Yamato Sweetspot?

But if I remember correctly, the Yamato's armor did not extend all the way to her bow or her stern.

I find this to be the case in-game, too. I find it much easier to get her to keel over just by hitting her at her bow and stern. When she tilts but does not go down, I usually just send a single torp into her now exposed deck by a turret to finish her off.

I don't know how realistic THAT is, per se, but I know it works. You get enough flooding in any of the BBs in the game, and they will list to a side until it gets to a point that part of their deck is underwater (even if that part is no more than 2m under). Once that happens, it seems that there is no armor on the deck, making for easy pickings. If you can't get a lucky shot once it's at that point, just fire a few more at her deck at different points. It may not blow the ship up, but it WILL cause a list so bad that it goes under.
