As a fellow Bismarck enjoyer, we do not consider this man a part of the Bismarck Enjoyer Society, the true Bismarck enjoyers know how to close the distance and wittle down any battleship with the secondaries and reep the rewards of the "ancient" turtle-back armor scheme. As this Bismarck player stayed broadside he showed his lack of competence and therefore has either never been, or has just been temporarily removed from the Bismarck Enjoyer Society. Thank you for your understanding and we dearly apologize for this players blatant dispespect of the WWII might of the Kriegsmarine. If anyone would like to join the Bismarck Enjoyer Society, simply grind to the Bismarck, play a few games, and sink an iowa class batttleship in a one on one scenario, or as close as you can get to a one on one scenario. (This translates to over 75% of the damage being done by you alone)

I enjoying playing the Bismarck for historical reasons but I'm not under any delusions it's a particularly good ship at t7. Having to close the distance is an indication the main guns are subpar, the secondaries are a fireworks show at anything beyond point blank, the turtleback is meaningless when half your HP is in your superstructure. I WANT the Bismarck to be good. I want it to be a great mid range brawler. It just can't seem to meet me halfway by standing out as good at something, it's just meh at everything. That said, I have had great games in Bismarck, I've just had WAY more great games in most of my other T7 bbs (except the Italians but WG seems to hate them). Put another way also, I'm never afraid of a Bismarck at T7 especially if I'm in an American bb. But maybe all of this is just me.

[@timmyzero5]

I miss those day on 2020 and 2021 when 3 bismarck on one division and using the wtr skill 😅

[@froddy32623]

Sparty has armor viewer built into his brain.

[@SpartanElite43]

Lol just played enough to know basic armor profiles

[@Spiro_Fire]

You seems to enjoy the Kansas most of the time too

[@artochoamovies]

It’s because most players just want to get on to their console after a long day and shoot at boats. They’re not particularly interested in if they win if they can just get another boat at port and enter another lobby. Just a bunch of happy tomatoes.

[@sith_ninja8970]

Just wanted to say GG… I was the Belfast and saw your name and was like “aw %#*@, I’m probably gonna be the featured potato on one of your videos 😂” good running into you

[@SpartanElite43]

Haha gg 🤣

[@ImXPenguin]

This was an awesome video! I recently got back to playing the Iowa again after watching a few videos on how you play battleships and so far so good, i just get my fair share of not having good teammates 😅😅

[@SpartanElite43]

Hope you enjoy her

[@DrGhostGames]

Must be nice to have good RNG. Most of my bbs (including my iowas) have been shite. Combine that with crap matchmaking, teams, and maps, it’s just rough.

[@DuttySosig]

Feel you on that but specifically the Iowa, on a full accuracy build my Iowa still consistently shotguns. It’s a cursed ship for me. Shame because I wanted it to be fun to use.

[@Frateloder]

Even though the Iowas are the most consistently accurate BBs at T7, they aren't nearly as satisfying as they would be in real life. If WG tried to simulate them, it wouldn't be a contest.

[@DrGhostGames]

@@Frateloder It would be straight up unfair hehe

[@jimmyellner4763]

Love your videos Spartan! Looking forward to some livestream warships!

[@SpartanElite43]

Glad you enjoy

[@jordanhill5238]

I love the Iowa but the Vladivostok is still my personal favorite tier 7

[@lurkingedge]

I just unlocked the New Orleans. My first TT tier 6. I FINALLY got a grasp on playing the Pensacola and went... 8 for 9? In her. Now I just need to figure out island camping.

[@SpartanElite43]

Congrats

[@gokuismymom8553]

If you were playing Pensacola right you should already know how to all the American cruisers are island huggers. Just make sure you don't sit too far back if you sit back too far your shells will take an eternity to land which usually means the will get dodged and once you start getting radar cruisers you won't be able to use it if you sit too far back.

[@Bri-sr8dx]

Spartan I don’t know what the hell you did to my Iowa but ever since you posted that last video in the Iowa when you were on islands of ice, it’s become a railgun, dude, I don’t know how or what kind of witch craft you have but keep it coming please

[@SpartanElite43]

😄

[@TheLoops73]

I personally prefer the Kansas but iowa is good too.

lets go Spartan..... LETS GO SPARTAN

My Chonky Boi Kansas feels more consistent to me compared to my Iowa, love both tho

Forgot This Last Game, I Hope Get Better Soon Sparty And Obviously Iowas The Best Bismarck And Vanguard Aint Got Nothing On It. INDY Vid Plz, Excellent Video Sparty Always Have Enjoyed Your Vids.

