The displayed Yamato model has an 18-inch main belt, a 9.1-inch main deck, heavy turret and barbette protection, and reinforced bulkheads. Those figures answer the charge that the game ship was built to explode easily. The results still depend on the simulation and on the opponents chosen. Montana- and Tillman-style ships, especially their most extreme forms, never entered service. These duels test armour and firepower under counterfactual assumptions, so they cannot show how a historical battle would have unfolded.

Why these Yamato defeats need a counterfactual caveat
The game's Yamato carries heavy armour, but its repeated opponents are unbuilt Montana- and Tillman-style maximum battleships.
