Well you gotta support the war effort, it's obvious why all these companies all jumped in lines to make aircraft and tanks for the military during war times as the military will buy all planes, tanks, transports and other vehicles that you produce to support the war. Military vehicles back then don't require much more skill to produce than a regular civilian car would so it was easy to train car makers to make tanks, aircraft and other vehicles. It's an extremely lucrative business for these companies to sell the most overpriced services and equipment to the military since it's not their money that they use to buy war materials that they always need to keep fighting.
This comment reminded me of a line from, Ford vs Ferrari. Where Ford jr tells Shelby, "This isn't the first time Ford Motor has gone to war in Europe. Go to war, Mr. Shelby."
"Le vent se lève, Il faut tenter de vivre" - a poem of Paul Valéry, recurring sentence in the movie of the same name made by studio Ghibli making a semi fictional semi historical portrayal of Horikoshi Jiro, an awesome watch if you're interested in the life (although some parts of the movie as stated before are complete works of fiction) of the designer of the late A6M and J2M !
'The Wind Rises' is actually a really interesting piece, and one that I highly recommend. I think its less of a biography of Jiro, but a biopic of Miyazaki himself through the lens of Horikoshi. The film hinges on Jiro's alleged statement of "all I wanted to do was to make something beautiful", and explores how pure beauty can be corrupted by the harshness of reality, that will induce loss, suffering and force compromises along the way.
What's interesting is in reality, his life isn't so dissappointing as his wife would live long and stay with him, even though he was often busy in the office designing things. After the war he continued as an engineer for short time then become a teacher at tokyo university. He got 5 children! Sadly none would become an engineer. Studio Ghibli kinda screwed with history, even though its in a beautiful way. His life as an engineer could be said a good one as in the old age he even visit New York compared to what the regular japanese folk lost during the war he got better pie of it. It's a bit sad that his real wife name somehow gone and replaced by fictional character that Ghibli and Tatsuo Hori made :/ i bet she is the unsung hero in his life, especially after the war.
Fun fact : Shakai saburo once ordered to shut down a dutch civilian transport on java But after he saw there were women and children inside the transport, he decided to disobey the order

So I heard about this Xbox-PC linking thing and I've been thinking of playing more PC instead of Xbox. I was wondering if I link the two accounts or however it works and play a round on PC then switch over to the xbox will I get the progress (sp/rp) from the round I played on PC? I was just wondering this because if I make a new PC account with it linked to the xbox I would like to get progress from when I play pc then switch over to xbox as I am the kind of person to switch around every so often.
@@toasterwolf97 that doesn’t mean much. That could 4th gen in the last update of the year. Usually updates only range from 1.5 to 2.5 months before they start showing vehicles on Coub or anything.
Okay but where is my A6M4 (Turbo supercharger variant based on the 3) and A6M7 (dedicated attacker and dive bomber version)? Where is my G4M2 (better aerodynamics, extra 20mm turret), G4M3 (self-sealing tanks, armor, waist guns replaced with 20mm), and G4M2 Mod 22 (20mm waist guns and search radar)? How about the B5M1 (slightly lower quality B5N) as a 1.0 premium even? Hm?
All jokes aside if you shoot a zero it will end up in two ways 1 getting on your tail and doing little to none damage with the 20 mm airsoft guns. 2 you light him up like a matchstick
By looking at the current conditions, America must immediately lift the restrictions on military technology for Japan. After all, will America be able to send troops to Japan if one day Japan is attacked? Don't let Japan become the second Ukraine where America and its allies are just shouting and doing nothing
There are no restrictions America has imposed on Japan. All of them have been lifted since the Korean War and both then and now, the US had encouraged the Japanese to fully rebuild a military so they can spare US resources and also to gain another ally in the region that can aid with outside operations. Much like how Korea is today. Japan however opted to not follow through and instead use a self defense force partly because they wished to not change their constitution which restricted Japan’s offensive capabilities. Self Defense Force is a misleading title though, because the JSDF especially navy wise is one of the most powerful militaries in the world. And the Japanese have been slowly getting less passive and using loopholes to do things such as a add carriers to their fleet and incorporate rapid deployment vehicles that could serve a great use for offensive attacks. And as the previous commenter said, there is a defensive pact between the two countries and US forces within Japan, which Ukraine lacked.
You need to publish a handbook for noobs and sometimes long time players on how to fight the zero, too many times do people in spitfires, P47s and P51s think they can out turn me at low speed.
the trick to fighting the zero is coming in with speed and not at a steep angle, once forced slow there is nothing you can do in a zero. and most of the time zero pilots will present a very clear shot when performing evasive maneuvers, (allows for a split second shot on them) by the time that happens they cant really follow into the verticle due to bleeding speed trying to evade, so by the time I rudder flip and come back down on them they are basically a sitting duck.
