644 [APOC] DasBootcamp Members 1,982 posts 8,035 battles Report post #9 Posted July 22, 2016 It was confirmed to be the Tier 8 BB along side the sister ship Tirpitz. They released the tree images earlier, just not the stats. The "old" bismarck files using the Extended Tech Tree mod from way back in the day showed it had almost the same stats as the Tirpitz. I suspect that changed though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2 [OBSO] Lieut_Spanks Members 5 posts 27,391 battles Report post #10 Posted July 22, 2016 Hello there! My first reply/post to this forum. Your question about the "Bismark" made be wonder about a question that I had concerning the upcoming German battleship line. I recently bought the "Tirpitz", a good strong ship, no complaints about it. However, from what I know they are sister ships. When they do unveil the "Bismark" what differences will there be? They're gonna have to be some major differences for me to cough the $$$ for the same ship... I'm more interested in the Pocket battleships! I think they would "as in history", wreck havoc in the game!!! If the existing cruisers are having issues now they're REALLY in trouble when the "Graff Spee" and such arrives! Think about it... The speed of a cruiser at the least with the hitting power of a battleship, Oh and don't forget the torpedoes. True battleships need to worry also. But again as for your question, why not run with the Tirpitz for now if you need the ship for some reason in a hurry. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If the existing cruisers are having issues now they're REALLY in trouble when the "Graff Spee" and such arrives! Get your history right. The German BBs that did see time in the water mostly just ran around from one place to another trying not to get sent to kingdom come by the RN and the RAF. In the end, they all ended up getting shot, torpedoed, and bombed 9 ways to Sunday, did nothing to adversely affect the British war effort, and yet somehow have gained a massive amount of popularity because of uninformed fanboys such as yourself.

No reason to shell $$ though, Bismark will be available through the grind. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

2,361 WanderingGhost Alpha Tester 5,281 posts 12,191 battles Report post #20 Posted July 22, 2016 You win the internet for today. To the op, likely inside of the next month the German BB tech tree will be released. So I'd go get the cruisers if you haven't already and get to tier 2-3 with extra xp to transfer to the tier 3 and work up the line unless you have the free xp to jump there. Also, if I had to take a guess, Bismarck likely gets further enhanced AA and/or secondaries over Tirpitz, as typically the tech tree ship is usually a bit better than the premium once upgraded (don't think they can further tweak the main guns to be any better) and well, it won't have torps like Tirpitz so I'd guess those two. Especially because they as I've heard are meant to be more brawlers and secondaries would help that. Cause for some reason the one sunk on her first venture with less AA, improper fire control, different instillations/gear, etc has to get some Wargaming upgrades to be at tier 8 and can't be put at tier 7 in a historical configuration with less HP to match the tier.
