Anyone else rewatching this after Zulu2scroot managed to be featured again?
Edit: I love that he's complaining about pink players but is missing the point that he is 50% of his teams pink players. He also seems to be unaware that you don't see enemy pink players. (Or am I mistaken?)
oh, he's well aware but instead complains about discrimination xD
exactly why im here lol
Yes. I hope he's been reported. Repeatedly.
You can see enemy pink players if you hover over their IGN at the in-game scoreboard(?) (TAB-key)
oh yes I just realized who Zulu2Scroot was just now!
Who's here from the 'Loser' video to watch Zulu2scroot in the Bismarck? :D
I am :D
I am
Aye!
What d'you reckon about him? Is he a plain moron, or just a troll?
Me
"At some point you have to ask yourself. What does it take to win in World of Warships" hehehehe
~cue nasal, annoying voice~ Actually Jingles, the William Porter WAS a Fletcher-class (probably THE most infamous Fletcher-class for, amongst other things, almost torpedoing USS Iowa with Roosevelt on board).
The Porter class of destroyers was named after two other Porters
Flambass has more base experience than the top winning side...
he had more base XP than the best guy on the wining team !
Anyone else came back to check this real quick thanks to Zulu2scroot making another appearance in Jingle's new vid "Loser" ???
Surprise Surprise, he's rocking the pink name tag of shame here.
@@LazyTestudines and he also came second to last on the team
Yes, yes I did. And he hasn't gotten any better manners and/or language it seems xD
Guess not all people are capable of change, guess their brains are either obsolete or perhaps underperforming
yup
who's here from today's (27 april 2021) video to see zulu2scroot xD
The video is even more funny if you're German or at least understand the language :D The whole cursing and complaining of the friendly Bismarck is embarrasing and hillarious at the same time ;)
So to sum it up for our english-speaking friends:
- First he says, the porgramers are gay because they love pink (and of course he is pink at this moment), are screwing him over and everyone should pass that on. The reason: There's no pink ship on the enemy side.
- Then he says, one should immediately stop playing the game or complain due to discrimination (You know, two pink ships on his side, none on the enemy side) tot he game attendance. And yes, only a German could come up with a agency like a "game attendance". Until that the programmers are, of course, gay ... or, now he recognizes the women in the team, lesbian.
- After this he curses about his 380 mm guns doing no damage, and decides at 7:53 to go away because of that. But before he goes, he has to call somebody (enemies, wargaming, everyone, idk) mean suckers :D This becomes even more funny if you hear what Jingles is saying at about 11:00, because the Bismarck has most likely been afk for about 3 minutes at this (If you look at his straight driving in this time, it's likely). Of course it was no fair fight, because the Captain of the Bismarck just wasn't there.
A little bonus for all Germans watching the video :D
Yeah, that guy basically outed himself as the biggest idiot in the game the first time he wrote in chat.
It gets even more funny when you look up his stats.
4000 battles, 43.7% win rate, 472 average XP.
And 26K average damage in the Bismarck. By pressing W in a secondary specced Bismarck you will do more damage per battle.
My worst nightmare in WoWS are German players in German battleships.
You just need to look at the German forum section, not a single day without some BB Kevin complaining about DDs being OP, CVs being OP, fire being OP, Russian ships being OP.
Oh, and stats don't matter, they only play for fun. None of them could explain me since the launch of WoT how losing 60% of your games while having done nothing is fun.
Just wanted to say the same. More or less. The chat in this game was glorious ^^
Genau so wars! Und der immer nette Mr. Jingles lobt die mutige Bismarck die unbemannt auf die Richlu zu fährt. Das war echt eine gelungene Nebenhandlung.
gnahaha was about to comment on that, too ^^ the chat is ridiculous. he is putting us germans to shame :D
I was the CV player on this game, it was difficult spotting in a tier 7 against tier 9 BB's and CC's. Especially with the enemy CV having so many fighter squadrons compared to my one. It didn't help that the bloody Missouri wasn't playing and then the Bismark flounced off. Still enjoyable having my first mention on jingles and flamboo's channel.
It's the kind of game after which you stare at the results screen, mutter obscenities then switch the PC off for it's own safety lol.
