While being historically incorrect and certainly being disadvantagous, by far the most citadel hits you take to the side would have wrecked NC as well. The citadel position being too high above the waterline gets too much attention imho. From there your citadel can be penned even if the ship itself is angled. Most vulnerable point: the "cheek" on the hull between foreship and midship, near turret A. In short, Iowa/Missouri have the assets Yamato is missing, but their armor is a bit more squishy. Missouri (talking from Iowa point of view, I am approx 100k free xp short right now) has monstrous AA and great speed allows for repositioning and chasing ships. You often dictate the fleet movement as all lower tier BBs will just stick to you and hide behind your massive booty, on the other hand a charging Yamato is quite frightening so expect a lot of HE coming your way from every direction. Also, keep in mind that you have a 7 km minimum range if bow-on to the enemy, as turret B cannot superfire A at close range. Anything farther away can dodge (if you hit, you still hit hard, even at 22 km), and anything closer might outrun your turret rotation. Bow towards enemy, adjust speed, aim, shoot. Only her sides are vulnerable to close range BB shells, and her bow doesn't like torps. As Flamu said in his commentary once: "Yamato doesn't give a sh*t". Her guns don't care much about armor thickness or angling, neither does her armor.
