You guys keep forgetting the environment

If it's the pacific... There is no way in bloody hell it will ever win against the Yamato. It's the pacific ocean, where all of Bismarck's advantages are useless or stacked against it. The bismarck is designed for the atlantic, where spotting range is limited, the ocean is rougher, and where it's belt is most effective due to the shorter engagement range. In the Atlantic, it actually stands a very good chance of winning agaisnt the yamato, if it utilizies all the possible advantages it has in the atlantic. Sure, they may be able to penetrate each other, but the bismarck has a higher rate of fire than the yamato, as well as angling the vessel and still have most of it's guns pointed towards the yamato could make it harder for the yamato(though if the Yamato does the same... It'll be competely inpenetrable.). Really, in the atlantic, it could go either way.
