According to a Japanese naval historian, if an Iowa could close the range, the Iowa would have the upper hand, if the Yamato could stay at max range the Yamato would have the advantage. That being said max range BB fire isn’t always as accurate and the Iowa had a speed and radar advantage at any range.
@@hattrick8684 i think I knew that. The only real restriction on the Iowas were its Width and Armour Thickness in certain areas as it had to fit through the Panama Canal. They through the concept out for the Planned Montana Class. Which in my opinion, would have been a Super Battleship for the US.
@@hattrick8684 I think you got that mixed up: the Iowa's guns are made for long range and plunging fire. Iowa would be able to destroy the Yamato at long range. However at close range an Iowa would have a hard time dealing a full broadside from the Yamato's 18.1" guns.
Yeah, I'd say I'm about 50% effective at the moment. My brother in law actually took 6 months to fully get back to normal, fingers crossed that it's a bit quicker for me, but no worries, I'm doing a little better every day.
@@FunandGameswithTerry Somehow I missed somthing... What happened Terry??? Hope whatever it is, you're doin ok!!! After years of watching n learning from you, youre like fam!!!👍
Idk why I like listening to you talk about these ships so much haha. It's so much better than watching those tiny little 7 minute videos with no words lol.
She sunk the Johnston, maybe not the final blow but the major blows. Johnston was hit with several 460mm BCAP shells, which punched straight through. Johnston was also hit with several secondary battery shells and a few cruiser shells. Towards the end of the battle HC was used to devastating effect.
👍 You're one of the few reviewers who has the pronunciation right. It's "yama-to", not "ya-MAH-to". 👉 Nagato is pronounced similarly. It's naga-to, not na-GAH-to. 👉Akatsuki is almost always mispronounced with 4 syllables, "ah-khat-soo-key", when it's supposed to be 3 syllables, "ah-khat-ski". The "u" is completely silent. 👉Mutsuki is likewise butchered. It's 2 syllables, not 3. It's "moot-ski", not "moot-soo-key". 👉Kagero = "kah-gir-o" , not "ka-GEHR-o". 👉Yugumo = "yoo-guh-mo", not "yuh-GOO-mo".
Great Review Terry... Can't wait to get my Yamato. But more importantly take care and hope you recover quickly. We need your healthy voice laughing again while having fun in this game 🍻♥️
The 3 other Yamato Class... - Musashi: Sister Ship (The 2nd Class Of Yamato) - Shinano: Aircraft Carrier (The 3rd Class of The Supposed Yamato Battleship) - Kure: Never Made it into Production (The 4th Class of The Supposed Yamato Battleship)
Well, good ol' Yamato, solid 460mm guns, armour is not terrible, maneuverability is on the meh side, trash secondaries and AA(well, historically accurate...) The grind for her is pain tho Izumo is entirely a shell magnet, made out of citadels. Amagi is not really terrible, but the t8 meta makes Amagi look less competitive. I used to love Yamato, but as time went by, she doesn't really suit my playstyle anymore. I eventually reached the Republique, and man do I love that meme machine.
This ships first prototype also had the disgusting pagoda superstructure and the 356 in 3x3 configuration, seeing the prototype completely Hurts my eyes
I knew the Yamato wasn't just rusting her career away in port, but yea I honestly didn't know she sunk a CV and a DD, which the more you learn lol. But yea Yamato if I am not mistaken missed the action in the Battle of Leyte Gulf which we know Musashi was sunk in that battle and there is some saying that the group where Yamato was at, the Iowa was also in that general direction, and both were very close to actually engaging, which that would have been incredible to have seen (except if you were a crew on the Iowa). But yea things happened and that clash never happened. The Americans upon realizing how powerful these ships were made them realize that it was a good idea to just CV them. Awesome video as usual Terry, and hope for you a swift recovery.
Honestly i don't think the USN had any clue how big the guns were, or how truly massive they were til postwar. Obviously scrutinizing photos from the attack on Musashi gave the first decent intel and clues, but I dont think the USN was afraid of sending Iowas up against them, and imho, an Iowa vs Yamato battle could go either way- chance, luck, and who lands the first blows, as well as what weather, day/night, and conditions were present, rather than any overwhelming superiority or advantage, would determine a victor...
@@wheels-n-tires1846 Indeed the USN didn't know the full details until the post war period. Even tho they got a first good look on Musashi, the Americans still thought they had 406mm guns but yea they just had no clue. Yea a clash between these two would heavily depend on the weather and such. If there was good weather, then Yamato would be more likely to win but since Japanese radar wasn't too good then cloudy or other bad weather would put Yamato at a disadvantage. That and Iowa can disengage and use it's speed. Yamato was still fast at 27.5 knots tho
@@COMMANDER-wm9vr Agreed- I think the Iowas speed and radar gave an initial edge. Rate of fire helps a bit too. Of course those advantages could go away really quick after a few 18.1in hits... Unless its a night action where the Iowa has all the advantages, its really flip a coin battle I think...
@@wheels-n-tires1846 I agree with you. Although the Japanese were known for being good night fighters too (like shown in the Battle of Savo Island) But with radar and speed yea no doubt the Iowa has a big advantage over Yamato although yea as you said a few hits will make the Iowa retreat if the Yamato doesn't get a good hit on her first
Great to see you back Terry. The unique equipment is a bit of a rip with the downgrade in turret traverse. Is that a mix up perhaps? Do you think it should be increased traverse? Definitely not worth it IMO. I still love Amagi despite the bad rep. Very hard to get used to but still fun to play
There are many ships that have the decreased turret survivability. I think this is similar in that its a different, but calculated risk to use. I think most legendary equipment is like that.
I KNEW IT Also I wanted to say that I’m also trying to get the Yamato, I’m at the Izumo. And I’m not enjoying it, especially since I put no blueprints on the ship since I’m saving it for the Yamato. And I have Yamamoto on the ship
Stock Izumo grind has been exceedingly painful. I would have spent the blueprints if it wasn't for the turret bug, but for me, that makes Izumo a T9 Nagato with 6 guns. I ended up paying 300k free XP. If they fix the bug, I'll do an Izumo review, and we'll see how bad it really is.
Do you have any idea why Blitz is down? Is it due to sanctions? And there is a rumour that a WOWS employee said on Twatter that it might be down for 14 more days? That would be just after the midterms, right?
This was my first T10 bb as well. I'm weird though, I enjoyed pretty much the whole IJN bb line. Of course it helps to have the legendary commander Yamamoto :). I'm CptCarryPants in game.
Kongo was great, Fuso was ok. Nagato is one of the highlights imo, I play her almost like a German BB. Amagi is rough for her tier, especially due to the turret bug. Izumo I believe actually may work as a pure back row fire support, but I have to test with an actually upgraded ship.
@@FunandGameswithTerry Very interesting! For me Fuso is one of the great battleships in the game. Just checked, my wr in her is a little over 75%, and avg dmg just over 50k. I have the black Izumo and actually quite like that ship, but it certainly has significant quirks. One thing I think worth mentioning about that ship is the rear triple 3 gun secondary guns. In event of kiting/running from a destroyer those guns are very useful. Too bad I can't give you my Yamato historic camo! I sold that ship when I got the Black Yamato. Definitely on point about the Amagi. If I'm using an IJN ship in T8 it will be the Kii.
@@FunandGameswithTerry I think we have fairly different play styles :). In IJN battleships I try to avoid brawling if at all possible haha. I don't care much about turret traverse or maneuverability in those battleships. I set up for accuracy and range. I thoroughly enjoy trying to be very tactical and strategic with how I set up at the beginning of a match so as to reduce changes of direction as much as possible. I really enjoy your content keep it up!
Wow impressive that was my plan as well when you maxed your yamamoto would you please make another video again to see how much those two last skills are effective.
I suppose it depends a bit on your play style. I really enjoyed the grind. However, I like to sit at range and snipe/lend fire support, which isn't everyone's cup of tea.
For me, yes. I don't enjoy pure long-range fire support too much, and was pleasantly surprised how well she holds at mid range. It's a great combo of enough range to cover half the map, and enough armour to slug it out when needed. This is what Kremlin should have been, but can't play due to troll dispersion, poor pen and abysmal secondaries. Yama fills this role really well.

