Heya, I'm only gonna respond to your first post, as reading the following arguments made me fall asleep, sorry.

But I'd like to offer some points as to why Musashi did less damage than Yamato on several occasions.

1) Engagment Form This is a pre-cap modifier, so it applies before FP capping square roots your extra FP. In Head-on Engagement for example, Musashi would be reduced to 137.6FP, which is below cap; while Yamato would be still at 162.4FP, above the cap.

2) Yamato's AP Ammunition AP Ammunition has a couple of known effects:  - Increasing critical rate   - Increasing damage and accuracy when paired with large Guns.   - Increasing damage against high armor targets. So even though Musashi does indeed have more actual accuracy points, the hidden effects of Yamato's AP shell compensates for not having a surface RADAR, as well as greatly increasing Yamato's damage.

3) Artillery Spotting type Another factor of Musashi doing less damage is due in part to the 15.5cm Secondary gun you equipped. If Musashi cuts in using the 15.5cm secondary, the damage modifier is 110%. If Yamato cuts in, due to the AP shell, it increases the damage modifier to 150%.

I think you will see better results if you replace Musashi's 15.5cm with a Main Cannon, and the radar with an AP shell. I can't say that the 51cm did not have any effect on the damage, but there are certainly more factors in the equipment loadouts than you realize.
