I’d be straight up embarrassed over the state of Yamato if I was the dev(s) that worked on her in warthunder, personally.

Not embarrassed enough to change anything meaningful about its model in the 8 months after introduction apparently. But you can ofc always just slap a second one in game.

Between you and me; this should have been hotfixed between Dev server debut and Live server.
But developers in general seem to be allergic in portraying Yamato class accurately as Wargaming also makes her a slow, squishy behemoth.

Oh absolutely. Id be totally fine with it being a squishy behemoth in close ranges (where she has numerous giant disadvantages like no gun depression to hit any ships hull that is closer than 2 km, slow af gun traverse, meaningless armor) because yeah then its just a very specialized ship, meaningless for the outcome of close range rb matches, but who takes those seriously anyways? Those are won by who has the strongest and fastest coastals in his/her lineup. But it could still be effective and at least usable in a sniper role, especially in the much better EC mode.
But well not even in this role it is really usable since inaccurate ranges above 20 km with rangefinders only accurate in the km-scale, also stuff like this tends to happen:
I don’t think they care. Maybe they even get pleasure out of it? I say this, given a vehicle that may rival the Yamato in terms of terrible performance. That vehicle, being the Israeli SPYDER AIO added during the summer. From bugged radar, missiles, damage model, everything. There really needs to be a way for players to rank bugs as moderate, pressing, critical, or unable to play the game.

Ever heard of the Ki 102 otsu? 12 years and dozens of bug reports after its introduction, almost nothing has been done to fix it.

Yup, lots of bugged vehicles we are still waiting on. It’s just sad that some are released in such states that they can be perceived as being borderline unplayable.
Ahahah i even bombed one of those with a big fat IL 28 single 3000 kgs bomb… 100% to 80%… ok, it did some dmg. With 3000 kgs on your ship, that thing oneshots everything but the Soyuz.
