What weapons were use during pearl harbor?

The Japanese used their aircraft, including B5N bombers, A6M Zeroes and D3A dive bombers. They also used many toxic gasses and bombs, such as armor piercing or incendiary. The U.S. used anything they could, including machine guns, AA guns and as many un-destroyed aircraft as they could.


What were the names of the planes that the Japanese use to bomb pearl harbor?

Kate torpedo planes, Val dive bombers, and Zero fighters. For fighting at sea; dive bombers destroy the warships anti-aircraft guns which enables the torpedo planes to make their torpedo runs into the hull of the target. Torpedo planes have to fly directly into the warships guns. For anti-aircraft gun crews, the oncoming torpedo plane is flying directly into them, the gun-crews don't have to adjust or aim...just point at a dot (the plane) that is getting bigger and bigger (easier and easier to hit) as it gets closer. Which is why the dive bomber is so important; it must eliminate those guns. The Zero fighters escort the torpedo & dive bombers to and from the target. The fighters protect the bombers; and if not needed for aerial combat (dog-fighting), the fighters will join in on the attack...strafing targets with machinegun and cannon fire.

What is the escalation process?

Going from a pistol to a rifle, then from a rifle to a machine gun, then from a machine gun to a tank, is an example of "escalation." Which is just about what happened in Vietnam; it went from a guerrilla war using small arms (rifles, pistols, machine guns, mortars, hand grenades, etc.) then starting in 1964 it escalated to jet bombers, then in 1965 B52 bombers and Patton tanks! By 1965 the US had a real war on their hands!


What is a torpedo level?

Head on (flying directly into the enemy's guns); which is necessary in order to drop the torpedo accurately. Which is also why, it was important to coordinate the torpedo attack with DIVE BOMBERS. Dive bombers were to knock out the guns that the torpedo planes had to fly into.