@@kermitlynotfound1129 yeahhhh…. a lot of the time you have to try to drag your opponents closer to the ground where they perform worse than you except if they are Russian, thing is opponents will try to use their speed to run away so you turn round to bait them, if they keep running away they no longer your problem, but you want them to turn back to get on your tail, at that moment they have killed a lot of their speed and you then turn back and avoid any angles which you can be hit from and use the zeroes amazing energy retention in turns to move faster and out turn to get on their rear. And as your close to the ground they can’t dive to outpace you again. It’s really difficult to explain in words but I think you I get what I mean. A lot of the times people think they have gotten away cause I’m in a zero and they in a P51 and think that after I turn they can turn onto me to get on my rear but in actuality they have activated my trap card.
@@proleterriert8075 idk i just think most zero pilots are just used to abusing the ability to turn and over use it, i find that energy trapping a zero or just getting them to bleed speed is fairly easy, they are fairly easy to bait for team mates and even going against them solo i find that i have a split second to kill them before i have to extend and go verticle, if they follow they get stalled out and either die from my team or are way to slow combined with the fact a rudder flip is far faster than any normal turn so i can come back down on them and they simply don't have the speed to do anything.
yeah. i have 120 kills to 29 deaths in my a6m5 ko. too many people think they can overcommit just because im slow in a straight line. the 20mms slap as well
Is it just me or do the Carrier models look newer I think they tryed to give us a sneak peak of updated WW2 aircraft carrier models. Or am I just crazy.
strange, I posted a video about Horikoshi and his airplanes 6 months ago and *that* video had a part talking about playing said planes in War Thunder! coincidence? eh, most likely.
yes plssss. i love the current J7W1. it has a solid airframe but an underperforming engine. The J7W2 Shinden Kai should solve that with its jet engine. it could be a competitive early jet at 7.0. slower than the kikka but more manouverable and more heavily armed
(Personal Opinion) I think the best starter nations are the USSR and the US, but China is a pretty good nation too, it gets the best of them both in low-mid tiers The main issue with China is that it's a minor nation so it doesn't get new vehicles that frequently and there's not much variety. If that doesn't bother you i'd say go ahead
Why is the b-29 repair cost high instead of the cost of the plane itself because when the next war came along the computer wasn’t as expensive, the United States used it In a lot of aircraft
Japan post war aircraft are boring as hell just copy and paste of American jet and only have two unique jets other than that it’s pointless playing Japan but the ww2 era now that fun and full of cool things
Crazy to imagine these guys also make standard civilian cars.
Really cool.
Well most ww2 air plane manufacturers do, so it's not really that big of a surprise.

Hey the Ki-67 bombers have a glitch, their front gunner is stuck facing up lol.
The ki-21 is more than easy to fly, the thing turns faster than biplanes
Which is odd, even to me a Japanese Main. Like, when it turns, it WANTS to keep turning.
lets not talk about the guns, or more specifically, gun
ikr
Speaking of Jiro Horikoshi, I would recommend a movie called Wind Rises by Studio Ghibli.
That one zero which destroyed its propeller on the tail of an F4U lmao
3:12 Zero crashed it's propeller against the F4U
It's the Banzai way!
Thank you very much bro from Japan
Sad they we still do t have have the Mitsubishi G3M “Nell” Bomber that was prominent in the early years of the pacific war that participated in the sinking of HMS Repulse & Prince of Wales
Indeed! And that one was also designed by Honjou as well
they also make ships and tanks as well. the Type 90 tank being a good example
In the next update, can you please bring back the old hangar music? It defined war thunder in a unique way to us players
we are just going to ignore the part where the zero destroyed his propellers at 3.13
3:13 lol the zero's propeller got bent
is nobody gonna mention the fact that war thunder has placed a very sussy "4K" on about 4 videos now?
So not only did they build op aircraft but also build WRC monsters such as the lancer Evo 4
8:00 “The country was already in ruins…”
**Shows a normal 1940s Japanese house**
Out in the rural countryside, the only place in the country that was reliably untouched by the fire bombings.
There is a beautiful animated film named "The Wind Rises" based on the life of Horikushi Jiro.
Can you guys add the yokosuka mxy-7 ohka aircraft, that would be cool
I would be nuts
Gonna Be Useless Since It Doesnt Have Any Kind Of Weapons And Roles
