For 4-5 my CAs and FBBs are doing just fine. I think the LSC BBs are best for highly difficult maps like 5-5, Spring 2015 E6, Summer 2015 E3&7 etc.

Okay i better gather some balls to LSC for those BBs after im done with the event. Oh well if you want to go down that line.

You can argue no map must have LSC BBs. YOu dont need them for 5-5, certainly not spring ( i manage to clear hard with a very limited fleet. I was quite new back then).I seen people clear summer withiout them too.

Of course it all coming back to make your life easier.

Just to give an example. I use 3BB 1CVL 2CV in 5-5 (i have all LSC ships)

I have sortied 9 times in 5-5 so far. My Yamato class has 0 red/orange damaged. only small (no medium/large)

My FBB (Italia, i chose her over BSM). Got Red once (1-2 times orange)

My 2 CV (Shokaku K2A and Taihou) got rekt at least 15 times combinied.

Just to demonstrate the power of Yamato class BB in this game.

They are good to have for sure, but never MUST have. But after you trained your main fleet, you really just have nothing to do. Training ships from 80 to 90 will not improve your fleet that much.

But having Yamato / Musashi really do improve your fleet in those hard maps by a lot.

THat is my view anyway.

Final note: regarding 4-5 it is very luck driven map (boss final kill) I usuually like to bring Yamato to ensure i have best chance of beating that map. But it is of course doable without her. Just you need a bit more luck.
