I bet a Mk. 48 ADCAP would bring her down with one or two hits under the keel. I've seen test films where one of those babies blows a target cruiser clean in half.
No argument there. However, what I think players tend to forget, it that the Yamato was MASSIVE! Bloody huge, even by todays standards. At one point she took three bomb hits on her decks and just kept going...

Ironically, it wasn't the surface Navy that got her, it was Naval aircraft. While the designers made her incredibly strong hull-wise, her anti-aircraft armament was lacking for a vessel her size. She refitted a few times her AA equipment, but it wasn't enough...
