This time we'll be comparing Scharnhorst and Gneisenau. Now, Scharnhorst and Gneisenau both had several configurations over their careers so I have decided to compare the two as the appeared during Operation Berlin as this was not only arguably their most famous/successful operation but also because it was heavily photographed and even video-taped for propaganda purposes, so this is the configuration that many people are most are familiar witth. NOTE: PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTES BASED OFF OF LOOKS ALONE, TRY NOT TO LET HISTORY OR ANY OTHER BIASES EFFECT YOUR DECISION. FURTHER NOTE: KEEP IN MIND THAT THIS SCHARNHORST AND OUR SCHARNHORST IN-GAME ARE NOT IN THE SAME CONFIGURATION! WE ARE USING 1941 SCHARNHORST FOR THIS COMPARISON, NOT 1943! Quick and dirty guide on how to tell Scharnhorst and Gneisenau apart below... Mast: Gneisenau's main mast is located on the funnel, Scharnhorst's is located behind her Hangar. Hangar: Gneisenau's hangar is much smaller than Scharnhorst's. Scharnhorst's hangar extends all the way from the funnel to the rearmost superstructure. Bridge: Gneisenau's bridge is enclosed and features large windows, Scharnhorst's bridge is open and is void of windows. Now the, let us begin!

Her small hangar and center mast make her look low and long and sexy. Scharnhorst is just too bulky looking compared to her sister and her open bridge lacks personality. HOWEVER, both are absolutely gorgeous vessels. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
