Scharnhorst bought via doubloons - Can I get my money back?

I got a Scharnhorst a few days ago. What a terrible ship. Can I get my doubloons back? I know that when you buy via the premium shop you can return it, but here?

 

Also, if it works, will WG subtract the free xp and credits earned with that ship? Thanks.

You can get back your doubloons, but not if you played with your ship. If you played even one game with it you got what you payed for and there is no way to get any kind of refund.

Scharnhorst is a terrible ship? Seriously??

 

I think it is a fantastic ship and possibly the best crew trainer in the game: you can train CA, BB and soon DD captains in it (even 'fresh' ones)  and perform well, independent of the skills the captain already has ...

Some ships just don't suit ones playing style without relearning, so soldier on and find the ships strong point and learn to use them.

 

I bought the little Yubari CL tier 4 two days ago and at first it was dreadful getting one shot killed but now it's just a fantastic ship and a real eye opener of what a CL can do (and not do). I killed 2 battleships and two cruisers last night and shot down 11 aircraft in one battle, so don't give up.

The problem with the Scharnhorst that many people have I think is the 283mm guns that you need to get used to. You need to play it as a heavy as [edited]cruiser basically, since the guns don't have the same punch as for example as the Tirpitz.

I think its one of the better premiums. It has its own style and flavor and you can get very good results in it once you get used to it.

I usually think "play it like a huge Atago" and then do alright/fine with it.

If you've used it it's unlikely they would refund it, it's still worth a try but doon't get your hopes up.

 

Best thing I can suggest is to play her some more, she's really rather good, you might find yourself enjoying it once you learn how she handles.

Scharnhorst is seriously good.  If you don't like it then you are simply doing it wrong.

Not a terrible ship, but a terrible captain. Scharnhorst is one of the best premiums out there. In fact, it's the ship with my highest average damage.

Terrible, are you kidding, its brilliant.  Better than the Tirpitz for pure enjoyment.  Its a great agile ship, for close to mid range, great set for secondaries as has greater secondary range than tirpitz.  Is one of the best ships in the shop.

While I can't understand why he says it's a terrible ship to the point of demanding a refund, he's definitely not a bad captain according to his stats (sorry, it's the first thing I do when someone claims things like this).

Afraid you won't get refund. But my advice is not to give up after a few rounds. The consensus is to play Scharnhorst as a "BB-cruiser" hybrid. I am still a bit struggling to find that optimal balance in it: either I play it too "tanky" and get wrecked by the "real" BB's or I find myself a bit too far from the frontline so I'm not that usefull. But I feel it's a very good ship. Practise is King!!

Wait ???

6 battles and a kraken and its terrible :unsure:

Play that beast as a heavy cruiser angling 15/10 degrees depent on the enemy ship your facing use the plunging fire hits to citadel battleships even the Gneisen (i do this in the first 6-7 min from start) when there less enemies left then you use it as a brawler and you will see every ship with no torps will run away.....

HE are great to set fires, AP on broadside ships....

 

Also i have a small feeling you play it the same as the Tirpitz plz don't do that

Wait what? Scharnhorst is a brilliant ship, but don't expect big citadels on other battleships, you need to move the aim up a bit.  Also:

You should try Gneisenau first and than if you like handling than you should buy Scharnhorst,, i adore  Gneisenau and iam idiot because i didnt buy it on -30% :(

 

On the other hand i bought Kutuzov - its good ship but main problem is that from 8/10 games i get in T10 ( and that is 5-6 T10 ship ) - and there i could do nothing with it and i hate it because of it :(  

I did bought it for ranked but i didnt think it would give me T10 battles, on WG wiki it say T10 ships play vs T9 and T10 only :(

Both you have to play in a diffrent way, as Gneisenau is a battleship and the Scharnhorst is not.
