It's not a detonation, if that's what you're implying.

Your choice of megamilk, flight deck or breeding hips. I recommend breeding hips, with a few points in legs to round it out.

Well, it just makes sense that you need t8 ships to get a free t8 ship.
Oliver Myers
They did this because the main goal was to stop the US from landing in Japan. They still had more than 20k planes in reserve specifically to to throw them against the landing forces, in a way the planes they expended around Okinawa were just the first wave.
And the reason they threw Yamato into the fray like that was because the IJN simply ran out of fuel, and it was either that or let the ship sit at anchor like Nagato.
Asher Richardson
How long until secondary build is no longer viable?
Jordan White
How is this even possible?
Julian Green
>They still had more than 20k planes in reserve specifically to to throw them against the landing forces
Everything I've read has led me to believe that Imperial Japan suffered chronic plane shortages, to the point where most of their main carrier air wings were underplaned and their second-line carriers took whatever they could scrounge. Heck, in '42 they produced less than 100 planes, total. If they actually had 20,000 planes in reserve then they wouldn't have used the last of their carriers as a fucking decoy at Leyte.
Landon Rogers
Imperial Japan lost: Most of their carriers at Midway (taking their highly-trained pre-war fighter pilots with them) Most of their highly-trained pre-war crew in the Guadalcanal meatgrinder Most of their planes in the Marianas Turkey Shoot Most of their logistics and a lot of their warships to submarines
They never recovered from any of these

Japanese planes weren't even a threat by late war. The were outperformed by superior US plons in every single aspect >inb4 turning circle, as if it mattered and US AA was too good. The only way to make them somehow useful was to turn them into guided missiles.
Xavier Price
Why are foot fetishits so pathetic?

But WT teached me turning circles is all that matters and energy fighters are garbage

>If they actually had 20,000 planes in reserve then they wouldn't have used the last of their carriers as a fucking decoy at Leyte. They didn't lack planes, what they lack is pilots.

>If they actually had 20,000 planes in reserve then they wouldn't have used the last of their carriers as a fucking decoy at Leyte. These were ALL types of planes.
As in, biplanes trainers from the 30s, all kinds of observation and utility planes that were unfit for carrier service, that kind of thing. This was bottom-of-the-barrel last ditch reserves before they got to sending civilian 'militias' with sharpened bamboo sticks into machinegun fire.
Also they lacked pilots to even fly one-way missions to okinawa with the modern planes they had left. They were however training pilots to use the slow and shitty biplanes etc.for use againt the landing forces close to their own shores.
In a way, the kamikaze attacks they actually did were more of a test run. They tried this in the hope that it would kill a few of teh US carriers, which mostly failed. So they modified the plans, and went for smaller ships, which actually improved the success rate a bit. So the next step would've been to go for the transports near the landing beaches while using mountains to hide from the radar and to reduce the raction times of the CAP, or to simply swamp the CAP by sending .Ohka strikes against the warships further out to sea while at the same time using the old and slow planes against the transports closer to the landing beaches.
I can't tell you if that would have worked, but their decision wasn't lol let's fly planes into ships xD', they just did some strategic calculations and decided that crew survival was not important. The Soviets did pretty much the same with their tank tactics 1944, and their infantry tactics in 1942. It did not really work in '42 for them, but started workign in '44 because the Germans ran out of tanks.

i have been playing german battleships and i like them a lot but now i feel like playing IJN BB's. are they fun to go down and play or should i just stick to grinding KM?
Ryan Flores
KM is probably more fun but after the T3 and 4 the Japs are pretty fun too
Connor Gomez
So does anyone have all the raptor webums I want to improve my play and it could really help me
Cooper Wright
They're both fantastic lines.
Highlights of the German BBs are the Gnei and the Bismarck, both fucking amazing BBs that are great for brawling. Fred and GK are both excellent high tiers because you just don't get citadelled.
For IJN Kongou through Amagi are all amazing botes, Fusou might just be the best T6 BB and P A G O D A S are aesthetic as shit. Izumo is not great but it's been buffed alot and really isn't as bad as it used to be. Yamato is Yamato and is a great T10.
I'd say grinding German BBs might be more fun, but grinding IJN will make you a better BB player.
They're both good, just play whichever sexually excites you more
