I think a lot of people may feel that way when they get to the Gneisenau. Though the Scharnhorst might be a tad better. They truly compliment each other. Plus, you get the benefits of having a CPT trainer with the Scharnhorst. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm looking forward to Gneisenau as, to me at least, it seems that each higher tier in the German BB line is more fun and Bayern has been entertaining so far.

(Of the two sisters) I don't have either of them. But I will probably buy Scharnhorst on Friday. I will eventually get its sister as I slowly grind up the lines. From what I hear about it, I will probably end up keeping it after I unlock Bismarck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

662 [FAE] BlailBlerg Members 2,626 posts 4,000 battles Report post #13 Posted October 4, 2016 Hi Zoup: Did you get this problem during gneis? I see you attempt to load HE like 3 times in the video, my AP keeps getting switched to HE at random times. Over and over again. (Most people honestly aren't going to want to use HE on German BBs AND try and get pen shots aiming. It looks like you made a mistype each time...) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
707 Sink_Stuff Beta Testers 1,971 posts 13,729 battles Report post #14 Posted October 4, 2016 This ship is very good and can hang in at close range, I have should have not bought the Scharnhorst. did not need it. The Scharnhorst and Gneisenau are neck and neck for stats for all games. They are both almost the same. However, the top players are getting more average damage in the Scharnhorst than the Gneisenau. It has more guns, longer range, faster reload, and about the same dispersion. The Scharn can also engage destroyers better due to more guns and faster reload. So if you like the Gneisenau, you should actually like the Scharn just as much, if not more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
17 Whiteout ∞ Beta Testers 153 posts 7,170 battles Report post #15 Posted October 4, 2016 I sold mine after I got Bismarck because I have Scharnhorst too but it was really hard. I fell in love with that ship. Scharnhorst just feels a little more versatile though and they just aren't different enough for me to keep both like Bismarck and Tirpitz. Great ship though. You can carry a lot in it with the kind of tiering you see in it most times. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
31 TANSTAAFL Beta Testers 103 posts 14,003 battles Report post #16 Posted October 4, 2016 They are two of my favorite ships, hands down. Mostly because they're some of the most entertaining battleships to play. I tend towards the aggressive (too much so probably) and these ships tend to reward not being shy. It's also funny how many people forget they have torps..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
