However, with a long rudder shift time and extremely slow turret traverse, one must plan all actions, or risk being caught off-guard and unable to react. With a turning radius of 800m and a top speed of 27 knots, she is also surprisingly maneuverable despite her large size, though still quite short of her real-life maneuverability. In the game, Yamato represents the upgraded 1945 variant while Musashi depicts the original version. She, along with her sister ship Musashi holds the record for best torpedo protection in the game, with a value of 56%, which is rather surprising considering that in real life, they both suffered from weak torpedo protection due to design flaws with the area joining the upper and lower armor belts. While her individual AA mounts are mediocre, the sheer number of AA guns, nearly 150 25mm AA barrels (in real life, 162 25mm AA barrels in the latest upgrade), and 24 127mm DP guns provide a mild deterrent, particularly against lower-tier carriers. Her guns have the one of the highest citadel hit damage of any round in the game, at 14800 HP per citadel hit. She has the fourth-largest hit points of any ship at tier X at a staggering 97200 next to Vermont’s 102800 Großer Kurfürst’s 105800, and Kremlin’s 108300. The pinnacle of all Japanese battleship design philosophy and possibly of the entire world, Yamato gains its place as one of the most solid battleships at her tier.
