      So... when are you going to make the yamato's secondaries actually shoot at aircraft?? I definitely remember them being dual purpose (DP) guns... and what ever happened to ships properly capsizing and shearing in half, and why dont propellers keep spinning after a ship sinks? and why dont the wrecks stay on the sea floor for submarines to admire? How about fixing the stuff you had years ago? I came back to this game 2 months ago only to be disappointed time and time again with how much this game has changed. my beta tester badge and 8 years meritorious service badge is shameful to use.

      ​@@O.J._is_Guiltythat wasnt the order at all. Yamatos last mission was called operation ten-gō and the mission was to start a relief attack at okinawa so the rest of the japanese navy had some time to reorganize which ultimately failed because the americans noticed that the yamato left port and intercepted it and its support fleet consisting of a few destroyers and cruisers. In the end 4000 people died, yamato alongside 1 cruiser and 4 destroyers where sunk while the usa only hav 12 deaths consisting of 10 shot down planes.

    Two things:
    1. More planes were involved in the sinking of the Yamato than the Pearl Harbor attack (and remember, they were sent to sink one ship)
    2. The explosion was so monstrous it knocked out a few planes from the sky. And to add insult to injury, that explosion brought down more planes than the Yamato did during the entire battle up until that point.

    Yamato was a great ship. Although it had to be destroyed, you have to admit, it was a sad undertaking.
    We learned about it in 8th grade. A classmate brought a model of it to school we helped him put it together. She had a lot of guns. She was a beautiful ship. Especially after we painted it.
    We also learned about the Missouri, the Nevada and all the ships that were sunk at Pearl Harbor.
    That was the best week ever, at school, in 8th grade, for us boys. Ill never forget it.
    Since then I aquired the documentaries The World at War and Victory at Sea.

    They learned from sinking the Musashi that they wanted to hit only one side of the ship with torpedoes instead of hitting both sides. In this way, it would reduce the ability to mitigate listing by counter-flooding. Ultimately, it led to the Yamato capsizing.

    My father served on the USS Heermann during the Battle of Leyte Gulf. His ship made a torpedo run on the Yamato all the while dodging shells. My father said the Yamato was a big ship but the guns looked really big when they are pointing and firing at you. The Yamato wasn’t hit, but because of the torpedos it had to take evasive measures which took it out of the fight for a while. His ship took some hits but didn’t sink. He lost some shipmates. Dad had major PTSD. He served during WWII, Korean War, and Vietnam. My brother and I served in Vietnam. My son served in Kosovo, Iraq, and Afghanistan.

In all honesty, his family is owed an apology, for the elected erosion of everything his family has sacrificed themselves to preserve. Unfortunately, none of us has ever known the full measure of the freedoms the founders fought for, because the republic was assassinated, by the Supreme Court, in 1803, Lincoln destroyed any sense of State's rights, in 1865, and Congress has been throwing away its authority and credibility, since 1803, when it failed to even attempt to stop the unconstitutional actions of the Supreme Court. His family has protected the few freedoms which remain, but the nation spits in the face of that sacrifice, by tolerating a government, which bears no resemblance to the one created and restrained by the Constitution.

      The Japanese naval squadron consisted of the battleship Yamato, the light cruiser Yahagi, and 9 destroyers.
      The Yamato was the primary target, and was attacked first. The other ships were not attacked until the Yamato was dead in the water, and then the Yahagi and 4 of the 9 destroyers were sunk.
      One of the destroyers, the Yukikaze, had participated in every major battle in the Pacific without receiving a single hit or suffering any damage or casualties, and she was here with the Yamato. US naval aviators launched multiple attacks on her during this battle without scoring a single hit or even a near-miss.

    In the 1930s, Billy Mitchell proved to the American military that the aircraft was going to be the weapon of the future, not the battleship. So it's no surprise to me that none of the American carriers were around in Pearl Harbor on December 7 of 1941. A select few people in American government knew about the Japanese attack that was coming and made sure that those carriers were out of harms way and allowed for that sacrifice in order to get us into the war😢😢. and this video here is just more proof about how important the Air Force was at that time in history, doing a job that no battleship was going to be able to do.
