sir,
i think the method is totally differs to the one on the Yamato,.. the main guns itself were directed to the sky, fired and short of big bursts in the sky appears among the incoming planes,..
i understant,. in the Imperial Airforce,. they do have a phosphor bomb that realease on the top of bombers,. and it will explode,. hopefully drestroying or at least damaging any of the the bomber,.. could it be the one,..
btw,. from the movie, now i understood,. what actually my dad was doing as a AA battery shells feeder when he served as IJN auxillary,. they practically had to push and hold the magazine with their body to ensure it wont bounce back during action,. is it also the same as to western AA guns,..
thanks
