@XxxSakura101 you are no best friends with them, especielly since you stripped them from their army. you CANT fight them. thats what are you there for amerikans. am i right? you ALWAYS want be superhumans
@dividednation44 Odd, the Japanese embassy in Washington put out a statistic last year alongside Gallup and Jpoll. With the exception of 5% differences depending on the highest and lowest, they said 92% of Americans had a favorable opinion of Japan, and 85% of Japanese had a favorable opinion of the US. The mutual relationship is acually one of the strongest bilateral opinions between any two countries in the world.
@dividednation44 As for the military aspects, McAurthor withdrew the clause of no army in 1950 as part of the WW2 peace treaty and had Japan raise 75,000 men so allied occupation troops could be redeployed to Korea to fight the Northern and Chinese invasion of South Korea. Right now, Japan ranks 7th worldwide in military spending with a force of 340,000 men.
@dividednation44 I am a avid follower of Japanese politics, and very few have called on the JSDF being expanded, although that is unrelated to the move to appeal article 9 which is roughly 35% for and 40% against, up significantly since 2000.
Or are you suggesting a nation retain it's military capability a day after fighting a world war? Doing so would just be stupid, even 5 years is cutting it very short- although the circumstances had been extreme and hence understandable.
@dividednation44 Actually it was agreed upon by the entire Allied group of nations, and was retracted 5 years later during the official peace terms of TSF. Germany had a similar obligation terms to the Allied and Soviet players in the war, this was called the Potsdam Agreement.
Article 9, was brought upon Japan by their own will as par the Japanese diet. The peace terms had nothing to do with it's forming, signing, or implementation.
@dividednation44 Unless you are foolish enough to belive that 6 million Japanese soldiers still being armed and willing to fight to the death would do no harm to the process of peace. Do you understand how close Japan came to being cooped by a new government when the emperor announced the surrender?
@dividednation44 For example, one of the LPJ's main talking points is maintaining "a close relationship with the United states" Go look on their page. Even the DPJ has many many appointees that are described as "US friendly"
@dividednation44 Are you seriously suggesting wiki to be a credible source of information? Why not do independent research, or learn about the events and people before claiming to know somthing about the war? The last clause of the peace treaty ended in 1969 when the Okinawa island chain and Sengoku reverted from US trusteeship back to Japanese administration. The ban on military activity ended in 1950/51. Seriously, stop you are making yourself out to look the fool.
@dividednation44 You say all those mean things and you say i'm the troll? You have said nothing but falsehoods with no backup, and now you are name calling. This is typical troll behavior, i've seen it plenty.
@thephantom2man All a matter of opinion, although Pacific has fundamentally better gameplay, some prefer Midway for its... charm, I suppose? If you're asking if Midway is worth a buy, then the answer is yes.
They should have dropped crap on any ship named after Yamamoto. He planned the unprovoked murder of Americans at Pearl Harbor without even a declaration of war. He was a pile of crap as a human being.
i think its called surprised attack to get as many battleship sunk, the IJN navy knew they cant compete with the American Navy so why sink them while there not moving and less expected.. Most army do a surprise attack as a way to declare war. It is much decisive to do so..
Yamamoto was a military genius, and was only following orders to cripple the American battlefleet in the pacific, which he did. While the actions of the Japanese government where dispicable, you cannot blame one man.
@davidcraig99 he did was he was ordered to do! the military cabinet ordered yamamoto to make a plan for an expansion into the pacific, yamamoto did what he was ordered to do by doing what most military planners would do, attack the one place that would otherwise serve as a major staging point of the enemy, what yamamoto did was right military wise, so calling him a pile of crap is wrong..and you know it!
dude... a bb vs bb engagement would be fatle 4 us but if it was an iowa or if they made a montana class bb they still would attack with planes 1st more lives would be lost 2 ships are more expencive then planes.. so when ships sink its more of a loss..
The US weren't dumb enough to give the Japanese the BB on BB naval battle they so desired, The Carrier strike force was the pinnacle of naval combat at the time and the US were quick to utlilise this whilst the IJN were still clinging to their archaic plans of combat.
