I'm not sure how you can say WoWs is "insanely realistic" - it is arcade-y at best. xD
Don't waste your time with World of Warships, and always remember LittleWhite Mouse and what weegee did to her.
Biggest waste of time, money, and resources ever. They built Yamato and Musashi and then never used them effectively.
Not to mention Shinano, a battleship converted to an aircraft carrier only to have been sunk by a submarine, never fully commissioned!
They should have focus on building carriers. If they had more carriers, they could have convince the US for conditional surrender and kept Korea and Taiwan.
They both !re in too deep of water to make good reefs.
@@LarryWater
haha
No
Why? Just see the Unryuu, Amagi, and Katsuragi that cant do anything anyways after Cape engano, can only become transport carrier as well.
Same with Iowa Class. Extra-large AA Cruisers is all.
Historical notes - Hey guys! So first off, I am not as knowledgeable in naval warfare as I am in the air war. So forgive me for any shortcomings or if this video is not as in depth as my normal aviation content, but I have done by best here and wanted to cover this topic. As far as the visuals go, there are a few scenes where I had to use other ships to represent the Yamato due to graphic limitations. Other than that, it should be fairly accurate!

I got 4. Never heard the last one, but glad to know now. Yamato has been one of my all time favorite warships ever constructed since i was a kid playing Silent Hunter and i saw her secondary and AA armament through the periscope of my submarine. That was the first warship game i had played and seeing Yamato instilled fear, wonder, and an unachievable goal for me all at once. I never did get to sink her sadly, but my love for WWI and WWII history, vehicles, and games has never ceased since that day.
Was that the NES game? I remember playing that when I was younger, I haven't used my NES in like 9yrs
@@Kurt20051YT I played a later version, i think like 5 or something, and it was on the PC. They did have one on the NES but i never played it.
@@MidnightRoselle222 Oh I didn't even know they had any more versions other than the NES version, I'll have to check them out
Thanks TJ for sharing with us the 5 little known facts of the Yamato. Hope to see more of such contents in the future
Hot days & Cold wet nights. Time,Tigers & Blues vs a .50 . Poor honorable saps They had it coming with O choices.
4/5. I had never heard that the American flyers had strafed survivors.
Did not expect that you make a video about ship, but i like it
Dude you need to make a masterclass on engaging historical content. Your channel is the Pink Floyd of history creators. Top of the line quality.
Yeah, except that he's ignorant of history. Yamamoto's flagship during the Midway attack was Akagi, not battleship Yamato. BATTLESHIP YAMATO WAS NEITHER PART OF NOR PRESENT DURING THE MIDWAY ATTACK. PERIOD!!!! BATTLESHIP YAMATO'S ONLY REAL ENGAGEMENT WAS LEYTE GULF.
@@willboudreau1187 Yamato was at midway it just wasn’t apart of the carrier force it was with the invasion force and just didn’t do anything
Wow!! What a great surprise a TJ video on MONDAY. You made my day buddy. I loved your last video Too. They just keep getting better and better. We need a 24 hour TJ3 History channel. Lol. I often re watch many of your videos. Keep up the good work you and Keep 'em Flyin.
Thanks :)
5 on 5. I reckon it helps that I'm a retired Senior Chief (tin cans) and have studied naval history for over 5 decades so far.
The ship spent so much time at anchor between Midway and Leyte Gulf she was referred to as the "Hotel Yamato" in the Japanese Navy. 4 of 5. I suspected the crew had been strafed after she capsized but I was bothered about admitting it.
I'm surprised by getting all 5 correct. I had doubts about the # of torpedoes she was hit with. I knew it wasn't as high as the amount launched at the Musashi. I guessed about what happened to the survivors. I knew some of the escorting destroyers picked up survivors. Not the bit of them being strafed.
Like a few others. I first heard of this ship from the old series Starblazers in the early 80's. When I got older I learned more about the actual ship. I'm still a fan of Uchu Senkan Yamato. My favorite anime franchise of all time.
Well done!
