hi everyone in the last installment we
told you about the US check tree today
we'll focus on the Imperial Japanese
Navy number one enemy for the US Navy
Full Ahead

between World War I and World War II two
major treaties were signed the
Washington Naval treaty and the London
Naval treaty these treaties
significantly limited Naval Construction
in the first place they placed limits on
the maximum displacement of ships and on
gun caliber the Nations that signed the
treaties had to find new ways of
enhancing their fleets in the 1920s and
1930s the Japanese Navy was relentlessly
preparing for war against its powerful
rival the US
Navy Japanese Naval Engineers came up
with the concept of qualitative
superiority assuming that in the event
of War they might not be able to
outnumber the enemy the Japanese tried
to equip every warship with as much
Weaponry as they could
[Applause]
Japanese ships can be divided into two
types some ships such as battleships had
heavy Armament and big guns other ships
such as destroyers and cruisers had
Torpedoes good speed and
maneuverability let's have a look at the
Japanese ship classes separately and
compare them with their American
counterparts
starting with
destroyers Japanese destroyers were
designed for aggressive
[Music]
tactics they have relatively weak
anti-aircraft guns and primary Armament
guns that cannot ensure victory in
battles against American destroyers of
the same tier but their torpedo Armament
is very
powerful Torpedoes Torpedoes are a
completely different story on average
Torpedoes of most navies had a maximum
range of about 5.3 miles whereas
Japanese Torpedoes could travel far
longer distances of up to 10.7
miles that's comparable to the range of
primary armorment
guns destroyers in the top third of the
Japanese Tech Tree will be equipped with
the famous long lens
Torpedoes these Torpedoes have a
diameter of 24 in used compressed oxygen
in their propulsion and were the most
powerful Torpedoes of World War II
[Music]
Japanese Cruisers carry Torpedoes too
while the Americans almost gave up on
Torpedoes on their Cruisers the Japanese
tried to use Cruisers displacement to
the full as a result they packed their
Cruisers with weapons offered at the
expense of the ship's armor
anti-aircraft defense and sailor living
conditions but it was worth it Japanese
Cruisers dominated the
if you ask me which class is the most
powerful in the Japanese Fleet I would
say
Cruisers heavy guns combined with
Torpedoes is a deadly threat to the
enemy and they're very beautiful
too my favorite Cruiser is
Mami especially when she carries 6in
guns her 15 guns were divided between
five triple
imagine the hail of fire she will
unleash on her
adversary next come aircraft carriers in
the history of Naval Warfare there was
some dramatic Jewels between Japanese
aircraft carriers and their American
counterparts training the aviators for
Japanese aircraft carriers took a
considerable amount of time and wasn't
easy after the Japanese lost most of
their aces in 1941 in 1942 the Imperial
Japanese Navy began to lose
ground in contrast to reality Japanese
aircraft carriers in World of Warships
won't be inferior to their American
counterparts American aircraft carriers
have more powerful anti-aircraft guns
and boast better survivability whereas
their Japanese counterparts can operate
more squadrons this will add a certain
variety to the game
play from the battleships of World War
one to the greatest ever Battleship the
legendary Yamato the battleships of the
Imperial Japanese Navy were among the
best warships of their
time Yamato is positively a Top Choice
when you need to hit heavy armored ships
Yamato is a Top Choice when you need to
cause maximum damage Yamato is heavily
armored Yamato also has the biggest
immunity Zone compared to other ships in
the game and vice versa any ship in
World of Warships has the smallest
immunity Zone when it's under Fire from
y guns as a matter of fact almost the
only adversary a Yamato needs to worry
about in World of Warships is another
Yamato you can defeat a Yamato with
Torpedoes you can sink her with bomber
attacks and you can hit or destroy her
with heavy artillery fire but if you're
going to try any of those remember that
it will take lots of time during this
time the team that has Yamato on their
side can do a lot
[Music]
the Japanese Tech Tree is based on the
same Principle as the American Tech Tree
whatever the ship class when a player
moves to the next tier they get a new
more advanced ship for instance you
cannot move to tier three without having
researched the previous two tiers you
should consistently earn experience and
research every ship of every tier
enhancing the ship's performance
capabilities and Armament if we are to
compare classes it should be done on a
ship by ship
basis the Japanese best in class
destroyer shim magazi carries 15 torpedo
tubes in triple
mounts at the time of World War II this
was the most powerful torpedo Armament
ever used on
destroyers one would think it's as good
as it gets but then there's life Cruiser
kitakami among other Weaponry She
carries 10 quadrupled torpedo tubes
loaded with the famous long lances in
theory this Cruiser can fire 40
Torpedoes simultaneously in reality
kakami torpedo Salvo just wipes the sea
clean of
enemies it may sound a bit subjective
but when it comes to defining the
strategy for Japanese
ships we can sum it up as Hit and Run
you'd better not leave Japanese warships
unattended in a battle or it could lead
to serious trouble usually they fall
prey to enemy aircraft as their weak
anti-aircraft guns leave them no chance
of survival this goes for any ship class
whether it's a battleship a cruiser or a
destroyer try to use team tactics try to
cause the maximum damage possible with
sudden attacks and try to avoid
exchanging gunfire for long periods of
time make a strike launch Torpedoes fire
a few salvos with your main guns and
fall back as quickly as possible you can
hide behind Islands or release a smoke
screen and get out of direct visual
range these are the most successful
military tactics for Japanese warships
the Japanese are experts in Surprise
attacks use
them to understand and experience the
play style of Japanese warships
firsthand you should begin with training
battles and try out all of the ship
classes destroy it Cruisers powerful
battleships and aircraft carriers as
soon as you get the hang of the overall
approach you can settle on the Japanese
ship class that suits you
best when I want to play at a steady
place I choose a batt ship batt ships
are generally heavily armored and carry
powerful ghosts you can cause
significant damage and survive a long
time when I want intense gam play I
settle on a destroyer for now Japanese
destroyers are the swiftest warships in
the game at the same time time they
carry powerful torpedo Armament they're
capable of causing Major Mayhem Behind
Enemy Lines if I choose Japanese
Cruisers I need to remember that unlike
American Cruisers they always carry
Torpedoes this makes their gameplay
quite unique now it's not only about
firing guns it's also about positioning
attack your enemy with Torpedoes fire a
few salvos and enjoy the outcome
there's no just say explore your ships
they are very exciting Japanese warships
are quite unique they have a special
play style know the strengths of your
Japanese ships make use of them and win
your battles good luck
