With 400 sailors aboard, the Oklahoma lost her balance, rolled onto her side and slipped underwater. Next, torpedoes pierced the shell of the battleship USS Oklahoma. The ship exploded and sank with more than 1,000 men trapped inside. At 8:10, a 1,800-pound bomb smashed through the deck of the battleship USS Arizona and landed in her forward ammunition magazine. Bombs and bullets rained onto the vessels moored below. On December 7, after months of planning and practice, the Japanese launched their attack.Īt about 8 a.m., Japanese planes filled the sky over Pearl Harbor. That way, the Americans would not be able to fight back as Japan’s armed forces spread across the South Pacific. I honestly hope WG will re-balance secondary batteries in Legends so that their effectiveness will reflect their counterparts from the PC version of the game.The Japanese plan was simple: Destroy the Pacific Fleet. We won’t know just how effective GK will be until we can actually play it, but judging by it’s stats, its looking like yet another mediocre German battleship that will struggle to compete with it’s peers. It also has better concealment and maneuverability, not to mention a much better torpedo belt (55% damage reduction). Yamato has bigger guns with better penetration, damage, and accuracy. Otherwise, Yamato is looking to be the superior choice in battleships. Statistically, GK has a bit more HP, more main battery guns, and a Sonar when compared to the Yamato. Given the GK’s size and poor maneuverability, you’ll going to want to stay at medium range in order to avoid these scenarios, which will give the secondaries very little use. Most of the ships that get close enough for the GK’s secondaries to open fire will either be destroyers going for a suicide torpedo run or a ship that is going for a ram. Tirpitz, Gneisenau, and Scharnhorst have even less secondary range but at least they have torpedoes to compensate. The Bismarck has a base range of 7.5 on it’s secondaries and they are still only mediocre thanks to their poor accuracy. I’m disappointed they gave the GK secondaries a 5km range.