[@skillator_22]

I’m sad. I’m yet to have that great game in Iowa. Just can’t GEL.

[@chrisvssn]

Hi, i am building up William Sims, but not sure what the best commanders are to add on, anny sugestions ?. I was putting in more accuracy but now i doubt thats the best think to do ? Also put the italian guy with reload thats always good in my opnion Keep up de vids sparty! like to watch them ❤

[@SpartanElite43]

Personally I run Cunningham and Paolo Di Revel with my William Sims build

[@Frateloder]

Already ditched that fancy white Halloween event skin on BB-61!? Own it, Spartan! :)

[@SpartanElite43]

😄 yeah I changed back to My OG paint for my Iowa

[@Frateloder]

@@SpartanElite43 certainly wouldn't want to make your Montana, Missouri, and Ohio jealous - I get it.

[@SeanSauvageau]

Hey Spartan, I'm having an extremely hard time grinding out the Gorky. Can you do a video on a recommended build and playstyle for the ship? Keep up the good work!

[@Suportartist]

I'm not very well experienced with gorky, but as far as I have played, it is decently tanky at range. Far from something that just explodes. A little skill and some elbow grease and gorky could carry a 100k game on its shoulders.

[@SeanSauvageau]

@@Suportartist I do not share that experience. Even at range, I'm getting nuked. Not manueverable. No stealth to speak of. Is this thing just a glass cannon?

[@Jordan-gh6pe]

I had issues with it to,but stay by islands,and wait mid game before you get spotted,I had a 5 kill game in it,the guns are so good

[@Jordan-gh6pe]

AP shells are the gorkers best and only option

[@whokinson5314]

I almost never use my Iowa. Always jump in Kansas.

[@ColaFr34k]

bismarck needs rupprecht secondary accuracy. the wonky main guns works as intended.

[@VORTICEXX]

IOWA The King of Tier 7

[@olgagagarina4166]

You still should say what ur doing. Setting up crossfires. Bob Ross never stopped explaining. Just a happy little crossfire

[@mightymoose4577]

Omg, that sounds like a new catch phrase! "Happy little crossfires" yes!

[@Toilettowerdeferencemaster]

Please play the zitein sorry if I spelled it wrong but I just dont know how to play it like is it for attack or sniping

[@DuckSauce06]

I love you Spartan, but I'm actually used to winning in it, it's my ship with the most win rate, and that's been against mostly Iowas :)

[@ColdNinjaPro]

Good game Spartan. I know you said the wows streams will be delayed because you get kinda animated and it hurts your injury, but does that also apply to the Ark stream as well?

[@SpartanElite43]

I may stream Ark soon

I wish vlad and the other Russian battleships had an extra heal and damage control, they just feel like worse American battleships with some different characteristics

[@SpartanElite43]

Glad you enjoy! Much Appreciated

[@splice9503]

Savage 🤣 Spartan just roasting Bismarck’s

[@SpartanElite43]

Haha Dont worry my next video will make up for it

[@MACSPORRON]

A bit of controversy from me..... Bismarck was a battle cruiser,not a battle ship .... Discuss.🤔

[@177SCmaro]

I think that's going to be a tough case to make given Bismarck had an above-average, even for a bb, percentage of it's displacement dedicated to armor which screams battleship. Even Iowa could be argued to be closer to a battlecruiser than Bismarck.

[@koliu4iy]

Iowa is good , may be the best , i also like Richelieu with sniper build then may be Vladi , everything else is much weaker.

[@emmashepard1822]

Quick question,what modifications you use on the ship? Just asking because i got the ship recently...a few days ago. 🤔

[@SpartanElite43]

Personally I run AA,Steering,Concealment,and Artillery plotting

[@emmashepard1822]

[@duyanhvu91]

Day 1 of asking Spartan to play Tirpitz again. Amazing Iowa vid as always.

