I know Yamato was a big, sturdy girl - and this is exaggerated for comedic effect - but I'm gonna guess under marginally more realistic conditions that Iowa would've fared at least a might better then that against her.
Yamato, Yamato. You know full well that there are two clear paths for your kind. Fully Armored Support Carrier convertion (Shinano) or Space Battleship (Yamato). Neither of those use Zuiun. The first one can use real Zeros and the like. The second....heh, heh. Cosmo Zero and Cosmo Tiger.
"Iowa: Save me Montana" she say.. wait a sec, USS Montana(the tier 10 Battleship) didn't even exist due to fact that she was cancaled during construction?
Kii is not A-150 though... it's actually a way older Design than the Yamatos...
it was a next project propose next to Amagi class battleship(Akagi big sister) and the Tosa class Battleships(kaga's big sister), which is still a paper ship and never constructed due to fact that IJN suffer from resources and focus on DD and cruiser also the Yamato class battleship, also let's not forget the washington naval treaty and the london naval treaty.
the A-140 is a new project next to Yamato class with a 510 mm guns, but canceled due to fact that the war just already began..
Yamato, Yamato. You know full well that there are two clear paths for your kind. Fully Armored Support Carrier convertion (Shinano) or Space Battleship (Yamato). Neither of those use Zuiun. The first one can use real Zeros and the like. The second....heh, heh. Cosmo Zero and Cosmo Tiger.
Yamato!Save me, Montana!I knew it... absolutely no effect!You're falling into heresy again!Open your eyes!Believe in Zuiun!Maybe.16inch Triple Gun Mount Mk.7If you do, then it's possible to convert to an aviation battleship!
The implementation of your Kai-2 wouldn't be a dream either!KAI-2, YOU SAY!?Practice Rounds, BroadsideListen to this, Yamato.YOU'RE BEING TRICKED, COME ON!Hyuuga-san told me all about it, you know.There's a real possibility!Doesn't it seem like there'd have been a plan for you to get loaded up with lots of Zuiuns?
