At least the Yamato didn't get sunk by outdated biplanes Edit: I like both ships, but they were designed different from each other so it can be difficult to make a good comparison.

​@@NeonColor42 Yamato It was sunk by more than 200 American aircraft and the Yamato was covered by seven or six destroyer ships Ja the Bismarck The biplanes were outdated even one more torpedo by a stroke of luck hit one of the steering rudders of the Bismarck causing the Bismarck to kept going around in circles making the British ships (As far as I know there were 3 battleships if anyone can tell me Corrigan please) So p Bismarck was massacred by the British he was damaged because of the battle with the HMS hood and now he was with the rudder damaged so the Bismarck could not escape from the enemies the way was to fight until death that we know that on that day it had its shipwreck

Add the guns on top of that armor you get a monster two monster if they fought side by side in any ww1 battle somehow their enemy wouldn't even know what hit them

Yamato battleship is like a sailing chad

Yamato rules brute strength and durability Bismark has an upper edge in speed and manuverability(the 2 reasons its feared so much in ww2 going as far as destroying the pride of uk hms hood)

Until you realize the that germans planned to build a super battleship bigger, better, stronger than the bismarck and is meant to be equal to yamato THE GLORIOUS H39 SUPER BATTLESHIP (sadly they aren't built) but yeah if they're built yamato is fcked

Yamato sank more ships than Bismarck

She participated in the Battle of Midway before retreating, while also participating in the Battle off Samar, where she sank the USS Johnston.

@@doLPhann there was records saying it had a ricochet effect in some parts of the ship

​@@doLPhannit was absolutely pure luck. No battleship in WW2 got more than routhly 10% hit chance at standard battle ranges, at the already close range Hood got sunk (14km) you might be looking at a 15% hit chance. With those hit chances, nobody is able to aim at one specific part of the enemy ship. You are lucky if you hit it at all. Bismarcks hit on Hood was pure luck, it has nothing to do with good aiming.

Thank you! Someone who understands!

@Napoleon1540 we all know that 1 modern ship can sink an entire fleet but i think the design of those ships are pretty good but that's just my opinion I was I'm just some dumb ass who spends an ungodly amount of reading about ww1 and www but if you like modern ships that's up to you I ain't judging no one because of they like something else then me

Imagine an unknown German experiment, ala, the Philadelphia Experiment, and completely invisible to modern detection, appearing in the Atlantic after 80 years and determined to resume its mission to destroy Allied commerce.

@@ddland45 now THAT sounds like a hell of a good story you got talent my man

@@Fumo_Crusader I still prefer the navy confrontation in the past for it’s battleships and surprise attacks without the enemy having radars and missiles. Yamato is my favorite by far and I just love how the Japanese fleet compensated quantity for quality, which gave them a chance against the power of a country with a more developed economy. However, missed opportunities and mistakes in planning and how to use their powerful and amazing weapons where made and that’s why Japan lost the war in the pacific against the United States.

Of course it will

Not really, Yamato was superior in most major aspects, it would be a slaughter. Bismarcks armor has no chance to stand up against Yamatos guns, so any hit Yamato scores midships will penetrate deep into the turrets, magazines or machinery spaces, crippling that section of Bismarck. The opposite is the case for Bismarck, her guns fired very light shells, which lost penetration power fast over medium to long range engagements, the chance that they would be able to consistently penetrate Yamatos armor is very, very small (I am talking about standard battle ranges from 15-20km here). In terms of fire control, both ships are routhly equal. Both ships had excellent optical fire control systems, which could find the range within two salvos, even at distances of 20km. Yamatos systems were able to get the exact range on targets 30km away at the third salvo. Both ships got search and fire control radar during their careers, but Bismarck got it earlier than Yamato. Both radar systems were inferior to allied systems, and both systems were routhly equivalent in accuracy to their optical fire control systems. Yamatos early radar was inferior to Bismarcks, her late war radars were routhly equivalent. Theoretical reload times are actually not that relevant, because in most cases ships would not fire more than one salvo per minute anyway, unless the range was already very close. It is always the circle of fire, wait for the shells to land (shell flight time was usually over 30 seconds up to 50 seconds at long range), make corrections to your aim which takes another few seconds, then fire again. Bismarck is often credited with a theoretical 20 second reload time, but she actually broke her reload systems during training when she achieved that, which lead to a 30 minute pause in fireing, and thus an order to never fire that quickly again. You really do not want your reload systems to break during a prolonged firefight. Also you always have to wait for the slowest gun to finish reloading anyway. In therms of speed, Bismarck is obviously faster than Yamato, though the 3.5 knots difference is not enough to fully dictate the battle (meaning she can't close the range fast enough before she gets hit many times, and she can't flee fast enough after receiving major damage). So if those two would fight against each other, both would start getting hits in with the second salvo, and from then on get a hit every minute. Yamatos shells would be able to cripple Bismarck with ease, while Bismarck need a lot of luck on her side for her shells to do significant damage. Bismarck likely will have lost the fight and will be combat ineffective within 15-20 minutes. So no, the battle would not be legendary. Bismarcks combat capabilities are often over hyped, while Yamatos capabilities are often underhyped only because of her not that good radar systems (remember, radar only gives you the range to the target, the actual physics in hitting the target don't change between US ships or japanese ships. The biggest advantage of radar is being able to see through smoke and darkness).

