[HEROZ] GulvkluderGuld Players 3,467 posts 22,114 battles Report post #5 Posted August 18, 2016 I'm amazed with how good the german bbs are so far. Nassau feels like a tier 4 with great AP potential and decent dispersion Kaiser isn't exactly a big upgrade, but it does feel sort of like a shorter ranged New York. If only the guns would behave and shots would actually go where I aim them! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You are able to citadelle a kongo in it, but the kongo cant do the same to you. Ithink its a good ship Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marlekin Beta Tester 270 posts 5,618 battles Report post #8 Posted August 18, 2016 (edited) Had alot of fun today seeing all the Kaiser's trying to pen each others armor belt. I guess alot of BB players still dont realise that HE has its uses. The true winners today however, we're the tier 4 CV's without a doubt.

I never citadelled any BBs in it, but I did consistent 2-4k salvos (and the odd 12k salvo when RNGesus favored me). If only the Kaiser had better turret rotation speed so it could actually brawl!

Egoleter ∞ Players 4,046 posts Report post #15 Posted August 18, 2016 You can try to get to my broadside. Don't worry about my guns firing. That's only a welcoming salute. I'll apologize in advance if a stray shot or two should come down in the vicinity of your vessel. Oh... wait a moment... I didn't play the german BBs yet and probably wont until next week. I didn't read their manual yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

anonym_MfZ6T7iwWpUC Players 1,139 posts Report post #17 Posted August 18, 2016 Long range dispersion is on the large side, but it seems a really decent BB to be fair. I ended up free-xp-ing the Nassau after around 6 games as there was so many of them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[WGP2W] Namolis Players 751 posts 18,410 battles Report post #19 Posted August 19, 2016 Oh, and I might mention: I just had a session in the training room to test just how sturdy the T3 and T4 german BB's are. Mission: Survive Yamato broadside from a stationary flat anlge. (Comparison: Montana.) Result: Holy shiiieat those are tough little buggers.... @_@ Yamato was not even close to one-shot a broadside Nassau even at point blank range; in fact, Nassau would usually take 3 full close-range broadsides to bring down. Amazingly; when kililng 10 of them, I only scored one citadel hit directly from the side - although I did manage to citadel the Nassau with a Yama form 45 degrees off the bow - this seemed able to bypass the turtleback., A.Kaiser would usually take an extra broadside over the Nassau and was otherwise fairly similar. I did not record any citadel hits vs the Kaiser. Montana, in comparison, died in (usually) 2 or (very occasionally) 3 broadsides - usually Montana would sit at well under 50% HP after one hit, while the Nassau besides it had ~70% hp left after the same treatment. Hitting directly from the front wasn't tested as extensively, but seemed to either produce regular penetrations, some overpenetrations and quite a few outright bounces. Lolpenning only seemed to occur from that very particular angle at the side; probably the front turret barbette. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If only the guns would behave and shots would actually go where I aim them! Can't say I encountered that, but I did only play two games in her. I had another Nassau broadside at 4 km. 4 salvos. No citadles. Biggest salvo was 8k. 10/10 wanted to kick something. Same could be said for him as well though. He got the jump on me (he was able to get the first salvo off) and had more HP but he couldn't do serious damage to me either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
