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.

>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.

>>159414560
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

>>159414560

FILTHY GAIJIN KYAAAAA

>>159412585
Japanese planes weren't even a threat by late war.

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
>>159415687
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.

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

Hindenburg 105mm secondaries can damage highlighted area. GL hitting that. Same goes for Bismarck rapid fire secondaries. With Bismarck its also nice to know that T8+ BBs are fully immune to those guns.

Why those guns even exist? To magically start fires while being unable do damage anything? Secondaries are meme. German secondaries even more so

A Polish "tree" would consist of what, 3-4 ships?

You could have maybe the minelayer Gryf as a T2 cruiser, and for DDs there's Wicher for T4, Grom for T7 and maybe the postwar Warszawa for T8/T9.

>>159430853
She's
a) really stealthy, stealthier than Mogami+
b) has torpedos with usable arcs that aren't immediately telegraphed
c) a heal, which also means she doesn't have to sperg out over fires like other tier 8 cruisers.

>>159431000
Who has that much time?

>>159430853
>is she like zao but two tiers lower?

She has incredibly good stealth, significantly better than Mogami. Takao's stealth is a little bit worse because she can't use camo.

They have worse gun arcs than Mogami, but much better and more flexible torpedo arcs.

Takao and Atago are also the only non-British cruisers to have a healpot, which means they have really high survivability.

I'll never stop laughing at the Atago owners complaining that people are getting their arguably P2W ship for free.

Better at stomping shitters that still haven't figured out smoke, maybe. Competent DDs will just saturate the smoke with torps, and even mediocre DMs and Moskvas will just go bow on and radar the smoke so you can get instapopped by the enemy team.

It's not like they just arbitrarily draw shit on the schematics and call it a citadel. By and large the citadel hitboxes correspond with the locations of the engines, boilers, and magazines, maybe with the occasional "historical accuracy" thrown in. But its not random or arbitrary.

The only part of US armor making that was really bad was that the USN allowed each company to use their own process, which resulted in quality ranging from 'too hard and brittle on top but so soft underneath that the plates flake off just by themselves' to 'not really all that hard but the hardened part is like 70% of the plate lol'.

The German armor was actually pretty OK, this bad German steel meme is about as true as the unstoppable German tank rush meme.

55% was officially the thickest the face hardening ever went.

Basically they were trying to find a way to destroy the caps of their own AP shells....which turned out to be literally impossible.

It probably would have performed better against other nations AP cap designs though, considering no other nation ever approached the efficiency of US cap design.

Basically what it comes down to is:

"USN Class A plate is shit when being shot at by USN shells, but okay when being shot at by anyone else, thanks Midvale Unbreakable shells"

T8 is one of the funnest tiers you nigger. It has tons of great ships.

The occasional T10 match keeps it from being the best tier, so you're right about that much.

T9 might be cool if it wasn't for half of all matches basically being T10.

And T10 would be cool if it wasn't fucking T10.

>>159454367
I know, I know the 70% were a bit of hyperbole.

They still had some trouble with dofferent companies producing different quality armor, and the Navy was really pissed about that.

Also, the USN were the only ones who performed serious testing of all kinds in the intewar years, they had the 'superheavy' AP shells and extremely hardened AP caps as a result of this.

The IJN did some theoretical work based on their tets in the 1920s and then decided they had found the ultimate truth and ran with it. This made them build their 'diving' soft shells with a tiny AP cap.
That was apparently good enough if it struck armor directly, but if the shell hit anything before it went into the armor it made teh cap fly off and essentially turend the shell ineffective.
It could dive for like 30 meters or so before it tumbled, which is pretty fucking impressive even if it is of very little practical use.

The Germans mainly brainfarted when it came to fuzes. Their fuze design was pretty much the same in 1941 as it was in 1914, which is why so many german shells in WW2 failed to explode or underwent a low order detonation, most famous are probably the 8" hit into PoW's secondary ammo and that 38 cm shell that ended up in her double bottom.

>>159456741

What's that DD to the right? The Kangaroo DD?

I'm pink. Other than the after battle reports, is there a way to view how many battles I have left till I no longer support breast cancer awareness?

I wasn't having any trouble running at 4Ghz with the latest NVidia drivers, and GIMPS worked fine for an hour at 4.2 and 4.4, which should imply it's stable.

I wonder if tonks would crash it too.
