Just imagine. If you guys think that the "BBs are weak" whine is bad, think what it will be like when the Bismarck comes out. Oh god, it will be awful.

1.) The whine is nev going to cease

2.) Noone cares

3.) Unless its a trolorado, the ship will be decent enough.

Its funny... I always had the idea that Bismarck would be at tier 8 but not even once did I consider the fact that it could be a premium ship...

I guess wargaming had a hunch that everyone would get one just because its the great Bismarck. Good on you WG good on you :) I'll be playing with the Tirpitz than. I bought premium tanks. But I won't buy premium ships jsut because of this.

Forum after Bismarck being sold as a premium:

 

If Bismarck was good: "p2w game"

If Bismarck was bad: "WG hates German ships" and "I want a refund"

It doesn't matter how it (consider that one a gift) will perform, there will be a lot of whine threads... and I'm looking forward to them. lol

It will be a good ship for those who know how to use it.

 

Just like Warspite.

 

Just like Atlanta.

 

I am rather delighted by the news honestly, Bismarck is the only historical german ship that I care for, and now I can just buy it and skip the rest of the KM :P

 

Happy days

Honestly I'm worried that it will be too good of a ship, this plus its popularity will make half the queue filled with Bismarcks.. tier 8 matches will be nothing but Bismarcks and all tier 5 and 6 ships will face Bismarcks most of the time due to MM issues.

Umm i will have to disagree,because mostly(from what i've seen) is that when people do get Bismarck(no matter her stats for bad or for worse) people will complain when they get killed by anything because i have seen quite a large number of people which think Bismarck is,idk,unbeatable or so and when they do get it in the game and when they sail her and get killed in it it will be a bigger whinefest than the current whinefest about coming of the Rn :(.Even Warspite for example people are constantly trashing her(there are people which actually know how to play her and love the ship so hey enjoy her) and knowing Bismarck is more famous,which fans have some HUGE and passionate beliefs around her,i think it will end badly.But i am actually excited about her coming to game and i have already set aside some cash for her:teethhappy:

It ate crap from WW1 bi-planes (swordfishes i think), humiliating state of affairs for an "unbeatable" ship :D

 

Now that I think about it, I probably like Tirpitz more, solely because of operation "Chariot"

I expect it to be solid, fast and with medium/poor manoeuvrability with good secondary and AA guns but with a lack in primary for its tier.

Swordfish Bi-planes hit her rudder with a torpedo, and that was that, as they say. Swordfish was designed in the early 1930's. Did rather well at Taranto. The swordfish flew so slow that the Bismarck's fire control system could not aim at them properly, as it was designed to track somewhat faster aircraft. Sometimes it is not about the machine, but more about the men in the machine.

This is correct, a lot of luck was involved as well , if not for that permanently jammed rudder, Bismarck would have gotten away with it safely to France

Probably but the RN would simply wait for a chance and avenge the Hood.Bismarck couldn't have survived either way the RN an Britain was much more powerfull at sea.

So, when Bismarck is released, we can expect a lot of new players to buy it, make a fail Division with a mid tier cruiser, YOLO into the heart of a much larger force, only to get surrounded and pummeled to death?

 

Just like real life then.

Wargaming will sink this game by their own greedyness. They are gonna put Bismarck at tier VIII, 60-70 Euros and lots of wallet warriors are gonna whine and whine and whine giving bad propaganda to the game to never come back because they'll feel cheated. Meanwhile, it will literally be a festival for high tier CVs who are gonna torp BBs with tier V AA, adding more to the problem. But hey, it's easy and inmediate cash, who cares about the future?
