Wargaming has never been subtle in its advertising and promotions. It also prides itself in the historical accuracy of its vehicles in its various games. Today, one of its flagship (pun totally intended) games World of Warships launched a music video to celebrate one of its battleship models: The Bismarck.
For those not familiar with this ship, the Bismarck was a German ship intended to conduct raids along the Atlantic coast of Europe and the British Isles. It was one of the biggest ships the German navy had ever built. Perhaps because of its size, because of its power, or both, the Bismarck was seen as a major threat to the British navy, and the German battleship was literally chased around the Atlantic ocean. It made exactly one offensive operation because on May 27th, 1941, the Bismarck was sunk off the coast of France, just eight days after its first launch.
The music video featuring Swedish metal band Sabaton shows the group taking a boat out into the Atlantic to the spot where the Bismarck sank. Of course, the band plays a wildly over-the-top song filled with pride and machismo as it re-lives the Last Battle of the Bismarck. World of Warships provided the ship models used in the video and retained as much historical accuracy as possible, “right up to the timing of each salvo flying over the band’s heads,” according to the press release.
You can see the watch the whole video below, then ask yourself, “Does this make you want to download the Bismarck in World of Warships?”
