OH look what WG inspired

[Teogr8]

 

All thnx to the amazing cv rework

[Salentine]

why do they have to remake the old classics? hard to see how it's going to be better than the original film...

[PonyOnSteroids]

Damn does CGI looks .... well CGI. God, bless Tora Tora Tora.

They could just upgrade the special effects (even if that is needed). But.. we all know why they make remakes, don't we?

[wot_2016_gunner]

Yeah, they could just remaster the original movies, but i still prefer the original (which i have)

[wot_2016_gunner]

Besides, have anyone of you seen this (my favourite)

 

[Paranoid_Potato]

Does the AA, bombs and torps actually do the damage and real characteristics, or did they just ask WG to do the rendering, make it as they go along, make a dogs dinner of it all and then try multiple patches, with the associated system failures, while offering everybody a bland tastless ice cream as compensation ?

Not all of it but planning to. Amazing how they built so much of it on set, one side which was then reversed IIRC. The superstructure is CGI.

[wot_2016_gunner]

Yes, i know, you could actually visit it before they demolished the set in 2006

I watched it after I bought the movie on DVD years ago. It's pretty good.

Watched it on DVD in Kawanishii way back when - rented from the japanese equivalent of Blockbusters :)

Excellent film.

[wot_2016_gunner]

Have you watched this movie? (maybe not as good as the Yamato, but i think still watchable) - Eien no Zero (Eternal Zero)

I heard of it, but i don't know why i haven't searched it. My bad.

30min of bad CGI and 60min of human relationship drama Hollywood knows we love......

It's like with Pearl Harbor (2001), were, it was done well, but the acutal thing was like 30min and the rest was basically something we didn't care in a movie like that. And the fact that you can see it up to a mile that they use a Nimitz class carrier is... 

 

Also, it would be nice if WG adds other unique commanders like Chūichi Nagumo, Chester Nimitz, Tamon Yamaguchi, Raymond Spruance, Frank Fletcher, and my second favourite (Isoroku Yamamoto is my favourite, he's just awesome)

 

Admiral Tōgō Heihachirō

I mean, we have Mikasa, why can't we have her commander too.

I don't think the original was up to much. A bit of a plodder, IMHO. That said, you could be right - judging by the trailer, this new film probably won't be any better than the original.

[wot_2016_gunner]

Well... there is one movie that was never remade

 

Here is the trailer

 

 

[wot_2016_gunner]

Oh... guys, i just found the movie that best emphasizes how the Cv rework and the AA is today

@wot_2016_gunner There is the problem of the name of Guy Gibson's dog, but on the other hand the Dambusters were who sank the Tirpitz, though as the Fjord was shallow enough part of the deck was still above water there were Royal Navy officers who (allegedly) claimed it didn't count. As to 633 Squadron I do think it would be a nasty surprise for Flambass when he goes middle on Two Brothers if the Indomitable's Sea Hornets could emulate their older cousins and bring a chunk of the mountain down onto him below.

That's what I usually think, but here I have to disagree. The 70s Midway was poor on the action, historical accuracy... reused lots of combat footage from other movies... It could (theoretically) be really great. Eternal Zero from the other side. Complementing each other like Flags of our Fathers / Letters from Iwo Jima.

 

The problem here is it's another Roland Emmerich project, and that guy is a) a cheapskate (so I can see him doing exactly the same thing, reusing CGI shots from Pearl Harbour etc) and b) he's a notorious hack and wannabe Michael Bay. So it's gonna be as bad as Pearl Harbour in the exact same ways. If not worse. After all, he isn't getting any younger or less greedy.

I hope they adhere to historical accuracy .. or at least more than Bay did

[Inappropriate_noob]

Film looks interesting, one I would like to see. These clips led me to YouTube, where I have been engrossed for the past hour of the sinking of the Yamato.

 

I won't post it here as it is a long vid
