The Americans Hit Our Battlecarriers Hard All Is Lost (Ep. 6)

Hello war fanatics! We hope you like our videos, it takes a lot of effort and energy to create them. If you would like to support our effort, you can buy us a cup of coffee here: buymeacoffee.com/ww2stories Every little gesture helps!
This is a series of World War 2 Memoirs Of Japanese Fighter Pilots. We'll tell you stories about people who were really important in history, sharing their own experiences from the war. You'll hear about the smart strategies and sacrifices of those who led the first attack on Pearl Harbor, led air groups from carriers, and flew as dive-bomber pilots. Our special series gives a different view of the Battle of Midway, showing how the Japanese saw it.

So does the author. The planes were not on deck at 1020 except for one zero from the CAP. The planes were on the hanger decks. Yes 5 minutes with the planes below decks with oxygen torpedoes on them and bombs on the others and fuel in all of them.

[@kimbaldunsmore4633]

yup. embassenting Mr AI or illiterate bloke, whichever

[@davidelliott5843]

This is the diary of a Japanese navy officer. Many things he said were “massaged” to hide incompetence within the Japanese leadership.

[@carlostrevinotavispgh5840]

Old narration was both hilarious and way better!

🤣🤣🤣🤣 4:00 "[They] seemed to be heading straight for A.K.G.I." No one had better call the Comedy Store, 'cause this AI will put many comedians out of business. 🤣🤣🤣

[@davidelliott5843]

It’s a robo voice delivering the diary of a Japanese officer. He says the Americans deliberately timed their attack for when the carriers would be refuelling aircraft. That’s completely untrue. The air craft had land attack munitions on board. Rather than simply using them, the admiral demanded they were swapped for torpedoes. A job they took considerable time.

[@davidsmith7372]

Doing my part for algorithm. Still hoping for different voice.

[@Wolf-hh4rv]

All of them are annoying

[@Dav1Gv]

It's not the voice or accent it's the continued mispronounciatons made worse when it sometimes gets the same word right and wrong at different times. Also the pace of the speech is not as a human would read the lines.

[@davidsmith7372]

@Dav1Gv very true . 👍

I like to monotonous drone of the narrator. It listen to it at bedtime and fall asleep minutes later. Try it when you can't sleep.

[@ronaldfinkelstein6335]

Thethumbnail shows heavy cruiser Mogami, after being attacked by USN dive bombers. A part of the Battle of Midway this series hasn't mentioned yet!

Most unintentionally HIGH Larry use thing I've heard lately.

[@CB-vt3mx]

love these stories...but the AI narrator needs to go...

[@matthewnewton8812]

But that’s the whole point of this channel, don’t you see? Take somebody else’s content that’s now in the public domain after so many decades, so you don’t have to create the content. Then post it up on KZbin for audio consumers using an AI voice, so you don’t have to reproduce the content either. Every single thing is done for you, and you can legally call it “value added” and make cash off the ad revenue. It’s a genius format, and as soon as the first channel popped up I started noticing 3 others within a few weeks. They all have around 50k subscribers now and growing rapidly. The idea is totally brilliant. But if you’re looking for somebody to read these stories aloud, that’s tens of hours of work. The whole point of this content is that it can be done almost instantly so you can grow your content exponentially and keep old listeners coming back while new ones discover the channel and subscribe. This wouldn’t work economically if somebody had to sit down and read every word of every book. The whole reason this model works is that the AI, even though it’s shoddy and annoying, is good enough that you can forget it’s not a human long enough to enjoy the stories anyway. It’s totally brilliant and devious and evil.

[@marckg6950]

I'm sorry, Dave, I can't allow that to happen.

[@jmrodas9]

Witth te proper resepec, would you do it better?

[@jeffdundon9895]

Im not trying to disagree about the AI..at the same time it does kind of make me chuckle. lol anyway I appreciate the selection of stories and effort it takes..hell and for free too..ty

[@willarth9186]

The Japanese were NOT ready to launch at 10:24am. There were NO aircraft spotted on deck during the dive bomber attack.

[@dickyhoey]

Great stories for a long drive. Kills boredom.

There is more to AI software engineering than pushing text through it. You only have to be English-literate to see this, so I imagine nothing is going to change.

[@KermitFrazierdotcom]

Yes, A. I. Must be trained and that's less coding than coaxing to get the results you want. Interesting the way it sometimes pronounces words phonetically and actually spells the ship's name out.

[@emerald640]

This sounds like the Fuchida narration. In the more definitive history (Shattered Sword) of these events John Parshall and Tully proved through aircraft movement records that the planes mentioned were still in the hangar deck. They were probably an hour away from being launched.

[@bobharrison7693]

Parshall and others say none of the strike aircraft were yet on the flight deck.

