User blog comment:Void Samukai/Yamato vs Bismarck:Why?/@comment-10905876-20160126041409

Yeah, there's really no comparison here. Bismarck is, for all her fancy bells and whistles, just an up sized WWI design. Her armor wouldn't be able to stop the 46cm guns of Yamato, and while her 36cm guns might penetrate the Yamato's armor, Yamato has an extra 10 kilometers of range over Bismarck. Bismarck's speed would only help if the goal was to avoid Yamato at all costs, and that's assuming Bismarck knew to turn tail and run before getting within Yamato's shooting range. Honestly, if people want to argue over a Japan vs Germany fight, Nagato vs Bismarck might be more reasonable, or maybe discuss the H44 instead of Bismarck.
