so i finally unlocked yamato

[kapnobathrac]

having most tier x ships i decided that i need to have yamato, case why not ? i always said to myself that it looks quite pointless and guess what ? its a horrible ship just like i suspected IMO. Should have wasted my time on elbing instead

[doerhoff_damian]

I think she is still a decent ship. Just make sure that you are always angled because the ship does not like being hit in the broadside by other battleships and it also doesn´t like eating too many torps. So plan ahead because your turrets are quite slow but you have the ability to overmatch the 32mm plating on other bbs. That means they can not angle against you.

She is not a brawler like the kurfurst but she does well at mid to long range.

[LemonadeWarriorITA]

Terrible ship indeed. [/s]
 

It is one of the best BB’s in this game, perhaps even the best. If it was Russian it would have been OP with it’s overmatching block dispersion guns.

 

Share replays and we will help you.

slow down bud

It would be nice, if you tell me how you played Yamato till now. Coz she is far from horrible. Powercrept? Yup. But horrible? Nope

Also Elbing is a freaking DD which requires you to actually think about what you are doing and you would have done much worse in it (although go for Elbing and make the WR lower so that WG doesn't nerf the ship)

My wr is 53% solo random since I don’t platoon to beat other solo people but I still doubt that I’m the reason ships stats look bad.

 

anyway, I find Vermont or thunderer(and I’m playing mid range) a  better playing experience Bb wise  and even the republique and kremlin. I dislike her almost as much as GK which I sold and will never buy again. You can “overmatch” ships in the thunderer too with HE spamming and at least you can move without taking 25 years to do so. And that retarded nose Yamato has which you can citadel while you can barely citadel a kremlin from the side is just boring . Ship is boring 

[Karasu_Browarszky]

Kremlin sucks, GK does struggle at time, Rep I don't know, Vermont I don't know, Thunderer with AP can be devastating but can also suffer a lot, Yamato is the most dependable in the sense that it is less situational than the others.

And one more thing, I find that Yamato’s shells dispersion looks like English teeth most of the times which leads to a lot of damage output loss. I find other BBS more consistent, mine looks like kremlins at max range regardless of range unless it’s 10km of course 

[Yxkraft]

The commander rework slowed down yamatos turrets since the turret rotation skill changed from fixed speed improvement to relative improvement.  IMHO yamato turrets are so slow turning that the ship handling is seriously impacted in a negative way. You cant turn and fire at the same time. You have to use the rudder and turning the turrets to switch targets.

The yami isn't horrible...if you know how to handle it. As with most of the ships outta there. It's not the best pick for CB but for random she's still a beast at the right hands.

Bragging with WR makes only sense if you give the ppl a way to verify it ;) So u prefer Thundy and repu? One wrong turn and the yami shreds them, but neither the rpu or the thundy can blab the yami bow on. Situanional ships, that's the point. And burning to hell only works over time....time you might not get with a good yami cptn ;)

Dispersion isn't bad, maybe the aiming? I have over 500 games done with her and still don't have any problems with her average or above average dispersion. A GK or kreml is more a shotgun at distances over 14km...so? 

 

All in all it sounds more like a) not enuff games on the ship to get really in touch with her or b) just whining around because she didn't worked for you or your playstyle. Either way it's not the ships fault, she still can punch hard, precise and consistent. As konfuzius said: Mostly the biggest problem sits in front of the monitor ;)

I know right, how can someone insult the jewel of our fleet like that?

Yamato is not my best ship in randoms, im a lot better in it in CBs etc. But i love the devastating salvo potential. Its just that you need to plan your manoeuvres two minutes ahead, cause yamato isnt very manoeuvrable

Its still a good pick for comp. Saw a lot of it in KoTS.

I give a crap about WR tbh. I find it misleading. 

 

Vermont is slower than yamato and has 10 seconds more reload, and it can't overmatch BBs. Thunderer is a gun platform that is squishy at all ranges, coz if a Thunderer gets focused, it dies fast. Republique has only 8 guns and her dispersion can be " like English teeth most of the times which leads to a lot of damage output loss".  HE doesn't overmatch ships, and yes it does good dmg, but can it HE cit a BB, or deal heavy dmg in 1 go relatively to AP that overmatches them?? And that last statement made absolutely no sense. You still doubt you are the reason the ship looks bad?

Again over exaggerated statement to ridiculousness. Your aim must be crap and the game is trying to compensate for your shitty aim

Jokes aside, the Yamato horizontal dispersion is pretty respectable, but its vertical dispersion is worser than other ships. So can lead to trolly shots, but as consistently bad as a Kremlin. Yeah you probably haven't played that ship. 

[Humorpalanta]

Yamato is a nice looking ship. It has great guns but it has weak spots on the armor. I mean not every ship can be a Kremlin.

But TBH I could never make the Yamato work. For some reason RNG always hated me.

[Prophecy82]

My very first game in Yamato was great, I devstruck 2 Hindis.

Then it went all downhill...

I mean, at the end not all ships fit us, there is nothing wrong in that. Hell I have ships with good stats that I hate playing (Lepanto). Of course you can improve and make those ships work adapting your playstyle, but why bother if it isn't fun to you. That is why I don't play tier X, why bother to adapt yourself to the tier that is the pinnacle of all things that are wrong in this game.

Hahaha Kremlin was my worst tier X BB experience... funny how people think she is OP, those guns mate... they made me want to kill half the population of this world. And in a brawl I would take GK over Kremlin any day.

You need legendary upgrade on Yamato. So it is the most expensive tech tree ship in the game.

Its a common trend for me....

Ships that perform great in the very first game tend to get worse and worse for me. 

I think its a psychological thing of having too high expectations and after some time getting frustrated and starting tryharding... a classical vicious cycle. 

 

I know why I never touched Shima in randoms again after the first battle...

Yeah you're right, high expectations leads to suffering, suffering leads to anger, anger leads to the dark side... Congratulation you've become a sea Sith
