Wäre auch mein Favorit.

Also thought about this, but what's the point of having basic firing training and advanced firing training when you dont go manual secondaries? It makes the secondaries at least twice as good! Feels like this is more important than vigilance and basic firing training.

If it were possible I would happily trade all of these ARP ships. ;)

Been playing it only for a few weeks. I like it compared to Iowa: better side armor (you dont get citadeled every time) and more damage thanks to the additional turret. I got a new damage record with this ship within the first 15 games or so.

If you use the "Artillery Plotting Room Modification 1" in Slot 2, then you boost your firing range to 18.1km. I did that back in the day, and I loved the New York, but I never play it any more due to MM disadvantage (more likely to play vs tier 7 than vs tier 4). You should be able to punish Kongos hard at close range.

Yes it's worth it. I lke it more than Bayern since it has more firepower. You shouldn't play it at max range though since the guns have quite some dispersion. Armor isn't the best but it't ok if you angle (it feels better than Nagato armor). Fuso can give you games like this:

Only took you 6 minutes to reconsider ;)

Ganz genau, siehe auch . Funktioniert nicht immer, aber erstaunlich oft - bei anderen BBs gibts ja immre nur overpenetrations und weniger Schaden.

Macht keinen Unterschied. Kannst du gleich alle Rohre ballern. Ich mache nur Einzelfeuer in BBs wenn ein Kreuzer mit <4k HP rumfährt und eigentlich nur noch einen Treffer braucht.

Absolutely, go for demolition expert, and then activate the secret flame thrower on RN cruisers via ALT+F4 for maximum effect!

Indeed.

Ja auf range oder gegen höhere Tiers macht man nicht sonderlich viel damage mit der Scharnhorst, da hab ich dann lieber eine Colorado.

Yes absolutely, and tier 7 is favored by MM at the moment so you are often in that position. Scharnhorst is not as much fun against tier 9 BBs though ;)

7 kills in dem Spiel, teilweise gegen 3 Schiffe allein gekämpft und trotzdem gewonnen. Im Nahkampf ist das Schiff einfach unschlagbar auf gleichem Tier:

Here's that 7 kill game with some commentary (which might be too factual given the amazingness of the game ;))

I got a Scharnhorst a few days ago. What a terrible ship. Can I get my doubloons back? I know that when you buy via the premium shop you can return it, but here? Also, if it works, will WG subtract the free xp and credits earned with that ship? Thanks.

Quick update: I gave it another few tries after everyone thought I was trolling. Now I have seen the light. It is a pretty nice ship! 12th battle in this ship, second kraken. Plus double strike, two close quarter combats, confederate, and dreadnaught. 7 kills. I will post the game soon because it was just insane. Engaged 3 ships at once alone and killed all 3 how is that even possible?

I have the secondary mod rather than the AA mod. Mainly because AA on Iowa is already very good and, as you say, DDs are much more common. Here is an example where a DD is punished by it (note I do not have manual secondaries, so the accuracy isnt stellar).

My game never crashes since I got my new GFX card. Must be your system.

It's timeless. Maybe we should take the poll again and get the right outcome this time..

I am surprised it hasn't been mentioned that the ship isn't that great either. Judging from the Iowa, you can essentially only play bow on, as you get citadeled into nothingness faster than you can write "plz don't shoot" when attempting a turn. So if the Missouri is similar in that regard I won't get it even if it is half cost (i.e., something like 375k free xp).

One problem with your argument: Tiers of ships are quite balanced between the teams. So it is simply impossible that you get a "95% probability autoloss" if you are tier 8 in a tier 10 game, since the other team will also have tier 8s which cannot lose at the same as you. Nevertheless, I always said that WG should implement a +/-1 tier matching if there are enough players on the server since playing from 2 tiers below is very demotivating. So I can perfectly understand your frustration.

Nvm misread.

Well I guess you wont survive if the charging German knows what he is doing (and sends torps late for 100% hit ratio), unless you have full hp. You could try to ram then at least you take him with you.
