Why is Izumo's artillery rating higher than Yamato?

[Zampy]

As stated, the Izumo's top artillery configuration rating is at 91 in game.  By comparison, the Yamato is rated at 89.  How is that...?

Your arty rating isn't just dictated by your main guns, but by your secondaries too. Izumo has 4 turrets that have tripple 8" gun mounts in them, by comparison, Yamato only has 2 of those turrets.

Final hull for Izumo only has 1 triple turret, the rest are dual turrets, and Yamato has more of those.  Additionally, Yamato's caliber is 460 vs Izumo's 410 which should more than make up for one triple turret secondary.

Izumo carries a cruiser on it's back...that's why.

Could be pilot skills and upgrades making the Izumo's numbers higher.

When you pull the trigger and hit another ship, are you really paying attention to those generalized performance per tier numbers?  Or are you watching HP melt off everything you land shells on?

That is exactly the reason. Put your Izumo commander in the Yamato and you will see the rating increase.

I don't have either ship yet, so commander skills are not playing a part in this.  This is strictly from viewing them from the tech tree and module screen.

Damage, turret turn, reload speed, range, dispersion, and mix of secondaries all affect the number. A gun with shorter range but higher damage could still be a lower number.

 

On the Ranger, upgrading a plane to have more HP, but 8kph slower, reduces the aircraft rating by two. The number ratings are a general combination of characteristics, what really matters is how you do in it.

[Zampy]

The Yamato exceeds Izumo in every category of main caliber and secondary, except turret traverse.  It's not something I think really matters for game balance or play, I'm just oddly curious since I've seen a bunch of these ratings values change after 4.1

They really should give Yamato her 1942 configuration; a lot less AA (not that it was ever that effective), but 2 more triple 155cm turrets.
