... Scharnhorst and Gneisenau (self.WorldOfWarships) submitted 3 years ago by bupmex. All Discussions ... And i went head on against Bismark with gneisenau. At least for defensive distract the other team while yours steals caps. Just watch out for torps. I know that the Gneisenau is very hard to get used to compared to the traiditional German battleships, but she does have a lot of potential and is a great ship to play once you get the hang of her. TheHolyAsdf, March 28, 2019 in Newcomers Zone. The Gneisenau is one of the strongest 1v1 or 1v2 ships and her amazing speed allows her to close quickly and dictate the terms and pacing of the engagement. She's everything you could want a sleek raider to be. There's a difference between triggering the SJWs (and I doubt WG cares much about the ridiculous things people get worked up over here in the US) and actually running into legal trouble in certain countries. The first of a new series. If everything is dead and by some miracle you didn't ram somebody, use your superior speed to get to the other flank and do the same thing there. The first of a new series. The Gneisenau is one of the strongest 1v1 or 1v2 ships and her amazing speed allows her to close quickly and dictate the terms and pacing of the engagement. For Gneisenau, it is key to learn when to get close and brawl and when to withdraw. It has the speed, tankiness and firepower to be the spearhead of your flank, so act like it. To learn when to retreat is also key, knowing how she will easily take damage. Yeah. It only has 6 guns with bad dispersion and is very allergic to fishes. In the lategame you want to go hunting for your small, equal-number duels (1v1, 1v2, 2v2). Among her drawbacks were the small number of main guns and weak horizontal armor. It still costs you significant HP most of the time to close in and go for close-range kills, so your HP is in many ways your most important resource as the game progresses. Do not try and knife fight cruisers, the shell dispersion is so awful, you'll be lucky to hit them at 10km reliably as they burn you down with HE spam. Your 26-second reload and fast traverse means you won't be lacking for targets, and again your shell performance is actually very forgiving when they do connect so you tend to rack up good damage with just a handful of hits. She's a really fascinating and fun ship once you get the hang of her. I value the extra early heal more and just accept that I'll eat one torp's worth of damage in those do-or-die situations late in the game. Rudder shift time lowered to around 14s, she's a battlecruiser for fugg's sake. That and what i read make me sceptic. The guns can be frustrating, since their are only 6, but their reload speed and turret treverse allow for a high degree of flexibility. Thank you so much for the information. use that info well. The Gneisenau is an example, the British destroyers Jutland and Acasta should really be Dunkirk and Anthony.
