Ancient Japanese chronicles date the accession of the first Emperor Jimmu to the first day of the first month of 660 BCE. During the transition to the Gregorian calendar in the Meiji era, this date was aligned with February 11th and made into a holiday. Japan widely celebrated the 2,600th anniversary of the founding of the empire in 1940. After World War II, the celebrations were discontinued, but in the mid-1960s they were resumed with refined wording, eliminating any mention of the empire. It is a patriotic holiday, marked by the flying of flags and numerous local festivals.

The IJN Kiyoshimo (rank III) was a Yugumo-class destroyer that fought in the Pacific theater of operations in 1944. Its key features were speed, impressive anti-aircraft defense, and devastating 610 mm torpedoes. It is an excellent support ship!
The A6M5 Ko (rank IV) is an early modification of the A6M5 carrier-based fighter, with an additional 50 rounds of ammo. At its rank, almost nothing can match its maneuverability! Two 20 mm cannons and two 7.7 mm machine guns will punish any enemy that gets too close, and it can even mount bombs for some light CAS duties.

If Yamato and Musashi weren’t… the way they are (auto-death upon hit), I would 100% go for Nagato to grind them, even though I already am at Rank VI!
Nagato is the greatest Japanese ship as it stands right now, and it must be a great grinder that would do well even as first spawn of backup at Top Tier; but the endgame (Yamato, Musashi) is disappointing from what I’ve seen, so F.
I also think it would be cool if Premium ships, including Nagato, had access to the Default National camouflage; much like the Anime Tanks do.
It is quite solid what I’ve noticed.
Clan mate grinded japan , and liked those 6.0 japs ( tech tree versions of mikuma)
Just when facing 6.7/7.0 holding fire against human players and more focusing on bots, so they dont retaliate.
And those 7.7/8.0 ships on japan are awesome. takes a lot more beating compared to yamato :D
And ironically, IJN Tosa is actually selling cheap on market. And it seems also quite nice, just not having premium research bonus, but would work if grinding rank 5–>
hawk 209 already on sale?
i mean i expected it to go on sale quickly but not this fast
i hope those bug reports will go through though, it could be a much better plane with additional pylons being used for FnF weapons like it should be able to, or more sidewinders
Armour is made out of frigging nitroglycerine I swear, and even after the “fix” they still vaporize every shell on the ship if one magazine goes, even when sailing with half empty shell rooms to begin with. And to top it all off you are not just an easy kill, but also a high threat to anything but the Shitski Soybean so every human player (all 2 or 3 of them) make you a priority target.
It’s simply not worth playing past 8.0 IJN
It would be nice, Nagato especially is far too ostentatious for me.
Apparently, it was 50% bug, 50% historical design issue.
So even if the 50% bug is fixed, they are still extremely easy to ammorack as 50% of the shots will still detonate the ammo… unless te here’s still some mismodelling/bug active I wasn’t aware of :’)
