If Russia would invade Turkey. Greece will help Turkey. (so will the rest of all the NATO members). a attack on one NATO member is a attack on all the members. this would mean all the members would have to take up arms agents the aggressor. It won't likely ever happen. for Russia the cost are way way way to high.

@VraelFreorhe but the war it self is still the same as in there is a war going on in multiple locations. the ship has to go to the other location so it won't be able to protect it's home. that is something that with in the video is considered. if the USA would not be involved in the war at all. that would change the game a bit. still the fact that closer by the British oversees were at hand would have been a problem.

@VraelFreorhe if the Yamato would come in to the picture when the Bismarck was already unable to sail on it's own power. so the German crew on board will mostly be ether stressed or at least be very on edge. to then get help a entirely foreign non German speaking vessel. will most likely be a negative affect. in the fog of war big chance that the Germans will see the Yamato just as a other threat. keep in mind they don't really have a way to communicate with the other as the Japanese would not have had a German speaking person and the Germans would not have had a Japanese speaking sailor on board. if they could even communicate at all. the British on the other side have had the experience to have done battle against both navies. that could help the British more. plus they would still have the home advantage that the Bismarck was laying crippled just out side of mainland UK. the UK could use there air support to keep the battle in there favour.

@VraelFreorhe ''the assumption that the two ships would not be able to communicate or even recognize what nation the other belongs is not correct I believe. " with your first command you where talking about a rescue mission. Sure in a calm situation communicating might be not a real problem. But in the heat of battle people tend to become less able to do stuff that is not pure instinctive. the fog off war is a real problem even people of the own would sometimes fire up on there own do to mistake. yes they are allied but that is only the top. on board are mostly just your average crew. they will likely have never seen the other navy in person. (even the senior officers may with luck only heard of the other). see the battle from the perspective from being on board not at a top down point of view. Doing battle is a very scary thing to do. even if you are very well trained people have a aversion to dying.it's that part that will make it very hard to work to gather unless you are so well trained to gather that you personally know the others on the other ship.