@@FunandGameswithTerry ok thx a lot Terry and also when r ur play times and now I can’t play because I can’t log in due to the annoyingly long Technical Issues Oh and also, Thx but I can’t use it because my computer is shit and so I edit on my phone
So quick question...(sad ive been playing 4+ yrs and dont know this). The citadel rate- is that XXX% times the shell damage?? Is any damage reduction factored in or is it straight shell alpha damage times citadel percentage???
Ignoring the T12 captain skill, or legendary skills, it's alpha * cit_factor * (1 - damage_reduction). Looking at 23:03, I'm hitting a CC. Yama's AP alpha is 2299, citadel factor is 300%, and CC's damage reduction is 16.5%, so it's 2299 * 3 * (1 - 0.165) = 5759. In game, we see 5757, so they round a little differently, but that's how this works.
The Yamato. The only true super battleship to exist. Well, that and Musashi.
Iowa BB's is on par with yamato
@@azrael7667 Pretty close.
Id flip a coin on a 1v1 battle...

Hi Terry. Thanks for another great video. Glad you're on the road to feeling better. Carry on taking it easy until you're felling 100%.

Yama is also my first T10, I guess a lot of people really want to go for this ship, even with Colombo and Vermont around.
One of my fav ship at t10 even i have vermont but my first love is my yama 🤩🤩🥰
Great Review Terry... Can't wait to get my Yamato. But more importantly take care and hope you recover quickly. We need your healthy voice laughing again while having fun in this game 🍻♥️
She gets a lot of love but holy damn Midway enjoys bullying it
Early morning treat. Thank you Terry!
Glad to have you back ❤
By the way, the tier 3 German battle cruiser has the turret bug and the the last secondary gun on the Cleveland has it too 😢
Just noticed it today on the T6 German BC too...😖
Hope you are feeling better sir.
A little, still recovering. I'll ramp up video production again slowly, but still need to take it easy on doctor's orders this week
What's different that Musashi is T9 and Yamato is T10?
The 3 other Yamato Class...
- Musashi: Sister Ship (The 2nd Class Of Yamato)
- Shinano: Aircraft Carrier (The 3rd Class of The Supposed Yamato Battleship)
- Kure: Never Made it into Production (The 4th Class of The Supposed Yamato Battleship)

I think precise aiming (and also secondary overload) increases the sigma value
I only discovered World of Warships a few years ago and I’m currently grinding for Yamato. I’m currently grinding with the Tier V battleship Kongō
Great vid as always Terry, very informative :D thanks
This ships first prototype also had the disgusting pagoda superstructure and the 356 in 3x3 configuration, seeing the prototype completely Hurts my eyes
It's faster to turn the ship than to turn your guns.
About time, i'm very bad at this boat. Hope u can enlighten me Terry

would be more famous than the bismarck fight
