Regarding weapons, this is an alternate universe. I mean, should I point out that the new J7W1 Shinden model in Strike Witches is a pair of leg mounts that have half a canard on each side and fake landing gear on the bottom? They are usually pretty close, and considering that this is the Fuso Empire's Yamato and not Nippon's Yamato, I'm sure they switched to the 3.6s simply because there isn't any need for large-caliber anti-aircraft fire anymore.
Also, consider that none of the Fuso Empire's aircraft carriers were sunk at Midway. They only lost several DDs, CLs, and CAs in the first season, one CV, Akagi. This season, Fuso has an amazing record of ZERO losses, compared to Venezia and Romagna's 2 or 3. I'm still hoping for Some US/UK fanboat service though, even if it's just for an episode and to show that the Navy is inferior to any sort of airborne monstrosity with laser beams.
