Gee, I never really gave much thought to the idea of favorite ships. It does appear that some ships are endowed with more structural details than others, especially at closer range where other ship's details blur or wash-out. I suppose the Furutaka might be one of the finer detailed ships as are some of the DDs (don't recall exactly which ones off-hand). The Takaos are pretty good too. I can't say for sure though (at the moment) which one is my favorite. Maybe the Mogamis?

Yep, I love the Yamato, but I don't think it's the best looking ship.


I've got to agree but with some expansion. I think BB's were the best looking ships overall. I love the way they sit low in the water, looking very slim until you see them head on, and they're as wide as a football field! If this were to list ships in the war (not just the game) I would also mention the Graf Spee, Bismark, Missouri, AZ (even though it was an older ship it was lovely),ECT...Big Battlewagons. Out of all of them, the Yamato was certainly the most terrorible and awesome BB in the Pacific. When I read about our Skippers actually sinking the Yamato in the game I have to chuckle just a little. 16" of side armor going deep below the water line. 24" of armor on the main guns. Overall speed 26 knots. She and her sister "Musashi" were the two biggest BB's in the Pacific. You've got to hand it to the IJN, for inspiring sheer terror, the Yamato was the Biggest, Baddest and Purtyist.

I always enjoy the sight of a fleet carrier.
