Nah. Iowa-class would be the better choice. Yamato may have had the bigger guns,but IIRC they actually didn't pack as much punch as the 16" guns on the Iowas.

Personally, my vote is for the Mighty Mo.

Sorry, but it wouldn't be able to keep up with current fleet speeds.

The Musashi was very close to a twin to the Yamato. Neither was indestructable.
I'd prefer an Iowa class, but if we had the Yamato/Musashi class, we'd need to have the Iowa class. Of course, most fleets are the same, so whatever one side has, the other most often has the same.

No, the 18s hit harder.  Just the Yamato's fire control wasn't nearly as good and it's AA wasn't as good.

Still, a Japanese task group built around a Yamato BB with a couple Takao class CAs and some DDs  would make a nice BB group addition.

     How hard do you need to hit to sink a converted merchant ship?  Or
did the Yamato class engage something heavier that I'm not aware of?

Yes bring it to AH2!
what we need is for it to cost like 30,000 perk perks.
So it would cost someone almost upto 2-3 years of aceshigh Gv play to afford one.
Then make it so slow and huge a intire base will up to pound it into the sea.
then when it reaches its last frame of animation before sinking,have it say in console "duh i died because im big & stupid"

Also, the Japanese 18" shells didn't have near the ballistics and performance of the American 16" guns, so that may have been where I misinterpreted about damage
