Admiral_Oily_Discharge Players 350 posts 5,465 battles Report post #1 Posted April 21, 2020 Hello , So tier 7 ranks is coming shortly and I am wondering which battleship would be best for t7 . I have that french tier 7 with insane troll 16 guns but I guess I should get a premium bb and have narrowed down my choices to Scharnhorst,Poltava and Ashitaka . Scharn's 283 guns look quite underwhelming despite having torp armament for close range brawl . 283mm guns cant citadel bbs beyond 15km right ? SO I guess I go with Poltava or Ashitaka ? Many thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[LAFIE] lafeel Beta Tester 7,707 posts 7,856 battles Report post #5 Posted April 21, 2020 Definetly Sinop. Ashitaka is a glass cannon, and neither the Poltava nor the Scharnhorst have the same presence as the Sinop's 406mm guns give her. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd take Poltava over KGV, she's got (it'd appear..) better AP to go with the HE. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[SM0KE] Verblonde Players 9,787 posts 20,664 battles Report post #8 Posted April 21, 2020 Scharn might have some legs, I guess - you aren't going to be facing T9 BBs that make her a bit flaky for randoms, and the extra volume of fire compared to some of the bigger gunned siblings might come in handy...? Easy for me to say though; I'll be giving my DDs an airing (as per usual)... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[M-P-M] Migantium_Mashum Players 3,146 posts 19,218 battles Report post #13 Posted April 22, 2020 Scharnhorst has one advantage that nobody has mentioned once... Torpedoes and Sinop is a 33 second reload as opposed to Scharnhorsts 26... also you can get secondaries to 8km and with Manual Secondary gun control do serious damage to the careless.

Scharnhorsts reload is 20 seconds but I completely forgot about its secondary buff so it now pens 26mm plating. Might be a very good choice. Of course, Gneisenau has even better secondaries. Nelson is a very good choice as long as you know how to angle. The superheat is great but you can still only heal 10% of citadel damage. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sinop will be my choice if they fail.... Gneisenau also has fewer secondaries 11x2 128mm and only 3 twin turret mains (With a 26 second reload).... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[WHO] FidelisRaven [WHO] Players 39 posts 10,290 battles Report post #19 Posted April 22, 2020 Last tier 7 ranked I played my Nelson almost exclusively, got to top rank in 2 days. Since it's a tier 7 thing, HP pools are low for each team, so your megaheal + superburn guns tilt the odds in your favor. Even in a defeat, you'll likeky farm so much damage & kills that you won't lose a star ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[RAIN] Malim0o Players 1,433 posts 22,012 battles Report post #20 Posted April 22, 2020 i will play Ashitaka and Gneisenau for the next ranked saison. Ashikata because of the 10*406mm guns. And Gneisenau is the most versatile TVII BB from my point of view Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gneisenau also has fewer secondaries 11x2 128mm and only 3 twin turret mains (With a 26 second reload).... Thats all great but playing wows I ve learned that everything on paper is not actual in game also, like some tier 10 BBs big guns. Sure Gneisenau has less guns but I ve played with it and its really amazing battleship, guns are accurate and deadly, and torps are devastating at close range. Its a kinda mix of cruiser and battleship with nice speed and turn rate. So i would say it more depends what kinda player you are to choose a right ship. Would definitely recommend Gneisenau BUT since its a russian game with some strange russian ingame things happening then Sinop. Keep in mind its 7v7, there speed could be more vital then strength, number 1 Gneisenau / Schnarhrost Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[PISH] Bratoev Players 524 posts 5,416 battles Report post #24 Posted April 22, 2020 Gneisenau and Sharnhorst, they can literally do anything. Gun calibers are just numbers when you have 350mm belt, 30 knot speed and the handling to put some cruisers to shame. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
