    At this early stage of the war, small Japanese ships didn't have a lot of anti-aircraft guns. That came later in the war.

    Also, Japanese fire control directors for their anti - aircraft guns for their ships were relatively crude. All Navy's around the world at this early stage of the war had fire control director equipment that was relatively crude. The advanced directors came later in the war. Proximity fuses was a game changed for the Americans. Don't know if the British Royal Navy had them or not.

    Bob, you may very well be correct. If they'd sent the entire kido butai against midway they would have had much greater flexibility in loading their decks and been in a much better position to respond to the threat . Spruance's timing therefore would not have caught them vulnerable, and more zeros would have made the difference

      Sometimes the gods of war are against you. They lost for many reasons. But luck was with the Americans. Caught the Japanese with their pants down. Loading then unloading their fighters at the worst time. Then indecisive about what to do afterwards. Americans spotting them first. They were doomed. America was going to win this war one way or another. Yamamoto was educated in America and should have known America was going to fight and never sue for peace. Even if they sank all America's carriers at pearl harbor. America was fighting a 2 front war and beat both sides.

      Maybe. Tha Americans made mistakes too. Battles are usually won by the side that makes the fewest mistakes. That said, it would have been reckless of the Japanese to throw their entire force in at once. Plus, they thought the Americans had only two carriers in the battle, not three.

    I'll say it again: if they had taken Zuikaku with them, crammed with Zeros only, they would have probably won the battle.

      Only if their overall battle doctrine was changed to use them, IJN carriers barely used gun support from other ships, much less combat air patrol from other carriers dispersed over the wide area demanded by a theory of carriers dodging and weaving to avoid torpedoes and dive bombs

    I love how these Japanese downplay American forces. Um…US lost about 42000 compared with approximately 2.1 million Japanese soldiers. Hmmm….who was superior???

      3:09 If you travel to Japan. You will discover that many Japanese are believing a revisionism of history. There is little mention in Japanese schools of the atrocities Japanese soldiers committed in China, the Dutch civilians starved to death and the female Dutch aged 60 to 10 years forced into prostitution as comfort women to Japanese soldiers, the torture experiments done to civilians in developing chemical and germ warfare. How the Japanese were victims of the Allies particularly by the bombing of the Japanese mainland by American firebombing and nuclear bombing. They were the victims and the Allies particularly the American armed forces were the monsters. 😮😮.

    Japanese carriers depended greatly on maneuvering to evade enemy bombs & torpedoes. More than on guns. They were very good at this.
