[2019] Maybe its just me but Yamoto is feeling tired

Hey Captains,

The Yamato is a ship that I have played a lot of battles in and still feels great! Yes, the Yamato has been in the game for years now, there are plenty of shiny new "cars" on the lot but the ol' girl keeps on kicking. The Yamato has a lot of advantages going for her but these are set off by some pretty steep advantages which can be magnified against a good opponent. Let us go over these real quick!

Strengths:

Largest guns in the game (460mm) and can overmatch 32mm armor.


Very resilient to taking damage with thick deck armor and turret armor.


Torpedo bulges that keep the Yamato from taking massive damage from individual torpedoes.


Very accurate at range with good dispersion (mostly).


Large health pool that is only surpassed by 2 other ships.


Arguably the one of the best unique upgrades in the game.

Weaknesses:

Slower than molasses turrets! This makes you have to prepare where you want your turrets before engaging.


Personally in a brawl the Yamato is at distinct disadvantage if the enemy BB can close the distance with you.


Above the water citadel and weak points at the cheeks and the hangar in the back.


AA is mediocre at best, the old joke was the Yamato shot down all the planes after the strike happened.


Long rudder shift time which leaves you vulnerable maneuvering and to torpedoes.

Yes, the Yamato has been in the game a long time but she is still one of the best BBs in the game =).
