’s no higher courage than doing things behind Admiral Kings back
    2900
  14. I was serving on a nuclear sub when a dummy torpedo that we fired turned around and hit us, bouncing off of our hull, only to return and hit us again... several times! Trust me, that experience does get one to do a bit of thinking.
    2900
  15. My suggestion is to paint a red stripe on it to make it go faster.
    2900
  16. PETITION: Kamchatka to get its own episode of infamy 😈
    2800
  17. Yeah I think charging bismarck in a destroyer whilst flashing at it I AM A POLE is a bit crazy....
    2700
  18. Note to self: If I ever discover/use time travel, I need to give Rozhestvensky a hug and tell him he did good.
    2600
  19. "After 17 bombs and 19 torpedoes, at least some of which were probably unnecessary..." - Said no American. Ever.
    2600
  20. For those who are curious, the Japanese Pilot's name is Warrant Officer Sakio Komatsu.  A fantastic display of bravery.
    2600
  21. Drachinfel, you’ve got it wrong about the flyover states. They’re the places with deep mechanical skill. When you grow up on a farm, you have to learn how maintain and repair all of your family’s equipment. In the US the stereotype is that people from cities don’t understand how machines work.
    2600
  22. "History is full of other examples of naval stupidity." Meanwhile... "Do you see torpedo boats?"
    2500
  23. Thunderchild's armour composition: 25% Harvey armour 75% Pure sheer hatred and anger
    2500
  24. Russia: Sends fleet across the world despite having no practical experience: sours relations to the point of cries for war with nearby nations, looses men to friendly fire during battles with Fishing Trawlers. US: Sends a Fleet across the world despite having no practical experience. Improves relations with almost everyone they meet including major rivals, one of their own falls overboard in a storm and the sea itself rescues him. Some navies have ALL the luck.
    2500
  25. So all these men died just because someone want to look good in front of their boss
    2500
  26. My gf said "I don't want to watch some war documentary. Find me a cat video." Hehehehehehe Loophole found. Thank you Drachinifel
    2400
  27. "The Australians had the E.M.U. defense system" oh dear God. I see why Japan never dared to set foot there
    2400
  28. “One pilot vanished off with a patrol of troops and comes back with a new wing” Me: “I’m sorry, he did what now?”
    2300
  29. Considering Mogami had hit Imperial Japanese ARMY transports. Does it really count as friendly fire?
    2300
  30. Royal Navy: does something stupid Scheer: "This must be part of their plan! How can I match the wits of such a cunning opponent and beat them at their own game of 4-dimensional chess?"
    2300
  31. While Mogami killed several Japanese ships, most of those were army transports, so I'm not entirely certain they can be classified as "friendly".
    2300
  32. US Navy carriers: Hey, remember what the Japanese did on Pearl Harbor? Let's do the same. But against one ship.
    2300
  33. 2018 Drach: "These videos might start going slightly longer than 5 minutes." 2020 Drach: "Hold my beer"
    2200
  34. All hail the battle-cheese!
    2200
  35. "Oh my god, the ship is on fire." - Ship Chieftain
    2200
  36. Well these tubes have serious amounts of history written about them, you'll have to just rifle through it.
    2200
  37. Ooh! Ooh! "The Royal Navy's last civilian designed ship." Aside from the Type 21 Amazon Class Frigates, designed and built by Vosper Thorneycroft. Sunk by the Argentine Air Force.
    2100
  38. No binoculars were harmed by any Admiral during the voyage of this fleet...
    2100
  39. To be fair, all ships also have a submerged displacement, but if you're using it something probably went wrong somewhere along the line.
    2100
  40. The Judges would have also accepted 'The Appropriately sized for Alaska Cruisers' as a video title.
    2100
  41. Am I the only one who thinks they look very steam punk?
    2000
  42. "You are not physically qualified because of myopia" Admiral Lee: I'll pretend I didn't see that
    2000
  43. Yamato: I’m the best ship in world war 2 USS Johnston: unfortunately for you history will not see it that way
    2000
  44. "Do you see that bunker on that shore?" "Yes sir" "I don't want to." "Yes. Sir."
    2000
  45. Polish Navy be like: "These are my warships Typhoon, Hurricane, and Dave."

  46. My Grandpa served on on this ship through the entirety of the war. He was one of the radarmen. He passed away last year. I got to visit the ship with him twice.
    1900
  47. When talking about the Yamato as the largest battleship, you forgot to mention that the USS Samuel B. Roberts was the smallest battleship around :P
    1900
  48. Basically everyone to Norway: Congratulations, you are being rescued. Please do not resist.
    1900
  49. 30:24 "Aboard HMS New Zealand, Captain John Greene, also known as 'Jimmie', solemnly orders the Maori warrior skirt and green pendant, be brought to the bridge, where he puts them on. Thus enabling the supernatural protection that these items bestow upon his ship." THIS. This is why I am here.

  50. And through all this, Yukikaze survives.
