this movie about Yamato...

Yamato

I can't help but side with the Americans in this one

*checks plot. yeah nationalist film

id prolly the only one cheering after it sunk if i watched this on a jap cinema

america, fuck yeah! starts playing

I haven't bothered, but I wonder if they managed to accurately portray the Yamato sinking 10 aircraft.
Cuz that's all the Americans lost in that battle :v

the whole 25mm AA batteries with the loaders heroically putting in clips looks suitably heroic, but it turns out having a shit rate of fire and more importantly relying on your eyeballs isn't a great method to reliably shoot down aircraft shrug

the 'muricans by this time had their AA pretty much directed by radar and computers

Interesting. Napabasa ako ng Yamato Wikipedia article after watching the clip

Yamato's career is fascinating in that the Japanese made a super special battleship that is the pride of their navy and can take on anything it comes across...
Only to have its career hampered by the fact that she's too precious to "waste" on missions that aren't war deciding

and then when the war deciding battles do come, it's with aircraft carriers :v