I just came from the newest upload about Zulu2Scroot... It seems like the guy hasn't changed a bit in the last 2 years!
Flambino made more base Xp than the winning team.
#DDlivesMatter
How did you feel after that match btw (you don't have to answer if you don't want to)? Also, have you ever played as a CV ( I honestly don't know), and if you have, have you ever gotten the permanent Shift key bug while playing as a CV? I lost a Killer Whale operation match because of that bug. I at least got some compensation next match, where I did 145k dmg.
I felt great xD
Also yes I play all classes in WoWS and there is too many CV UI bugs to bother playing them anymore. I enjoyed CVs but recently I'm just w8ing on rework (which should fix the UI problem as well) to continue playing them
You know this was a very SPESHUL kind of a team.
Wow, I know I would be frustrated as heck. I guess that's one reason why I sit at a 57.9 % win rate in WoWs *shrugs* Also, about CVs, the only bug I encountered was the permanent Shift key bug, and while it only occurs on extremely rare occasions, when it does I nearly Hulk smash my PC every time. Nowadays, I only play CVs in scenarios, so my poor Shokaku just sits in my port, waiting to go sailing again. I probably should give the old girl a go sometime soon.
#DDlivesmatter
12:27 - Missouri player actually apologised for being afk
Due to the game crashing.
nice spot
khrister or more like the hamsters on WG servers are dying and need replacing.
Thats one slow comp if he couldnt get back on within a min or two of match start.
Silentwolf Sherman it’s possible. One time I spent 3min trying to get back into a match because the game crashed and I have pretty good internet.
This is horrifying after watching latest video - that also includes Zulu2scroot. Doing seriously messed up stuff. Should be banned.
Anyone else come from the reply to the comment on the vid with Zulu2scroot complaining in a CV and suiciding bc of the win rate of his team while he had a 24%?
Tora Tora Tora: I have traveled throughout America they're industrial might is awesome! I fear all we have done is awaken a sleeping giant! Understatement of the Century! LoL
and a brilliant film one of my faves :)
teamstr259 And the kicker is that Yamamoto threatened to quit if he didn’t get his master plan carried out. One that was _guaranteed_ to piss America off to the point where they wouldn’t stop until Tokyo was ashes. He knew better and went for it anyway. That is the height of idiocy, right there.
Jimmy Seaver Makes me wonder how different things could've been. If the carriers had been in pearl like they planned. Things would've been extremely difficult. Im not saying we would've lost. Most definitely would've changed everything.
Jimmy Seaver Umm... what are you talking about? Yamamoto was pretty much AGAINST war with the US, but he was fighting an uphill battle against a very militarist government.
He knew exactly that Japan's chances of winning were slim to non-existent, which is why he famously said that (i'm paraphrasing here) "the only way Japan could win this war would be if we march to Washington and dictate terms in the White House, I wonder if our politicians have confidence that is going to happen".
When the militarist faction overruled him, he came up with the attack on Pearl Harbor as the only strategy he could think of to stave off outright defeat (the militarist faction wanted to "whittle down" the US Fleet as it approached Japan and then finish it off in a climatic battle, a plan which is utterly bonkers) and even so he caution that it would only buy Japan 6-12 months of restpite before the US war machine got into gear.
And yes, he threatened to resign, but only because he knew the choice was between the time bought by his plan and straight up defeat.
It must be heart wrenching to be the ONE sane man in the Japanese high command before WW2, see the inevitable outcome of a bunch of idiots declaring war on your behalf and yet be powerless to stop it...
Only delayed things by about 6 months. As soon as the Essex class start turning up it is all over no matter what, and the US war effort was wasteful as it was, going for both the island route as well as the Philippines (mostly to appease McArthur), a single route was possible with less resources and had been planned for since about 1905 in one form or other, and extensively since 1920 with the Rainbow Plan series.
Came back from the most recent video, "Loser," to watch our boy in the Bismarck.
Sorry but on the "What was Japan thinking?" They were thinking they were gonna get off a series of devastating strikes, cripple American morale and the war would be over in 6 months not 3 and a half years. The idea of the pearl harbor attack was to cripple the US navy's pacific fleet and the harbor itself so that even if the US built a counterattack within those six months they wouldn't have Pearl harbor as a forward base. However the attack was not carried out according to plan, Nagumo retreated before launching the third wave which was intended to cripple the harbor itself. If they had done that, the resulting conquest of US territories and a victory at midway and the Japanese could have possibly damaged US morale enough for the US to agree to a peace treaty. Which was basically how Japan wanted this war to go.
