Mainz v Schill, which one should you get in World of Warships Wows Blitz

Here comes Schill, another german heavy cruiser at T8… how does it compare to the Mainz, one of the best cruisers in the game? Pretty brave from Wargaming? Or another irrelevant heavy cruiser? Let’s find out..
All the best,

Thank you for this video, I have decided to go for the Schill bcoz it can even hit BBs back hard

Thank you! Hope you like it!

@@deathfromabove432 yes indeed

I have both Mainz and Schill, but tend to enjoy Schill a bit more :) the secondaries + torp angles works very well

Re-salut DFA, J'ai acheté le pass ce weekend et débloqué le Schill. Une des raisons est que je possède déjà le Mainz (ainsi que le Black Bismark, le Black Bayern...rapid reload...). Sur le Mainz, j'ai un commandant spécifique, avec les compétences 2, 4 et 6 qui vont bien...mais aussi un rechargement rapide additionnel et depuis peu la compétence 10 de débloquer pour améliorer le rechargement rapide...du coup le commandant est parfait ou presque pour ce navire, ce qui rentabilise ce commandant spécifique qui va aussi aller sur le Black Bismark (j'avais commencé un commandant là encore spécifique, mais bon...ca va faire trop de batailles à faire ou d'expérience libre à débloquer pour le monter). Le bateau est assez fun, plus que le Prinz Eugen, mais effectivement je suis à 200% d'accord avec toi, le Mainz est largement meilleur et restera dans mes choix de prédilection pour jouer en tiers 8. Sur le Schill, les secondaires c'est sympa, mais en même temps on les perd facilement. Au niveau des canons principaux, avec deux tourelles, on perd une, on perd 50% de puissance de feu. Et puis le Mainz, il y toujours le côté sympa, pas possible à chaque bataille, de foncer en mode destroyer 😂 Juste un petit point, qui n'a rien à voir. 😉 Quand tu es quasiment pleine vie, évites d'utiliser un extincteur pour un seul incendie. 😉 Perso, j'attends d'en avoir deux ou trois, selon ce qui me tire dessus.

Hello Romain, Content que tu aimes la bestiole! Je n'ai pas de commandant 'rapid reload' donc pour moi effectivement plus compliqué... Et puis le grand perdant c'est Eugène qui ne sert vraiment plus a rien maintenant 🤣 Tout a fait d'accord avec les kits... Je me suis dit 'chérie ça va couper'' en voyant les avions arriver juste après 😉

Thank you for the video. I do have Mainz already so won't get the Blitz Pass this time.

[@earthsciencetech]

Schill has super guns and reloading .Actually it is a nice ship if there is no cv in the game but mainz is more powerful.

[@deathfromabove432]

It is! They've done a good job.. but haven't thought about giving it an edge.

[@kardy12]

Schill seems very much like an upgraded Graf Spee - not just in gun layout and style, but the Spee also isn’t exactly the quickest cruiser in the tier. I guess you have to be cautious at the start as you don’t have the speed to disengage from other cruisers and DDs, or even some t8 BBs. I do like the Spee though, even if it’s been some time since I played it.

[@deathfromabove432]

To some extent it is, but this one isn't nearly as brawly as Spee - it's more of a typical heavy cruiser with the secondaries and torpedoes 'just in case' . It's much better tier for tier (and I like Spee).

[@kardy12]

@@deathfromabove432 To be honest, after playing it a bit more it is not as slow relative to its tier as the Graf Spee - it’s no Amalfi but it’s less than half a knot slower than the Hipper/Eugen and faster than most BBs in the tier, so I was a bit overly harsh. The rapid reload also helps. You definitely struggle a bit more against DDs than the other German cruisers though.

[@deathfromabove432]

Well the slow speed means most cvs will easily run away from you… and snipe you in the process. Something to take into consideration when attacking the big flat decks. For bbs you’re fine.

[@Evilship994]

First of all thanks for this video I do have schill i think as you mentioned shill is more capable to deal with cruiser and bbs I do have her with 60k avg damage in 40 games and i dont like to play cruiser more often until nd unless its heavy But schill is special for me because i dont have mainz but to be frank Light cruiser gets hammered pretty badly with schill I do got cc on black shimanto 😅😅😅😅

[@deathfromabove432]

Hello! Schill is pretty safe, yes, good ship. Mainz can be trickier to play, it's more unforgiving. You have a good ship with this one!

[@admiral_HiHi]

I got the schill as rental and it’s amazing! After 30 battles, my stats are still at 60k dmg avg and 100% wr, a time that wg truly made a great ship

[@deathfromabove432]

yes, it's pretty good for a heavy cruiser! sometimes, it happens ;)
