Yamato
Yamato — Japanese
• Legendary Tier • Battleship.
The biggest warship of World War II and the world's largest battleship. Yamato was designed around the idea that an individual ship could have superiority over any battleship of a potential enemy. Her main guns had overwhelming firepower. The ship maintained a very high level of survivability due to reliable armor and robust torpedo protection. Yamato’s AA capabilities were highly efficient due to carrying numerous AA artillery guns.
Yamato was released as a Bureau project reward on May 18th, 2020.

Community ContributionsPlayer Opinion
Battleship - YamatoPros:
- Yamato's main gun caliber is large enough to let AP shells overmatch 32mm plating
- Decent main battery accuracy
- Shell velocity is average, but does not bleed much at range thanks to shell mass
- Large HP pool and thick deck and belt armor make Yamato durable when properly positioned
- Impressive torpedo damage reduction
- Ridiculous main battery armor; Yamato's main turrets are very hard to disable or destroy
Cons:
- Despite the great accuracy, dispersion can be frustratingly poor at times
- Low top speed and poor maneuverability
- Massive target with poor concealment
- Enormous citadel that, while well armored, rises high above the waterline and makes Yamato exceptionally vulnerable when showing broadside, or when her bow "cheeks" (the bow plating below the main turrets) are presented to enemy guns
- Only comes with 2 charges of the Repair Party
consumable, instead of the standard 3
Performance
Changes