The difference is much more apparent in Essex class aircraft carriers. The IJN finished two fleet carriers while at war with the US. The US finished 23 Essex class carriers alone.
During this fight I was more intrigued by the moronic german Bismark player who spent the first 2 minutes of the game complaining about the matchmaking, calling the devs gay/lesbian and then choosing suicide by Richelieu. In fact, he steered the Bismark right into the next enemy bunch and then refused to fire his main battieries (the shots we see are from the secondaries). He ended up being the second worst player, just above the afk Iowa. ^^
Missouri :)
Yeah, watched in amazement how this guy first revealed he does not understand even a tiny little bit of the teamkill and later damage mechanics and then suiceded. What a moron.
afk missiouri?
Thx guys for correcting me, it was the Missiouri afterall. ^^
(I was too lazy to rewatch the video :P)
he went afk the moment he wrote his last chat message
An answer to question "what was Japan thinking?" is: It's either war, or economical collapse.
Japanese stratefy was simple. They had to obtain resources to sustain its grasp as a significant power over the Western Pacific and China. The position they obtained in worlds view during the 1904-1905 Russo-Japanese war, by defeating the most powerfull army of that time, the Russian Empire Army (and Navy, eliminating both: the Russian Pacific fleet and Baltic fleet). The problem was, Japan didnt have enough resources on its own ground, and China and all of the Western Pacific was carved between colonial empires, like Great Britain, Netherlands, Germany (untill the treaty in 1918) and USA (obtained by defeating the Spain). The war over the Pacific was imminent, and everybody expected it long before WWII. And the only thing they could do after 1939 and Germany's victories over Europe (so eliminating France, and keeping Brits on their toes in Europe) was to eliminate USA and obtain resources from Indochina by force, after USA, Netherlands and GB cut the trade with Japan (as it was an ally of Third Reich).
The thing was: They knew from the start they are not able to win a long war. They didnt have the industrial capacity. The Japanese navy doctrine was therefore: Build capital ships that will be able to win a fight with at least 2 other enemy vessels at a time. So quality over quantity.
Yamamoto said, that if Japan wants to rule over PAcific, they have to eliminate USA from the equation in 6 months. After that, the success was impossible. He wasnt wrong. He knew the war is lost after IJN failed to sink US Carriers in PEarl Harbor.
Funny fact:
When Chiang Kai-shek, the leader of Kuomintang (nationalist movement in China) heard a radio broadcast about Japanese raid on Pearl Harbor, he stood up, light a cigarette and told his wife: "Honey, please play "Ave Maria". Cause he knew, whats going to happen.
Of course this is a very simplified version ^^.
GRonth GrOnth there was a third option which was comply with US demands or appease them. Pride prevented them considering it, but it wasn't just a choice between war and collapse.
if the american aircraft carriers where on pearl harbor when the japanese attacked-as they expected-they could of done much more damage to the american navy and make it much easier for then to take over the pacific ocean. that was their plan.
complying with US demands would mean reverting to situation from before Japanese expansion. Which would mean a social unrest and even quicker economical collapse cause Japan wouldnt be able to afford its army an navy. It would also mean that Japan would accept its role as a de facto being under US indluence. It never was a real option.
Wrong. Japan believed the US would declare war on them if they invaded British Indochina, so they decidedly to strike preemptively in an attempt to stop the US from retaliating. What Japan didn't know is that the US were not prepared to go to war over Britain's dominions, thus the entire Pearl Harbour attack was entirely unnecessary.
All they had to do to actually WIN that war, was if they had burned the oil and left the boats in Pearl Harbour. USA would have killed itself trying to keep its navy going with no oilreserves in place, and no depots. Quite probably Japan could have negotiated a peace with USA if they had managed a surgical strike on the oil-depots without a massive loss of lives.
"The USS Midway aircraft carrier was shot down" why was it flying :) so that's where Shield got the design from.
