I'm just wondering how on earth did this get through playtesting?
I've calculated the damage potential of all the ships... that is, the AD x DD added up for all guns. That is the maximum damage dice that can be rolled in a broadside attack. Pretty much all War level ships are either 24 or 27, except the King George V at 20, and the Yamato at... wait for it... 36. It has basically 50% more firepower than most other ships in its PL. Not only that, this firepower is Super AP and its range is 46".
But surely you say, there must be some disadvantages that balance it out? Err... Armour 6+, Armoured Deck, Torpedo Belt, pretty good secondary armament and excellent AA, 54 damage points (well above average) and on top of that it is Agile.
This ship should be Armageddon level.
