  • Historically a bit inaccurate. By the time the assault on Shuri-jo took place, it had already been reduced to rubble. There were no structures at all left standing. The Japanese command were not actually in the castle, but in a heavily fortified cave about 5 minutes walk from the entrance. However, this is exactly how the castle would have looked in March 1945. Btw, I live in Shuri.

  • They need to stop with the fucking uphill battles in COD games.

  • I want to meet the level desinger for the pacific campaign and bet the shit out of him.

    I don't understand why you would brech historical accuracy to make things less epic, it just doesn't make any sense.

    Yup . But took a lot longer than three days to burn down The landings were on April 1st. Naval bombardment started about 1 week before (around May 25th). Initially the shells "bounced" of the walls (USSA report) but eventually the castle began to crumble. As the main Japanese 32nd army HQ was in the tunnels below, it was shelled relentlessly. The USMC (5th Marine Corps, I think?) finally took the castle at the end of May, by which time it was totally obliterated.

  • @hoddo74

    Wasn't the Shuri Castle bombarded and shelled by American battleships on May 25?

    It also took about two to three days for it to burn down. So you're right, it would have been rubble by 29.