*Actually, Jingles,* Mogami has 155mm guns, not 152mm guns.
HyperDimension Bliss lol
* Cocks pistol * J-J-J-Jingles?
6.1" for you Imperialists out there ;)
...Wha....?
Actually sometimes I myself do that mistake
*side effect of playing the Old USS cleavland a bit too much (seal clubbing)
For me its usually like if a gun caliber starts with 15 then obviously it should be 152
15:57 "His USS Ranger aircraft carrier has been shot down"
So ships can fly now?
Damn... Flambass failed to sacrifice enough n00bs and dissidents to RNGesus to secure the HARD CARRY dispensation..... So sad.... *sniff* BTW...DDLIVESMATTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No it aint russian oh wait just wait I know what I am talking about
In the name of the german Community i´d like to express how sorry i am for the windowlicking, human equivalent to the feeling you get on your tongue after licking a fully charged battery, in the Bismarck.
As much as i would like to assure you that these people are the absolute worst, lowest 5% of all german players i am afraid they are much more common than we´d like them to be and they seem to be resistant against all attempts to educate them, pls send help if you can.
o7
our retards are truly the most special ones.
Never played this game but just listening to Jingles talk is good enough.
Understand that things happen and the need to AFK sometimes. At this point WGing could easily replace these AFKs with AI ships after a set amount of time. We have seen the math from previous videos that a team is down 1 player is at a huge disavantage, and has a much greater chance of a loss.
Pickle P that would actually be a good idea. If no controls are touched for like 1 minute or 30 seconds or something, it becomes an AI ship. Though maybe it should be made so it is impossible to earn a profit, or xp else people can just exploit.
afk in game should get 0 credits & xp and a 5 min cooldown to re-queue for a game imo
If your 1 year old pc bluescreens loading wows you might want to return it and get a working one, because it really shouldn't
because Wargaming is master of spaghetti code. I have had many random crashes with WoT and WoWs on my old laptop as well as on my gaming PC.
The computer might be able to run the game, but if you lose connectivity it doesn't matter...
During the war, the IJN had, at most, 11 carriers, 12 battleships, 18 heavy cruisers, 20 light cruisers, and 81 destroyers.
Mind you, this doesn't account for the different "peaks" of these classes happening at different times.
Jingles posted a new video April 27, 2021 that features a return of the toxic pink Bismarck player Zulu - ua-cam.com/video/4jQmy6Lcvr4/v-deo.html

Another spine crunching carry by Flambass, only came across him once in game....on the other side, I felt a cold shiver down my own spine and knew, just knew that I would end up another notch on his gun belt. I wasn't wrong, but at least I can say I set Flambass on fire and made him work at least slightly harder to kill me than he had to for certain individuals he has played.
Hey 175 Fletchers, 50 Casablanca class escort carriers, 2,710 liberty ships, the list goes on and on
I'm the Missouri on the opposite team! I can say to u with certainty,that if your Missouri wasn't afk,u would have prevailed easily... Whoever has been in the same position as you,knows the feeling... GG sir and best luck with your teams in the future! :D
I guess that answers the question asked at the end:
All you need to win is sinking 7 ships with less than two AFK/TK ships in your team....
Hey jingles. What is going on with the payouts upon battle completion? I have a premium account and for any ship above tier 8 I have not once made money. I have had to pay out. And even when I was number 2 in the battle that we won, with a tier 8 ship, but not premium ship. So what has changed? I have not played in quite some time, and quite frankly if this is the norm now, I will not start playing in earnest again.
i'm going to be completely honest here.
If i was flambass in that match, i would've cried, while throwing my pc out of the 3th floor window.
And i'm a grown ass man.
And probably half of the Japanese tonnage is the Yamato and Musashi

or they could be still watching the video
Userext47 are you questioning the quality of jingles’ videos?!?! Are you saying you won’t know for certain that you will leave a like?!?! To like before watching Is law. TO THE SALT MINES WITH YOU!!! DOUBLE SHIFT.
23 min after 1278 views and 147 likes, how many monsters? but... but what a short time to have 1278 views!
