As the largest and most powerful battleships ever built, the Yamato-class boasts the highest combat stats among all battleships available to the player. Their firepower is so high that they can still achieve the daytime damage cap even when sufficiently damaged. It should be noted that their outstanding power comes with a cost, in the form of immense deployment costs, roughly 2,5x times that of the [[Nagato]]-class.

As the largest and most powerful battleships ever built, the Yamato-class boasts the highest combat stats among all battleships available to the player. They also have the longest range in-game as base, enabling them to fire first in almost every battle they partake in.

Battleships generally do not have torpedoes and thus they can not take part in the [[Combat#Day_Combat|closing torpedo phase]], nor gain an additional boost to their [[Combat#Night_Combat|night-time firepower]]. In addition for being the largest surface vessels armed with conventional ballistic weapons, battleships have four equipment slots once fully upgraded and have access to [[List_of_Seaplanes_by_stats|catapult-based seaplanes]] that can enable [[Combat/Artillery_Spotting|daytime artillery spotting with the appropriate equipment setups.]]
