Yamato is the quintessential battleship. Sluggish, weak if flanked, and will sock you so hard in the schnoz that your descendants will feel it. I wish BB gameplay was more like Yamato in general.

Also, a few weeks after the carrier rework, they feel damn anemic now. It's not that they're all bad, but when your main strength is spotting it gets boring real quick. It's kinda like Shimakaze.

Please do not insult the Shima like that. I can actually do damage with Shima. The CVs are worthless.

Not worthless, but like Shima it requires the enemy team to play badly to work, and neither of them work consistently in the current meta.

Just unlocked Midway and there really is no reason why a Des Moines should be able to kill a full HP wave before I can launch a single rocket at it.

I get the feeling that CVs still are far too binary. It's really hard to have an OK game in them; they're either completely broken games or I do sub-50k at Tier 10. At the same time, the perma-spotting of DDs breaks the game in yet another way.
