Yamato-class does get accuracy penalties from using 46cm guns and there are plenty of tests around it (1  2 ). The penalty is a lot smaller compared to 46cm on other ships so I'm guessing that could be the developer's 'standard' for Yamato-class's 'fit guns' since other classes suffer heavily from 46cm guns while they don't get affected by it that much.

It's pretty clear no ships get bonuses from using 46cm guns (and like what OP said, the only tests which showed they do are done with ships in the high 140~150 level range, suggesting the bonuses very likely come from some other level modifiers instead), which could be the reason why most people think 46cm guns aren't fit on Yamato-class since they behave differently from other 'fit' guns on the other BBs.

Debating is fine and all but caps, profanities and that 'I am right and you guys are wrong' attitude are just pushing it. As a reminder, what was mentioned in the magazine was "guns thought to be fit on the various battleships".

Not sure if this would interest OP but 51cm guns on Yamato-class seem to give better results than 46cm guns (1 ), though there's no bonus here either. Possibly because the 51cm's theoretical turret weight wasn't that far off from 46cm guns'.