Maybe they were watching it several times to help Jingles pad his Views
To be fair to the Japanese, Admiral Yamamoto opposed picking a fight with America because he knew what he'd be up against. But his government bosses were convinced of their own superiority; they'd beaten everyone else, and they could handle this sleepy overseas power with its (then) outdated planes and battleships. Once he got his orders from on high, all Yamamoto could do was give it his best shot.
Corey Patterson plus, the Imperial Japanese Navy is competing with the Army for funding. With Manchuria and Taiwan (iinm) under the Army's belt, the Navy can only one-up the Army by picking a fight with Murrica.
Not to mention that since the February 22 Incident the army more or less WAS the government, regardless of whom actually sat in the chair.
They hadn't "beaten everyone else". They'd beaten Russia in Japan's backyard, and they were locked in a bloody war of attrition with China. I suppose you could also say that they beat Korea and Vietnam, but that wasn't really saying anything back then. Hell, in a border skirmish in the 30s, Russia kicked Japan's ass so hard that Japan swore off of war against Russia no matter the circumstances.
@@Raptor747 Very good point indeed!
Many top brass in Japan KNEW they could never prevail against the industrial might of the US, being a natural resources poor country. They had intended to deal a big blow and then negotiate a peace favorable for them. In the initial phases of WWII it certainly worked, but to my knowledge they never even attempted to negotiate peace?
But even some of the top admirals warned against attacking the US. Yamamoto studied in the US, in Harward, and he knew Japan could never beat the US in a prolonged war.
So since we've been brought here from the Loser vid....Just out of sheer morbid curiosity, can someone translate his rant in this match, please?
Japan was desperate. Resources, Rivalry between the Army and the Navy, and an economy on the brink of collapse if they don't expand.
Shame their beautiful ships had to be put on the line for that war ;3;
Seen it live, but still enjoy Jingles commentary :)
Hadrien Croubois probably less swearing
If everything would've gone well he wouldn't have scored 7 kills and 300k dmg. It's not that despite that they couldn't win. It's because they couldn't win that he scored those kills/dmg. And it happens to all of us landing in roflstomp matches (which have seen a dramatic rise in frequency of late), there just usually isn't anybody around to carry that hard.
#DDLivesMatter
My yesterday's game: minotaur, 1600 base xp, lost, second on my team 700 base xp...
In the first six to twelve months of a war with the United States and Great Britain I will run wild and win victoryupon victory. But then, if the war continues after that, I have no expectation of success.
Isoroku Yamamoto
They knew they would not be able to win in a industrial total war. Just hoped people would sue for peace before then.
Poor bastards didn't realize America doesn't give up. Especially after you bloody her face like they did.
i actualy enjoy making an inevitable win as hard as possible for the enemy team. it is realy fun to out exp the enemy topscorer while losing
This is the unsalted version of Flambass's usual stream. Jingles should add the parental warning to the Flambass link.
#DDLivesMatter
Btw seen it before on Flambass yt channel but still watched it for Jingles commentary
Yamamoto tried to tell them they were delusional, but they didn't listen.
I love how the fletcher is an agruably better torpedo boat than the Yugumo
i think we need a story time with jingles where he just reads chapters from books like great naval blunders or Neptune's inferno.
So for 2 years... this Zulu guy, has not changed, well, doesn't that makes you lose hope for humanity a bit knowing that some people don't change.
To be honest, when Flam was going against the Lion I thought Jingles meant the French Lyon and got royally confused when he said T9
Jingles, i have a concern.
Several vids from channels that i have the bell subscribed to i havent been getting notafications from. You included.
Anyone know if its my fault or is it something else?
Heard from Rita that you'll be joining us in the salt mines, now named the "new Portuguese salt mines". Welcome on board sir Jingles cold showers stale food and warm bunks, you should feel right at home.
Cold showers, stale food and warm bunks, any wwiii submariner would call that an upgrade. Hurray for showers!
Great play by Flambass...
A shame he had a team of IDIOTS, wich is the case for most games in WoWs
About right for world of warship players 90% are potato's that's why more and more good players play passive
By the end of WW2 an Essex class aircraft carrier was being built and commissioned every 90 days
Of course he got beat in the end, poor guy threw out his back carrying a few hundred thousand long tons of dead weight across half the dang ocean.
Would love a premium USS Johnston (DD-557) / Fletcher-class
I'd kill for any of the Taffies in WoWs.