I also got all 5 correct. I also love Uchu Senkan Yamato. Have you seen the remake, Yamato 2199? It is REALLY good.
i got 3 of them correct
i honestly didnt expect the last one to be americans strafing, but i understand their anger. The japanese were known for torturing captured american airmen, one example in the Battle of Midway, there are reports of American flyers being tortured for intel before being killed, one of them being SBD gunner Bruno Gaido and his pilot from the Enterprise, who previously defended the Enterprise a few months earlier from a Betty bomber attempting to crash into the flight deck
Yep!
5/5 Another great one TJ.
AWESOME VIDEO🔥🔥🔥
Great job
I got 3/5. Thanks for another great video TJ.
Good information
I got 3 out of 5. I was surprised to learn how little the Yamato actually contributed to the war. Overall she was basically just a figurehead waiting for a big punch up that never happened.
My Father Kenneth McLaughlin was a WT/3 and served on USS Gambier Bay which was hit with Shellfire and sunk during the battle off Samar
The Battle of Midway wasn't a Surprise attack. The Americans had already cracked the Japanese naval code and printed a full Japanese order of battle prior to Midway.
Do you think we could get a video on the Iowa-class battleships next? As for the questions, I got all correct.
Lol idk! I am really not great with ships to be honest! But I guess if you guys really love this one I will consider it!
The excitement I get when you post a new vid
Wooo!
Yeah, except that he's ignorant of history. Yamamoto's flagship during the Midway attack was Akagi, not battleship Yamato. BATTLESHIP YAMATO WAS NEITHER PART OF NOR PRESENT DURING THE MIDWAY ATTACK. PERIOD!!!! BATTLESHIP YAMATO'S ONLY REAL ENGAGEMENT WAS LEYTE GULF.
I actually didn't know about strafing against the survivors and that was the only question that I missed. I wonder if the Yamato will still be displayed today if it weren't sent on that suicide mission with no air cover. Probably not. Even if it was still docked it was still a threat and the Navy would of sent bombers and torpedoes to sink it.
Another great TJ3 History video! I only got 3 out of 5 correct but I learned a lot! Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!

I got 4 as well and I was surprised not surprised to hear that last one, there is a really good movie about the construction of the Yamato called like Archimedes or something on prime and youtube, I highly recommend it
2 more facts: 1. American airmen realized they needed to hit the Yamato from the same side. They use to hit port and starboard but stopped that to concentrate firepower. 2. 1- 18" gun turret weighed the same as 1 mid sized American destroyer ton for ton.
The Yamato spent so much time in dock and away from action that Japanese sailors used to call the ship as the "Hotel Yamato".
Hi TJ got all 5 correct.Studied a lot about the Yamato
Nice!
A departure from the usual formula but a masterpiece nonetheless. Stay awesome tj
Thank you!

First Great Video!! Again!!💯👍🔥😃
Thanks :)
4 out of 5 I got the 5th one wrong
(I find it quite interesting that people know more about what they don't like than what they actually, or making jokes like the Yamato being a giant Coral reef in the Iowa class battleships being floating museums)
still cant believe they built a battleship based on a anime show 😁
Lol
Anime did not exist in the 40s
@@justanotherguy6980
Joke
Your head
@@HateTheGameTX huh?
Do you know how to speak English
I got them all correct
I’ve been doing research on the Yamato for years
The Yamato! "Swing and a Miss"
5/5. Had doubts on my answer to #4, but I remembered the US aviators learned from the sinking of the Musashi (who took 19 torpedo hits) at Sibuyan Sea , so I guessed correctly (11). Ten Ichi was a total waste. The IJN should have sent her at Guadalcanal in '42, even with fuel shortages. Doubt the Americans had anything that could sink her then.
Got 4 out of 5. I was surprised when I heard the last question's answer. Because most of the time, I always hear that shark attacks are common after a warship sinks and the crew float in the water. I can understand as to why the pilots would do such act.
Got all but the last question correct.
Missed the last one. I just didn't think we'd do it. Guessed on the number of of torps amd got it right.
I did moon the questions… got I think 4/5 right and the fifth one was on my mind and I should have trusted my gut. Btw, how is the Spitfire in England going? I have not been able to find any info on it at all.
All expect for last one
My wrong answer is on the last one. And the one before that, the 11 torpedoes, was my wild guess that came right.
3 out of 5 😮 not bad but not good either 😕 great channel 👍 😀
l only missed one my friend and thanks my friend....
