I would say Schlieffen is massively better in Tier X ranked, due to having much better concealment and secondaries.

How do you play mino in brawls? I'm a decent radar memetaur man in randoms, but the one time I tried mino in brawls, it didn't work out that well. Seems like your overmatch-eating armour, lack of frontal firepower, and bad torp angles don't really make the mino a survivable pushing ship.

You can chain Radar/Hydro/Radar seamlessly, just poke your bow or aft so you can still shoot but aren't spotted (spotting works from the center mass of the ship) and eat away at his bow or whatever seems juicy.

The only disadvantage is that due to fantasy physics, the mino dislikes to stop, so be careful.

 

Single aim torps mean very, very careful BBs, due to your speed you're the first in the cap, so they have to push at one point. I usually torp a spread with one launcher and then a few seconds after that, the second launcher single - all a bit in front of the spread, just where the ship is going to be if hits the irons and turns. That also works on Islands where he has to come around.

 

DDs you eat for breakfast (just don't radar too early, let them come a bit closer - let them think you have smoke (why anyone would bring smoke in a 1 on 1 brawl is beyond me unless you bring Plymouth)).

We do see them now. This season gold is T10. I use GK. Fairly OK. As soon as u are able to brawl GK turns out good. In random there are too many ships to be able to effectively brawl and not just being a pinata as you veyr graphicly explained the experience.

Hi all,

 

Here is my Tier VII 1 vs. 1 Brawl in Scharnhorst:

 

 

 

Unfortunately one can't have the same in Schlieffen because there are some other formidable ships to fight against (I had 57% WinRate at the end nonetheless IIRC) !

 

Properly played Grosser Kurfürst has 30K+ HP start bonus compared to Schlieffen and if Grosser Kurfürst is clever enough to kite immadiately it is very very very hard to win...

 

Also I have lost all 3 battles agaist "Mecklenburg"... that ship simly tore me apart regardless of angling in 4-5 salvos every time (3 encountares in total)... there was nothing to be done with with either main battrey nor secondary battery nor torpedoes...

I got the Tokachi today and tried it in brawl. I had a blast (really fun ship) and was really surprised how good this ship is at eating BBs. I got 13 wins and only 4 losses although more than half of my encounters were with BBs. Mostly Gneisenau. 2 of this losses were from a Gneisenau und the other two were I got cocky and ate a double salvo DD torps. But those zippy 74 knots torps are really hard to dodge and hit hard. Especially with the reload booster.

I started this VII brawl with the Prinz Heinrich which also brought me many victories but I did not want to further add to ze German BBully problem. I really like the German BCs but they are to strong in 1vs1. Strangely I never encountered a P. Heinrich with the Tokachi and only once steering the PH herself.
