The mechanics have changed very little.
The enormous shells on Musashi / Yamato are going to overpen light cruisers frequently. There are a LOT more light cruisers in the game now than there were when Musashi came out.
As a battleship with 460mm guns, you should be aiming at mostly cruisers that possess 30mm decks / upper hulls. Those will be your bread/butter. If you can reliably hit the nose of other battleships, go for it, but that's hard. Otherwise slam any BB that shows you it's broadside and profit.
