Ultamate Perk Ride.....

I know it prolly will never be implimented but wouldent it be cool if you could join up with like 4 or 5 other players and buy something REALLY cool, like the Yamato or Bismark, or other real ww2 things like that, it would be neat to be flying in the MA and see "the yamato has been sighted in grid **" then immediatly take off in some avengers an whatnot to try to kill it, i think it would be neat to have some actual named ships in the game. you could launch in yer ubership from yer port and you could roam the seas, launch a plane to find the enemy battle group, swoop in and attack it and quickly head out before they could counter attack successfully.  or sneak up near shor and hammer an enemy base with those massive guns.  I know everyone in the MA would be after but i can imagine that the yamato or bismark would be a real pain in the bellybutton to sink

It would be a lot of fun to attack a late war Yamato class BB.

150!!! 25mm AA guns, plus 24 5" multipurpose guns.

The thing would be a death wagon to any airplane that attacked it without an organized mission and a LOT of aircraft backing it up.

Bismark would, on the otherhand, be comparatively easy.  The Europeans just didn't overdo the AA guns like the USN and IJN.  The Bismark also loses 30,000 tons to the Yamato, which translate directly into durability.
