She's currently on sale, with a hefty discount. I have Gneisenau and enjoy the ship but find she can be frustrating as the guns tend to troll quite a bit. How is the Scharnhorst by comparison? Is she worth the money?

Scharnhorst is easily one of the most fun ships to play in the game - premium or otherwise. The guns aren't accurate per se, but 9 guns with a much faster reload makes it much easier to play than only 6 guns on the Gneis. The smaller caliber means you won't citadel BBs as much, but it absolutely punishes cruisers and still does good damage to BBs (especially superstructure with AP or HE in general). 3 6km torps per side and good armor make her a good all around ship. Plays almost like a very well armored and almost impossible to citadel cruiser, especially when you're in a T9 match. Very forgiving ship.

If you're feeling lucky you could buy a few of the "Big" Santa crates and you might get a Scharn.

This ship is amazing. I'm doing better in the Gneisenau now after using the Scharn too, i think the Scharnhorst is helping me figure out the playstyle of both, she is more forgiving due to the faster reload.

I took onboard the advice you guys gave me regarding torps and i now understand when to use BB torps. Did a kind of weave between two BBs that were sailing in a column, fired torps out the port side at one, then moved between the ships and fired the starboard torps at the other. These ships seem to have more than enough belt armour to do that kind of move without eating shells and the secondaries are mental. I had been being too passive with Gneisenau before. Going to have to make sure i don't try it against ships that have torps themselves though.
I can now hunt down and kill DDs too, Gnes is the better one for catching them but her guns seem to over pen too often against them, but Scharnhorst's do the trick.
Hoping to see you guys on at some point, playing these alongside some CAs or DDs will be great. i stuck with a random DD last night and it was brilliant. Both ships worked well together.

I got a 10 point captain with my ship, any advice on how to set him up? I haven't played enough to know the names of the skills off by heart yet. Mines got a secondary build as it's also the captain i'm using in Bismarck. Youtube is a good bet though mate, Ichase or Flamu will no doubt have good builds, or LittleWhiteMouse, she has a guide written for it no doubt. |
