>ww2>pacific theater>s01e01 opening scene establishes Japanese as fanatical hardcore soldiers>the future prospect of invasion of Japanese home islands gradually built up through the seasons as the final, most brutal confrontation>deep in season 4>for some reason producer tells writers to end the pacific arc early, to line up with the european arc ending at the same time>writers now backed into corner>come up with this bullshit uber weapon>looks like any other bomb, dropped from a single plane, but can destroy an entire city>for some reason writers also decide this weapon is not only op but it can also be mass produced>flashback episode showing how 130k people have been in fact working for years in secret to develop this weapon>130k people working on it for years and the Japanese nor Germans never even got a whiff of itYeah right. They really dropped the ball with this one. I'm fucking done with this show, it's so unrealistic.
>>217073775Gemmy. Laughed at this.
>>217073775That is my wife! Akagi-sama!!Ganbatte!!
>>217073775the sequel bait at the end was pretty annoyinglike they set up the soviets as the next big bad, and then they never bother to make a ww3

>>217074171Cold War nostalgia is back! I hear Russia wants their checkpoint back.
>>217073775I don't care
>>217073775>later reveal that the whole theory behind this superweapon was developed by german jews and an italian who left to america because axis are le evil >the moral of the story is that the good guys always win!
I'm so glad the Nazis and Imperial Japan got BTFO.
>>217050000
>>217073775Yeah when you realize Hitler was going to lose no matter what, it kinda takes away any agency he has
>>217074171at least we got a bunch of spin offs like Korea and Vietnam.
>>217074499I heard Operation Paperclip spin off series delve deeper in the gray morality of situation instead of painting everything black and white
Imagine being a tiny little Japanese "man" and knowing that massive, virile American white men were coming to have their way with you and then have their way with your women afterwards. It makes my j-bean tingle just thinking about it...
>>217074740Did their own gun blow up?
>>217073775Shit wasn’t even hi def and all the color looks off.
>>217073775>wooden flight deckbased
>>217074811Read the filename. I swear, Timmies are retarded...
>>217074773must you, saar?
>it was a dream all along
>>217074719They wore out the jungle trope so hard now it’s just deserts and mountains
>>217074847>jeets are BWCpostersYou wish.
>>217074842You spelled gunnery wrong.
>>217074233I feel like they are going for the soft reboot with digitally deaged actorsNot gonna like I think this is gonna be like the Netflix movie about mafia
>>217074876It's not my file, Ranjesh. Go be retarded with the rest of the Timmies.
The desert/Mediterranean side arc was pretty comfy though
>Japs invade New Guinea to move overland and seize Port Arthur to bomb and possibly invade Australia>their military intelligence is literally based on some pulp adventure novel from some guy who never actually went to New Guinea that claimed that the Kokoda track was a huge valley north to south that you could just waltz through>it actually traverses tropical swamps, snowcapped mountains at insane elevations, rainforests and jungles>send a larger invasion force than the American/British/Canadian invasion of Sicily>the Aussies recruit literal stone-age headhunting cannibals and arm them with automatic weapons>Japanese didn't realize they needed food or water or fuel and end up losing like 90% of their men to starvation and preventable disease
>>217074925
>>217073775>no one is comming to rescue us>no one is comming to reinforce us>we will all die on this island>our goal is to kill 10 Americans for everyone one of us>Us ends up with a 3:1 k/d ratioThe set up for the episode was kino, but the outcome was even more kino
>>217074925>Come up with mystery box mcguffin that threatens the world>Drop the arc completely the following season Kinda tired of this shitAlso >The whole world is just USA
>>217074979Japs should have fought harder. Even with suicidal tactics they just got btfo constantly
>be japanese >never properly apologize for comfort women the most realistic part of this slop
>Taiwan special keeps getting postponed
>>217075018>hey guys why don't we do one of those banzai charges that worked so well in China?Picrel isnt porno, but it is the browning of japan
>Nothing happened in the first 8 months of the shows runtimeDid the writers have their thumbs up their arse?
>>217074861or was it?what a crazy twist
>>217075080>crazy opening episode>8 months of nothing>battle of the coral sea>battle of midwayIt was over at midway and everything else was just padding the run time
>coolest and one of the most powerful plane in the show >barely gets any screentime
>Enemies to lovers political drama set in Europe I would watch it
>>217075140>Doolittle raid>doesn't really do muchA little too on the nose with the naming but a kino heist type episode
>>217075140>picrel had 36k appearancesFucking hell
>>217075398>chews all the scenery in it's path
>>217075140Big plane.
Why did Hitler respond to the aerial bombing of German civilians by the Allies with his own campaign of civilian aerial bombing, instead of focusing on destroying the RAF when they were close to breaking?
>>217076389Hitler wasn't known for his military prowess. He was also a manlet.
>>217076389Bad intelligence reports and Goering's confident assurances
>>217074871Wish they'd do another European land war.
>>217074740Was it supposed to do that?
>>217076942
>>217074940Give me a longer rundown
>>217073775It's just the producers saving the sfx budget for the last episode, many such cases!
>>217077175That's why they used stock footage of nuclear bomb tests
>>217073775>flagship of the fleet is called Yamato>it's commander is called Yamamotowho writes this shit?
>silent but deadly>hunts oceansFuck your stukas
>director leaves out the act-of-war blockade leading up to active hostilitiesgonna need an early life on this one
>>217076389>>217076942If your ideology is based on making things up to feel better about yourself, you will surround yourself with people who just make shit up.
>>217076389>Goering didn't understand the importance of radar>Goering switched to bombing civilians to hasten an end to war he couldn't deliver because he was a big faggot and didn't understand the importance of radar>The brits responded by hitting German cities>Later the US did the same under Lemay>Hitler was so fucked by the time the US war machine was in full swing and moving across the Atlantic that Hitler leaned into magical thinking>So then he unleashed his magical thinking super weapons the v1 and v2 and indiscriminately hit civilian targets>Then German cities got firebombedIt is still known as histories greatest tard wrangling.
>>217078146Radar really did tip the scale really hard on one side for the allied. Pretty much helped the US to butfuck the japanese navy&airforce in to oblivion.
>>217078494American war machine was destroying japanese bugsBy the end of the war the was almost a ton of equipment for every rifle japanese infantry had
>>217078727
>>217078494Nah, not really. Check out https://www.youtube.com/@MontemayorChannel for breakdown of key fights
>>217078727This is a bit misleading....obviously in that situation, the Japanese can disrupt American production...
>>217073775Fuck off baskintranny, go talk to yourself in /nfl/ some more. If you knew anything about nuclear weapons you’d know that fat man and little boy were different bombs and nothing about them was ready for mass production. Hell, based on the inspections we’ve seen Russia and America doing lately I would estimate at least 90% of global nuclear warheads are inoperable or at least incapable of an ICBM launch.
>>217078550>Japanese believe they are dying for a god emperor>they are fighting for his glory and a sphere of influence in the pacific>they are raised to be fanatical in their devotion>throw themselves at machinegun fire in bayonet charges>loseAnd the other side>Americans are fighting because the japs attacked us>they know it's gonna be hairy, but if they can survive they are going to get laid and make a ton of babies, get free schooling and take advantage of the booming economy>win
