  1. A nav weps person did a post on the speeds. Did not show calc. I believed the result to be calculated
  2. I'm saying it exists with confidence. @A. T. Mahan I actually do know that, but is it really that pertinent?
  3. I was actually joking. I really enjoy reading the articles here, and if I could be entertainment for the well studied, I would try to render assistance to some degree. You can google it and find it I think. Talking about the Yak specifically.
  4. Around lunch time till 2 hr later* Inb4 make alternate account for the sole purpose of baiting you to post.
  5. Lol I could make a claim just for the heck of it. Msg and GiB then I actually say. I really like reading this forum. I suppose I turned into shark bait but alls well that ends well right? I (hopefully) served to some benefit. Because I am freeloading off your postings. EE transformed me into a Soviet tank enthusiast already.
  6. This is the deepest I go with Japanese WW2 tech, so I don't have anything to talk about Japanese small arms. Full load & shallow water or? Conditions not stated
  7. T/W does not transfer directly into speed. Iowa has issues going faster than 33 at combat load, at sea, sustained. Azumazi (WT F) made that claim or some variation.
  8. It turns out you can make the Yamato go pretty fast too, by running in shallow water.
  9. I'm on a phone so bear with me. And New Jersey can't do 35 unless in Shallow water and on lower load. TDS designs on Japanese ships tend to be shallower and more conservative, to say nothing of the quality of each design. Why would Yamato run? I'm not claiming otherwise: I am skeptical that the advantage in adjusting for pattern will change much. Night fight wise; doesn't Fischer claim Yamato has night vision RF's? The world wondered. What really happened at Samar.
  10. I explained that already. If you cheat in shallow water and not full load, you change the speed.
  11. Last is a hydrodynamics calculation? I will have to check again to give you link. In reality it is unimportant for a BB duel. Fischer Archive being down is handicap play nice (jk I be fuked) That would be if you knew your enemy was OP, you would run away. You would probably notice once you entered visual range how in trouble you would be. F1M2 is superior to OS2U Kingfishers.
  12. Later models like Ki 84 and N1K, are superior to Zero are they not? Because Russian plane uses inline, so less drag. Japan does not try so much. Climb rate, energy retention, acceleration, roll rate, turn rate, are important. To a point but the acceleration is very important in that, no?
  13. BB duel* Yamato more maneuverable and loses less speed in turn. Gunfire negligible effect at 30 km except for wasting shells. (Most miss)
  14. Robert Lundgren the World Wondered has an expansive analysis. Fischer archive unavailable. Naval Weapons You use the Fischer Archive, and Naval weapons.
  15. Engine is too weak & even weaker at alt, even with "better" planes Japan cannot fix disproportionate kill ratio. Product of communications, pilot skill, and compounding issues. Is that not so? Or is there a genuine technical unsolvable disadvantage with the Zero?
  16. Dodging isn't really feasible. BB to BB they would close range and exchange fire. Battleships would close to shorter ranges for fire effectiveness.
  17. 1: I would like to see that, I believe you. 2: Except Yamato actually did do that. Samar is proof of it. 3: Answered 4: Doesn't Yamato's loading system have a few degrees of leeway? Otherwise, I understand 5: It's not DP in the sense that it lacks AP and raw power. 6: Wrong way around :/ 8: With Iowa's lack of powerful secondaries, and ROF advantage shrinking the greater the distance, does it not go to Yamato? 9: But in a duel all he can do is run. Ok. Yamato has some degree of effectiveness at night but I think it would lose then, yes.
  18. Yes, I did conflate them. They weren't a knot faster lol The Russians couldn't make their maximum speed because they have traveled around the world, and their ships were poorly kept (again traveling). They have little to no practice for a while and then met the Imperial Japanese Navy. The Japanese navy trained extensively and waited. The Russian Navy didn't deviate from path and took terrible losses. The result was Russian gunnery was not very accurate, nor could they reach their paper speed. The battle ended in catastrophe. FCS was covered in the Fischer Archives. It's completely capable of generating the necessary fire solutions. Aside from that, Battleships tend not to make so many maneuvers in duels.
  19. It's hard to give specific articles when I can't access the articles online anymore. Are they blocked in other countries now? Or are they actually down for maintenance?
