the truth be told the USS NORTH CAROLINA saw more action than either one of these ships she was part of CV'6 S (aka ENTERPRISE the greatest warship of all time)battle group at almost all of her campaigns she did fight ship to ship and just to be clear YAMTO got her ass whipped by taffy 3 a small task force of light destroyers, in ship to ship opps the USS NORTH CAROLINA has a better record than either of these ships during ww2 save ENTRPRISE which has the highest kdr of all time

@kure3173 Its true both were symbols of power for both countries. Amazing how as an American we forget the war started with 8 battleships sunk in Pearl Harbor with airplanes. They represented the spirit of the fleet in 1941. However in 1045 Yamato was sunk by American Airplanes. However in the spirit of typical military thinking instead of signing the surrender on the deck of a carrier they chose a battleship because of symbolism. Either way both Yamato and Iowa battleships are vulnerable

was this recorded with a toaster?

@ImprovedNewShimmer I'm sure with the technology we have now, we can give the Yamato better armour, accuracy and guns. Anyone agree with me, thumbs up!
-
um just so you know the US ship at the battle was the Wisconsin not the Iowa

Hood armour
sides-152mm to 302mm deck 19mm central 76mm outer turrets 381mm
No wonder it was obliterated

@decapod39 Haha, I can't believe I'm getting in to this. To put things to rest. Yamato Armour; 650mm-turret 410mm side 200mm central deck(this has the super structure so doesn't require as much) 226.5mm- outer armour deck Bismarck; turret-360mm side-320mm Deck armour - 100mm central 120mm-outer deck armour the bismarck took 4 torpedoes before it sank, the yamato took >11 The bismark was designed as a fast convoy raider, sacrificing armour and armament Iowa BTW sides-310mm deck-190mm

@tyroneemail You are probably correct, but I suspect that the Japanese kept the internal structures they copied from the Brits, even after they started to do their own designs. I don't know for sure, but it took ~20 bombs and torpedos to sink the Yamato. It took 400 direct hits by 16", 14", shells and torpedos to down the Bismark. The bismark had the right deck armor to stop "plunging fire". I will bet dollars to donuts the Yamato did not, and hence, would be very vulnnerable to the Iowa.

@decapod39 Good point however the japanese only modeled british ships during and immediately after WW1 after that oddly enough the british looked to the Japanese for inspiration. In the 1920's-1930's The Japanese began to model after the US, Although they still contracted the Brits to build them. After the 1930's the Japanese developed their own style. Hence the nickname Pagoda battleships by american aircrews. This is from memory but if you need me to substatiate I can, just to lazy right now.
two things i hate in life: the sound of a car alarm late at night and this piece of sh_t song

Funny to watch these videos, as I worked on the development of this game and I happened to build the model for the Yamato, save for the guns. It feels great to see your model getting alive and people playing with it.
