Yamato — Japanese Tier X battleship.

The preliminary draft design of the battleship developed in Japan in the mid-1930s had a displacement of 49,000–69,500 tons, a speed of 24–31 knots, and a main gun caliber of 410–460 mm in various versions. The final version was Yamato, the largest battleship in the world. Admiral Yamamoto took command of the Japanese forces from her bridge during the Battle of Midway. On April 7, 1945, Yamato was sunk off Kyūshū island by attacking U.S. Navy aircraft during Operation Ten-Go.

Player Opinion

Performance

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 second largest hit points of any ship in the game at a staggering 97200 next to the Kurfurst's 105k 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.



Pros:

  • Unrivaled guns, can even penetrate other battleships at close range when they're bow on
  • Extremely good dispersion but it is still hard to hit anything beyond 18km
  • Second largest HP Pool and heaviest armor in-game
  • Large quantity of secondaries can easily kill a DD at very close range
  • Surprisingly good agility for its size
  • Impressive torpedo bulge as long as torpedoes hit your torpedo belt
  • Highest range in-game but shells take a long time to travel and are extremely inaccurate when making use of it

Cons:

  • Extremely large size but still smaller than Izumo and the Kurfürst (Yamato 263m, Izumo 290m, GK 313m)
  • Very high notoriety and potential danger makes her a priority target
  • Even with upgraded AA the lack of short range AA guns will make you very vulnerable to enemy carriers should their strike aircraft get close enough to dump their payload
  • 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.
  • Broadside can be easily penetrated by other battleships
  • Extremely vulnerable to fires due to the percent damage dealt to health pools.
  • Any caliber size (even from 4 tiers lower) can really easily set her on fire 2-4 times
  • Portion of her frontal deck armor relies heavily on angle.
  • AP penetration at longer range is abysmal
  • Constantly targeted by aircraft carriers and even a Shokaku/Lexington can get most of her planes through and strike you due to the lack of AA

Research

There are no researchable modules as this ship is sold in her elite configuration.

Upgrades

  • Gun Fire Control System Modification 1 will reduce the dispersion of her main batteries, which will improve her ability to hit things at the extreme ranges she fires

Captain's Skills

  • Expert Marksman will improve her very slow turret traverse from 72 seconds to 56 seconds for 180 degrees
