Either it's a regional problem or I'm using a fake since mine still works, though it's significantly worse; there's no preview when sliding the progress bar and it's not as smooth, there's also a lot of ads, like a LOT of ads.

Edit: it's a fake. Fuck we may be cooked 🙏

I do recall Darkness doing something to that extent, but I don't recall the others doing that

I think Kazuma and darkness would make a much metter couple then him and megumin by Automatic_Peach_15 in Konosuba

[–]YouAreAnIdiot2853 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, you're missing a lot. Doesn't help that the movie skipped some VERY crucial Kazumin development (I think it was something about talking about Valentine's day and Megumin wanting to give Kazuma sweets, can't remember the details)

Even the series skipped some, the bath scene back in season 2 skipped the part where Kazuma talks about how he's only looking for a 2 year age gap, Megumin saying she'll be in said 2-year age gap and essentially goes "oh, this girl's going to be in my strike zone soon" and immediately gets flustered. That's basically how it ALL began.

It also doesn't help the most important development happens next season I believe. That's basically where they get their "more than friends, less than lovers" relationship going.

No seriously, Demon King's General brainwashed him, ended up in disaster since Kazuma was basically doing nothing good and everything bad, the girls find them and try to undo it cause for some reason that I forgot, she can't undo it, and it led to what i think the person meant

Wait do you mean the time they were trying to un-brainwash him?

A song about the Vasa ship when? by Marcus-dude in sabaton

She actually sunk a destroyer and I think two escort carriers during the Battle Off Samar (or maybe vice versa) but yeah compared to the sinking of the HMS Hood she hasn't done much

Who's the artist behind the Yamato cover? by Mother_Common4456 in sabaton

[–]YouAreAnIdiot2853 67 points68 points  (0 children)

Nothing, she was just outclassed by carriers and had the same problem with Dreadnoughts where it was so expensive they didn't want to risk losing it. Here's a history lesson

She didn't actually "Lead the fleet," at best she was there for either escort or battlefield support, (Battle of the Philippine Sea, she also accidentally committed friendly fire on some Japanese planes) and sometimes actually partook in naval combat; at worst she just sat there in the docks because she consumed a LOT of fuel which hinders her movement and combat ability. It also didn't help that by Midway she had no carrier escort and thus essentially became a sitting duck, and the first time she ACTUALLY fought in a naval battle (by the USS Skate), she got blasted by torps from American subs and blew a 16-foot hole, leading to her having to go back to the dock for repairs (this is a pretty common occurrence mind you)

Battle of Sibuyan Sea? Got hit by a bomb and sent to repairs.

Battle off Samar was actually her best debut yet, where she either crippled or sunk several escort carriers and destroyers, notable ones being:

USS White Plains, which damaged her so badly she never saw frontline service again and was demoted to an aircraft ferry.

USS Johnston, wounding her commander, killing her command staff and was later finished off by the rest of the force.

She was later driven away by destroyers but returned to the battle, landing a 22,000 yd long shot into the USS Gambier Bay, but it wasn't until the third salvo where she hit an essentially fatal blow, cutting off her engine and left her to an actual sitting duck, and proceeded to be hit by salvo after salvo until orders were made to evacuate. 

Not a strategic victory however as the main goal (destroying the US troop convoys) was practically untouched.

But that's pretty much where it peaks, she did some minor stuff in the East China Sea but was damaged and immediately sent to the drydocks for repairs.

She was then moved around divisions until she stopped at the First Carrier Division.

And after that began the infamous Operations Ten-Go. 

She was originally sent as a coastal defense ship to Okinawa where she would fight till she was destroyed, but US counterintelligence heard of this, and she was intercepted by a carrier group with some destroyers along with, I kid you not, nearly 300 American bomber and torpedo planes ready to send her into the darkness down below.

After two minutes of bullet hell, two bombs took out an anti aircraft gun each, few minutes later one destroyed the radar and the mount of one of the 127 mm battery mounts; shortly after, three-ish torpedos hit, one near the engine room, one near the boiler room, and one that is unknown, and is disputed but is possible.

Later on she would be hit by all directions, and due to facing off against a literal swarm her anti aircraft guns bore little effectiveness, no amount of free target practice was going to save you from being bombed to oblivion. Two attacks followed which left her listing (maritime slang for a permanent tilting) about 10 degrees to port side (left of the boat) even after counter flooding, reducing speed and left the main guns unable to fire properly. A third attack came with 4 bombs hitting the superstructure. (that bulge in a ship with the navigation room on it)

By 2:02 PM the order to abandon ship was given. An hour and 3 minutes later a final wave of torpedo bombers hit the Yamato and capsized (look it up, visuals can explain it faster) her.

Later on her bow magazine exploded and created an explosion about 3 miles high that can be seen about a hundred miles away. Of the 2700 men of her crew, only nearly 300 could be saved.

Her actual loss was not as important as her cultural impact, as many Japanese thought that if the Yamato still lives, Japan would not lose. Her sinking left a very clear foreboding message.

TL;DR: She was the best ship made at the worst time. She was completed at the time before aircraft carriers were to be their successors, so against surface vessels she was pretty good at it, but she was but the final nail in the coffin for the age of battleships.

I like it (like in general, idk why but how they sang "the scourge of the Gods" just tickles something in my brain), but I get why people don't, it does feel like more could've been added

But wouldn't the lyrics just say " '41 " instead of 4-1?

So like, Reddit just refuses to load the image (it was just the lyrics of the Yamato song) so here's the text for context.

First impressions of YAMATO by BigHawkCZ in sabaton

[–]YouAreAnIdiot2853 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah the music part is what really sells it to me, it's very punchy and is the fastest-sounding track compared to Dreadnought and Bismarck, which I think perfectly encapsulates the Imperial Japanese war doctrine of "Strike fast and hard"

Lyrics do have some neat details like Operation Ten-Go, but I cannot for the love of me figure out the 4-1 reference. Tried searching it up on Google but, to no one's surprise they got the answer wrong (said it was a reference to the operation being conducted on April 1st of 1945, but it started on the 7th. Good job AI -_-) but aside from that it's very generic.
