Battle of Midway

The decisive naval battle of World War II near Midway Atoll, which took place between June 4 and 7 in 1942, ended in a crushing defeat for the Imperial Japanese Navy. Thanks to the successful deciphering of Japanese codes, Admiral Nimitz organized a strategic ambush using the Enterprise, Hornet, and Yorktown aircraft carriers to surprise the Japanese fleet.

Over the course of the battle, American aircraft sank four key Japanese aircraft carriers (Akagi, Kaga, Sōryū, Hiryū) and a heavy cruiser (Mikuma), while losing only the Yorktown and the destroyer Hammann.

This battle dramatically changed the balance of power in the Pacific theater, halting Japanese expansion and giving the strategic advantage to the United States.

I’m not sure if there’s AI art used here or not but you could have still given the Americans or the Japanese something more interesting instead of just more decals.

It’s funny how you will finish 1/3 of the event without even knowing there is a new event added

Yes, 6th June is D-Day - this event is for the Battle of Midway, not D-Day. :wink:

The best thing for the Japanese people is themselves for they were the true heroes in the end and they don’t need anything fancy when they have their swords and the Japanese spirit and the belief in the emperor.

We will finally get decals which makes sense and 20 of them for all factions and I’m sure the community will be so grateful that we had something which should have been in the game from the get go and something we should have probably not had to grind for or pay for.

Soldier your reward is more exercise with Type 97 at rifle. Now get to work let’s see those jumps. Don’t disappoint the Emperor.
