It has taken me a long while, but I am finally learning to manage average games with the Sims and its ultra slow 9k torps. I can't wait for Scharnhorst to be released. My Sims and Lo Yang are gona love it.

 

What ship are you going use to take down the Scharnhorst?

Not really, but it can launch 8 at a time and it only has a 64 second reload, so, its more about spamming the waters and burning down with guns. That's what i have been doing with some success to other ships, fast or slow.

What am I going to use to wreck Scharnhorst's?

 

Atago, I will prey on Scharnhorst's when I'm in a T6-T8 game.. huehuehue.

 

 

That or I will pray that a Scharnhorst gets up-tiered into a T10 game and I wreck it in my Khab or Zao :D

You know a lot more about the game than I do. Won't the Atago just get citadeld from long range before it gets a chance to do much? I have the Atago, but I am not good in it. Why would the Atago be good? I would love to use it against them, i just don't know how to use that ship the best.

I could imagine a Minekaze/Fuujin/Kamikaze could give a Scharnhorst a fun time.

Scharnhorst's guns may not have quite the punching power needed to actually cut through an Atago all that consistently if she angles properly, not to mention, Atago can dump 10 km torps at an angle that doesn't require full broadsiding. And if the accuracy stats are correct, the Scharn may actually have a bit of trouble actually hitting the Atago if it jukes properly.

 

Also, IJN 203 mm HE. Fires for days.

North carolina/Montana (Scharn seems to be meant to be a cruiser killer.These girls are just better at BB engagments.)

 

Benson/Sims (torps and/or invisi spamming HE)

 

Arizona (this will probably be a good fight.zona's armor will probably deflect the majority of scharns shots,but she's a slow lumbering beast that will prolly end up eating torps if i let the schorn get to close.

 

Tirpitz (sibling rivalry lol)

Come at me with an Atago. Crush you like a tin can.

How arrogant, I'll be glad to prove you wrong.

Never turn broadside, if you abuse WASD and stay at a nice range you will be fine unless you are caught in a semi-circle. I can dance with a maximum of 3 BBs and be able to inflict moderate damage to them and still escape.

That's the key. Always be setting yourself up for a launch. Don't use narrow spreads except at point blank range. Set things up so you can flood them while their DC is on cooldown.

It will be interesting to see the German BB "Brawling" playstyle in a server known for the polar opposite of that.  Especially a BB trying to eagerly get in Brawling range.  I'm pretty sure the DD aficionados are licking their chops.

The IJN fires will be more dangerous to Scharnhorst than threat of 10km torpedoes. 10km is danger close in a CA to a CA hunting battleship. The New Orleans with AP can pen a 45 degree angled Atago at 10km range with mediocre 8" guns. I'm pretty sure that the 11" guns on the Scharnhorst are going to sing the Trolling Saruman song as they slice through that overhyped Nippon Steel like a hot katana through the neck of a disgraced Samurai.
