Battle of the Santa Cruz Islands 2/3 (US Navy vs Japanese Navy)

[WhatTheLolKindaGame]

What'd they use to animate this?

[truthquest]

6 o'clock high, bandits.

US carrier, 18 knots.

She's on fire.

Let her sink.

No joy, we're going to collide.

[truthquest]

US fleet, 10 o'clock. 1 carrier, 1 heavy cruiser, many others. Direction 300, speed 24 knots. Prepare for assault formation. They're headed for Hornet. Go up to 6000 meters, cover Hornet. Copy that. "Task force 17 flagship Hornet" Prepare to engage. Direction 340, range 17 miles. This is the 2nd company, covering from the east. All units, attack. Entrerprise's fighters have arrived the scene. Shit, she's been damaged already. 3 o'clock low, torpedo bombers. Got it.

[truthquest]

The 1st wave from the task force made it to where the US fleet was expected to be and found them down below.

However, there were enemy fighters to guard the fleet, waiting for them.

Enterprise to fleet guards.

We got many enemies incoming, head for 11 o'clock to this ship.

Your location invisible.

Let us know the direction of enemies instead.

Head for the direction of Enterprise's bow.

You're out of sight, I told ya.

Toward the west.

JAPAN IS HERO ASEAN

[xc7890]

勇敢的軍人

[peyo001]

Must have been an all round terrifying experience; for the guys in the planes and for the guys on the ships!

[TylerAssady]

Americans suck and jews suck. Japan is now under american puppet shit. Screw the amerikkaner scums.

[ManilaJohn01]

The ship is clearly a Yorktown class, which also had a large stack. It wasn't as large as that on the Lexingtons, but was big enough. If still in doubt, examine the bow. Hornet was a Yorktown class, which had an open bow. The Lexingtons had an enclosed bow- the forerunner of the hurricane bow seen on modified Essex class CVs.

[Sporkmater]

Ok I get it, the creator of this movie showed the USS Hornet as a Lexington class carrier rather then as a Yorktown class carrier. The large distinct smoke stack is a signature of the Lexington class carrier at 5:42.

[no1kiyoko]

This is a intense fight of heavy weight boxers. We lost but did our best. This is worthy of a praise. Even now Japan is a only county that sank us carriers.

[Sporkmater]

@no1kiyoko Well Germany never really had a chance to do so since all the US Carriers were in the Pacific. Also I am confused is that the there were only two of the Lexington class carriers. The only one lost was in May 1942 the other, the Saratoga survived the war. I wonder if they mean the battle of the Coral Sea that was before Midway.

[TwoTwoZulu]

@no1kiyoko Very well true. Although Japan lost WWII, they fought long and hard for there country; a devotion that not many Americans or Germans had. I might be American, but I truly agree that Japanese soldiers were some of the best soldiers ever.

[askjiir]

Very, very well made. Gets top grade.

[sarasein]

I love this video. I dont like HISTORY CHANNEL made in USA, propaganda 100%. US win but they are not by heroes.

[justiciaideal46]

Excelent and really historial accurate to the last detail. We can dream of a IL-2 Pacific Fighters like that.

[SHRLEYTRUDE]

なんだかすごくドキドキした。

でもこのドキドキが戦争に対する恐怖なのか、ただの航空機と船艦­好きだからなのかわからない。

[ChicaWolverina]

"It's a hot day today!"

[MrLordfarinhas]

¡joder!

[kannsuuzi]

子どもの頃、「ミッドウェイ」や「トラ・トラ・トラ」を観た時の­興奮が蘇りました。

ドーントレス、九七艦攻、九九艦爆、・・・ああ、すべてが懐かし­くて無言になる。

飛行機と艦船好きだった父親は、故郷で元気かなあ。最近会ってな­いなあ。

[360chicharito]

[ThePanzer59]

c est vraiment bien fait

[rhall4th]

This is awesome!

I only wish it were in English.

[zeehaider611]

Awesome ! spechless !

[zeehaider611]

wow !!!!

[ahmed123162]

wow! im very impressed! this a way more better than watching a movie>>>

[PeriOriginal21]

if it was in greek or even english, it would be bettter

[wotan58]

Play Ryuichi Sakamotos "Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence" when you look at this one, and turn the combat sound off ...gives it a new nice dimension :)

[ManilaJohn01]

Both the 40mm gun and the VT (proximity) fuse were first used in this battle.

[mpbunch]

Great! 40mm bofors that year? Not sure if its totally accurate but still great!

[exeklopman]

i'm speechless at the quality of this video. Makes me want to play "Battlestations Pacific" again

[weetle2]

i want you to bear my children.

[no1kiyoko]

Each our fathers did their best for their countries. I respect each men.

[haywardsf3]

USS Hornet vs Aichi D3A dive bombers and Nakajima B5N torpedo bombers.

[TMosaka]

I'm very impressed with this CG. Probably the best in my life.

[TXRog]

Beautiful and very well done.

What sim was used to create this?

Thansk for sharing.

[justiciaideal46]

Very well done and exactly historical accurate to the last detail

[herbieham]

with out a doubt THE best historical re creation of a battle on the net

This should be shown to all the kids of today.

If only some of the other battles - Midway, Leyte gulf, coral sea, and even savo island were done like this.

[123ahren]

Aircraft carrier bullied HAHAHA

[rawnukles]

The USN had radio proximity fuses in their AAA for this battle for the first time. A huge advantage that is rarely mentioned. I wonder if they mention it in the narration.

[no1kiyoko]

US Navy vs Japanese Navy.

This is a intense fight of the heavyweight class boxers.

[wotan58]

Superb video!!!

[bigbaba1111]

fantastic work!

[RedBravo65]

Beautifully done. Just superb!

[boomboombugsh]

It'll be better if there is an english caption below

[boomboombugsh]

The Rendering and details are more accurate than Dogfight and 360

Thumbs up!

[CornZ999]

ich hasse die Japse!!!!!

[ManilaJohn01]

Sivuch7- DON'T BE SORRY. This by far the most historically accurate and graphically detailed video I've ever seen. And it covers a period that is too little appreciated in the States. These three parts are 1st Class work, and the accuracy "brings to life" the events of Santa Cruz . I understand that this is a documentary from Japan. Is there any chance that you can post more videos such as these? ANY that you can provide would be greatly appreciated!

[Master666555]

When you stop at 6:15, the picture you get, is exactly the same like the original picture, which was taken in the october 1942
