sinking the yamato

Well, with the Yamato, often your first attack will be to slow it down, which often requires another end around to finish it off. However, if you can get all your bow tubes in it, turn in time to get your sterns in it, you can sink it or stop it on the water with one attack.

In some cases you'll run into TF that have two Y's, so I'll want to sink both and try to shoot 6 into one, 4 into the other, slow them both down and do as many end arounds as needed to finish them off.

Yes, they can repair to a certain degree like your sub, but it takes time and like you they can't repair bulkhead damage at sea. However, if they get fires out, water pumped and engines fixed, you'll have to chase for longer periods, which gives them more time to repair.

Sweet spots on the Y, turrents and engines. If you can do a lot of engine damage, least you can slow it down. I have shot at it's rear before with a few torps into the props and stopped it on the water... Once I put several in the bow alone, it went down enough forward that the props came out of the water. The props were still spinning fast, but it couldn't go anywhere.
