anonym_OQ8SFxmDxroh Players 70 posts Report post #1 Posted October 5, 2019 Almost every Tirpitz player is behaving like this: He goes very, very close to enemy team almost at the beginning of the game, shows big juicy broadside JUST TO LAUNCH TORPS OF 6 KM RANGE. Then he dies almost instantly, get citaled, a hundred fires etc. Should I even mention that released torps score zero hits. I really don't understand why Tirpitz players are so obsessed with torps. Your primary weapons are 8 main battery guns. Don't be burden to your team, it's really sad to watch such stupid behavior. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[COMFY] howardxu_23 Players 792 posts 2,015 battles Report post #2 Posted October 5, 2019 There is the reason why Tirpitz is alternate name is “derptiz”, cause it’s one of the first high tier premium boats to show up in the game, available to all with a credit card Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[SHAD] gopher31 Players 2,445 posts 10,978 battles Report post #4 Posted October 5, 2019 There’s a Yuro video where he takes his Tirpitz into smoke and torps both DDs in there. Maybe they all watched that. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LordTareq Players 278 posts 1,663 battles Report post #5 Posted October 5, 2019 I find that typically the Tirpitz is easy to destroy in my Bismarck, despite the Tirpitz theoretically having the advantage. You can usually really tell people have bought the ship but lack the experience to play it well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

atlasapl Players 1,054 posts 2,615 battles Report post #10 Posted October 5, 2019 The highest damage game I have currently had (179k), was in my Amagi. Towards the end of the game, I ended up at the far eastern part of the map against a Tirpitz. He had noticeably more health than me so I turned away, reducing to half speed. He followed, but at no point fired his main guns at me. I on the other hand continued to shoot at him, chipping away at his health. Clearly he was watching his torpedo tracking and nothing else. He got half way along side me at a very close range, fired his torps and missed. Unfortunately for him, I didnt miss giving him a full broadside. Those torps can be very handy. But at the end of the day the Tirpitz is a battleship. Some players forget that. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[SHAD] gopher31 Players 2,445 posts 10,978 battles Report post #11 Posted October 5, 2019 I'm surprised Tirpitz still attracts so many poor players. I am surprised anyone would pick it over the Massachusetts. I might take mine out soon but I'm far to scared of CVs in it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[D-P] LowSpeedHighDrag Players 382 posts 7,798 battles Report post #16 Posted October 5, 2019 Problem lies with the players thinking that their close proximity torp launches will guarantee a kill. Which isn't, at all. If anything Tirpitz players should utilise their torps for defensive weapon instead of an offensive weapon. Due to the lack of range. They underestimate the power of her guns versus Tier 9 battleships. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
anonym_XgqU5qmRRRuQ Players 10 posts Report post #17 Posted October 5, 2019 I see the problem and propose the following solution: Give the Tirpitz the Type 93 Torpedoes so they can launch them from all the way back and hit their own team with it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
