-The pinnacle of all Japanese battleship design philosophy and possibly of the entire world, the Yamato gains its place as the most solid battleship at her tier. She has the most Hitpoints of any ship in the game, at a staggering 97200 and her guns have the highest citadel hit damage of any round in the game, at 14800 HP per citadel hit. The AA suite aboard matches her size and potency, with nearly 150 25mm AA barrels (in real life, 162 25mm AA barrels in latest upgrade).  With a turning radius of 800m and a top speed of 27.2 kts, she is also surprisingly maneuverable despite her large size, but with a long rudder shift time and extremely slow turret traverse, one must plan all actions in advance, or risk being caught off-guard and unable to react. The guns, while accurate, are very unforgiving, with a 30 second reload stock, which can be decreased to just under 27 seconds at the expense of further reducing its abysmal turret traverse further by using a piece of equipment. Being one of the biggest ships in the game, Yamato is constantly targeted by Aircraft Carriers, and despite the numerous AA guns, high tier carriers can still get planes through, so it is advised to stay near ships that have solid AA suites such as cruisers for an AA "aegis" to be created. In addition, even though your armor is the most solid in the game you should still try to angle your ship as sometimes shells may have a chance to hit home and deal glaring damage.

-If the ship is skilled and upgraded for improved secondary armament, any ship that ventures within 10 km of Yamato will find themselves attacked by the highly accurate secondary batteries. Destroyers that stay within this range will be easily taken down by the volume of accurate fire that the secondary guns can deliver.

-'''Pros'''
-* Unrivaled guns, can penetrate battleship targets even when angled bow-on at long range.
-* Excellent main battery dispersion.
-* Heaviest armor and HP pool in the game as well as the best hit point regeneration of any ship.
-* Unparalleled secondary armament makes the ship deadly at close quarters.
-* Surprisingly good agility for its size
-* Impressive torpedo bulge.
-* Unrivaled range at 26 km and reaches up to 42 km with spotting plane consumable active
-?
-'''Cons'''
-* Extremely large size, at least slightly smaller than that of Izumo.
-* Her notoriety and appearance draw unwanted attention
-* The large quantity of short-ranged, small caliber AA guns with mediocre dual purpose long range AA make Yamato vulnerable to air attack.
-* Extremely slow turret traverse rate of 72 seconds for traversing 180 degrees.
-* Poor shell velocity of the main battery makes it difficult to hit distant targets.
-* Long rudder shift time.
-* Not invincible, you still need your team.
-* Extremely weak broadside (area near the AA casemates).
-* Extremely vulnerable to fires due to the percent damage dealt to health pools.
-* Portion of her frontal deck armor relies heavily on angle.
-* AP penetration seems questionable at long range.
-* One of the largest citadel in the game along with the Montana

-?
-Yamato (大和) was the lead ship of the Yamato class of Imperial Japanese Navy World War II battleships. She and her sister ship, Musashi (武藏) , were the heaviest and most powerfully armed battleships ever constructed, displacing 72,800 tonnes at full load and armed with nine 46 cm (18.1 inch) 45 Caliber Type 94 main guns. Neither ship survived the war.
-?
-Named after the ancient Japanese Yamato Province, Yamato was designed to counter the numerically superior battleship fleet of the United States, Japan's main rival in the Pacific. She was laid down in 1937 and formally commissioned a week after the Pearl Harbor attack in late 1941. Throughout 1942, she served as the flagship of the Japanese Combined Fleet, and in June 1942 Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto directed the fleet from her bridge during the Battle of Midway, a disastrous defeat for Japan. Musashi took over as the Combined Fleet flagship in early 1943, and Yamato spent the rest of the year, and much of 1944, moving between the major Japanese naval bases of Truk and Kure in response to American threats. Although present at the Battle of the Philippine Sea in June 1944, she played no part in the battle.
-?
-The only time Yamato fired her main guns at enemy surface targets was in October 1944, when she was sent to engage American forces invading the Philippines during the Battle of Leyte Gulf. On the verge of success the Japanese force turned back, believing they were engaging an entire US carrier fleet rather than the light escort carrier group that was all that stood between the battleship and the vulnerable troop transports.
-?
-During 1944, the balance of naval power in the Pacific decisively turned against Japan, and by early 1945 its fleet was much depleted and badly hobbled by critical fuel shortages in the home islands. In a desperate attempt to slow the Allied advance, Yamato was dispatched on a one-way mission to Okinawa in April 1945, with orders to beach herself and fight until destroyed protecting the island. The task force was spotted south of Kyushu by US submarines and aircraft, and on 7 April 1945 she was sunk by American carrier-based bombers and torpedo bombers with the loss of most of her crew.

-As of 0.5.3, with the central fire control for secondaries trained on her captain as well as the option of accurizing them with equipment, any enemy that ventures close to the massive battleship will find finely tuned secondary batteries beading on them which can potentially vaporize smaller ships like destroyers should they dare get close while she loads her guns.
+If the ship is skilled and upgraded for improved secondary armament, any ship that ventures within 10 km of Yamato will find themselves attacked by the highly accurate secondary batteries. Destroyers that stay within this range will be easily taken down by the volume of accurate fire that the secondary guns can deliver.
