It was actually very impressive. Target acquisition and surprise go a long way. I took out two CV groups with about the same strategy a couple weeks ago but my damage looked nothing like Trenlass’s. https://www.youtube.com/@WorldofWarshipsGneisenauChanne/playlists should be in the channel dash victories playlist.
Get my own gneisenau again after 1 year not touching German BB, The secondary build are fine but the AA build is not the same as before RTS cv and early cv rework. 🙁
I always loved Gneisenau from the point where i scored a kraken right away in my very first match with her. Its so fast, tanky and unlike the fat bricks which come after her she also turns quite nicely. One of the most fun ships in the game for me. When T7 MM had its golden time it was just a joy playing her. But yeah. Some love her, some hate her. My brother never liked playing Gneisenau.
The buff from a year or two seemed fairly anemic but actually seems to make a difference. Over the Tier VIIIs you lose a rear turret that requires dangerous exposure to use, but gain reload. That, and not having to face Tier Xs and Starships, gives Gneisenau a big advantage over Tirpitz and Bismarck.
Trenlass thanks for this video. I play a lot of Gneisenau and do side by side comparisons with Hackabase at the start of every channel dash. I produce videos of channel dashes in the Gneisenau and seperate into victories and defeats. https://www.youtube.com/@WorldofWarshipsGneisenauChanne/playlists you can clearly see Gneisenau looks great on paper even against most of the T9 BB’s when she is played with specific purpose. She is fast and unmatched in her alpha strike potential. 36.9 knots is nothing to sneeze at with a BB capable of crippling an entire flank resulting in victories usually. Feel free to watch some of my matches if you like Gneisenau gameplay and the ensuing channel dashes.

The Gneisenau uses the Del key to fire its guns..
Gneisenau is in fact extremely accurate. It not very often, but still!
Trenlass is like “I’m playing this match from the enemy B line” and he gets away with it. That was awesome
He got more citadels in this game than I’ve ever gotten on my Gneisenau in all games combined
may be if you pay more you’ll get more RNG
Combine all my gneis citadels with yours…he still wins.
Wait am I understanding this. You decide what you play next by what ship you kill last? If so that is kind of cool.
Must be an aim bug. It’s impossible for Gneisenau’s guns to work properly like that.

This is such a beautiful ship… when it works.
Trenlass somehow found a way to replace Gneisenau’s dispersion with Mecklenburg’s.
It is actually hard to miss with Gneisenau’s two forward batteries under 10 km.
When I tried a main gun build on my Gneisenau, she was actually a pretty decent ship.
trenlass threw the schnapps rations overboard this time, so the gunners are unusually sober.

Those gunners were given the special german chocolate before the battle

I remember getting 10 citadels in my Gneisenau once, in a ranked game… with 19 shell hits total. Yeah, RNG is one hell of a drug
Gneisenau is my Drug of choice most games.
What amazing chaos you caused driving straight into their spawn !
Just shows you how broken it would be if the guns were accurate.
Would love to see an Iowa vid. So little videos on that great BB.
more i see landslide victory and defeats which have been more often lately i feel rng favours one side