Old Shoe🇺🇸
I got all of them correct!
I only managed 3 of 5... The strafing of the sailors was not an answer I expected either by Japanese or American forces. Thanks to TJ3 for another great video.

@@willboudreau1187He said that man
@@willboudreau1187Yamato was INDEED Yamamoto flagship during the Midway, it was on the OTHER FLEET, just because she didnt participate in the heat of battles doesnt mean she's not present, Yamamoto was NEVER take command in Akagi on that day, it was Nagumo that was stationed there.
You might want to check your fact buddy, before saying him as ignorant while you seems the one that is like that
Yamy was never weak, he just had a bad time during the war. And had a bad design to the firepowers, but still very handsome.
The japanese really focused on the main firepowers and some others, while forgetting quite a lot of things that made them be as good as their firepower, for example, fire control, gunfire systems, or whatever, etc etc...
His AAs was hundreds, but was never really effective. Same thing for the main turrets which fires 457.9 mm or 45cm shells.
I got 3 but all were guesses. Only one answer right was more than just a complete guess and I really didn't know it just thought I had heard it before.
4/5. Not too shabby 🙂.
I got 4 out of 5, I missed the last question, as a Belgian I do know what Nazi Germany did to Europe but I am learning about the Pacific war - fascinating!
I'm kinda surprised I guessed all 5 correctly. The only ones that really took me a second were the number of torpedoes and what happened to sailors trying to swim away from the Yamato. The number of torpedoes made sense given how difficult the pilots had it since launching torpedoes wasn't exactly easy while under fire which is why 18 seemed a bit too much to me so I went for a more modest number. As for survivors trying to swim away from the sinking battleship I just put myself into the shoes of what ticked off aviators would've done back in the day given how the IJN treated downed Allied pilots and POWs. Some similar incidents happened in the European theatre as well so my assumption was that it wouldn't have been much of a leap for some of the fighter pilots to start strafing survivors in the water.
I've always enjoyed reading and listening to stories about different sides of the conflict during WWII since it is often far more interesting than what is taught in the classroom. I really enjoyed the video keep up the good work.
I got all of the questions right I’m into World War Two
I got three right, but what matters to me is the things I’ve learned, and the fun I had helping film this
Yeah, except that he's ignorant of history. Yamamoto's flagship during the Midway attack was Akagi, not battleship Yamato. BATTLESHIP YAMATO WAS NEITHER PART OF NOR PRESENT DURING THE MIDWAY ATTACK. PERIOD!!!! BATTLESHIP YAMATO'S ONLY REAL ENGAGEMENT WAS LEYTE GULF.
@@willboudreau1187He never claimed that Yamato was actually within the main fleet. As he said, the Yamato was coming from a different direction, roughly 600 or so miles away. He didn’t claim the ship did anything during the battle, because it didn’t, but it was indeed headed for the island until June 5th, when it was ordered to turn around
I'm actually surprised but I got the first 4 right. The first one was a semi lucky guess and I had no idea the Americans shot at the survivors, missed the last one.
I watched a video that showed U.S. Navy personel shooting Japanese maritime sailors with sub machine guns and bars. This submarine had just sunk a Japanese freighter and the crew was gunning down survivors in the water from the ship.
4 out 5 for me. Leyte Gulf had me stumped for a second. But the last question got me. I've never heard that, and is a bit sad to hear
Yeah, except that he's ignorant of history. Yamamoto's flagship during the Midway attack was Akagi, not battleship Yamato. BATTLESHIP YAMATO WAS NEITHER PART OF NOR PRESENT DURING THE MIDWAY ATTACK. PERIOD!!!! BATTLESHIP YAMATO'S ONLY REAL ENGAGEMENT WAS LEYTE GULF.
@@willboudreau1187That's Nagumo's flagship bro, not Yamamoto's. Also, Yamato participated but never fired a shot as they were miles away from the main battle. Yamamoto's task force, with the Yamato as the flagship, were supposed to be the ones providing fire support for the landings and to give the final blow to the remaining American ships after all of the US Navy's carriers were sunk.
Think about it. 10 minutes ago those guys in the water were trying to kill you. You are maxed out on adrenaline from just surviving the encounter. I very probably would have done this too.
