About this ship
In the game, IJN Yamashiro is depicted in its 1920 form, which means it has a weaker anti-aircraft battery. However, the battleship is capable of firing a broadside from twelve 356 mm guns, a feat unmatched by any other ship of its rank. And its secondary armament of sixteen 152 mm guns will tear destroyers and light cruisers to shreds. The key is to stick with your allies and suppress the enemy with devastating firepower!
