It certainly doesnt look bad to me but you know there are people out there that can defend its a fair fight if a hashidate fights yamato. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All they do is rely on torps and ram if fail!

As jingles said its like a kongo but at tier8 Shell velocity seems good, true. AA isn't very good, true, but it wasn't that good on the Tirpitz in the first place (Germans weren't fans of dual purpose guns, which definitely hurts AA ability). What is a bit bad is that the dispersion rating is the same as for the Yamato, which seems... a bit on the high side, yeah? It was supposedly reasonably accurate, rather than the most inaccurate ship in the game. (Same dispersion as Yamato but shorter range = less accurate than Yamato = most inaccurate ship in the game, the way I understand the numbers. If I*m wrong, do not hesitate to correct me.).

[TLN] Eisenengel Beta Tester 79 posts 1,476 battles Report post #13 Posted August 28, 2015 (edited) (Nice table) Eh, a word or two might help. But, I guess you're saying 'No, the Montana, Iowa and NC has even worse dispersion'. Which is fair enough; my thinking on the Yamato as worst accuracy is from not having looked much at the high tier US BB's in detail. That the NC - also at tier 8 - has worse accuracy is rather important, though, while the Amagi is - relatively speaking - pinpoint accurate.

I have seen games where montana scores hits left and right while someone in amagi cant hit the walls inside the barn. I watched couple of tirpitz review videos non of them said its inaccurate Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0ptImuS_Pr1mE Alpha Tester 750 posts 627 battles Report post #15 Posted August 28, 2015 Tirpitz is accurate pretty enought didnt have too much problems to hit cruiser on 20km. It's not superlaserprecise but still good enought if you are avarage skilled player. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[__] Kais_S012 Beta Tester 742 posts 1,694 battles Report post #19 Posted August 28, 2015 (edited) I agree, the Tirpitz certainly looks like it going to a very well balanced additon to the ship lines (unlike the warspite and its insultingly bad turret rotation speed!) it looks to be good at everything with no real weaknessa little under gunned (15") but the Turret rotation, range and 25sec RoF certainly make up for that fast for a BB healthy hit point pool a nasty sting at 6km with those fish punters on either side (which from the sounds of it are pretty easy to disable) AA is addequete for a BB, not so powerful that the battleship can ignore carrier aircraft (much to the "battleships should only be vulnerable to other battleships" crowd's disgust ) but not so weak that a strike will get though without taking losses. but for the sake of argument can there be such thing as being too balanced? I know its a bit too early to say so without seeing it in action but I dont really see ANY negative aspect of the Tripitz Edited August 28, 2015 by AegeanGhost 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know its a bit too early to say so without seeing it in action but I dont really see ANY negative aspect of the Tripitz I really wouldn't call its AA adequate, if u look at its actual DPS values it's actually pretty damn weak. And that's perfectly fine imo as tier 8 premiums always tend to be weaker in some regards to their tech tree counterparts. In the tirpitz's case this seems to be AA.

If I*m wrong, do not hesitate to correct me.). The Tirpitz's guns are more accurate than those on the Warspite, so if you think it's got "the worst accuracy in the game", the warspite's accuracy REALLY sucks. Warspite: 219m dispersion @ 16.3 km = 13.44m/km Tirpitz: 276m dispersion @ 21.5 km = 12.83m/km North Carolina: 293m dispersion @ 23.3 km = 12.58m/km It's less accurate than the North Carolina but not by much. EDIT: but compared to the Amagi's 11.41m/km it does suck. Edited August 28, 2015 by xCaptainObviousx Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
