  When the IJN Yamato gets added you need to reenact Operation Ten-Go for a historical battle. Can players save the Yamato and <br>beach their ships on Okinawa, completing their mission, or will history repeat itself with Yamato&apos;s death?

  If you are ever going into a ship vs aircraft battle as the ship, always pick the most heavily armed US ship you can. The US Navy had an interesting habit of covering every available inch of deck space in AA guns.

  This should really have been played in the open ocean instead of the San Francisco Bay to give the BB free room to maneuver instead of being sitting ducks.

  I think the Italian navy got the answer to this question in WWII... &nbsp;Edit: The Bismarck wasn&apos;t sunk by a Swordfish, rather one got a lucky hit on it that jammed the ship&apos;s rudder, leading to it being sunk by the guns of the British fleet.

  The key to battleship AA is to manually control the secondary guns with timed/VT fuse shells and let the AI handle the actual AA.

  Muffin: &quot;I wonder why there are so many biplanes hitting the ships.&quot;<br><br>Me: Those are cultured players

  During the Taranto raid the Swordfish flew so low that one returned to base with part of the radio aerial cable from one of the Italian ships wrapped around the undercarriage, Talking about anti-aircraft guns and the Italian navy during an unexpected night &nbsp;engagement between the Italians and British warships in the Mediterranean (which seemed to be the result of both side trying avoid a night engagement) which included ships from the famous Australian &apos;Scrap Iron Flotilla&apos; one of the Australian ships had replaced their British Pom-Pom guns with salvaged and much more effective Italian anti-aircraft guns. during the night battle which took place at knife fight range for some of the ships. The Australian ship found itself sailing between two larger Italian warships, with nothing left to loose the Australian ship opened fire with everything it had including the AA guns. The Italians used a very distinctive three colour trace set up on their AA guns. The Italian ships seeing this and in the darkness and confusion thought that they had opened up on an Italian warship and ceased firing and mistook each other as British ships firing on a fellow Italian ship and open fire on each other while the Australian ship took the opportunity to get out of there. <br>It goes to show what a confusing thing night fighting could be without access to modern technology.

  The Swordfish didn&apos;t sank it, but they had an very big Part in sinking the Bismarck, &nbsp;a lucky Torpedo hit the rudder, disabling it at 6degrees or Something. When the Royal Navy started attacking it, the germans sank it themselves. The Swordfish or the Royal Navy never sank it directly, they Just disabled it

  As soon as I heard the number of bi planes I emetiutly knew that the ship was toast.

  The Alaska battlecrusier was a formidable ship, especially the AAs
