Is Yamashiro good?
A Rare battleship whose retrofit raises her main gun efficiency to 165%, which also raises her burn damage, so HE guns suit her. Retrofit also turns her into an aviation battleship, so she can carry Zuiun and join airstrikes, and she stops blocking 
Tirpitz's bonus for being the lone battleship.
Before retrofit she's a plain gun battleship, and since the change reshapes how she plays, whether to retrofit comes down to what your fleet needs.
Pairs well with: Tirpitz.
Strengths
- 165% main gun efficiency after retrofit
- Strong burn damage with HE