While yamato's survivability is nothing of an engineering feat, her sister ship, musashi, took more punishment with a total of 19 torpedoes and 17 bombs.
That's why Yamato was only torpedoed on one side. Musashi was hit on both beams so flooding was more even. She held trim even as she went under.
Given American aa weaponry these ships would have been way more difficult targets. The engineering of the ship itself was very good.
I missed the strafing question. I have never heard that before (which means that I will be researching to confirm this answer)
Got the 1st 3 correct. Not as familiar with this ships sinking as others, 3 out of 5 ain't too bad
I got 4 correct
Nice!
Got the lot, I had to guess one though.
There is a great movie, about a young anti war Japanese math genius, trying to help admiral Yamamoto, & others, to thwart the imperial navy’s conspiracy, to construct the Yamato, called “the Great War of Archimedes”…
The Japanese had two remaining destroyers that were picking up survivors. The Americans could have sunk these two ships also but left them to recover survivors.
Hi, is it possible to rent this movie? for our museum 303 in Napoleon?
Well I got 4 of 5. Missed the torpedo question.
they know that the battle is up to air superiority.
*builds big Battleship*
*that didn't do anything much*
*got bombarded to death*
*totally usefull*
Missed the last one,
5/5, sad but true. being prepared to always fight to the death, if rescued, any survivors would inflict many more allied casualties, another example being the battle of the Bismarck sea.., also the numerous incidents of US forces attempting to rescue Japanese in the water only to have them detonate gr4enades, etc, on their rescuers, very tragic but true..
It took fewer torpedoes than I thought. Otherwise I got the answers. The Yamato and Mushasi turned out to be the biggest white elephants of the War. Designed and constructed before WW2 losses demonstrated the Battle Ship no longer was the supreme weapon at sea.
A huge drain on resources for little or no tactical or strategic gain. To big to risk using effectively. Until it was late to make use of them. Her last voyage was the largest kamikaze attack.
The Bismarck and Tirpitze had some tactical success. Tirpitz tied up a great deal of RN resources for years until finally destroyed.
One and it was the first one question 😅😅😅
Now my 20 year old serves on Okinawa as a Marine! I did 25 in the army, 83 to 08! 3 combat tours as a tanker😮
got all right
Nice!
History's greatest Battleship is sitting at the bottom of the ocean.
Meanwhile USS Missouri stands proudly over the memorial to the USS Arizona and continued to serve for decades.
This is without even bringing up New Jersey, Whiskey, and Iowa which are all equally still afloat.
4 of 5, missed the Torpedoes
....and eventually she became a Space Battleship.....
Wasnt the Yorktown sunk by a Japanese sub at the end of midway?
I got 3 again, the first 3.
Not bad at all!
My dad fought on Okinawa in 45. I still have his helmet and other stuff. Along with some Japanese helmets and hats. I started getting stuff at 4 years old, from my dad's Vfw buddies. Now I got a lot of ww2 stuff.
Missed the last two questions
its simple...i got all correct due i read alot of WW2 naval battles books
Good job!
Got all 5. Yamato a victim of the times.
If the Yamato and Musashi were so powerful, why did both of them blow up like the HMS Barham? The only reason these two ships were considered powerful was due to their 18.1 inch main guns. Other than that, their designs and construction were weak.
I got 3 correct.🎉
👍👍👍
I got 4 out of 5. Got the torpedoe hits wrong. I thought it was more but I may have been thinking about her sister ship Mushashi.
4 out of 5. I did not know about the strafing. I know it was war, but still, poor souls. On both sides. At least give a man a chance to fight for his life. Again: goes for both Japanese and US sides.... Anger and vengeance combined are an evil set of guidelines.
i got the first three, but not the last two
I got the first four, but missed the last.
Well done!
WOULD HAVE BEEN A CLASH OF TITANS HAD IT FOUGHT THE USS NEW JERSEY.
4/5 correct
I got 3 correct
4 out of 5
3 of 5. Guess I need to go back to school. How does a 67 year old enroll? 😂
I answered all the questions correctly.
Nice!
Missed one.
3 correct answers.
i always thought that the total of torps n bombs were 11 so i choose 8 what a dumb idiot i am
3 out of 5 correct
5 🥳 Woho
Nice!
