Yamato's shells ricochet Moskva's 20-30 degree bow at point blank

I have no idea what and how to say. Long story short, my yamato encountered a moskva out of islands area and it was around 9 km (both have less than half HP). He bull-rushed me and I waited him to somehow showing boardside, but he just rush in that way. No choices at 7 km,  and the biggest angle I got was around 20-30 degree, I shot him with full salvo. 5 ricochets and barely did 4700 damage. Shot again at 4-5 km and happened almost the same and around 7000 damage. Finally, he rammed me and both dead, they won by points (500-1000 hp Shimakazi alive on their side), furthermore, I got 5 reports for not killing him (we win by points if he dead). What a sad story!

Anything wrong with overmatching mechanic? At that point blank, I used to do more than 15-20K damage per salvo at least to a GK. Could anyone enlighten me? Thanks!

russian bias
russian navy@1940~1945 is a joke.

I know karma is nothing here but I noticed that I lost 5 instant. 

 

What I am not happy is that Yamato now is so far the softest BB in my eyes. Her selling point is her gun and I have been wallet warrior to get her. People said that her guns don't care about enemy angling but just go straight in. My experience now is about a sad story 460mm 😄

Even T1 belt can bounce Yamato shoot, you should shoot the bow of Moskva not belt
