7:45 - British Avro Lancaster 4-engine bombers in American markings doing low-level anti-shipping attacks against a Japanese task force ? .Yup, defiantly, for sure .... never really happened ....
I do remember one time I faced off Yamato with Balao class sub with torpedos. She is one though battleship due in impressive protection. Also sometimes you want to land the salvos in the good place
At that range, the Yamato could have soloed that US fleet, it was designed to win engagements where it would be outnumbered by multiple battleships of classes similar to the Iowa's and Montana's. Overwhelming airstrikes were pretty much the only thing that could knock out the purposefully over-engineered Yamato-class battleships, and IRL that's the only thing that did...
i havent watched this video in a long time. i saw it a couple days after it released. 13:37 is still my favorite beginning scene. 2 iron giants , destined for greatness. you did amazing cat22planes
The Japanese did not have radar on their ships so they could see the American planes approaching. Their surface search really screwed up, missing the sectors where the American carriers were. The Americans were vastly out numbered, but were incredibly lucky. I am glad we were lucky.
B&D? Like Bondage and Domination ?? I love it. You did such a nice job on this. This took a lot of time and us subsim nuts are thankful. Thank you for this.
Honestly the Yamato should have won. 16 in guns from the Montana is nothing compared to the 18.1in guns on the Yamato. The Yamato also had more armor on deck and in the belts. Yamato was created to be impervious to American 16in guns. But because the Montana was never built and the Yamato never really had an engagement with another battleship. No one could really tell which one is better
The guns on the Iowa were capable of penetrating the Yamato's 410mm side armor at 25,000 yards. Japanese battleships, especially the Yamato, should have an advantage of greater gun engagement ranges but American superior fire control systems gave their battleships the advantage instead. While the Iowa's armor would not have been able to withstand the Yamato (should it even score a single hit on one), the Montana's armor would have held up: it's citadel was designed to withstand it's own 16" Mark VIII guns which had similar penetrative capability as the Yamato's 18.1" guns.
16' guns of the Iowa class used a Super Heavy AP shell that actually had more penetrating power than the Yamato's 18" guns. That is the reason that the Montana (which did exist as her keel was laid and given a hull number) was to be armed with 12 16" instead of 9 18"
Pzkw V On paper and for capabilities the main guns, the *Yamato* is superior. In all other aspects, it either favors the *Iowa* or is all up in the air. Anti-aircraft guns, radar-fire control systems, damage control, crew comfort, range, speed, main gun muzzle velocity, secondary DP battery performance, and so on, the *Iowa* performs better.
Some healthy reality for you silly Japanese dreamers: Number of American Battleships destroyed after Dec &, 1941 - ZERO. Number of Japanese Battleships sunk after Dec 7, 1941 - ALL. Pacific Ocean Sharks developed an appetite for Japanese food.
+chaz18541 You sound like you are a brainwashed American who thinks that they won the war singlehandedly. The Japanese were very powerful. You only defeated them by luck.
Lmao.... Here's one thing... the U.S. At the time had advanced tech etc Atom Bomb. U.S Just progressed by salvaging what they can at pearl then modifying them to Have Radar. Then the USS Essex Class CV's Came and the U.S. Massproduced it. A Total of 24 Essex Class Carriers came off the Shipyard. That power was then shown at The Battle of Truk Atoll And Saipan. if u bother to watch Battle 360 U Know what I Mean but till then I have know meaning engaging you in conflict which nation is better
For all idiots saying this ain't real, I say to you, this is called ALTERNATIVE FRICKING HISTORY so stop complaining all about it Well, it's a battle between capital ships, so yes, most of their fleets are in battle, but they each still remain large fleets of minor ships after the battle.
Nice battle scenes, and epic music ;) Of course as we know, in the real battle of Midway, the surface ships never fired a shot. It was duked out by aircraft alone. And thank god it was.. because if the Japanese Mobile force hadn't steamed ahead of the main surface fleet, leaving them with their thumbs up their asses, they would have annihilated the US Pacific fleet in an epic gun duel. And WW2 could have gone a completely different way.
jq747 You can say they could, The US might have also bashed their asses with torps because most fleets were destroyers with some cruisers and a carrier maybe, if done correctly, they can get close enough and let hell lose, so 50/50
+The Jupiter God US Mark 14 torpedoes (god am I right?) were so unreliable, sometimes it explodes sometimes it doesn't and sometimes the depth is too deep

