First time I watched the film since history class 15 years ago, and let me tell you, those IJN pilots were nothing but a bunch of pickers. :furious  First they deacked our destroyers and battleships, and then they wouldn't even let the P-40 pilots take off. :eek:  Everyone got vultched right on the runway. :frown:  Finally, a couple of P-40s get airborne, and what happens?  You guessed it: gang bang by the A6M pilots.  The dweebs didn't even have the honor to fight on equal terms.  :mad:

Let me tell you, it was a new low in the arenas tonight...  Now, I know what some of you are going to say: "don't take off from a capped field."  But these guys were in Hawaii.  On a map like that, the next airbase might be thousands of miles away, and with fuel multipliers, you'd never make it to the fight. <sigh> :salute

I'm drunk so this was funny x5  :aok

side note, most(if not all) of the planes that were in the movie are stationed 30 mins from my house. makes for some cool moments on the weekends.

I understand your attempt at humor, but from my perspective, you failed miserably. However, I am but one of many.
