Gameplay Notes

Special Mechanics

She can carry seaplane fighters.

Overview

Kai

Great firepower, HP and armour.
Very long default range.

Fit Bonuses

Hidden Fit Bonuses

She has accuracy bonuses and penalties when equipped with certain large guns. Please see Gun Fit Bonuses for mode details.

Analysis

Priority: Low

She is a powerful battleship that is relatively easy to obtain. However, since she is from LSC, she is prohibitively expensive for new players compared to the benefits she brings. She is also very costly to run. Although she can carry seaplane fighters, she needs to compromise her combat ability to do so.

↑ After being torpedoed by the USS Skate, she had two 15.5cm secondary guns removed during repairs and replaced with extra AA guns and machine guns.
↑ The "decisive battle" (艦隊決戦) was the underpinning doctrine of the IJN that called for a strong battleship force that would break the enemy fleet in a massive naval battle after operations had weakened them.
↑ A combination of her being kept in port for most of her career and her luxurious living facilities, she was called 'Hotel Yamato'.
↑ Her officer's quarters had air conditioning and heating and she even had ice cream and ramune making facilities on board. In addition, the kitchen staff were professionals recruited from restaurants. During the Commander's lunch, a military band would play for 40 minutes which was broadcast throughout the ship. The regular crew themselves had actual beds compared to the hammocks used by other ships.
↑ The Imperial General Headquarters (大本営) was for coordinating efforts between the Army and the Navy.
↑ This line is shared with expedition selection, resource collection, instant repair and development.
↑ A bracket is where subsequent salvos land on either side of a target. Either too far and too short or left and right. This means that minor adjustments are needed for a hit.
↑ During Ten-Go, an air attack caused her to list to port that was corrected with counterflooding.

Trivia

She is named after Yamato Province, modern day Nara Prefecture.
2013 August event E-4 completion reward

Was cynically referred as "Yamato Hotel", a hotel located in Dalian China during WW2 time, as she never took part in any major battle pre-1944 due to her high consumption and her status as IJN's flagship. Referred the same in-game as for same reason.
Yamato's remodel art features a 'Hirihoukenten (非理法権天)' kneesock (originally a flag). It reflects one of the old philosophy in feudal Japan where foolishness (非) is not above sensibility (理), sensibility is not above law (法), law is not above authority (権), and authority is not above divinity (天). As the emperor was treated as a divine figure in imperial Japan it has a meaning of "no men can oppose the (divine) emperor". A slogan adopted by the Imperial Japanese navy, this flag was hung on Yamato on her final voyage towards Okinawa.
Sunk 7 April 1945 north of Okinawa (at 30° 22′ 0″ N, 128° 4′ 0″ E) in the famed Operation Ten-Go, along with Yahagi, Isokaze, Kasumi, Hamakaze and Asashimo.
Wreck discovered on August 1st, 1985, in 1,120 ft of water in the East China Sea 180 miles Southwest of Kyushu and North of Okinawa .
She wears an Armband that resembles the Maritime signal Flag for the letter "Z", the Z flag played a major role in Japanese Naval History. On May 27, 1905, Admiral Heihachirō Tōgō raised the Z flag on his flagship the IJN Mikasa before the start of the Battle of Tsushima and the Z flag was raised on the Akagi on the eve of the Attack on Pearl Harbor. The raising of the flag means the following: "The fate of Imperial Japan hangs on this one battle; all hands will exert themselves and do their best."