I also watched this on live stream. Epic battles by flambass! Saw you had a commentary about it, so had to watch it again, so i could hear Jingles take on it.
Any chance of a warthunder ships video in the near future?
Oh gosh, I watch Flambass all the time and chat with him on Twitch. This is a great day, thank-you again Jingles!
Have to agree, I watched it live and it was equally enjoyable watching a 2nd time.
Cheers from Down Under ol' bearded one :)
Brilliant game and commentary Jingles, just goes to show Flambass is a truly amazing player ;)
I’ve always loved the Fletcher Class DD, beautiful and deadly.
The dude in the Bismarck has some serious issues...
Just what I was thinking. Honestly, when I play T8, I usually feel like an asshole because everybody seems to play so much better than me. But looking at that guy ...
I saw this on his UA-cam.. still watch it coz jinges is doing commentery
Question, how do you shoot down a USS Ranger Aircraft Carrier?
#DDlifematters! :D
I watched this on his channel. Great game.
I was watching along side you, Whiskey in hand..while down loading WOWs to the new system!!! damn good match
Your commentary is hysterical!! I love it!
Made me watch this twice now Jingles :)
Fun fact about the Japanese attack on Pearl harbor: I I think it was one of the Japanese admiral who said they would have about six months of free rein in the Pacific before the US got fully geared up and they would start to lose.
I might be wrong on the exact time frame, but holy God did that ring true.
Yamamoto said that. 6 months before the battle of midway. Almost to the day
I can only imagine if you got that kind of damage in the Missouri XD
Hey Mighty Jingles.....You might know, but I thought I'd try to answer your thoughts on why Japan decided to attack America. It was because America Embargoed all oil exports to Japan. This to happen during a major War was very serious to them. They thought if we were to hit America hard they will back away from the Embargo.
you sure that the carryer wasn't called hms glorious ?
Flambass probly is one of the best DD players in game!
At least somebody recognised the threat Flambass is
Jingles, update your WoWS intro!
When you can print ships like money, it would be hard to lose a war like ww2.
We built so many destroyers the Navy actually had to go beg Congress to stop ordering destroyers. We built so damn many of the things we didn't have enough sailors to crew them.
We built 24 of the biggest aircraft carriers used in the war *because we could.*
Bloody hell... this guy is amazing...
omg this is gold x) should be banned imo
I stayed up all night for the notification
Historically accurate fletcher game play
Jingles, the description is hilarious. Never change. :)
Ugh...yet more tier IX gameplay.
Does WoW even have ships and gameplay below tier VII?
Yes it does but in those games not much happens besides idiots dying
As a long time player i can tell you any game under tier 7 is boring 90% of the time
"What was Japan thinking?" The same thing the Russians and Iranians and Germans have thought. They claimed that the US is decadent and lazy. That we don't have the willpower for long, hard wars.
this is why radar/CV complaints are questionable. See what Flambass did to those CRUISERS? Aren't cruisers the COUNTER to DDs? If they had a Moskva with them, or if the enemy Hiryu had basic situational awareness, he would not have done what he did, or been allowed to. Complaining that your class can be countered isn't how the game works. If the hard counter to your ships isn't present, the RADAR, LOOK WHAT THE DD CAN DO.
During WW II the U.S. put in service over 300+ Destroyers, 500+ Destroyer escorts, 10 Battleships, 15+ Fleet Carriers, 12+ Light Carriers, 112 Escort Carriers, 40+ Cruisers, 200+ Submarines, that's not including cargo ships, tankers, troop transports, and support ships. It is astonishing how many ships were built from 1942 to 1945.
I don't have a pc so play the mobile version of warships, it's 7 vs 7 on there. Can't tell you how many times I've sunk 4,5 & 6 ships get MVP and still lose. I solo, I don't team up, which is my fault, and have a 60% win ratio. This my 3rd account and it seems as you get to the high 50% win ratio, they put you with dumber and dumber teammates thinking you can make the difference I guess. Lol wish I could play the PC version, it looks a lot better. Love your content Jingles, ya make my day! Happy everytime I see ya post, have even watched ones I've already watched just to get my fix!
