Bigger is not always better (so I tell The Frau)
Taking aircraft out of the equation (which is unrealistic) I wonder how the Yamato would have been in a real battleship slug fest?
Sure it had 46cm rounds with a max range of 42,000 meters (22nm), but would the type 94 gun really be that effective at that range?
I wonder how many Nagato "Mod 2s" could have been built for one Yamato?
In any case, the Yamato is a cooleo battleship. I just don't know how effective it would have been.