In fact, the Yamato was equipped with overwhelmingly superior weapons and armor. He also has a built-in aircraft launch system that can be used to point targets beyond the gun's range. The only people expecting this video are Bismarck fans. This is consistent with most of the comments supporting Bismarck, even though it is irrational. For me, Bismarck was not even a suitable opponent. Call iowa boat. LoL

@@Kefp_mimi the aircraft catapults aren't really anything noteworthy though, as all new battleships from all nations had them, at least at the start of the war (they got removed on at least the King George V class mid war, since they weren't really needed anymore thanks to better long range radar, and removing them allowed more AA guns to be fitted).

@@xxnightdriverxx9576 LoL No The aircraft launch system was never removed. It only shifts to the burden of other ships such as aircraft carriers or coastal bases, and so on. However, Yamato is a battleship designed to be completely self-contained.

And your saying Yamato didnt?

@@KLT2627 Sort of, But yamato had a lead because she was surrounded by other japanese and they could've helped, She was also attacked by smaller forms of transportation. Bismarck was put up against one of the largest British battleships of the time, Especially hood.

@@sonjawalker1977 i guess that’s right, although I must say eventually Bismarck was sunk by some simple old, outdated airplanes. Not the main reason but still. Both ships had a struggle fighting airplanes.

@@KLT2627 Bismarck was not sunk by biplanes, but rather crippled due to a very lucky torpedo hit on her rudder. Bismarck also got trolled by Polish Destroyer, ORP Piorun, when the small polish destroyer kept signalling “I am a Pole” at the German vessel. After Bismarck and piorun failed to hit each other, the British Battleships, King George V and Rodney, would bombard the Bismarck to bits. The “King of the Ocean” would fail to score any hits on any warship after Denmark strait, before being sunk by one of the most powerful navies at the time

@@zornxottx yea I know the story of the Bismarck. I’ve read many documentaries about the ship. I also said *not the main reason*. I never meant to say that planes took him down bc I know that wasn’t the case. The whole point of my reply was that both ships, Yamato and Bismarck, had struggles fighting airplanes.

Yamato is superior than Yamato

@@keannoxyrenceesquivel2349 As Musashi is superior to Musashi.

Me too

only big stupid ship

What about the US destroyer that went up against a huge amount of Japanese planes almost completely alone? That didn’t sink

​@@bagelmaster2498a 2000 tonne destroyer has a much easier time avoiding bombs and torpedoes than a 50,000 tonne battleship. The only capital ship I am aware of that was swarmed by numerous attack aircraft and survived longer than it should have is the battlecruiser HMS Repulse who was with Prince of Wales. Both ships sank in the end after 96 Japanese medium bombers attacked them but repulse dodged 19 torpedoes and numerous bombs before taking one bomb hit to her hangar deck which didn't slow her down but what killed her was an anvil attack of I believe something like 20 aircraft. In this scenario maneuverability was key. That's all there is to it. No amount of armour or AA was saving a ship from the nearly 400 aircraft that attacked Yamato.

even the Musashi crew is more trained than the Yamato crew :v

this is a ridiculously stupid statement, you're confusing experience with training and to that regard the IJN blew millions of yen on training gunnery across its battleships with how well the japanese performed at night battles and how yamato scored a 30km damaging near miss on the uss white plains at leyte its safe to say bismarck would be absolutely hammered just because sabaton wrote a song about it and theres stupid phonk edits on yt doesnt mean it was some godsend piece of engineering, the iowas and yamatos far deserve that title than pissmarck

The Bismarck will win because it's crew members and captain have a great experience in war cause they serve in 1939 to 1941 so even they don't have enough guns to sink the Yamato,they can make an critical damage to the super battle causing it an several problems and heavy losses of the crew

⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠@@Bot2985-n6gthis is a pretty stupid comment. Exactly what experience from 1939 to 1941? The ship wasn’t even commissioned until 1940 August, and Operation Rheinubung in 1941 was the first and only voyage of the Bismarck. A lucky shot against the HMS Hood is all she’s got. The use of outdated incremental type armour resulted in significant waste of tonnage. The Bismarck has thinner amour belt than ALL battleships of similar weight. Simply put, German navy was pretty inexperienced in ship building after WWI due to the treaties, their ship designs before and after the Great War were on totally different level. It’s much better suited to compare the Bismarck to Nagato class, KGV, North Carolina/South Dakota class of battleships, it’s design and capability is nowhere near the Yamato or Iowa. Yamato on the other hand scored a damaging near miss at 35000 yards against the white plains, and that’s the longest damaging shot from gunfire in naval history. This definitely proved the gunnery accuracy of the Japanese battleship.

