How the fuck did a training plane (The Wirraway) manage to shoot down a Zero? That's impressive tbh. Based Australian engineering does it again

Reverse image search says the kamikaze hit the HMS Sussex, which was a heavy cruiser. It impacted on the belt armor which was 4.5 inches thick, the most heavily armoured part of the ship. Kamikaze aircraft had almost everything stripped out of them to make them faster and more agile (and zeroes were made out of extremely light materials anyway) so it isn't that unreasonable

Apparently the Boomerang could out maneuver the Zero, sadly the old Boomy was way too slow to have the opportunity to bring it's guns to bear down on one though the one time it did, its guns jammed lmao. Shame, it seemed like such a good plane, it was great ground support though. Utterly destroyed nips.

actually it was pretty effective
>Approximately 2,800 Kamikaze attackers sunk 34 Navy ships, damaged 368 others, killed 4,900 sailors, and wounded over 4,800. Despite radar detection and cuing, airborne interception, attrition, and massive anti-aircraft barrages, 14 percent of Kamikazes survived to score a hit on a ship; nearly 8.5 percent of all ships hit by Kamikazes sank.[38]

Semi-relevant, I just think this is a really cool piece of info tbh

] Australia and New Zealand were designated as future Japanese territories, although Hitler lamented his belief that the white race would disappear from those regions.[55] He nevertheless made it clear to his officials that "the descendants of the convicts in Australia" were not Germany's concern and that their lands would be colonized by Japanese settlers in the immediate future, an opinion also shared by Joseph Goebbels, who expressed his conviction in his diary that the Japanese had always desired "the fifth continent" for emigration purposes.[56] In his only recorded lengthy discussion on the subject he argued that its people still lived in trees and had not yet learned to walk upright.[57] Historian Norman Rich stated that it can be assumed that Hitler would have attempted to recruit the Anglo-Saxons of these two countries as colonists for the conquered east; some of the English were to share the same fate.[55][58]

Hitler also wanted Japan to attack the Soviet Union but they didn't.

'We never had enough troops to [invade Australia]. We had already far out-stretched our lines of communication. We did not have the armed strength or the supply facilities to mount such a terrific extension of our already over-strained and too thinly spread forces. We expected to occupy all New Guinea, to maintain Rabaul as a holding base, and to raid Northern Australia by air. But actual physical invasion—no, at no time.'

He was pissed off that we had so much room yet such a small population and thus it's our fault that we didn't populate fast enough lmao

Hitler's dismissal of the fate of the Australian nation
"The descendants of the convicts in Australia should inspire in us nothing but a feeling of supreme indifference. If their vitality is not strong enough to enable them to increase at a rate proportionate to the size of the territories they occupy, that is their own look out, and it is no use their appealing to us for help. For my own part, I have no objection at all to seeing the surplus populations of prolific Asia being drawn, as to a magnet, to their empty spaces. Let them all work out their own salvation! And let me repeat - it is nothing to do with us."[9]

This. They had the best pilots of the world and wasted them all in useless attacks. Then after that they had to use barely trained pilots, who themselves had to ride unmanoeuvrable planes that couldn't do much more than going straight. As a result, they mostly kamikazed fishes.

2800 men (and 2800 planes) --most of them were not so trained-- killed 4900 men and wounded 4800, sinking 34 naval ships and damaging other 368.
its KDR is not bad, and since ships are way more expensive than planes its cost efficiency is also good.

plus, considering ship's maneuver and AA barrage unlike the WTC, the hit rate is not bad.

Japan fucked up big time in regards to their pilot training though. They had the best training regime in the world at the outbreak of the war, resulting in individual pilots that were much better than their Allied counterparts. But as the war went on attrition meant that these pilots were wiped out in the early battles like Midway and the Coral Sea so by late 1943 the quality of Japanese pilots had declined significantly.

I actually read a really great book on the Japanese navy/fleet air arm recently called Kaigun, in 1941 the total amount of new graduates from pilot school was something like 500. Compare this to the American strategy of fielding a lot of mediocre pilots who were expected to grow better through experience, that's a big reason why the air war over the Pacific was won. The Japanese leaders thought that their pilots could do better jobs on suicide duty then actually attempting to take down American pilots during the later stages of the war, because by that time they were incredibly more skilled on an individual basis.

nah, the late war pilots were hardly experienced.
in fact, it's one of the reasons why they started the kamikaze - making up for the shortage of experienced pilots.
