Battleship Yamato

Will the actual event when yamato was sunk by american aircraft be scripted into the singleplayer or a mission?
and will we be able to encounter yamato on patrols before her sinking and possibly alter history by sinking her first :p

I think that's outside of the SHIII range, read the GWX manual

AJ! · 01-02-07, 09:47 AM

?

I was talking about SH4

Sea Wolf · 01-02-07, 10:11 AM

oh right, we're in SH4 forum, ooops

well, umm, I dunno

I'd say it's highly likely. I have no idea what they're planning, but if there will be single missions depicting famous encounters, then Darter and Dace's engagement with Kurita's Center Force in Palawan Passage is sure to be among them. I doubt her actual sinking will be in there however. I don't forsee a final sortie to Okinawa for Yamato being programmed in to the campaign, but you never can tell.

I see no reason why Yamato wouldn't be in the campaign, but unless they change the way the campaign works, you'll likely see her even after she's been sunk. And again, and again

In one of my SH1 campaigns, I sank four Yamato class BBs! But strangely, in all my campaigns, I only came across the Shinano once.

A little fact about the Yamato:

When the Yamato fired its guns any crew outside the main body had to be encased in steel because of the shock of the gun. So all AA positions were in turrets before more were added but this meant that the crew manning them had to leave the deck before they fired. Check wikipedia for more info.

Yeah looks like they have done a great job representing the cannons on yamato. If you look at the screenshot of it fireing the blast in enormous :p

After the fight with Bismarck, HMS Rodney had to go in for a refit. The shock from her 16" guns buckled hull plates and flooded the torpedo room, among other things.

Big guns make big boom. I'm also happy to hear that Yamato's guns have a large visible blast. I hope it's true of others as well.

I doubt the actual sinking of the Yamato will be in the SHIV campaign, as she was sunk in 1945 and the dev team has clearly stated that the campaign will be cut off in October of 1944.

Yamato's last fight:

One trivia

I forget detail,
in around 1944 Ymato had took one torpedo from enemy submarine,

MOST OF CREW didn't notice, they attacked by torpedo.
They felt a little bit impact , but they thougt it was nothing....
Because Yamato function normal.

So even if we can find and chance to attack YAMATO,
it will be very very very hard to sink.

CV Shinano was different situation, Shinano was not completed every
equipment. Even on the way to Kure base from Yokosuka base,
a lot of factory labor on board and working.
Crew were not enough trained.
So shinano was very easy to sink.
