Also, no, Yamato is more like a "normal girl". Responsible and polite, quite similar to the usual non tyrannic Student Council President archtype.

There's already Akagi, though, so we don't really need another awesome sempai to look up to. No, I'd rather not think Akagi could die. |

In the few sentences she says about her one could think Yamato was the younger sister. I expect a certain running gag around her too

Yamato historically was kept back a lot, known as Hotel Yamato, since she spent more time sitting at Truk than doing any fighting in 1943.
But don't let that fool you, she is very deadly and has very accurate gunnery, rivaled only by Kongo in the Japanese Navy. Some sources record that she mission killed an escort carrier at a range over 30,000 meters. She is also known for her last stand on the way to Okinawa.

It would actually be good if she wasn't too much like her game counter part - gives hope for some of the other ships.
Like Maya where I still try to figure out whether her speech pattern is supposed to be arrogant or childish. So yeah Yamato being at least a bit different in the anime would wake hope in that regard.

Fun fact:
Yamato's shell caliber is actually BIGGER than on paper, which I think is pretty surprising given the accuracy of those babies in spite of the rule of thumb, bigger shell = more dispersion. Explains the penetration though. This is modelled in the game where she appears flatter than she actually is; this is revealed when Yamato receives quite a bit of damage. Even more fun fact: Takatatsu Ayana, the voice of Yamato, is a Cute-type idol who is really embarrassed of her humongous E-class assets and often dressed in ways to make them appear smaller. |
