Stock is an awful ship and I can't predict her being any better when researched. Because just one thing.

AP bombers.

The second there's an american carrier in the opposing team you're as good as dead and there's NOTHING you can do to prevent it. Nope, not even sailing next to a DM, because if the CV knows to add 1+1 he'll take his planes away when DFAA goes up, wait a minute, come back and send you back to port in one go. And if that doesn't work, you'll die in his second wave.

 

It is a Tirpitz, but she has the same problems:

It's not a tirpitz...

Tirpitz (and Bismarck) can turn... XD

Tirpitz and Bismarck have better maneuverability and better turret angles. And a higher chance of meeting ships where secondaries matter.

FDG is just a weird ship that doesn't work. Too big and cumbersome for close quarters, where it's inaccurate guns should flourish. Too inaccurate for any long range work paired with bad firing angles, and no gimmicks like a powerful HE. Secondary build is fun but rather ineffective at high tiers. AA is decent but as others have pointed out, it's not useful in 75% of games. It's a bizarre support (?) brawler (?) AA (?) hybrid ... thing?

I really need help. 

 

With Bismarck and Gness was fun and good. With this i just get melted every single time. I need to be at 15 km range to hit something . True that 2 of the battles was a triple Kleber Super Unicum division that focus on me. But this ship is a worst Bismarck one tier more.

• High Tier is not easy for secondaries
• 15km range is a good starting point for FDG, but not necessary to hit something, work on your aim
• get the hull upgrade, FDG is too sluggish before that
• 7 games are not enough to judge a ship, especially when you play it stock
• stop being so aggressive, you need to survive longer

I won't grind on from Bismarck, everyone seem to agree that FdG and GK are really poor ships compared to their peers.

well... after i got Hull B, things improved quite a lot. Hull A( 0 wins 8 defeats) Hull B(7 wins 2 defeats). I still think Bismarck is far superior. But with hull B at least you can play it.
