Special Attacks/Yamato Touch

Yamato gains two different specials attacks on Kai Ni/Juu.

The devs have called them:

• "1st Squadron, charge! Main guns, full salvo!" (第一戦隊、突撃！主砲、全力斉射ッ！)
  • for the touch with only Musashi.
• "Yamato, charge! Second ship, please follow up!" (大和、突撃します！二番艦も続いてください！)
  • for the touch with other ships it can be a 2-ship or a 3-ship touch.

However, mechanic-wise it makes more sense to distinguish the touches as 2-ship touch and 3-ship touch:

Yamato 2-ship Touch

"Touch Helpers"

• Yamato Kai Ni/Juu must be the flagship.
  • Secretary for combined fleets.
  • She must not be more than lightly damaged (小破).

    during sortie causing remaining < 6. Ships in the escort fleet are not affected.
