Bismarck, not as powercrept as I thought

Let's talk about Bismarck. Different builds and playstyles

Nice game buddy. I may need to try this build out. I’ve have seen some testing that shows that Bismarck dispersion was never as bad as people thought. You seem to have it on par with other ships and you still have better secondaries than most other ships not named Atlantico. You have more impact early and still able to clean up the damaged opponents in close at the end.

I don’t think many people go for dispersion. It’s my go to on GK and works well with Bismarck from what I saw.

I’m about to get the Bismarck again and this was helpful. The elite bonus (at secondary range) seems to be either being shot at with body armor vs not being shot at in a way. Also I’ll have to try concealment. I personally will go secondary first slot and the bonus. Also I have the Halloween camo which is the same as the historical but I want the seebed camo cause secondary range but I’m happy.

[@TheSoulfire73]

The elite bonus for extra armor doesn’t do much but it fits my playstyle better than the secondary focused does. I know people that can make it work with the secondary build but I’m not one of them.

@@TheSoulfire73 I am a dd Main with an aggressive play style and secondary build on gneisenau worked so Bismarck should work with it.

@@ussarizona2201 I thought the same thing but for some reason I’m struggling with Bismarck. When I was testing it, I was getting 50-60k games in it but it was tough. Again, I think it’s more me than the ship. After the update to the GK main guns, I play it a bit slower early game. I think I’m just playing Bismarck the same so the secondary build doesn’t work as well. Try out the more aggressive style with the ship and let me know how it works for you.

@@TheSoulfire73 will do! Also the half Speed at the beginning is something I’ll do but once that phase is over then I’ll try my play style.

Thanks Soulfire, great video! Will you do the Freddy next?

[@TheSoulfire73]

I have to see how much silver I have. I have the Black FDG but I really don’t want to use it. I’d really like to test the FDG with the same equipment setup as Bismarck and my GK and see how it performs.

@@TheSoulfire73Ah silver... I never have enough!!! I enjoyed Freddy far more than Bismarck (I just finished grinding her and am waiting on a silver discount before buying GK). Meanwhile I'm working through the battle honours. I'm curious to try her with your concealment build (I used rudder) but again... silver!

@@David_A447 Since I started making videos, my silver has been scarce. I’m really curious to see if FDG will work with that build. I didn’t really care for the ship when I did the GK line.
