Description:

I present a replica of the heaviest and most powerfully armed battleships ever constructed, the Yamato-class. Now updated to take advantage of Advanced Cannons!

Basic Stats:
Blocks: 51200
Length: 280
Mass: 33344
Top speed: 12 m/s ( 23 knots )
Buildtime: around 120 hours

Armament:
460mm Main guns: 9 (3×3), 30 seconds reload
155mm Secondary guns: 6 (2×3), 12 seconds reload
127mm Tertiary guns: 24 (12×2), 4.3 seconds reload
25mm AAA guns: 72 (24×3), 0.2 seconds reload, (only modeled those that were turreted)

All in all 111 barrels in 41 moving turrets.

Other Features:
– Fully walkable interior, top to bottom and fore to aft.
– Top mounted rangefinders tracking targets.
– Moving rear crane, launcher and modeled hangar space.
– Engine room physically connected to open smokestack.
– All five bigger center-line turrets contain protected internals sunken into hull and main guns have large walkable ammunition rooms below this.
– Fully beamed
– Roughly correct armor citadel layout ( 2-5 metal blocks thickness due to FTD armor mechanics )
– Officer dining room with gold decorations and Japanese flag ( located behind smokestack )

New Features in Update:
– Advanced cannons with real reload times, gauge and penetration depth for maingun shells
– Replaced decorations with some pictures, and added IJN flag
– Big fueltanks
– Better stabilization to prevent list and bouncing ( thanks for tip khaz! )
– Flooded some internal parts to get a nicer looking exterior/waterline
– Sloped with new 4m slopes
– Optimized blockcount (~-5000 blocks)
– Invisi-Shields strength 10 over the main 410mm belt armor and 650mm turret face armor
– Lights in the bridges

Known Issues:
– Performance 🙁
– AAA & Tertiary guns love blowing each-other up despite fail-safes installed.
