German Battlecruisers: When you had enough of the german bb line and want to switch to another line
(They look quite neat)
That british tier x premium tho
508mm guns, 20 in jeez
WG: Here is our HE Shikishima 😀
For shame! Royal Navy ordnance being cited in metric!!!
FINALLY
Low tier gets some love!
And yet no one will really play them. Because this is just gonna be another “PAY US MONEY TO GET EARLY ACCESS AT THE HIGH TIERS!”
@R3dEye Gaming you forget the Jutland re-enactment opportunities.
Looks interesting, just hope there are not many gimmicks involved. Good work MB.
Lore, Lore, Lore, Loreeeeeee!
Excited for the new German BC line.
Oh boy there are some legendary ships in there e.g. The SMS Von der Tann and the SMS Derfflinger (Battle of Jutland)
Double intro tells you how excited he is
The Incomparable is going to be WEIRD. She’s immense, 1000 feet long (that’s nearly 150 feet longer than a Lexington) she had a VERY narrow thin belt of 11-inches over her machine spaces, otherwise was about as well protected as Repulse beyond that. Was meant to do 35 knots (and would probably have a turning radius of about the orbit of Jupiter) and had 4-inch guns as secondaies. The picture shows a hypothetical refit of the ship with AA guns added. But she’s gonna be an odd duck to say the least with her 20-inch guns.
With IFHE those 20 inch (assuming the get 1/4 HE pen) will be able to HE citadel the RN and USN heavy cruisers, I can’t see that ship ever using its AP at that point.
@Arivael AP won’t overpen a citadel and it’ll be able to penetrate much more than a few cruisers
@FederalDechart If you hit it, at the range this ship is going to have to play at I can see anything thats not a BB being able to evade and you only have six shots per salvo. Sure take expert loader and if you get a super cruiser or battleship giving you a broadside, you would want the AP but beyond that, if only the main belt on the super cruisers and BB’s will not get penetrated by HE, why risk the overpens.
Two intros……whoops lol
gave me deja vu
boobs come in pairs to
no one complains about that :p
🤣
double the trouble
And it only took us getting Soviet CVs before we could get BCs…
Ship: Is called Incomparable
Also ship: has 508mm guns
Me: Compares to Shikishima
Also me: “Guess she wasn’t ‘incomparable’ after all”
She was incomparable in 1915…..larger than Hood – over 1,000ft long, largest guns 20″, 35 kts speed. 12″ armour belt….deck not specified but at least 3.5″.
I was thinking “Incomparable” was a sly reference to the price WG was going to charge for the pixels 😆
@Tasha Tsu_Vachel it’s a joke
They probably getting the slow long range torps of the AP German DDs, hopefully not.
Pretty sure the T6 is pronounced Mack-en-sen, not Mc-ken-sen. But I am hyped for the line and the Brit super BB.
Butchering on a whole new level.
You are correct. As a german, I approve 😉
idc, he’s an English speaking dude so no
@Deusdomni As an English speaker I care, I try to pronounce names in other languages as they say it. Its a nice courtesy when so many have to go through learning English as a 2nd, 3rd, ect. language.
Your pronouncing of Mackensen is absolutely correct 👍
BR from Germany ✌
Man those pesky German DD’s are getting bigger and bigger. Now featuring a badly protected Citadel aswell
I am worried. According to the stream yesterday they:
“Are quite stealthy”
“Don’t have many guns (obviously)”
“Want to get CLOSER”
“If you want to get closer, they have torp […] quite long ranged torps (So i guess maybe Spee torps or some of the DD torps)”
“Have a quite good secondary armament” (that was translated from what was ssaid on the german stream) and have Hydro.
the secondary on the Tier X looks like: 2 twin 15cm guns in Graf Zeppelin mounts per side, maybe 3, but it’s hard to tell due to the angle of the picture. a bunch of 10.5 cm DP… I am NOT impressed about the amount of firepower. And that is WITHOUT taking the uselessness of 95% of the secondaries ingame into account, due to their abysmal accuracy. IF they’d give htem the Graf Zeppelin disperision, that’d be interesting…, but I highly doubt it. AND secondary builds are just too expensive anyway.
Also, the ships are WW1 designs up to Tier X, and 8 to10 probably use 42cm L45 guns… big, yes… but L45. the 42cm guns on the Frederick and Kurfürst are L48. the VII is an Ersatz-Yorck, which carreis the same guns as used on the Bayern.
And that’s not even starting about the potential firinig angles of Main and Secondary guns. And with Short range gun range… so prepare to be farmed to death by flamethrowers with probably more range.
Btw. Tier VIII is Pronounced “Tseeten”, “ie” is a drawn out “I”, somewhat similar to “See” or “sea”. And “Mackensen” as one word, not “Mac-Kensen” “Macke”.
Maybe how the Odins Main Battery performs, but for the whole line?
I’m imagining a full line of Scharnhorst/Gneisenau/Siegfried kinda ships. I’m actually really looking forward to it. But they got to have good dispersion, unlike the regular BB line, otherwise the low calibre won’t work.
The Zieten looks like some mad german engineer put gun turrents too big onto a hull too small, it’s almost comic.
Anyway i’m curious to see how this new line will be implemented.
I dont think zieten is a german desing, maybe a stolen uncompleted ship like ZF-6
@Francisco Brizard No, it’s a paper ship… and not just that, it’s a _made up_ paper ship: you can tell by the proportions of the freeboard. The made-up ones are a big too tall.
We got two intros but not two “Hello good people of Youtube”
Unbalanced just as all things shouldn’t be.
Sounds like we going to have a Jutland rematch on the horizon. A bit of payback I reckon.
my prediction is that Incorporable will be chrismas dockyard, like puerto rico
Zieten is pronounced Zeeten. I and E go walking, the second one is talking.
