That looks like the aa ammo just above the main belt midships exploded (top picture should be the small area with white frame) that made the yamato instantly disappear when she was introduced. That explosion (or the shells themselves) probably took out all the boiler rooms as well. Somehow gaijin seems to think the IJN would stick 30-60% of all people on the ship into the engine rooms during battle. With a big explosion midships i would expect some quite heavy crew loss, but 85% is quite excessive (even more so when the model viewer labels this aa ammo as 2200 rounds lol). But not entirely sure, what do the russian captions say translated?
EDIT: Btw, February statshark stats are out. Sojuz now sits at 10.67 K/D and 3.6 K/S. What a surprise. But im sure gaijin is working hard on bugfixing yamato and other ships models /s. But that might also be due to less people want to play top tier naval rb so theres more and more bots per game (most likely resulting in every ship’s k/d going up), considering how broken, pointless and unbalanced it is at 8.7 not exactly a big surprise.
