War Thunder Cinematic | Battle of Midway

The day is June 4, 1942. It has been six months since the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbour and the USA entered the Second World War. America's aircraft carriers luckily survived Pearl Harbour, and throughout the year have proven to be a thorn in the Japanese goals of expansion across the Pacific. Seeking to lure the American carriers into a one-sided engagement to defeat them once and for all and secure Japan's position as the dominant power in the Pacific, Admiral Nagumo has launched a surprise invasion of the key US base at Midway, driven by the powerful Kido Butai fleet.

Unbeknownst to them, US codebreakers have been tapping into the Japanese communications for weeks and have made ready for the incoming attack. Gathering the three Yorktown-class carriers, Admiral Nimitz is set to strike the Japanese head-on, in an epic clash that will dictate the future of the Pacific Theater.

The Battle of Midway is the 23rd Ghost Army's much-anticipated final event of 2022. We are really proud of the event we've prepared and its accuracy to the real-life battle, and hope all who attend enjoy it. You can sign up for Midway on our Discord here:   / discord  

On a separate note, it has been almost a year since my last proper video and I hope you enjoy this return to content. I will be uploading a channel update soon detailing where I've been and the future of this channel. Tl;dr I will still upload videos, just infrequently and whenever I feel like making them - however, I will aim to upload a cinematic at least once every few months.

If you enjoyed this cinematic and would like to see more, like and subscribe, as it greatly helps out my channel and encourages me to make better content!