@@cat22planes: You are most welcome. I used to do that stuff. Worked out pretty good. Now I have a lot more time on my hands. I hope you get to make something also. Keep smiling. It takes less energy. Take care
+Seijuro Akashi Biggest in terms of length? That would go to Montana (even Iowa). Yamato was much weightier than the Iowas but the Montana would of displaced about the same tonnage.
The base game is "Silent Hunter 4", available through Steam, last I checked. The add-ons to play as the Montana (and anything else for that matter) are available from "subsim.com" -Enjoy
Seijuro Akashi Once again, another 2 year old comment that I will respond to. Why would you be upset? Sure, you can hate the US all you want, but really, are you that patriotic? Based on the fact that you commented this on a video of a video game, you are probably some all out US hating person. I don't know why you would think like that, but I hope 2 years has been enough for you to mature a little bit more.
The .mis file was changed to suit my needs using notepad. Yes it is SH4. I assume that you would be able to modify the same files in SH5, though I don't own the game. FRAPS was used to record, and Power Director 11 was used to edit the video.
but... Yamato was existed... Montana was is only the fiction... and 409mmMkIII never penetrate a 410mm VC steel in counterparty - 459mm easily penetrate every part on EVERY US battleship... so this battle is really a USNavy fan production...
My my, aren't you clever? Except you didn't read the description did you? This isn't real, this is a fictional battle. Probably should have noticed that from the surface engagement and the inclusion of Montana.
The heavy bombers are not BRITISH LANCASTER BOMBERS. They are B-24 Liberators. As a side note, I am not a software writer. Had to use what SH4 has in its library.

ACTUALLY TO ALL OF YOU KNOW IT ALLS YAMATO WAS DESIGNED TO CRUSH AMERICAN BATTLESHIPS WITH ITS 18 INCH NAVAL RIFLES

The truth is the Yamato are under attack by both dive bomber and Montana so...
good job.
It's very EPIC! i like this
Did anyone pay attention to 0:31 where he said what never really happened
Taken from "The Hunt for Red October"

It's just a video game boys, girls and others, nothing more. It didn't happen.
A battleship admiral's wet dream. Why not do a simulation of the battle of Jutland. That, at least, would be more believable.

This is its main cannons
Montana! :) My home state
This cool
hey if you can can you list a few of the songs in this video
All music except for the Allied air attack are listed in the credits.
This looks interesting. What is SH4? Is it a video game? An animation program?
its a submarine game, with a ameazing engine, i mean, ameazing for a game that should be all about submarine warfare
Whoa what did you use to make this?
Silent Hunter 4. Power Director 11. FRAPS. A few of my own mods.

cat22planes thanks but will the game run on win 10 ? again thanks for your reply.
Brian Cruz yes... i played it today...
Spank that butt Montana ya that thing is a beast i should know I be seen it's original blueprints
sure its still inferior to the yamato

There was no ship to ship fighting in midway only a cruiser chasing a submarine. also the uss enterprice was in this battle
what is the name of the song that plays at 5:50
Darude - Sandstorm
Did an orchestra also play during the battle?
Zimmer was there himself, directing...
this battle was brought to you by Michael Bay
LOL Miachel bay
Not enough lens flare for it to be a Michael Bay production.
{8-)
like the one that plays around 2:00

but...
Yamato was existed... Montana was is only the fiction...
and 409mmMkIII never penetrate a 410mm VC steel
in counterparty - 459mm easily penetrate every part on EVERY US battleship...
so this battle is really a USNavy fan production...

+Pratijit Podder No actually it was sunk in the middle of the Pacific somewhere via Aircraft
+Daniel Holmes At Leyte gulf, not Midway.
+Nathan Peterson Okinawa. The Musashi was sunk at Leyte

+Nathan Peterson yamato sank on her way to Okinawa I believe she was spotted by U.S submarine
Wow this is entense
I liek the game animation.
I have never played a naval computer game.
But why did you call it Midway?
That was all about carriers!
What game is this?
It says in the title. SH4.
(Silent Hunter 4, if you will)
What music at 3:28
+Nathan Huxley Pearl Harbor - Attack
This does not look accurate. Midway was fought primarily by aircraft carriers that never saw each other.
I think this has been covered. {8-)
? what on earth a lancaster bomber doing there?
I don't know probably viewing????

dropping flares
AND THE FIRST STRIKE WAS MADE BY AMERICAN TBD DEVESTATORS NOT BY THE BUFFALO FIGHTER

This was meant to be entertainment, not a document you dumb fuck!

everyone knows that but their hull design was used for Midway Class CV
the montana was never created
he said it never happened
what the fuck what this submarine doing??????

and for the sake of future historical accuracy DO NOT USE BRITISH LANCASTER BOMBERS IN AN AMERICAN VS JAPANESE NAVAL BATTLE

really yamato bb 11
Um, yes...