[@user-jc3gc6yo9h]

I can't think of a better Tier seven Tech Tree BB. Tirpitz is way better than Bismarck because of the Torpedo's that work great when you get into brawling range. I did 112,765 damage playing Tirpitz B the other day. I really appreciate your videos because they have helped me get better at the game. I also had a 102,040 damage game with 2,312 XP, and number one on the winning team playing Shimanto.

[@SpartanElite43]

Glad you enjoy

[@177SCmaro]

It's possible to have a good game in any ship. Doesn't mean it's a good ship. The important thing is it's a fun ship for you.

[@paulspydar4320]

Mass B ,is my go to and Alabama very closely 2nd.

[@Mrdjs1133]

I love the Iowa. Living in LA, I've been to her several times. I even saw Dracinifel there for a meet-up once! Oh, sorry...* insert superior German engineering meme arbitrarily*

[@doobedi]

Yep iowa is my favorite ship,

[@Germanbattleshipenjoyer]

I would like to make a polite disagreement. I think it is the Vladivostok. But the absolute best tier 6 ships are Gneisenau and Poltava 😀

[@SpartanElite43]

Vladi is strong but definitely not the best roo inconsistent

[@Germanbattleshipenjoyer]

@@SpartanElite43 I see her as the the Soviet Iowa.

[@Professional1152]

What build do you use for gneisenau?, you are the first guy I've heard that likes it

[@Germanbattleshipenjoyer]

@@Professional1152 I use full speed build Lutjens

[@Germanbattleshipenjoyer]

@@Professional1152I use Bruce and Emile for inspirations fully maxed. For modules I use aa mod 1, steering gears and concealment. All of this gets me amazing AA, 38 knots, 9.5 second rudder and 12.6 km concealment.

[@Jordan-gh6pe]

Spartan is right, besides the secondarys are garbage in legends useless,need main guns with accuracy, by the way it doesn't matter how useless you set yourself up to be in skills to not get set on fire,still going to burn ,screwing you over with skills you need,

[@jacobsfam1158]

Love the Iowa but I love the NC more

[@rcgrizzly94]

Honestly..Iowa is probably 4 or 5 down my list

[@SpartanElite43]

What tech tree BB would you rate higher than Iowa

[@rcgrizzly94]

Well my opinion I like Kansas and Vladivostok more so than Iowa in game...I've been on the Iowa twice in real life its a beaut but in game I think shes 4th for me

[@ricbarker4829]

so you get over 200K and you are rewarded with 424 Green XP? I'm gonna have to play this game until I am100 years old to buy a prem ship.

[@philip1065]

Sorry but the Kansas is by far the best tech tree T7 BB and it's not close.

[@joaomariacristino5734]

You said Iowa is thanky?!

[@JamesHickman-ow9tr]

I think Kansas is the best T7 tech tree bb but the Iowa is a close second.

[@SpartanElite43]

Only reason I give Iowa the edge is tankiness and mobility

[@christophermorris6386]

Wait a minute Spartan! You can't call every tier 7 you play the best. I agree Iowa is the best and the other one is okay.

[@jamesherron9969]

I’m sorry bro but as far as I’m concerned, it is a hunk of junk. I’ve had tears six battleships blast right through the side with 380 mm not to mention that everybody knows if you shoot at the front of that goddamn thing you will dictate the front Tourette.

[@WarhammerWings]

​@SpartanElite43 Anything that isn't American. You lads get too big for yer britches at times lol, so it's all the more satisfying deleting any US ship. X3

[@177SCmaro]

@@SpartanElite43 Kansas As a side note since they aren't techtree, pretty much all the South-Dakota's are better than Iowa which makes no sense given Iowa was more advanced in almost every way. But it's WG. historical accuracy left the chat long ago. If anything, Iowa could do with an accuracy buff imo since that was one of the main things the ship was known for besides speed. Kansas, ffs, is more accurate simply by volume of fire.

[@SpartanElite43]

@@WarhammerWings lol so your bias against American ships

[@WarhammerWings]

​@SpartanElite43 Yep! Mainly because of RNGesus going "HAHA,FECK YOU." across EVERY SINGLE US bb I have, premium and TT, until my Massa B gets it done. Wish Ohio would return though, or make Christmas ships like anniversary event ships. That's what I personally don't like about Christmas events at WOWSL.
