Pretty please 😀 could you do a guide-like video on how to play Schlieffen in this meta?
Scharnhorst with speed flag and that skill what gets you a speed boost if ur not spotted. It can haul ass up to 34kts, which at tier 7 is blazing fast.
Gneisenau is faster, has better guns and secondaries
Scharnhorst is not relevant anymore
Just finished regrinding Germsn BBs for research points last month, and tried playing them full tank build. However, the poor gun accuracy really affected my gun damage, to the point where I had to respec into secondaries just to get the ships to make any significant impact in battle.
Secondary build Scharnhorst is my go to ship for tier 7 ranked
Salem and Moskva arent Premium, just “special”, wich means just a premium camo and the ability to transfer for free commanders. No other in-built currency bonuses like true premiums.
They do have reduce post battle service cost as well, I tested this with GK and Preussen, when the latter was introduced, both with perma-camos and the same flag loadout, and the GK cost 30k vs Preussen’s 60k, but no, they don’t have enhanced income
You’r both rigtt. It’s still a big difference economy-wise from a premium.
loved scharnhorst so much i bought the black version too
also gneisenau is pretty decent as secondary toon
so did I
Warspite is free if you start a new account and do the recruitment link. Still such a great Teir 6 BB. I would argue Sims is a very good destroyer at Teir 7. She used to be terrible but at Tier 7; played right she is amazing and so cheap. They gave you Sims if you bought the Beta pack. That is actually the oldest prem ship I beleive
In my opinion Blyskawica is better that Sims , I have mine few years now I bought it for DB (2 month later WG gave to armory I got no refund -_-) , but that is great ship , I have 38 battles on her and … 100% WR !!! in random , that is my oly ship with that kind of score , but I need to say I play her rarely mostly in ranked , scenarios or in brawl , but I am Polish and i have sentiment for Blyskawica , so I guess people from US will have same for Sims 🙂
I play a lot of T6 operations. My premium short list includes ARK ROYAL, PERTH, WARSPITE, and ARIZONA. Would like to hear your thoughts on ships for operations
I would include Graf Spee on that list as well.
Now that operations are being expanded to include T8 ships, just get some of the secondary specced or high dpm ships to play ops
Scharnhorst is the epitome of a German BC especially with 12 inch guns. Fast reload, sleek design, and high speed with buff making 34 knots. Literally a big boi Cruiser and it’s a dream to play. Might I add it’s one of the most beautiful ships I’ve seen hands down
@jay Vee and they’re amazing
@jay Vee *not same 11inch guns, Scharnhorst has longer barrels and uses new AP shells with better performance
@arczer25 1 Aahh.. I see. Same 11 inch but Scharnhorst is longer.
@jay Vee not same Scharnhorst is SKC/34 while Spee SKC/28.
Scharnhorst is SKC/34 not only are longer but also adopted to use new heavier AP with they are using in game giving them 60mm of extra pen with is enough to pen 300-330mm belt armors of battleships at much further ranges.
@arczer25 1 I mean same diameter.
agree with 4 but not with salem.
salem is just a waste of precious coal , its worse than dm in many aspects and the socalled “superheal” does not make up for it.
just take the dm and u will be much happier.
I have two most loved BBs that are premium, the Kii, and the Sharnhorst B. They consistently give me good results in battles. They were also the two I first bought with money.
HSF Harekaze and Asashio, great ships.
About the change to the German battleship dispersion ellipse @2:15
I am sure how much the German dispersion changing from what is now the “French and Italian Battleship dispersion” to what was called the “US and UK battleship dispertion”” really makes a difference or if it’s a placebo.
According to the WoWS wiki page on “Gunnery and Aiming” the horizontal dispersion difference is tiny
at 10Km: 160m vs 164m
at 15Km: 210m vs 213m
at 20Km: 260m vs 262m
Unless the ever mysterious vertical dispersion also changed which it might well have done, but I thought this was more to do with shell velocity and how flat the ballistic arcs were but maybe wrong about that.
Otherwise I don’t see how a few metres of horizontal dispersion changed things.
Love my Shiny-Horse, was my first Prem purchase. Still best cruiser in the game…
West Virginia 1941 is the king of t6 premium BB. Check out wows by the numbers, top of the list in win rate and average damage done at t6.
Scharnhorst can be unstoppable train IF the MM gives equal or close of that players grouping, happens 30-45% of times in the current WG algorithm
I could deffinetly name much better premium ships than Moskva, and perhaps Salem:
Stalingrad
Yoshino
Azuma
Musashi
LoYang
Kidd
Tirpitz (not as good as Odin, but surely better than Anhalt, Zieten or Brandenburg)
And there would be more, but not sure which got removed and which did not. (You can still get Musashi in auction premium crates. Same for JB)
Moskva is in a weird spot where she tries to do everything, but sucks at everything. Cannot HE spam due to the long reload and the fact that you cannot show side to fire all guns, meaning you got only 6 guns firing every 10 seconds. She cannot use her AP like Stalingrad. She cannot tank due to massive size and superstructure. She cannot manouver etc.
And Salem. Well, it’s basically a Des Moines with a superheal, which is useful in only 25-20% of the cases, since battleships would chunk you before you get to use it.
Warspite is always a fun time
