YAMATO last journey 

a Yamato Compilation out of the wargaming cinematics and trailer - hope you enjoy. cheers :-)

It was said that when Yamato exploded, her explosion brought down several American aircraft flying over her.

This is very good animation that captures the essence of the battle, interwoven with stock footage from the war, none of which appears to be from the actual battle. That said, some corrections and additional information are in order. The Yamato task group consisted of the battleship, light cruiser Yahagi and eight destroyers. None of the ships were expected to survive the mission. A total of 386 aircraft from Task Force 58 were launched, including 98 torpedo bombers. None of the fighters attacked with rockets, although all Japanese ships were strafed by fighters to suppress anti-aircraft fire. No ships fired torpedoes. The American carriers were organized into four task groups, each with four or five carriers. Carriers operated with about a mile of open water between individual ships. The number of torpedoes and bombs that hit Yamato is disputed. It was at least a dozen of each, and probably many more. The san-shikidon antiaircraft shells fired from Yamato's main battery guns were ineffective. Yamato was still making 7 knots when she began to capsize. She rolled to port 35 degrees while still underway, an amazing performance. After about an hour and a half of battle, she rolled completely over and sank. Magazine explosions broke the ship into three major pieces. The Yahagi sank before Yamato, as well as four of the eight destroyers. 369 Japanese sailors were rescued from the water by the remaining destroyers. 3,063 went down with Yamato, and 1,187 from the other ships. Ten American aircraft were shot down, with a loss of 12 pilots and aircrew. In 1985, the wreck of Yamato was discovered in 1,100 feet of water and photographed. No attempt was made to recover any parts of the ship, nor did the discovery provide any substantial new information regarding its sinking.

Battleship: I'm the true conquerer of the seas!!! Aircraft carrier: I'm about to end this man's whole career.

This is fantastic man! The editing work between the CGI, gameplay, and real film was amazing! I always love to watch your videos this is awesome

This was a great film and seemed quite real and thanks for the high quality~!!

A gifted mind that put this short film together. Just brilliant .

One of the great what ifs of Naval combat. The Mighty Mo vs Yamato.

Excellent animation.and as usual this is what make a label ...made in Japan...a world wide famous

I always enjoy a good cinematic video, nice work man. hoping to see more

先の大戦で亡くなられた統べての英霊に敬礼。

I love how you used the old theme song of Yamato Harbor from WoT Blitz

The U.S. navy sent more than 300 aircraft that just to beat this supership. I can imagine how strong and powerful the yamato

It was a suicide mission the Yamato knew he would not return, his fuel tanks were filled only for the outward journey. Impressive warship with its main heavy gauge batteries capable of firing in vertical anti-aircraft fire. No other heavy battleship could do it. A spectacular colossus.

Maybe being posted on the internet

The perfection of a sword in an era of guns...

this is great! please do one about the bismarck when british BB come out

That was the last possible defence that could be pursued by the Imperial Japanese Navy. The last attack sank her.

Yamato was the largest Battleship, but it was never used for its intended purpose, as Aircraft Carriers had taken the place of Battleships as the main combat ships. At least Americans used their Battleships to bombard island outposts to be invaded, but this one, was always kept in reserve, for a Naval Gunnery contest that never took place.

Americans utilized the weakness of mighty yamato: air attack. Its big gun where so heavy and hard to move that planes easily out paced them. Imagine if it had modern automatic operability.

Respeto a todos los que murieron luchando por lo que creian en ambos bandos

Nicely put together exciting video ... Well done!!! 👍👍👍👍. Great job. Awesome footages!!

Excellent video, although I'm not too sure if the American carriers were that close together in reality. However, it's very well done and rest in peace to all those who lost their lives this day.

I wonder why these ships are not protected with a all around layers of nets, to resist the torpedo attacks. The nets should be hanged some 30 mts away with some cantelever poles and should be dense and in layers. Even if the torpedo cuts of the nets then also the propeller will get entangled in some hanging ropes, which can change their direction, speed or even can stop them. May be this idea seems very ridiculous, but even though, just a thought.

