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. 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.

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.]]

However, battleships do not come equipped with anti-submarine warfare (ASW) capabilities and are thus susceptible to enemy submarine squadrons, which is why battleships are highly reliant on lighter ships like Destroyers or Light Cruisers to dispatch them. This is generally advised, as having a single battleship in an ASW-fleet enables an additional attack for all surface ships to dispatch submarines without the submarines gaining any additional attacks outside their opening and closing torpedoes. An [[List_of_Aviation_Battleships_by_upgraded_maximum_stats|Aviation Battleship]] is typically recommended, since they are capable of attacking submarines with their seaplane bombers.

'''Yamato''' (大和?) was the lead ship of the Yamato class of Imperial Japanese Navy World War II battleships. She and her sister ship, Musashi, were the heaviest battleships ever constructed, displacing 72,800 tonnes at full load and armed with nine 46 cm (18.1 inch) 45 Caliber Type 94 main guns, which were the largest guns ever mounted on a warship. Neither ship survived the war.
