I mean that the Tirp may still stand as the best German BB once all are released. If I had to build a BB that wasn't "too" op it probably wouldn't be too far from what the Tirp is now. The way it plays is a joy to anyone who plays BB.

 

German engineering. ^^

It's interesting to see the different lengths, maybe we should add a few more tier 7 capital ships to the render?

Can't find a good pic of Strasbourg, it's a bit shorter than Nelson.

your hood is missing something important... a fire fountain :P also 2 british ships?... than please... add Ersatz-Yorck for Germany... since they will most likely also get their BC line... not only the royal navy

Less HP. Lower calibre guns.Same type of torps, but only 3 per side instead of 4.

 

Shotgun-style dispersion (they're saving the lasers for the RU navy).

Similar armor.

Don't forget 1 tier lower, so not much chance of encountering tier 10 stuff.

 

I guess there will be plenty of Scharn Tirp/Hipper divisions so they will see tier 10 that way

can you upload the replay?

Sorry, I don't have a replay, but the Scharnhorst had 3 turrets each containing 3 guns on unknown calibre, 2 forward, 1 aft.

Looks like it, yes. Also looking more and more like a no-buy.

Which sucks. I was looking forward to it.

 

I can't wait for the reviews from EU/NA community contributors, maybe it'll be changed slightly by then.

WG should just put the Sigma to 2... same as the NC... then it should work well...

 

On chinese server, they buffed sigma value to 2 and reduced max dispersion at 19.9 km from 260 m to 250 m.

 

New review of Sharnhorst on Chinese server (vs Fuso and New Mexico)

I would prefer 1.8 with 200m dispersion.

 

Yeah, the current accuracy is a joke, I don't know how it can be cruiser killer with that kind of prebuffed Colorado accuracy....

Same here. This stunt also messes with the built-up expectation that smaller guns mean more accuracy.

 

Also, they're digging a hole for themselves for when they introduce the older, less accurate version, of the same gun on the Graf Spee.

Its WG, do u realy think they care about that hole u are talking about?

 

Me and my friends dont expect much out of the german BB line tbh. After what they did with the russian cruisers it is pretty clear from where the wind blows and that it blows the same way as in WoT:

Latest Q&A's (18 July)Source


 

1. I read your comments about the 283 vs 380 mm Gneisenau discussion. For me, it seems you're saying that 155 mm Mogami is an unplayable trashcan and thus 283 mm Scharnhorst will also be an unplayable trashcan.

Just make 155 mm Mogami a premium ship so she can at least make some profits. Why wouldn't you equip both Scharnhorst and Gneisenau with 283 mm guns but give Scharhorst 1.5X defensive fire for 20-30 seconds. She would thus sill be different and players would buy her. All in all, I'm less and less willing to buy Scharnhorst. 

Are we stuck in a battle without alternatives ?

A. ... I will also add that you should not make premature conclusions regarding the effectiveness of ships that are still being tested. For now and from what the tests have shown, Scharnhorst is too performant and it's unlikely it will be released in her current state. We will slightly tweak her and test her once more.

 

Too performant lol :P
