There it is, the crown jewel of the IJN
I’m glad that Japan got this beauty
On another note, please give Japan coastal tier 1 some better boats I beg, the new reserve boat is probably the best in it’s tier (vs the other Japan TT boats) and the rest are pretty bad to awful.

Here she comes.
Btw, you’d better bump up all the jet BRs in naval, cuz Yamato is gonna get wrecked by a plane 40+ years newer than her.

Imagine a player finally unlocking the Yamoto, only to see it sink swiftly because of a vehicle that first saw combat in the Yugoslav wars.

An actual useful role for this plane: Sink big beasts in ocean, it was all planned.

All? lol No where close to needed.
Maybe F-117, but all other 8.7s and 9.0s can’t get within range of good accuracy.
Even then what only 2 1 ton bombs will do is unknown.

I’m not sure 2 1 tonne bombs are going to do much against a 72,000 tonne battleship

You actually can if you dropped it close to or around the barbettes, so that it can trigger a fire or magazine detonation. F-117 has ballistic computer so it can fly out of the AA range and drop the bombs.
Sort of why I never understood the hype about it. It only sunk one or two ships during her service life. Im guessing its what the ship was suppose to represent but still, how many more aircraft carriers could you have built from the resources spent on it and her sister ship.

G’day, While I am of course excited for what’s one of the most famous Battleships from the second world war, It’s a great real bummer the Common Type 3 “Beehive” shells ain’t coming with this ship.
Those would’ve been the main reason I would research it to cause carnage against incoming aircraft & tbh it ain’t we can’t do similar already… Ohh wait we can but with just lesser size cannons like with the Battleship Scharnhorst (heh downed a Pe-8 with the 11" HE-DF shells once, they were using the bomber as a high levellier coming in at 5000 metres & nuked the wing off).
On another note, It’s kinda sad you guys didn’t mention the Japanese heavy lift ship Kashino, of which is in game as seen here:
This is a ship specifically constructed to carry the turrets & cannons from the factories to the shipyards where the Battleship Yamato & Musashi were neing constructed.
I do kinda wish it could be make a Rank II BR 2.3 Premium Coastal ship for the lolz, maybe as a 250 GE ship (there are a few that want the merchant ships added as meme ships).
