World of Warships is a naval warfare-themed MMO arcade game produced by Cyprus-based developer and publisher Wargaming Group Ltd.

WoWS gameplay is team-based; players are in command of historical (from WWI to the end of the 1950s) warships picked from four available classes (destroyer, cruiser, battleship and aircraft carriers) and navies (Kriegsmarine, Imperial Japan Navy, Royal Navy, US Navy, Soviet Navy, Polish Navy, Republic of China Navy, People's Liberation Army Navy, French Navy and Royal Australian Navy), and are pitted in two-team battles for domination of one or more spots on a given map. Each match ends with either the 100% capture by one team of all "cap" points, or the complete annihilation of the opposite team. A timer also forces the players to reach a decisive conclusion to their battle as swiftly as possible.

Players use their experience and financial rewards to unlock increasingly modern and powerful vessels, culminating with the end 1940s-1950s' Tier X (many of which are actually "paper designs", having never been built due to the end of the Second World War and/or the ineluctable obsolescence of the traditional battleship caused by the advent of missile-launching boats and the supremacy of carrier-based aviation).

The Yamato is World of Warships' endgame content, the final destination and biggest trophy (except maybe the Missouri or the Black, since both require a lot of work and effort to get) that all players vie for. Armed with the most powerful and longest-ranged guns in the entire game, the Yamato (AKA Design A-140-F6) is a vessel that harbors unbridled firepower yet comes with significant shackles that restrict its ability to utterly lay waste to the battlefield. It has slow turret traverse, sports massive superstructures that are easy to hit or set on fire, boasts a wide turning radius, questionable AA, is as surreptitious as a rampaging rhinoceros in a porcelain shop and tends to overpenetrate the smaller enemy ships rather than wreck them outright.

Captaining a Yamato demands a lot of planning and constant rethinking. This battleship cannot sail alone into battle, and it cannot venture too close to the frontline lest it be pelted senseless by enemy cruisers and destroyers alike. Its secondary complement is impressive but not omnipotent, and will, more often than not, fail to fully annihilate a torpedo plane wing the closer it gets to you. Being in a Yamato often means your teammates will let you be by yourself, as if like a giant, immovable fortress…pointedly ignoring the fact that the largest battleship of all times never does well when deprived of close support.

I have myself experienced what it means to drive a Yamato: you can dish a lot of damage, but things can also go VERY wrong for you. My matches in this ship have not always been stellar for the reasons stated above - when you are in the Yamato, you sometimes feel helpless, like a marathon runner forced to compete with a heavy load strapped to his back. I however had, in the past couple of days, had two very good matches I thought would be worth the trouble sticking together and uploading here. You'll note that Isoroku Yamamoto has been assigned as my Yamato's captain and I have purchased its Type 20 permanent camouflage so that I can still have positive income once my player account runs out of premium time and reverts to standard.

The footage was recorded with Windows 10's in-built Game DVR, since NVidia ShadowPlay was giving me trouble.
