At present, the Yamato is not a normal battleship at all, not to mention its battle rating of 8.7.
I believe the simplest way to fix the Yamato is through the following points, which don’t even require modifying the game’s modeling. The suggestions are based on gameplay experiences with other battleships and reference the upcoming major update to the game’s damage and reward calculation system.
-
Addition: Secondary battery magazine explosions should no longer detonate the main battery magazines. Secondary magazine explosions should only reduce compartment health and crew health.
-
Modification: Increase the health of the main battery magazines, including shell rooms and powder rooms.
-
Addition: Main battery shell room explosions should no longer be instantly lethal. Instead, they should cause significant crew damage and compartment health reduction. (Currently, the shell rooms of the Sovetsky Soyuz and Iowa do not cause instant death or trigger powder room explosions. This change would simply bring the Yamato to the same level as other battleships.)
-
Addition: Increase the number of compartments to 10–12. The Yamato is exceptionally large, even bigger than the Sovetsky Soyuz and Iowa, and should not have only 8 compartments.
- Yes, the Yamato needs to be repaired and undergo balance adjustments.
- No, the Yamato should be left as it is.
