Plaztma Players 141 posts 7,267 battles Report post #1 Posted April 4, 2017 (edited) Just unlocked Yamato after the loooong Izumo grind and just wanted to share to everyone that hasnt got it, its all that I wanted. Came around an island yesterday and oneshot a full hp Minotaur that didnt know what hit him I ragesold my US and IJN BBs a long while ago after finding that I didnt enjoy them and didnt perform as well as i should. Then the german BBs came out and they teached me how its done. Bought back Colorado and freed up the last xp to Amagi. I liked Amagi, found Izumo very boring and Yamato is the king. On the US line I liked Colorado and North Carolina and looking forward to the grind. Cruisers will allways be my main, but BBs has taken over as a good second.

[BUSHI] CuddlyPanda Players 352 posts 3,883 battles Report post #5 Posted April 4, 2017 Quite possibly the best sounding guns in-game. Love mine even thou I don't play it much Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[H_FAN] Gnirf Players 3,293 posts 67,343 battles Report post #6 Posted April 4, 2017 Yamato is the sort of goal as the ultimate built battleship. Only paperships to counter it as a BB. Besides no one could deny her graceful lines. The ultimate 18-inch guns, she was built to survive 5 torps and continue to fight (it says so in the design specs), meaning that the list should be reduced to enable her to fire her main guns after 5 torp hits. My first T10 too but have not played her so much, have grinded other lines, used her mostly in the hon. service Campaign. It is easier to reach the damage German, US ships etc in Yamato than in other ships. I will maybe reach Montana (are at Iowa now) and GK (grinding BIs) but I can not get the same drive to advance through paper ships. I may reach them during 2017, but they are not on high priority list. OP I share your take on Izumo, I freeXped the last 100000 or so, only Emerald was as painful.

Izumo is far from bad, even when that crap stock hull with useless shells was still around (yes I grinded THAT ). But I also liked Myogi, pre-buffs Furutaka and Pepsicola or the Ognevoi at tier VI so, biased opinion Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SmartassNoob Players 723 posts 5,774 battles Report post #8 Posted April 4, 2017 i with they add the MUSASHI or the A-150 BBs The Musashi would be a great tier 10 premium, but the A-150 would have to be at least tier 11. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Where even DDs don't go anywhere near the zones means I leave all my big ships in port usually Yes after last patch it seems like most classes are more scared of pushing. I like getting in there and really looked forward to do some brawling with Yamato, but with no ships pushing its been me alone to many times. A solo Yamato cap isnt the best idea and i have died every time with cruisers and dds behind me I think I will have to bring some mates in and play it more in division.

A solo Yamato cap isnt the best idea and i have died every time with cruisers and dds behind me I think I will have to bring some mates in and play it more in division. This is the problem I have. I see a lot of ships push (me along with them) only to turn back the second they see the other team.......of course the Yam being the Yam everyone always seems to want to shoot at me first.......which makes trying to disengage a real pain in fact more often than not I'll take a lot of damage trying to (depending on what we run into). Its gotten to the point now that I keep finding myself standing off and fighting at range because the rest of my team are hiding at the back. I'll happily push but more often than not no one else seems to want too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just unlocked Izumo as of this moment. One step closer to Yamato. What captains skills did you pick? My Izumo captain will be carried over to Yamato.

Plaztma Players 141 posts 7,267 battles Report post #16 Posted April 27, 2017 I agree with Flamus build. I gotta say I really love Yamato, what a fun ship! Just tried to put all secondary modules on it, not the secondary focus capt skill, will try that later. Really fun and feels good with some closerange protection. I guess secondaries isnt the universially recomended way to go for it, but i just love that rain of shells, and it seems to work very well as a repellent. A lot of enemies will turn away because they are afraid off the secondaries and eat citadells from my mains when doing so Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr_Burke Players 261 posts 3,957 battles Report post #17 Posted April 28, 2017 (edited) Isn't Izumo just an Dunkerque on super steriods? I mean they're both suppose to be bow in attackers. And both seems to benefit from hill / mountain cover shooting. Edited April 28, 2017 by Mr_Burke Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you are then most of your secondaries won't have line of sight, you'll need to show a bit of broadside to get your secondaries to fire. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GhostRiderMax123 ∞ Players 769 posts 3,782 battles Report post #23 Posted May 4, 2017 ok, thanks i found it. thanks! Ok I was going to say that if you have the manual secondarys skill you have to select the target you want your secondarys to engage. Personally I've stopped using it my secondarys have since saved me a number of times from DD's that I've not really noticed ect Its always a nice suprise when you're secondarys save you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Indeed in my second battle with my Yam I was busy dispatching a Tirpitz that had appeared at very short range when I got the kill message. Some poor DD had come around the corner and my secondarys lit it up Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
