The book contains a full description of the design and construction of the battleship including wartime modifications, and a career history followed by a substantial pictorial section with rare onboard views of Yamato and her sister ship Musashi, a comprehensive portfolio of more than 1,020 perspective line artworks, 350 colour 3D views, and 30 photographs. Despite being heavily armored, her enormous citadel, high above waterline up to her belt, is still highly vulnerable when enemies have a clear shot at her broadside.Equipped with the largest guns and heaviest armour and with the greatest displacement of any ship ever built, the Yamato proved to be a formidable opponent to the US Pacific Fleet in the Second World War.Extremely vulnerable to fires due to the percent damage dealt to health pools.Casemate armor can be easily penetrated by other battleships, and even cruiser armor piercing rounds at close range.Poor shell velocity of the main battery makes it difficult to hit distant targets.Extremely slow turret traverse rate of 72 seconds for traversing 180 degrees.Even with upgraded AA the lack of short range AA guns will make you very vulnerable to enemy carriers should their strike aircraft get close enough to dump their payload.Very high notoriety and potential danger makes her a priority target for the enemy team.Extremely large size but still smaller than Izumo and Großer Kurfürst.Longest main battery range in the game, but shells take a long time to travel and are extremely inaccurate when firing at targets that far out.Impressive torpedo bulge as long as torpedoes hit her torpedo belt.

Surprisingly good agility for its size.Large quantity of secondaries can easily kill a destroyer at very close range.Third largest health pool and heaviest armor in the game.Extremely good dispersion, but landing hits on targets beyond beyond 18km is still challenging.Unrivaled main battery guns that can even penetrate other battleships at close range when they're bow on.Yamato’s AA capabilities were highly efficient due to carrying numerous AA artillery guns. The ship maintained a very high level of survivability due to reliable armor and robust torpedo protection. Her main guns had overwhelming firepower. Yamato was designed around the idea that an individual ship could have superiority over any battleship of a potential enemy.

She was the biggest warship of World War II and the world's largest battleship. Yamato is a Japanese Battleship featured in the game.eee
