We got a terrifying history when Japanese start occupying Indonesia, but we are all know if they fought for their lands and I do respect what the past has passed

People don't realize how hard it is to hit an aircraft with those guns. They showed scenes from the sinking of the Yamato looking as if the anti-aircraft fire was effective, but the huge explosion of the Yamato took out more aircraft than its guns did.

moreover the 25mm type 96 anti-air cannons were especially ineffective, traverse is slow, magazine size is small, small explosive mass cartridge, all of these drawbacks made it basically one of the worst aa cannons at the time.

Most of Japanese AA guns doesn't have proximity fuze. Need to direct contact for these guns to shoot down the US plane.

@@tuntun8935 It’s wrong. Countries that didn’t have proximity fuse used timer fuse. And we’re talking about AA small caliber gun.
At the 2:00 mark,a carrier is going to launch while under attack. Not a chance as it would have to stay into the wind and thus could not turn away from torpedoes or bombs. It would be a sitting duck.
I wouldn't think either side would risk / waste their fighters on strafing runs on well defended capital ships. Attacks were by dive bombers or torpedo bombers (& sometimes by land based hi level gravity bombers, altho these were never successful by either side). Fighters were for combat air patrol, protecting the fleet on defense, or protecting the bombers on offense. Makes no sense to risk trained pilots & aircraft on strafing runs which would reap minimal benefit. Ok maybe in special circumstances like the Battle of Samar, with the US landing support fleet having to take on the main Japanese battle fleet, that was a desperate & unique situation. I don't know what battle this movie is portraying, possibly Phillipine Sea? I see Japanese aircraft carriers with aircraft as well as capital ships defending them so it'd need to be that battle or prior. Yes, yes, it makes for good Cinema, & hardly that many US made war movies are any more historically accurate . . .

Yeah, Samar was a special case. Halsey got suckered and took his capital ships haring off in pursuit of what he thought was the main Japanese fleet. The real threat off Samar was countered by fighters from escort carriers configured for CAP, not dive bombing or torpedo boning, and destroyers, making smoke and attacking with torpedoes and close range engagement with 5" guns. (In one case, a destroyer engaged a Japanese battleship with guns from Mark 1 eyeball range, and survived because the battleship couldn't depress its main batteries enough to target the destroyer. It shot over the destroyer's head). The US ships involved knew it was a suicide mission, but they were the only thing screening the invasion fleet which would have been destroyed and the invasion would fail. In fairness, fighters with 50 caliber and 20mm guns were useful against smaller craft like landing craft, merchant shipping, and light combatants like destroyers. Those had light enough armor that aircraft guns could penetrate and do damage..

The US navy came up with a plan to sink Yamato after summarized the experience in sinking the Musashi (Yamato's sister ship) It was first to clear the exposed AA guns on the port side of the ship (as shown in the movie) then saturate attack the AA weakened port side of the ship, it turned out a great success that Yamato had been sunk way faster than the Musashi (Musashi took 19 torpedoes and 17 bombs to sink while Yamato only took 11 torpedoes and 6 bombs to sink) and with less casualties to the US

@@JimmyKenobi exactly right. AA mounts, by their nature, are open, exposing the crew to light caliber fire. Strafing is meant to suppress AA fire, so the bombers and, especially, torpedo planes, can do their work. RAF Beaufort torpedo bomber pilots figured that out in the Med. To get at the freighters in a convoy, they had to fly over the escorts at low altitude, where they were being cut to ribbons. Bringing some Beaufighters along to strafe the escorts reduced Beaufort losses substantially. A major force in developing these tactics was Pat Gibbs, (DSO, DFC with bar) while stationed on Malta in 42.

In fact, one of the Japanese movies used (The Great War of Archimedes) opens with the Yamato getting sunk and has as its entire premise the fact that battleships were ultimately obsolete (indeed, that particular Japanese film ends by concluding that Imperial Japan was just as obsolete as its flagship, and *needed* to get its ass beat by the allies to realize that).

That's because these movies are stories about how Japanese warships and the people who rode them fought. If the United States made a similar movie, the warship was on the American side, and the attacking enemy plane was on the Japanese side, the Japanese side would have been dropped and the American side would have been portrayed as a hero.
