That would be awesome!

I would rather not see the only late WW2 fit 16" ship japan can have as a Premium. Imo Tosa would be nicer.

I think Hiei would be a better fit. Nagato in the WW2 fit should be a tech tree vehicle.

Maybe would be after Fuso as in case of Ise-Amagi relationship

It would be weird as Yamashiro is Rank V premium.

True but it would still help survivability if they adjusted that mess of a shell room and magazine that it currently is.

The only option that best aligns with the two other premiums is Nagato, tragically.
Hiei is… not that good, and worse than the current BB premium Yamashiro.
A second Amagi or one of the Tosas isn’t impossible; I think they’d be a little too good to make premiums though. Not like Gaijin cares, France is either getting Normandie or a Richelieu as theirs, and I think Italy is left with only a Littorio. Shows how much thought and effort is put into the mode, right?
I suppose they could make a good decision for once and give us a second Mutsu from later in her life.

That’s what I am thinking as well. Anything other than Nagato would basically at most be on par with Yamashiro

Yeah. Because they added Mutsu, any ship other than Nagato is going to be too strong or worse than Yamashiro. Should’ve been WW2 Hiei for the rank 5 premium and WW2 Yamashiro for rank 6, completely dropping their asinine insistence on adding the awful WW1 appearances.

Too bad Japan didn’t do what the Russians did, just throw something onto a slipway for the sake of it. B-65 might’ve been a decent one. Or maybe they’ll throw a curveball and do Musashi lmao.

What a stupid idea. Adding another useless rank where 6 of the 7 naval powers will at most be able to field 1 or 2 ships in the tree.

So would you rather Tosa or Nagato was a premium? Both would be very good.

Tosa so I don’t have to spend $80 on Nagato.

Is this an unfortunate reality of IRL design? Meaning that because of WT engagement ranges, Yamato can’t use its armor properly.

Or is it just modelled incorrectly? lol

Armor scheme is mostly correct. Some argue is on thickness of underwater part, but cheek is present at real life.

They finally lowered the Yamato’s ammo loadout
And replaced the floatplanes with proper ones + added a couple of 25mm AA

Yamato is missing a section of her armor belt on the left side, starting from the section beside the fore 155mm.

Settsu placement changed from after Tone to after Ikoma on Dev server

But why…? What reason could they possibly have come up with for that one?

Maybe so Yamato grind can be a tiny bit quicker?

maybe because Ikoma goes up and something needs to fill the tree? I’m rather surprised they still don’t folder Suzuya/Mogami

Hopefully Amagi and Mutsu get switched, so we finally have a battlecruiser/fast battleship line.

Hyuga and Ise make sense to be in a line.

Unsure if the other IJN battleships should be moved around. But I definitely want to see a late-war refit Nagato after Mutsu.
