We don't make announcements by requests on forum.

Those are different cases, since one seems OP to us and we're asessing it, and other - has bad rep. And even if Zeppelin would need further buffs - we have no problem doing so.

The WoWS Team was lucky enough to receive an advanced screening of the movie and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised.

The Trailer in a lot of peoples eyes was very cheesy, and I'll grant you, there's a few cheesy moments, but as a whole, their coverage of the events at Midway were visually amazing.

If anything, I would just give it a go for the visuals.

The casting was spot on for many of the characters with them being visually very close to their representing subjects, and capturing of their detailed attitudes was decent.

I won't lie, there were definitely some pacing / intensity issues in some scenes, and some scenes didn't seem to serve purpose, but as a whole, I'd still consider it a decent movie.

Major Parks knew his outdated Buffalo fighters would be outmatched by the fighter screen of A6Ms but he wanted to buy time for his gunners on Midway and to provide EW (early warning) for the Fleet.

Lt Cmdr Waldron also knew his Devastator bombers were no match for the A6M combat air patrol over Nagumo's Fleet, but again he wanted to buy time and provide EW for both Fletcher and Spruance so they could send in the cavalry in the form of SBDs.

Lt. Cmdr Leslie did not have a bomb during his attack run on Kaga but he was instrumental in leading his squadron to attack it as well as Soryu and Akagi.

Lt. Richard Best peeled off a detachment from Enterprise's attack on Kaga and went after Akagi.

It was the leadership of the squadron commanders and that ultimately led to the outcome of the battle.

Midway was a gut reaction by the IJN as they were the ones that assured both the Emperor and Tojo that Japan was safe from the violence of war because of its Sphere of Co-Prosperity which the Navy was charged with maintaining.

Yamamoto knew the industrial capability of American industry so destroying the Yorktown class CVs would allow them time to encircle and blockade the Hawaiian Islands and force the US Navy to concentrate more on protecting the West Coast than having a critical forward base in the Pacific.

So when the opportunity came for Yamamoto to deal the US Navy a second crushing and more decisive blow, he gambled and took it.

But that's the life and the roadmap for someone that is career Navy with a few stars on their shoulder boards. You will have to take your best guess and put all of your chips on the table.

Sometimes you come away with the pot and sometimes you get taken out of the game.