To be fair, the question you posed at the beginning of this vid shouldn't be blamed on Japan, but on the Imperial Army yahoos that dominated Japanese politics at the time. There was one fellow, one Isoroku Yamamoto, that warned just how BAD an idea going to war with the U.S. would be. Needless to say, he was shouted down. And a couple of other stats to emphasize how bad an idea that was. At the beginning of the war, the United States initial solution to the U-boat menace was to build ships faster than U-boats could find and sink them. To drive that point home, the 14,475 ton Liberty Ship, S.S. Robert E. Peary had her keel laid November 8, 1942, and was launched November 12, 1942, 4 days, 15 hours, and 29 minutes later. On VJ Day, the U.S. Navy had 110 aircraft carriers of all types in commission (admittedly, 75 of those were escort carriers). FYI. :)
Meanwhile in titanfall...
Me: 37 kills, 5 titan kills, 251 points earned, team's MVP
2nd place teammate: 16, 2, and 134, not that bad
3rd place: 8, 2, and 91
4th: 5, 1, and 70
5th: 3, 1, and 31
6th: 0, 0, and 3... (I saw him at the start so he didn't join late)
We lost 580 to 650...

Yeah...I kind of agree. Yeah that attack on pearl could have been even more devastating if it worked out like intended...BUT THERE IS STILL A SHIT TON OF INDUSTRY THAT WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN TOUCHED.
Actually Jingles, Japan HAD a plan: As Gronth Gronth already said, they knew they needed to cripple the US Navy quickly and decisevly before the US industrial might could make itself felt. Adm. Yamamoto knew this and made plans accordingly. The problem was: the US carriers weren't in Pearl. The japanese had one shot at disabling the US Navy and then capture the whole Pacific. Yamamoto knew, that Japan was in big trouble atfter they couldn't achieve that. He was one of the smartest strategist of his time - that's why the US forces assasinated him in1943.
Just a historical note to your question of "Japan, what were you thinking??" Japan's military leadership KNEW that if they didn't completely cripple the US Navy at Pearl Harbor, there was no way they could keep up with the industrial power of the U.S. Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto said "If we are to have a war with America, we will have no hope of winning unless the U.S. fleet in Hawaiian waters can be destroyed.
" Fortunately for the U.S., there was a task force on training maneuvers that day.

Hoy hoy Jingles, ya gotta remember who they curbstomped just before! They totally trashed Russian and Chinese navies, countries equally big as the US! So of course they thought they could "lightning war" them into submission!
Actually, I'm not sure if you're into turn based, but there's some hilarious trivia as a result. The Japanese seem to respect a good effort, even if you're comically inept, so the stats of Russian commanders like Makarov and Enqvist and Suvorov are usually *stellar!* Also I think they dig the epic beards. Oskar Enqvist is in particular a common bonus admiral in series like Daisenryaku, and in later PTO games.
Anyway, basically pro-militarist psychologists determined for the Army that based on how "battle weary" the gaijins over in Europe were that a strong and devastating enough strike would *probably* cause the Americans to sue for peace. And, maybe if the declaration arrived _before_ Pearl Harbor, they might have, instead of getting all pissed off and Hornety. And secondly, they weren't aware of how much naval fighting the US had been doing (especially against themselves, hah!) the past couple of generations, so the US had a bit more combat experience and training than the pushover land lubbers they dealt with before. Just basically plain bad luck coupled with cultural differences, and an unwillingness to listen to those in the Navy who knew better from being educated overseas. Oh, and there's actually a civilian angle pushing behind the war too. Namely two large, what we'd call "PMCs" today, led by these two mega rich nationalists Ryoichi Sasakawa and Yoshio Kodama. Look'em up, fascinating dudes. Sasakawa has an excellent biography floating around out there too. Basically the Japanese Koch and Soros! (Except they teamed up) Early on the Navy even had to borrow ships, planes, and airfields from them in order to pull off Nanking as well as they did. (In fact their forces beat the official Japanese army to make landfall) I guess you could say their smashing victories over superiour armed forces with less adequate equipment, especially Russia, built up a lot of overconfidence in being able to conquer impossible odds.
Also scroll down some, the German guy got translated by another viewer, and is basically WoW Schrader, haha. He rage quit and was on auto pilot by the time he reappeared.