What hell is wrong with you?! Cowardly tactics!!!!!!! You sir need to do some research. 1)The US would have probably lost the battle with BB to BB, 2) You obviously don't know how much more successful airplanes proved to be (which is unfortunate because, like admiral Kurita, I long for BB to BB engagements), and 3) Air crews have got some balls. Yamato was covered in flak and AA at the time. It was a curtain of lead in the real life attack.
I'm sorry to say, but that really isn't true. You must have misunderstood. Because the Yamato had some of the best AA placments in WWII. Only reason it was sank by planes, is because they basicly filled the sky. Anyone know the exact number of planes that attacked it? Well into the hundreds.
Yeah, the US Navy's carrier airwing owned the sky over the Pacific. If I recall correctly, about 400 planes swarmed the Yamato and Yahagi. Yamato took 5 bomb hits and a nearly a dozen torpedo hits, while Yahagi was completely blown from the water by the punishment she took.
It was attacked by 380 planes and the ship took 10 torpedo hits and 7 bomb hits, it then capsized, the magazines exploded and then sunk, 2,700 people were lost.
I've read that it was 13 torpedos and 12 direct 1000lb bomb hits, plus scores of near misses which caused huge underwater shock waves.
Musashi took 22 torpedos and 19 direct bomb hits and she sunk 5 hours later because the U.S. carrier planes had spread the torpedo hits out evenly to both sides of the ship.
sort of, but I recalled hearing/reading the Yamoto was rushed out for production, so it wasn't fitted with its entire array of AA platforms, and most of those it did have had poor firing arcs or ineffective ranges.
Yamato had the best AA Placements but not the best AA guns. If they had the quadruple 40mm Bofors that the U.S. had then they could have kicked some more planes out. The type90 triple 25mm gun was had a horrible fire rate and needed the planes to get closer for range.
Well actually the Battleship Yamato as seen in the game is the early war variant with lighter AA emplacements. When she was destroyed she was covered with AA guns.
south dakotas AA range, BECAUSE THEY ALL MOUNTED HEAVY AA ARMAMENTS, be happy with it the way it is, the ships AA battires in game are as powerful as they were in real life except for the american carriers
how many refits most ships went through in this war, several per ship in most cases, look at the IJN kongo, it went into drydock for refits 3 TIMES, enterprise recieved 4 refits in 42 and 43, adding 12s of 40mm bofors guns to it, they trade number of AA guns for more realism in defense against aircraft, the Aa guns are too accurate as it is, if you put the real number of Aa guns on and didnt change the accuracy, no plane with survive 3 secs within range of a iowas, yamatos, north carolinas, or
you know what I hate about this game?? I hate the fact that the Yamato in this game are presnted in its 1941 configeration, and the only mission you can play as yamato is this mission, in 1945, and in 1945 its secondary 6.9" guns were replaced by 24 5" AA guns and 150 25mm AA guns...but I guess it would have been to powerfull in the game with all those guns...
becourse the mission takes place in 1945!!! jeez, and btw, not a single mission in BSM feature the Yamato/Musashiin a 1941-42 mission, it's only in 1944-45 missions!
pasue at 38 secs, thats a 6.1 inch triple gun turret about halfway down the ship, those were removed in the 43 refit, in the ntire game the ships config is the 41/42 one, never the 44/45 one
I knowm thats what Im tryin' to say! why make it in the early war conf. when the only two missions featuring it are 1945. And I know why, for as you see AA guns in this game are dramticly more few than real life, fx the Iwoa, you can still see where all the guns should be but they're removed, thats be course they would be to powerful against a squadron of only three planes, If you ask me all ships should have ALL thier AA guns but the planes should be more powerfull...
you know what I hate about this game??

Yes Yamamoto was the admiral of the the combined fleet of imperial Japan and the Yamato was his flagship which he named after japanese natives called the Yamato. Even before that the Yamato was a japanese region about fifteen thousand years ago. So many people say Yamoto because it the way they say Yamato, but let me tell you this in speaking japanese it has a massive difference. Look up the word first that way you wont get negative points on your video.
