And what’s even funniest is that they made the wrong arrangement of the ammunition for it… COMPLETELY WRONG… Oh, how much work will be needed to correct the snail’s mistakes…
The diagram shows how everything should be, but in reality the snail made a bunch of mistakes. And now our magazine are practically sitting under the deck
Ridiculous that an error this big has been made. Wasn’t DMM working with them to make the model as accurate as possible? Did that not extend to the damage/interior model?
At least I won’t suffer from it for a long time; couldn’t care less about Yamato. Her being added has disappointed me so much I might stop playing the game for the time being.
The funniest thing will be that they will leave it like that for the sake of “balance”, like, well, it’s a strong battleship and it needs to be nerfed artificially
It is very historical that Yamato has ‘firecracker’ ammo placement. 2/3 of shell is stored in barbette, 1/3 of shell is stored in hull near or above waterline.
Yamato is very ‘compact’ ship. 72,500 ton is huge number, but not enough number to make battleship with nine 18.1 gun, 410 mm of armor and 27.46 knot speed with traditional armor scheme and safe ammo storage.
So IJN choose ‘cheek’ armor scape which makes her more vulnerable when angled, and ‘firecracker’ ammo storage that most of shells were over waterline.
The only shells above the waterline are the turret no2/3 and secondary shell rooms which constitute a small amount of the total ammo. Think whatever you want about Yamato’s ammo stowage, but it’s objectively wrong as presented in game.
Didn’t I upload the picture from US navy ananlysis diagram of 18’’ turret and shell distribution system? Those shell rooms on your diagram exclude shell room on turret barbette. Game’s one is the most accurate.
Don’t worry, Yamato has 100 shells per gun. Even if you fire the gun once every 30 seconds, it will take 50 minutes to run out of shells. If you cut the shells in half, you’ll be fine… However, in SBEC, the battle time is long, so you may need more shells. (I’ve never been on a battleship.) Do you think it’s worth it to cut the ammunition if you’ve reached the top tier?
Yes, for example, the magazines of the 1st turret should be located on the bottom, but on the screenshot that is shown in the game, they are somewhere almost under the deck
Lets also hope they model all those hundreds of compartments correctly and that the crew wont go out with slightest tilt as Yamato would be just fine even with 20° tilt.