@@Mcydeez youre pretty darn wrong buddy

Lol.. no, Bismarck had a more painful death. She was bombarded to death until they had to bring torps in to finish her.

Both ships were equal in accuracy. Yamato’s guns were technically more accurate, producing a shell dispersion of only 440-550 yards at her max range of 26.1 miles or 42 km, as a larger gun almost automatically means a longer effective range, Yamato had ripple firing, firing off the middle gun before the left and right barrels on each turret, and her wider width and heavier weight would make her a superior gun platform. Bismarck however, carried a higher rate of fire, capable of firing a 15-inch shell every 20 seconds, while Yamato could fire an 18.1-inch shell every 28 seconds at a flat trajectory, and realistically every 35 seconds past 6,000-ish yards or so, more than making up for any accuracy difference between the two ships.

Funny

Bismarck has 4 dual barrel gun batteries as it’s main armament and Yamato has 3 triple barrel gun batteries as it’s main armament Another way to tell is the width since Yamato is a much wider girl while Bismarck is thin Bismarck also has stripes on the sides while Yamato has a imperial seal on her bow (the gold circle)

​@@neonmem8826 Yamato is actually only one meter wider than Bismarck (36 vs 37 meters). She has a thicker looking form though, as Bismarcks aft section gets narrower more quickly than Yamatos.

@@xxnightdriverxx9576 Ah ok

7|3 ratio is really pushing it for Bismarck, I’d slay closer to a 8|2 ratio. That’s not even mentioning Yamato’s accuracy off Samar. She first scored a debated hit/near miss on the escort carrier White Plains at 34,500 yards, knocking out a boiler and electrical power and damaging the ship beyond repair. She then targeted the destroyer Johnston at 20,300 yards, landing three hits with her 18.1-inch shells and three hits with her 6.1-inch shells, cutting Johnston’s speed to 17 knots and disabling three of her five 5-inch guns, and according to the state of her wreck later splitting her in two pieces near her stern two hours later while under fire from a destroyer line. After being forced out of the battle by destroyer torpedoes for 20 minutes, Yamato targeted the escort carrier Gambier Bay, landing numerous hits, including a waterline hit that flooded her engine room and cracked her hull, immediately cutting her speed to 10 knots as she gradually slowed until left dead in the water, sinking to flooding damage. Finally, Yamato targeted the destroyer Hoel with her 6.1-inch guns, contributing to her sinking alongside numerous Japanese warships.

Of course you do 😐

Yup. And the thing is, she was quite literally the ultimate anti-BB, being able to take on and probably beat any of the Iowa class. Too bad, A/Cs were the way of the future in the end of WW2

@@preussen4650location the bottom of the S E A

Your points are duly noted. But I give the advantage to the Yamato. I do that because of how they were designed. Bismark was meant to raid merchant convoys and was designed to fight if necessary. Yamato was designed to engage the biggest and best of the allied battleships. Advantage, Yamato. More armor, more fire power & basic design. The Yamato's only weakness was air power.

these two ships have insane quality, good range, and thick armor to be honest it depends on the crews of these two ships, and which one has more flirting hits and has done more fatal damage to battle, only one will float and sail until it has history in naval battles 😁👍

11 months?? It's just 6 months Musashi sunk on Oct.24 1944 ,Yamato sunk on April 7 ,1945 ,where do you get 11 months??

Way too many guns…..these things were called battleships for a reason, how is a large amount of guns a con? Yamato was designed to make 27 knots, but canals of 28.2 knots on trials, a very respectable speed of the time. Bismarck was capable of 30.1 knots, that’s only a 1.9 knot speed difference. Yamato was equipped with the thickest armor of any battleship, a 16.1-inch belt, a 7.9-9.1-13.4-inch deck, 22-inch barbette armor, and 25.6-inch turret armor. Her main belt and deck generated an immunity to Yamato’s own 18.1-inch guns from 21,800 yards to 31,800 yards, an the 16-inch guns of USS Iowa from 18,000 to 36,000 yards. Meanwhile, post war testing proved her turret armor to be immune to all naval weaponry at all realistic battle ranges, and it’s safe to assume the similarly thick barbette armor carried the same effect. All battleships were vulnerable to air attack. Yamato’s offense I’ve AA abilities were trash, but her defensive capabilities were the best of any battleship. He deck armor was immune to even the most powerful 1,000 pound armor piercing bombs, and despite carrying a flawed torpedo defense system. She still ate up a torpedo from the submarine USS Skate with no significant damage, and tank 11-13 torpedoes over three hours before sinking.
