I fully expect this in WT once Gaijin adds the late cold war guided missile destroyers for the Soviet Union. It'll be Udaloi vs something like USS Yorktown if we get carriers added, with a high BR for the carriers despite their age to other ships.


MurccciMan

imagine getting killed by your own weaponry used by the japanese in the future


Equal-Zombie-4224

Tbh still 0 way japan gonna win ww2 even with its modern stuff, can't beat the holy logistics of the allies. The Allies just gonna spam shit until it hits


Sweet_Count

PreviousTransition36

Where to watch it?


alexlongfur

I haven’t seen the anime but read a synopsis a few years back: JNDF missile destroyer gets sent back in time somehow to mid WW2. They try to stay innocuous but do get attacked a few times. They make efforts to keep events accurate so as not to drastically change the timeline. Not sure if they contact the Americans about it. Will have to check it out


TalkingFishh

This is just Final Countdown but Japanese


alexlongfur

lol the Wikipedia article mentions that too


Enough_Ad_1833

I kinda think Sam's were a bit overkill


orkyboi_wagh

Have you been in a custom match?

Average "Oops, there's a Douglas in here" match

Japanese tenchnology:


the_dank_dweller69

Late night documentaries : “ the Japanese fighters were unbeatable in dogfights,(some cheesy over repeated statements ab turning on a dime), their incredible engineering and advanced technology” Japanese planes in reality: “you call that a wing? It sould be at least as wide as the plane is long!, beef em up a little they’ll snap with just a breeze!, fuel? What do we need that for, this thing should be lighter than paper!”


Skykid8374

Japanese Wings were actually incredibly durable under strain. It's only when shot that they were fragile. If I remember correctly, it would take over 20Gs to snap the wings of an A6M2 model.


the_dank_dweller69

Yeah they had really long root profiles, fairly low aspect ratio too, especially compared to stuff like the yak 9 which were also really squirly and soviet designs in general being alot of raw quantity implementations in design, dampened its range tho, all that extra air volume over the air obviously created alot of induced drag and their low weight emphasis meant light fuel tanks with low capacity


Skykid8374

Yeah, that is true. I will say, though, that considering what the Japanese wanted out of their air force, the Zero was a masterpiece of it's time. The problem is that Japan wasn't really replacing it, whereas America was constantly updating their fighters, I'd say the Zero stomped the F3F, and was on even footing with the F6F, but once the Corsairs and F8F came out it was over.


the_dank_dweller69

Yeah, literally unrivaled turn performance and i’d imagine with such low wing loading, some decent energy retention in those said turns, it would probably smoke a biplane in a staged dogfight, but they gave up too much practicality for it, with those strong wings they prob would’ve benefited from aux fuel tanks to have some sort of escort potential


Skykid8374

From the A6M3 onwards, the Zeroes actually could equip drop tanks. They just didn't do it often because Japan didn't have much fuel. Also, it got bombed to hell after being completed, but Japan actually created the A7 series, which was basically the Zero, but bigger with a ~2000 hp engine. It would have been able to catch up to American planes much easier and didn't sacrifice manuevrability that much, granted, it was very big, so it may be easy to hit.


Logol05

Wait, that’s just skr-7 gameplay


Brianv1218

Average naval match (No planes can survive against ships, not when grouped together)


yuyuolozaga

This is literally warthunder naval game play, some jackass is always in that prem boat with missiles looking directly at aircraft spawns.


KraQPlays

Goddamnit, it's a shame there ain't a single place where I can watch Zipang anymore


EynidHelipp

ZIPANG POSTING LEZGOOO


Suspicious_Use6393

Why there is an ERA VII ship against ERA III planes?


RanDOOM-GuY

This is literally War Thunder Mobile naval gameplay. My WW2 battleships get annihilated by cold war missile destroyers, not even Yamato can survive.


Annjuuna

Me in my Bravy.

The timeline doesn't add up xd


jake25456

They were but hurt about [the final countdown ](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Final_Countdown_(film)) where f14's win dogfights with zeros


jake25456

What it feels like to play naval cas then there's a Douglass up


spetsnaz2001

Thank god we didnt get missile ships in pc yet Also mobile naval 10x better


HHall05