Was about to say, that it would be cool if you put a short video of the actual wreck at the end, and BOOOM... :) Nicely done man. Thumbs up.

I may be wrong here but isn't the first soundtrack from world of tanks blitz yamato harbor?

0:55 this music makes the Yamato very intimidating and threatening!

Japan is building the space battleship Yamato secretly in the sunken underground as a Yamato project.

Hello @panzerknacker can i use this video for my twitch intro? thx!

The loss of that ship was the end of the Japanise navy , it was devastating to the moral of the Japanise people . They knew they had lost the war when that ship sank.

Masterful, sir.

Really beautifully put together, though some voiceover with more explanation of whats going on would go a long way. Well done!

Wasnt this, technically, the only voyage of Yamato? BTY…. I am going to raise her and transform into a space machine and we will be the Star Blazers😁👍

There are anti aircraft cannon's mounted on top of a main turret @1:10 I'm trying to imagine Manning "THAT" gun when the main guns fire. 😳😲😮😨😱😵🙈🙉🙊

The most devastating thing for its survived crews wasn't the sinking of the Yamato itself... But the utter shame, disgust and humiliation they've felt after Ten-Ichi-Go and the War. Most of its survived crews had been either silent or kept themselves hidden from public. Some who were brave enough to live a normal life experienced being humiliated, cursed and even taunted on why they still have the guts to be alive and going out in public. They should've gone with the Yamato... They should've died along with their comrades, they should've never came back to their homeland. Until now, those surviving crews still have those thoughts.

0:50 I recognize that music, that’s from world of tanks blitz!

great video nicely done!

Yamato was strong like hell.

i love this video

グラマンＦ４ＦワイルドキャットＶＳゼロ戦の戦闘シーンは見応え感動しました

The individual radar antennas on the top of the main range finders did not rotate independently...they were fixed in place...

the last journey of yamato is sailing on my screen which played in youtube.....

Very good, modernized armored Samurais with everlasting traditional spirit.

Its overkill. An entire fleet including submarine hunters against one super battleship. Just like the Musashi, but its only a small armada and the Musashi is unarmed. Its shells and ammunitions were unloaded for it is loaded with something else. Now Microsoft Boss is secretly recovering it off San Bernardino Straight, Philippines.

Great CGI one of the best have seen. With air power yamato didn't have a chance .

I hope that the sailors manning the anti-aircraft guns immediately below the main 18" guns had hearing protection.

do one about the yamato turning tail and running after contacting destroyer escorts at the battle of leyte gulf

¡Very nice vídeo, congratulations!

Wonderful vdo for war famous yamato of japan. More such vdo in original war time may kindly be made.

FYI the Japanese aircraft had as much a role in this battle as the Easter bunny and Santa Claus. As well as so much in this video that never occurred IRL battle with the Yamato.

Very interesting Denmark Strait sends love to the Phillippine Sea! :D

Yamato and her escorts were sent on an intentional suicide mission with no air support and the Japanese high command didn't even let the crew know. What were they thinking? They gained nothing by sending this magnificent ship to her tomb

A piece of Art ! The ship launched torpedos don’t fit in to the story . LOL !! BTW those massive magazine explosions we see of these capsizing warships occurs when fused shells on the ready rack fall as the ship rolls over

Yamato came close to sinking several American ships at Leyte gulf. For an unknown reason she broke off the engagement and retreated. She would have been a wolf in the sheep's pen, slaughtering the nearly defenseless transports, but the destroyer escorts and planes from the escort carriers fought fiercely and sacrificed themselves to protect the landing.

WOW thanks for 1.000.000 + views :O

Das grösste Schlachtschif aller Zeiten! Verheizt!!!!! Die Super Yamato Klasse! Die armen Schweine!

