Hard to say. In the war in China Banzai charges were considered a valid tactic for the japanese since the chinese troops lacked enough firepower to stop them, it was only against allied modern rifles and automatic weapons that it became a literal suicidal tactic. At this point of the war the commander might be trying for a fast but costly win instead of a swift death.
To be fair, they did eventually figure out that they couldn't Kantai Kessen the USN into submission. Of course, there wasn't much of an IJN left at that point...Bwahahahaha. The IJN learn.
You crack me up.

You forgot about Operation Frequent Wind? You silly goose. Bunches of Huey's and Chinooks just over the side.
well... at least we know that Sky here liked getting marshmallow hell'd with 3 Sara(CV, BC and abyssal)....Meanwhile, while it's not really relevant to this story, this is the most active thread I have
Take a trip down memory lane to late 2016. With Sara and Jellyfish Hime just added to KC, I made some cute snips with the latter. She eventually 'recovered' from the whole 'Abyssal' thing, more or less, though she never was completely back to normal. Since I'm idly considering writing another of those:
(she has scars from the Abyssal metal on Jellyfish's body. Her scarf covers the worst of the neck scarring, though you can see a bit peaking out. Her eyes are mismatched because the blue one is still Abyssal blue. The grey is the one that is covered by metal on Jellyfish, but with the metal gone, is now back to regular (KC Sara) grey. With scarring left over)
As for in here, this was not a fun day, so I didn't get any writing done. I'll aim for updating and answering questions about Wake tomorrow. Suffice to say, I do pay attention to what people are guessing.
I just can't say anything because then I'd spoil things
I see I'm not the only person using that particular game to make character art. *Chuckles* You can find my attempts own under the Media tab in A Lion in Winter if you're interested, Skywalker, and I can recommend some mods as well if you like.
At first I wondered if you were making some sort of kamikaze joke, then I saw the last sentence and realized it was a Vietnam reference. Sorry, that was before my time and I tend to read WW2 history books instead. ;D
Check it out. Millions of dollars worth of choppers were pushed off the deck of Midway to make room for a teeny little Bird Dog. And that was pretty much fleet wide. Even on USS Okinawa.
That actually was my nom de plume for more than two years before my brother ponies up the cash to change it. I was part of KNTAI for a good long while.As long as you don't play WoWs, it's fine. With your nom de plume, you'd have problems in there.
I guess it was before they decided to start with the "how it works" series. Have a look at the first episode.
Huh. I would have thought that at this point that derail was already dead of natural causes, to be replaced by a new derail, or an update. The second is unlikely, but we can always hope.
What's the turn-around time to get enough gas in them to get some planes to bingo to Wake? Wake just lost all their planes, so if the ones in the air can fly in a holding pattern at minimum throttle long enough for enough other planes to get gassed up and on their way to Wake, that would be a better solution.
You know, for just a second I misread that as Sara pointing one of her Tommy guns at Kaga. I'd also would want to point out that moving an injured person is a thing to be avoided, so I'd see more likely that Sara interposed herself between Kaga and the Admiral.
...fuck me, now I'm picturing Little E, thirty years down the line, dragging all of the other girls she can wrangle to a Star Trek convention.... in cosplay. With Kaga (reluctantly) as Spock.
