It sits there looking at me. The gaping maw of the 150mm cannon, teasing its 750 average damage. Is it really worth the long reload, though?

To me, no.
I've gotten 2 MOE's just using the 12.8 and I have little trouble with it.

12.8 is better in every single way except alpha. I use the 12.8

If you REALLY want to be a cheeky motherfucker, use APCR.
It doesn't need it, but it's fucking hilarious.

Same. 6 APCR and a couple HE's for other Borsig's/Waffles.
I like using them for shits n' giggles.
Don't even really have to aim. Point & click.

I get on with both the 12.8 and the 15 (almost to 2nd MoE) and just seem to feel the pull of the 15cm more often than not.
IMO it's OP at Tier 8 with a good camo crew and if you're not afraid to shoot premium rounds at Tier 10 it carries itself very well. At Tier 10 I feel I don't need to expose or jeapordize my position as often with the 15cm. It is gratifying to punch through an E75's lower plate for 750 and a wrecked engine with a Tier 8 tank.

I put every camo perk and permanent camo on it.
I become the bush.
The camo on this thing is disgustingly awesome.

I can see the 15 cm being useful when fighting other borsigs, or the ever popular "Battle Borsig" strategy, of which involves a Borsig using it's insane camo value and small size to dump a 750 alpha bomb on someone. It works rather well if you are in a platoon of heavies.

I play with the 15. purely just for the lols. Some games the gun trolls ya and you can't hit shit, but most of the time I'm laughing my cock off while playing my borsig. Even on the bad games. Also I fire mostly prem rounds when I play it just for added laughs.
Also have to add the 12.8 is the better gun when playing totally serious.

I tried both but settled on the 128 just because of the quicker reload. I'll still equip the 15cm just for kicks sometimes but every time I do so I forget to adjust my ammo loadout. Every single time.

The 15 is basically a derp gun. If you like to derp, then load all HE and HEAT. If you use much AP in the 15 cm, you're doing it wrong. PlayerTD gave me crap for using the 15 once upon a time, now he likes it more.
Basically I used the 12.8 to grind out the next tank, then I go back and use the 15 for fun. I only run the Borsig in platoon, so that helps the 15 cm as well. You can either lob HE from distance, or hit HEAT from closer up. If you run with 3+ heavies, you can hide behind walls till the enemy fires, then pop out to hit them for 750 while they're reloading. Then hide behind your heavies while reloading. Then wait for reds to be distracted and fire at someone else, and pop out again. That's the battle borsig strategy.
If I was grinding again, I'd use the 12.8 because it's more consistent and has an APCR premium round. But now that I'm just using it for fun in platoon, I use the 15.

The 12.8 in better in almost every way. But for the last week I've been using the 15.0 and it's been a blast. One shotting lights and 1/2 health 7's and 8's is so much fun. Try it for a few games and as above use HEAT for extra lol's.
Most people assume that you will do 500 so when you hit for up to 900 it's a bit of a shock and they scuttle away rapidly.
Also as mentioned sometimes the gun will troll hard but the next game you will pen 8 shots and do 5K.
I'll probably switch back soon as the 12.8 is obviously much more consistent but I'm glad I tried the big stick

The 15 is a steaming pile of WG mod shit. I tried it for two matches. Not worth the reduced penetration and horrific reload. |