[@KermitFrazierdotcom]

This is the account of a Japanese Petty Office onboard and not an American Flyer. The debate rages on...

[@jmrodas9]

Parshal y otros dicen que ninguno de loa saviones de ataque estaba sobre la cubierta de vuelo.

[@Pugiron]

Those were not Battle Carriers, they were Fleet Carriers. Battle Carriers are their half carrier/half battleship failures

[@stephenmelton2532]

The western voice seems to detract from the story. Maybe because this is from the Japanese perspective. The original voice was growing on me I guess.

[@carlostrevinotavispgh5840]

Yes!! After countless hours of listening they went and changed it on us

[@Zerox_Prime]

Despite others' negative comments, I prefer the last AI narrator.

[@WW2Stories1]

Thanks for your feedback, how is this one? This is our first voice.

[@rolandvachon9848]

IMO it's very poor.@@WW2Stories1

[@WW2Stories1]

@@rolandvachon9848 Why?

[@rolandvachon9848]

So may words are seriously mispronounced. Often the same word such as Admiral Nagumo's name is pronounced correctly in one sentence and then mispronounced shortly thereafter in a another sentence. The same occurred with some of the names of the carriers and then some common words of the English language.@@WW2Stories1

[@michaelhill2844]

@@WW2Stories1 Yes, the AI narrator is terrible.

[@jmrodas9]

Debe haaber sido mu y duro para lo oficiales japoneses absorber esta derrota. Y más aún darse cuenta que no había manera algina de recuperar la fuerza perdida. Es interesante escuchar este relato desde el lado japonés, ya que solo había escuchado relatos del lado estadounidense.

[@cjwilliams8350]

This narration is very different from reality.

Soo many mispronounced words.... sad business. 😮

[@user-vj2wt7jh7j]

Creative pronunciations abound, almost humorous!

[@jmrodas9]

It must have been very hard for the Japanese Officers to accept what had happened, and to realize they could do nothing to reverse the defeat suffered. The story, told from the Japanese side is very interesting really, as one is used to listen only American stories of the Battle.

[@mikejones9961]

AI voice needs work, goofy

[@charleshotchkiss1813]

No such word in the title as Battlecarriers - they are Fleet Carriers or Attack Carriers.

[@KermitFrazierdotcom]

This is of course taken from the Japanese Surviving Crew writing of their experiences. That alone makes it worth a listen.

[@CarlGlassmeyer-jj5qw]

I believe a large amount of the misinformation can be attributed to the writers. Those with such limited subject knowledge are the wrong choice for writing the dialogue.

[@Dav1Gv]

Shouln't the cruiser Tone's name be pronounced with the final e accented - something like Toneh?

[@TheLucanicLord]

Walk before you can run, the bot struggles to get English right.

[@AdmiringOceanSunset-sy7ys]

Akagi! It's all over!!! Torpidoe's sunk you? The end??? Roa Aotearoa nui.

[@RalphTempleton-vr6xs]

Worst AI yet. This one mispronounces words in one sentence, in the next pronounces the same words correctly. WTF? if this is the best AI can do, I don't think it'll be the evil master-villian it's been touted to become. With that said, I don't want it in total control of anything

[@KermitFrazierdotcom]

I'm not a coder but back in the day of Win 95, you could parse the phrasing by revising spaces, Commas and Periods This may be something if a learning curve by A. I. to find it's feet.

[@Doc_Tar]

AI needs more work on syl-lab-les.

[@galenhaugh3158]

Pretty soon the flagship was a rowboat!

[@jameshorn270]

text to speech conversion depends on accurate text. Clearly, in this case, the text contains numerous misspellings. On the matter of whether there were planes spotted for launch on deck, I will take the testimony of an eye witness on the spot as against that of a pilot, possibly distracted by trying to ine his plane up on target, keeping track of altitude, and a half mile above the carrier.

[@dellingson4833]

Dear AI voice, i terri-feed @10:38 once at a buffet.😀 Yea the mispronounces are funny. Would would have thunk we'd be at this point.

[@donaldpruett852]

"The BOW" of the ship? Like "Bow" and arrow? NO. Like "When the "bough" breaks...." is the correct pronunciation. Also the "Forecastle" of the ship is the deck at the ships front or Bow (Bough). It is pronounced, "Folks-sul". Not everybody is a seaman. The old saying for exclamation; "Well, shiver me timbers", originated in the days of wooden ships to express the condition when a cannon ball hit a ship's mast and blew it into splinters (shivers) of wood. Just fun stuff.

[@middleclassretiree]

Would probably enjoy this if the apparent AI narration wasn’t so bad

Because their country wanted to rule over all of Asia and wanted to kill everyone opposed to that tyranny. Definitely not honorable.