Yamato bello acorazado, lo tengo en réplica pequeña

heftiger Kampf, Glückwunsch Yamato

Literally, japan was forging the ultimate sword while everyone was making guns

Now emagine if the Yamato's Primary Armament would also count as AntiAir ingame since the japanese had developed a special Flak Burstshell for the Yamato's 460mm guns called the "San Shiki". on some historical photos from US-pilots you can actually see some of these 460mm Flak Shellbursts. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Shiki_(anti-aircraft_shell)

One problem on initial attack the main 18.1 in guns were firing at incoming aircraft

first an last time the guns on Yamato were ever fired.

Yamato:Naval warfare this is gonna be fun Aircraft carriers:Hahaha think again bitch airplane go brrrrŕrrrrrrrrrrr

World of tanks soundtrack

I read in one book that when the Yamato blew up, her explosion was able to be seen from Japan.

Damn I didn't know it took 3 attacks to stop her. Her captain sunk her so US couldn't get her 1 bad ass ship worthy of respect

Amazing cant describe even if you used trailers from WG and other films it looks epic!! Liked of course and hope you do the same with the Mighty Bismarck!! But please if you do consider send it to WG and most interesting pls do with your comment it will be quite good to see the one from the Iron Chancellor!! Only if you want to ofc!

As always, CGI putting ships into ridiculously close formations. It's an immediate and automatic giveaway.

Yep we lost 10 planes and 13 men .And look at it this way we where at war and the ships where moving at Pearle harbor WE WHERE NOT AT WAR and the ships where all sitting .I know that my cousin who still sleeps on the Arizona and his ship mates looked down at this and smiled .

Nice dude that s how they sunk my BB too

So How Samurai Accurate Numbers of US Bomber Planes Shot Down For Future Banzai Lessons?

Эту неповоротливую лохань жгу по несколько раз за кон своим "Сан-Диего". Только не дай бог бочиной подставиться.

best intro ever gj;)

Anyone know the name all the music on this video?

Yamato is a kamikaze unit I challenged the final battle with decoy! The result is that the two aircraft carriers cannot be restarted. Gave courage to allies in Okinawa! Made it impossible to bomb American carrier-based aircraft in mainland Japan!

I really liked the two parts where the World War I Biplanes attacked. Just which carrier did they come from?

0:50 why is there World of tanks music for a world of warships video?

But what if the Yamato wus no kill?/?? Iz it still nunscopin warsheepz to dis day????

Yamato will always be the BEST bb, When you face It always will cause you gosebumps

かっくいぃぃぃい！

if only yamato was playing eurobeat at the bridge, the captain might have dodge all those torps

Was that one of the most powerful naval battleships sank to the bottom of the sea

They say titanic was a titan but Yamato was Goliath

For the price of Yamato and Musashi the Imperial Japanese Navy could have launched two improved Shokaku class Aircraft Carriers....

I love the intro ... peace on earth please ...

โดนหมู่เรือกระป๋องเเทบฟี่ 3 จ่ม 555

wait why did i saw an omaha class cruiser in this video i tough there whouldnt beany of those cruisers left o_0

Looks like footage from several battles

1:15 勝てる気がしねえ

The US lost 10 aircraft - 6 of those lost were from the massive magazine explosion blast

1 vs hundreds of planes 😱

Never explain how many aircraft KO by Yamato in this battle.

Well one thing is for sure. The Americans wanted to take out Yamato, and Yamato wasn't going to make it easy or quick. In fact like Bismarck Yamato took an INCREDIBLE pounding NO allied ship could ever take before finally being mortally wounded.

depicted with very realistic 3d animation

Wow srsly? Yamato sanked on my birthday *april 7*

More like a fleet of funtime freddy carriers and flying airplanes of bon bon vs foxy, S fleet

Full movie?

The great ship - the ultimate "classic" battleship - took a savage punishment to finally go down. I wonder if any of her punishers could have survived a third of what Yamato and Musashi took.

Comeback is real for the attack of pearl harbor

Mind blowing battleship.!
