The U.S. Navy regarded long range for capital ship engagements in this time frame as 20,000- 25,000 yards. The fire control system based on the Mark 8 was marginally superior in range accuracy to the foretop optics and the Type 22 Mod 4 radar of the Yamato class (35- 40 yds. vs. 89 yds. and 109 yds. respectively). These systems only ranged on where the firing ship wanted the main battery shells to land. Where they would actually land depended on shell dispersion, which radar could not control. The pitching and rolling of the firing vessel, the rigidity of the vessel, the proximity of the guns to one another in their turret, and the time that the shells actually left the barrels were all factors, to name just a few). The dispersion factor of the Iowa class was 1.9% of range for a nine- gun salvo vs. 1.3% for a nine- gun salvo for the Yamato class. This more than offset the range accuracy of the Iowa class. Historical performance bears this out. None of the Iowa= class BBs registered a main battery hit on any vessel of destroyer size or larger during WW2, while Yamato registered 4 first salvo hits on two different vessels at over 20,000 yards off Samar- one of which was directed by radar only. The real advantage conferred by the U.S. Navy's Mark 8 Radar Range Keeper was remote power control- which enabled the radar to directly control the main battery in both range and bearing in all visibility conditions. However, the U.S. Navy never developed specific tactics to take advantage of this asset during WW2.

Same gun same armor tipiz or bismark will have result in the same end iowa was better 😊

Its because is cheating to provide take massive damage.

He didn't use Yamato as sniper, she is the 2nd best sniper in the game. She can easily outgun and outrange Missouri in the hands of a skilled player.

they are both the same body structure but the iowa will win with one advantage which is faster reloading time and a bit of thicker armor

@@Angel-im8db Reloading time for the two vessels was all but identical (Iowa 30 sec. Yamato 28 sec. with both @ minimum elevation), and there's no reason to suspect that this would significantly differ in combat. Regarding armor protection- The immunity zone of Yamato against the U.S. 16" .50 cal. gun was over twice that of Iowa's zone against the 18.1" gun. The Iowa class were only slightly better armored than the South Dakotas, and were designed primarily to catch and destroy the Kongo class fast battleships.

@@Angel-im8db Iowa was Yamato's greatest enemy

8:31 USS IOWA WINS THE GODDAMNED MATCH!!! YOUR JUST BLIND!!!

clearly you've never been quadruple citadeled by a yamato before, let me teach you personally how yamato players treat iowa players.

@@chloekaftan how does the Japanese battleships treat USS Iowa?

I mean it could, dont underestimate it, It's 16 inch guns could do some damage although Yamato will have a higher chance on sinking Iowa with it's 18 inch guns.

Of course it can, and to be honest, Iowa class ships still exist in real life and you can even visit them in person and get a tour. There are no real Yamato class in existence

Let iOwa withstand a cannonball for an hour bismarck > iowa

I dont know to be honest

@@protechfire6178 oh, haha no worries I am a total noob so I was just curious if it was some strategy I was oblivious to lol. Great vid btw and thanks for posting! o7

It was running LOL to bad Iowa is faster and can catch up quite fast

the yamato player was intentionally throwing the match, everyone knows that there is no point in stern tanking against an iowa when an iowa can outpace yamato's 27 knots with its 33 knots, yamato's strength is in bow tanking while getting Turrets # 1 & 2 to bear against a fast approaching battleship, while delicately steering to angle iowa's shells into bouncing off yamato's insanely thick armor to prevent a lucky (or skillful depending on the captain) hit on the infamous "yammy cheek". 9 times out of 10 matches i always beat an iowa in any engagement range, especially a ridiculous throw-away blitzkrieg attack that this iowa was pushing for. iowa is a battlecruiser (not a battleship) designed with an "All-or-Nothing" armor layout, building most of its armor around its barbettes, turrets, and citadel, while leaving the rest of the ship virtually unprotected, which makes getting overmatched by 460mm shells a walk in the park for any skilled yamato player.

cause it was a ai

No it was it just couldn’t hit the game is accurate to the ships, what I mean is if the Yamato had bad radar in game it’d be harder to hit shots. The Yamato’s guns where hitting just to the left of the iowa only hitting a few shots

Yes

I don't know. I was in the mood of watching a curb stomp and was not disappointed.

I have a photo when USS New Jersey shot a broadside .all guns firing at the same time. Vietnam war

Maximum tonnage between the wars was 35000 tons i think. Yamato had a displacement of 65000 tons 72809 tons full load and 9x46 cm guns. That is impressive.

@@MegaGronis bet that stressed the superstructure of the New Jersey like you quite literally wouldn't believe. Iowa class battleships were paper mache battleships, which is why the were able to perform the otherwise unrealistic feat of 33 knots, they were built with an "All-or-Nothing" armor layout that sacrificed armor across the majority of the ship with the exception of the barbettes, turrets, and citadel, in favor of speed. as opposed to most other nations favoring a turtleback armor scheme for battleships of similar tonnage, iowa and her sisters were never designed to fire all 9 - 410mm cannons at once, which likely contributed to the # 2 Turret Explosion of USS Iowa (BB-61) in April 19, 1989.

@@chloekaftan That's a sad happening in the Iowas life.

@@chloekaftan USS Iowa's turret explosion was most likely caused by gasses.

It wouldn’t of the Iowa had superior fire control.

It wouldn’t Iowa is faster has higher muzzle velocity making it more powerful just cause of a smaller caliber in guns doesn’t mean it can’t be more of a power house than a bigger caliber and Iowa has better equipped radar meaning it would pop multiple shots into the yamato before the Yamato hit it once and also Iowa has more range making it superior Yamato is inferior to the iowa

There's a reason why Iowa class ships still exist in real life and you can get a tour, and a reason why both Yamato class ships are on the bottom of the ocean fully destroyed.

@@MH-kc1eu that reason would be valid if the yamato was sunk by an iowa class

So, does american naval superiority beats Japan?

Are you sure about that iowa is superior in many ways Yamato would have sunk iowa is a power house yamato is a tall kid who wants to be “bad
