[DREAD] 1MajorKoenig Players 13,110 posts 7,885 battles Report post #1 Posted July 15, 2021 Thanks WG for bringing German Battlecruisers and especially for bringing these in their “REAL” configuration! And even more so for bringing the IRON DOG (in her real configuration) These ships are certainly among the highly anticipated ones and a fantastic refreshment for the “ship lovers” faction (which isn’t always easy to be part of) Cudos to you for listening and resisting to “fantasy modernize”/ruin/fu*up these ships! Well done @MrConway / @Crysantos / @Ev1n / @Sub_Octavian !! (now I hope you don’t surprise me with messed up B-hulls - don’t you dare… ) Can’t wait to have these beauties in port 14 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Glad to see the line in the game, these are important and historic ships, long overdue, and the Derfflinger at Tier V looks like a keeper. Hope you enjoy them! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[R7S] lovelacebeer Players 4,158 posts 25,223 battles Report post #7 Posted July 15, 2021 I do hope they keep the realistic appearance of these ships I really get annoyed by WGs fantasy modernisations like they did with Iron Duke. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And I like real ships too, so uptil Mackensen, I'll definitely get them. I might even get Prince henry, coz she seems to just be a better Mackensen and is not utter fantasy like the T8-10 are (I believe its the Eratz Yorck class), and it still looks good. I hope I get their detailed statistics, to get an idea about them. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At those tiers it is only a symbolic difference between the ships that have AA or not. My König at T5 is one of my most played ships - so I really look forward to Derfflinger.

Making these pretty much useless also the casemates secs are shell targets will get melted the way the armour is sloped into the secondaries, your pretty much shooting their secondaries if you aim for the deck which you would do if you want massive pens against german bbs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[TACHA] NobleRipper Players 1,211 posts Report post #24 Posted July 16, 2021 It's good to see a proper battlecruiser line at last, honestly it's kinda shameful that it's taken this long. Interestingly I notice there's a T3 again, even though we were told the Italians didn't get one because that tier wasn't popular enough; I wonder if the real reason was just that WG couldn't find enough ships/napkins with designs on...? 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I guess neither the Italians nor the Russians had a real T3. In that case I am even ok with skipping it as long as it isn’t applied to lines which should have a T3. I am at least very happy to see von der Tann! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
