What the F... did you do with Gneisenau (Tier VII)

[NiKuTa]

This ship is unplayable. Guns are crap.

[Major_Damage225]

Gneisenau unplayable

 

Care to elaborate. 

 

[WeGreedy]

Great opening post.

Now it's my turn.

This ship is playable. Guns are okay.

This was very helpful, wasn't it? 

[ColonelPete]

They did not change  the ship.

Guns have always been crap.

 

If you liked the accuracy of the Kawachi, you'll fit right in Gneisenau.

[ShuggieHamster]

never had a problem on the front guns ... back guns however are commanded by a bloke who seriously needs corrective eye surgery.

72 games in her, 55% WR and average damage of 74k...

 

If you are missing then get closer!

Can be said for the entire line in fact.

- implying the average BB player knows the appropriate definition of "closer".

Completely disagree.

Sure it has KM dispersion, but since the Bayern is the same you should be used to that. Gneis is a nice ship to play so long as you don't try to hug map edges.

You mean that weird phenomenon when the top tier BB on a team ALWAYS camps at the back instead of leading and maybe taking some damage? 

[Skyllon]

So many... So easily trolled...

 

...sigh...

it is one of top WR ships

 

it is the player not the ship....your 41%WR is all wee need to know about you and your statement

[Captain_Singleton]

it's the same as tanks, people think that getting the tiger (for WoWS insert Bismarck) will make them better players because the tanks/ships are/were so good...

@NiKuTa I have a solution for ya! Put your hand in your wallet, take some money and give it to WG. Buy free exp and skip it. No need to thank me citizen!

[Exocet6951]

I agree, the main guns are terrible !
I mean, they only have like 8km range and you need to invest in a few skill points.

But the 380mm secondaries are pretty sweet though 

[Zogash85]

In a way, I sorta sympathize with the OT... it's exactly how I felt in about every other game in her. If I had to choose one word to describe the Gneisenau, it would be “inconsistent“. I had games where I did 150k damage followed immediately by ones where I couldn't get the guns to hit the broad side of a barn from the inside. Like, all six shells missing a perfectly aligned broadside Pensacola at 7km by several nautical miles. And that was with me doing the exact same things each game, it's just that the guns are so incredibly troll. Yes, Bayern's and Bismarck's guns are, too, but they have 33% more of them. That does show.

 

It's the combination of having shotguns and having only 6 of them that made the Gneisenau exceedingly frustrating to grind at times. I had intended her as a keeper - Tier 7 is my sweet spot and I think she was one of history's most beautiful ships - but in the end I was kinda glad to be rid of her.

I hated this ship, sold it a few days ago and got F.D. Grosse.

[deadly_if_swallowed]

1. spec Gneisenau to full AA build (360 dps at 7.5 km)

2. queue with a CV buddy

3. ????

4. Profit!

Is Sharnhorst this good as well regarding AA?

Nah don't think so

Gneisenau has the beautiful DP secondaries which GK has (and which are the main guns on Z-46/Z-52 as well) I think whereas scharnhorst has bog standard 128mm german secondaries you find on the bismarck etc

Alrighty, thank you kind sir.
