Some mistakes I caught 2:48 - The USS Phoenix in this game is an Atlanta class Light Cruiser, the IRL USS Phoenix was a Brooklyn class Light Cruiser. 3:09 - There was no cruiser in US Navy history to have the hull number 342. And the capsized Battleship in the background has hull number 38, Battleship hull number 38 belonged to USS Pennsylvania, which was present at Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941, but did not capsize. 3:46 - The Zeke in the background has its' aileron stuck in the upwards position. 3:54 - Jeez that PT boat has to be going at least 100 miles per hour. 4:03 - What is the Zeke shooting at? lol 4:10 - During the Attack on Pearl Harbor, the aircraft used by the USAAF was the P-36 Hawk, not the P-40 Warhawk. 4:15 - Battleship with the hull number 75????? 4:36 - That light cruiser has the hull number 323. No such hull number was used by a light cruiser in the US Navy. 4:38 - A New York class battleship in Pearl Harbor? 7:30 - John Kennedy didn't command a PT boat until December 1942. 7:53 - PT-108 wasn't completed until July 7, 1942. PT-109 also wasn't completed until July 19, 1942. 9:39 - All the transports in the background have the same hull number. 10:44 - There was no US Submarine in WWII with the hull number 648. 11:24 - The "Dutch Submarine" is modeled after the USS Narwhal. 11:49 - The B-17 didn't see much combat in the Pacific theatre, instead you would more likely see B-25's or A-20's. 12:00 - USS Lexington's first major combat in WWII was during an engagement off of Bougainville, New Guinea, not Luzon. 12:30 - Why is the Catalina flying with its' pontoons down? 12:35 - The Fuso did attempt to fight a carrier strike group, but that was during the Doolittle Raid, not after a raid Luzon. 12:55 - Fuso was sunk in 1944, not as early in the war as seen in the game. 14:41 - The USS Fletcher seen in the cutscene is her after a late-war modification. She did not look like this in January 1942. Plus the USS Fletcher wasn't even built until June 30, 1942. 15:21 - IJN Yamato wasn't present at the Battle of Balikpapan, 1942. Plus at 30 NM, she would be able to fire a the US Destroyers raiding Balikpapan. 17:11 - USS Houston did not have the hull number 342. Instead the hull number was 30. 18:23 - HMS Hotspur didn't take part in the battle of the Java Sea. 22:12 - Why is the Captain on the flight deck during an ongoing battle? 22:52 - There are no recordings of undamaged Japanese Aircraft crashing into the USS Yorktown in WWII. 25:08 - Wow that watch tower is seeing the Japanese fleet just like he's right in front of them! 25:34 - Aircraft Carriers would NEVER sail that close together. 27:31 - This is the third time we see a Fuso class Battleship after two have been seen to be sunk. Only two of the Fuso's were ever made.
Many people don't know this, but in the Midway attack starting on 25:24, the statements from the scout plane that found the Japanese were actually said.
The only problem is that the Japanese turned and steamed Northeast. The TBDs found them first and were slaughtered by the Zeroes. The SBDs got lost in the clouds and stumbled upon the carriers by accident while their decks were loaded with planes, bombs, fuel and torpedoes while the Zeroes were off chasing down the TBDs (thus leaving them with no protection). The course of the war was changed forever in about 5 minutes.
totalwar179 There's an Easter egg in BSP during the Japanese Pearl Harbor mission where you can strafe and destroy his PT boat, and the narrator subsequently says "His name was Henry......this is not his story". It's really dark!
@@M4A1BestGirl Well the Japanese campaign in Battlestations Pacific is an entire what if the Japanese won at Midway. Based on how those missions progressed afterwards, its reasonably practical that would happen and its so scary.
Yes. I know it's a game. It's not a documentary. Creative liberties and such. Just some of the things I noticed. I love playing this game, though. It's so addicting. @2:46 The USS Phoenix wasn't damaged at Pearl Harbor. @3:09 the ship 342 is a Northampton class heavy cruiser. None of the ships in that class bore 342, nor were any at Pearl Harbor on 7 December 1941. @3:47 the Zeros have EI on their tail. That's their carrier designation, in this case Shokaku. However, no two aircraft on board would have the same three serial numbers after that. @4:04 Battleship Row is not in proper order. A ship is capsized towards Ford Island. That should be the USS Oklahoma and opposite of the ship moored beside her. @4:24 Donald and his wingmen bare the famous Tiger Shark teeth. Started in North Africa and then the AVG in China, they were not used in Hawai'i at the time. @7:34 Kennedy wasn't in the Pacific. He was still in South Carolina with Office of Naval Intelligence. @7:56 The story is immediately after Pearl Harbor, late December 1941 or so. PT-109 wasn't commissioned until June 1942. @9:40 The Clemson Class destroyer DD-243 is the USS Sands. By this time of the war she was patrolling off the West Coast of the United States. In 1943 she was reclassified as a transport destroyer APD-13 she served in Guadalcanal running supplies to the beach in 1943. She earned nine battle stars for World War II. By the end of 1945, she was decommissioned and scrapped. @11:46 From what I see, the Dutch don't paint their hull numbers like the US does. Instead they use Roman numerals at the stern. @11:51 The B-17s have a U in a black triangle. I think they represent the 457th Bomb Group. They served in the 8th Air Force in Britain. Not the Pacific. Plus it wasn't activated until 1943. @14:48 Walker is given command of the USS Fletcher DD-445. The section of story is before 1 March 1942. Fletcher wasn't commissioned until 30 June 1942. @16:25 Callsigns like Bravo One and Zulu One were not used in 1942. The US Phonetic Alphabet completely different in 1942. B was Beer and Z was Zebra. @18:26 HMS Hotspur spent her entire service in the Mediterranean and Atlantic. @22:20 Medics are called 'corpsmen' in the Navy. @28:36 The bottom three ribbons on Walker's chest are post-war.

A couple of things: 1. In mission 4 it took them 2-4 attack waves to realize they were shooting at a cruiser? 2. who can't tell the difference between a cruiser and a battleship just by looking at it?
Misidentification of enemy warships was actually extremely common during World War II, particularly with submariners, but it often happened during surface engagements too; Japanese crew members regularly mistook newer US destroyer types, such as the Fletcher class, for cruisers.
No they're right. It's Yamamoto. You're mixing up the guys name with the Yamato-class battleships probably. Yamato is an older/traditional name for Japan.

USSWISCONSIN94, like in Battlestations: Pacific You mean? ;)
Its hilarious how it translates 400 meters into 400 yards though.
The Dutch were actually incredible at submarine warfare. Funnily enough, they sank the most tonnage until 1943
"Vierhonderd meter, richten! Op mijn teken... vuur!"
Uss Phoenix was a St. Louis class and was undamaged at Pearl Harbor and would later become the general belgrano that was sunk during the Falkland war
It was actually a Brooklyn class, but that’s still a cool fact!
