Battleship IJN Yamato 1945 Replica

I present a replica of the heaviest and most powerfully armed battleships ever constructed, the Yamato-class. Now updated to take advantage of Advanced Cannons!

Basic Stats:
Blocks: 51200
Length: 280
Mass: 33344
Top speed: 12 m/s ( 23 knots )
Buildtime: around 120 hours

Armament:
460mm Main guns: 9 (3x3), 30 seconds reload
155mm Secondary guns: 6 (2x3), 12 seconds reload
127mm Tertiary guns: 24 (12x2), 4.3 seconds reload
25mm AAA guns: 72 (24x3), 0.2 seconds reload, (only modeled those that were turreted)

All in all 111 barrels in 41 moving turrets.

Other Features:
- Fully walkable interior, top to bottom and fore to aft.
- Top mounted rangefinders tracking targets.
- Moving rear crane, launcher and modeled hangar space.
- Engine room physically connected to open smokestack.
- All five bigger center-line turrets contain protected internals sunken into hull and main guns have large walkable ammunition rooms below this.
- Fully beamed
- Roughly correct armor citadel layout ( 2-5 metal blocks thickness due to FTD armor mechanics )
- Officer dining room with gold decorations and Japanese flag ( located behind smokestack )

New Features in Update:
- Advanced cannons with real reload times, gauge and penetration depth for maingun shells
- Replaced decorations with some pictures, and added IJN flag
- Big fueltanks
- Better stabilization to prevent list and bouncing ( thanks for tip khaz! )
- Flooded some internal parts to get a nicer looking exterior/waterline
- Sloped with new 4m slopes
- Optimized blockcount (~-5000 blocks)
- Invisi-Shields strength 10 over the main 410mm belt armor and 650mm turret face armor
- Lights in the bridges

Known Issues:
- Performance :(
- AAA & Tertiary guns love blowing each-other up despite fail-safes installed.
