lol. Also, who's to say they will be in the tree in that order? Knowing WG, they may well put Nelson after KGV...

I'm more interested how it compares to Yamato's guns tbh... If it can bounce 460s frontally that'll be a huge jump in power, and quite the shakeup of the T10 meta potentially

except this is still the Internet...

from what I've seen this is the polar opposite of the truth. There's a huge discrepancy between most 6" and 8" armed cruisers, while Scharnhorst still looks to play very much like a Battleship, with all their hallmarks: lolpens through cruiser asses, big salvoes (maybe not quite as big) against broadside battleships, trouble against angled battleships, VERY effective at angling against rival battleship AP but happy to burn. You just put out slightly smaller volleys much faster, and HE is a bit more prevalent.

that would indeed appear to be the best policy at this point... Also, this thread seems to be a great success so far, with only two derps (one of them being idiot me ) posting in the original. Maybe poke Carnotzet and other "Newsmen" to just append a friendly reminder about this discussion thread to each of their news posts, so everyone is reminded it exists and doesnt forget instantly like I did?

or maybe have them log in from somewhere else to accept - other friends' houses or some such?

derp... ofc I immediately forgot we had this now, and posted over there... shame on me very good answer - an answer that not everyone will agree with, but one that most people should be able to respect at least. It's their game, and they have what they believe are good reasons for the decision made - let's see how both of these ships end up playing before passing final judgement on whether it was a good idea after all. From what I've seen and heard, Scharnhorst is rather wacky in terms of playstyle, but still fun and potentially very effective - perfect hallmarks for a Premium I would say...

crosshairs are among the least useful mods... besides, it's not like they broke with patches and needed to be updated, just copy the files over...

probably? what would the conflict be (except Mogami)?

valid points - simply a difference in perspective. I know what you mean, and I can see why you want it to be that way, but I prefer it with more randomness - just "feels more natural/realistic" (oh boy that's gonna get me flamed innit) to me, and in this case that takes priority over strict gameplay concerns in my view.

that it would be, but I for one don't want to be able to play ship X, see planes for carrier Y incoming and be able to start counting "right, first plane goes down in two... one... now. Second goes in three, two, one, now." That would just feel very strange to me, and it would also pretty much kill any sense in Fighter v Fighter engagements since the outcomes would be 100% predetermined beforehand.

well one would assume it's going to be before she sees playtesting, otherwise that low HP value makes just about zero sense

well... it does make sense, since 7500 is half of what a comparable "full" BB turret gets at T6 iirc... but it will probably need to be a little higher to avoid frustration (say, the 10k that cruiser turrets get - that feels like a roughly fine margin since turret survivability depends not only on HP but also on Armour where Dunk isn't weak at all)

shornhorse is what we came up with

Bagel pls. Bismarck is coming, Hood is sunk.

For now, secondary builds are pretty much complete garbage on anything except high tier IJN BBs (mainly Izumo and Yamato), and even on those they're not good, just fun. In about a month, German BBs from T8 upwards will also be pretty worthwhile platforms for that.

I'd expect it to fare better in a T9 match than Nagato/Colorado, for two reasons: First, while all three will get completely shat on by a competent Iowa (which is fine - 2 tiers difference and that...), Scharnhorst has the mobility to keep up with the pack without issues and at least somewhat pick its fights, unlike the other two. And second, its perfect prey, Cruisers, are still almost as vulnerable as down at lower tiers - bit more HP, ok, and a heal, but the guns should still be able to do a ton of work against Ibukis just as much as Myokos.

year of design versus entered service. These things take a while to build...

which might also mean she'd be much more wary of a good Montana (because higher Broadside weight) than a Yamato - and that would change up the whole T10 BB dynamic on one fell swoop potentially!

fascinating how many STILL fall for that... after the umpteenth time...

that would rather defeat the entire purpose of Scharnhorst's existence though...so I doubt it

hmmm... being able to customize the names the game shows you for ships (on your end only obviously) would actually be fun - that way, we could actually start shooting at the likes of Derpitz, Impregnator, Pepsicola and what have you... I like the thought... Someone make a mod for that!

oh, you noticed? why not go away then?

*is german, and still explodes in excitement over Dunkerque*
