Is the video quality lower than normal for anyone else? Getting a lot of visual noise, like watching a super-compressed 480p version.

Kurt Akemann

The minisub's name is " Losharik" and she's named after a horse made out of spheres in a children's story.

Daniel Black

Interesting about the quietness of the Delta IV. Is it quieter than Russian SSNs? For example, the Akula-class?

Darmach

Looks live very low bitrate during encoding - a lot of encoding artifacts for me, despite watching in 1080

Whitzwolf

Is the Typhoon just more expensive than Delta 4? I always thought the Typhoon was more quiet and capable than the Delta 4.

Thanks again Jive, great info as usual. That missile deck would be great to cannonball off of if you could clear the hull

Adam Morgan

Yes, that exactly. I couldn't think of the term but yes, encoding artifacts.

Aaron Amick

Delta IV is much quieter than the Typhoon. Typhoon's hydraulic system was large with hundreds of gallons of fluid in kilometers long piping was just too noisey.

Aaron Amick

The video quality is limited until December. I don't have the bandwidth to upload UHD videos until then. My internet is slow and drops every few minutes. I am limited to file sizes that I can load before the internet dops.

Brian Graham

That's a great question, I hadn't thought about that. Hopefully Aaron will answer if he can.

Whitzwolf

Thanks for clearing that up! Makes sense as they have kept many Delta IV still in service :)

Seahour

Great insight! Thank you for sharing!

Seahour

I think. I also would need someone to clarify.

Matus (Saturnax)

Yep, that's correct. In Russian it was KPSS - Коммунистическая партия Советского Союза.

31:00 sounds like the 1st officer got a rapid promotion. 🤨

Is the video file or upload different to the Delta III video ? I can’t tilt this one to fill the screen of my phone, but I could with the Delta III video.

Lucid Nonsense

That's just Vimeo being terrible. We really ought to get Aaron onto floatplane...

Yes please! The Patreon Vimeo interface suuucks (the content rules though)

Seahour

Awesome! I am actually not really surprised its their quietest nuke boat. I've heard that our Ohio class boats are our quietest boats, with the Los Angeles not far behind it. I am not sure how that plays out with the newer classes. Though I've heard (I don't remember where) the Seawolf was not quiet when it first came out/had a bunch of initial problems, though I can't find anything about that. The delta series is outstanding Aaron! Thank you for your effort on these! They are super quality content!

Seahour

He said in the brief. I think... Yeah, 35 min 55 sec mark. He mentions Victor 1, 3, Akula, and how the Delta IV is quietest.

Thrall

I don't see anything wrong with the interface, except for the tilting issue. I also think that it is unrelated to Patreon. Something I noticed: when I tap the Delta III Video I stay on the Patreon App and the tilting works, when I tap the Delta IV Video I end up on Vimeo in the browser and I cannot tilt the video. Probably something in the way Aaron put the vid on here.

The odds of two submarines colliding in open waters seems so astronomical and yet I keep reading about sub collision events. Is there an explanation of why these accidents occur? Tailgating?

Seahour

Exactly. Us spying on them, trailing them around trying to record their sounds and take underwater pictures of there screw and hull. And them trying to do the same to us. Imagine this: only two cars in a whole city, pretty hard for them to hit each other right? Now imagine those two cars are interested in each other, or are trying to defend their parking garage from the other car getting close and taking pictures of it. Suddenly there will be a lot more interaction and risk for collision between the cars than if they were just minding their own business going from point a to b. Ramp up the likely hood even more if they are trying to follow each other around and take pictures of each other, and you try to shake them off cause you don't like them behind you. Now imagine you can't see cause your under water in a steel tube, and they are trying not to be seen and you are trying not to be seen as well, but your still trying to do your mission of following, taking pictures of everything, etc, etc, and so are they. Suddenly there is a very high risk of collisions.

Some ports can have very narrow lanes for boats of this tonnage. Submarines have pretty poor visibility and are very hard to see in inclement weather or at all.
