Revisiting My Most Controversial Video Ever For Redemption in World of Warships Legends!

[@launcesmechanist9578]

Lol used my 70% coupon for Constellation and here you go dropping a Scharnhorst video which was my second choice. 😂

[@SpartanElite43]

😄

[@simonhobbs3458]

I never saw your original video Spartan, but by god you bullied the heck out of the enemy team on this . Well played mate

[@lurkingedge]

I nearly bought the Constellation. It's like the Ohio's older battlecruiser cousin. It's at the top of my want list, but everybody is always going on about the Atlantico...

[@launcesmechanist9578]

@@lurkingedge Already had Atlantico. Her secondaries can make mincemeat of the enemy team if you give them the chance. However, beware of fire spammers…

[@gabrielgaitan4856]

KMS Scharnhorst is NOT a battlecruiser, it is a fast battleship, it’s not just the guns that are different, armor is a critical difference. Graf Spee is an armored ship or Panzerschiffe, but later re-classified as heavy cruisers.

[@CodyVB1991]

Glad that you’re here as your true authentic self. Happy pride Spart’! Despite this awful goddamn ship!

[@SpartanElite43]

Wow thank you so much absolute 🐐! I appreciate the support. I dont bring it up very often because folks are here to watch entertaining gameplay. Thank you again so much. Happy Pride!

[@o0_VanYsH_0o]

Scharnhorst can be REALLY good, but this is not a Beginner Ship. Those guns are PUNY for BBs of the Tier, you have to know where to shoot ships for AP Damage, or use HE. The Torpedoes make great defense, but unless you are confident, don't rush with em, it'll end badly. Scharnhorst will make a ton of credits for you and quickly, but it may take some time in the ship to figure it out. Overall, I think the Scharnhorst is GOOD, but it's not going to perform every time. You get into a T7 match, you might have a bad day.

[@SpartanElite43]

It can be solid even at tier 7

[@Bri-sr8dx]

@@SpartanElite43Only problem is the huge gap between t7 ships, and idk why, but Scharnhorst feels like it has less armour than Gniesenau, and using the guns wrong can catch you out, was so focused on a Veneto one time that I caught him full broadside round a corner and shot his lower belt, all shatters.. devastating, but my own fault

[@gabrielgaitan4856]

And of course, you have the Odin.

I've been watching you for dam near 4 years yes you coming out was a doozy but honestly not unexpected but omg have your videos gotten better your happy your the true you it's controversial cuz holy fuck how dare you be happy

[@SpartanElite43]

Thanks so much and I'm definitely happier

[@uniraptor9168]

Hey Spartan! Grear showcase of the Scharnhorst even with small guns she can pack a punch. Look forward to seeing more videos of you showcasing older ships.

[@garrow12225]

Great video! Played the shiny horse back in 2019 on pc. Now I’m back into wows on mobile and grinding at tier V. See you on the high seas, admiral_Snackbar

[@njmaniaci]

Funny thing is scharnhorst was my first ever purchased premium ship when i started playing. I have the most games in it. Aside from being overzealous to get the torps off at the end you played her pretty damn well. I generally use her high rate of fire, good armor, speed and manueveability to charge at enemies forcing them to make moves that expose they're weak spots..if they choose to charge in repsomse they know ive got torps..which forces them to respect it.

[@frednone]

The big thing with the Scharnhorst is at its best as a cruiser killer. If you are using it against a BB keep the distance open and snipe with it. Using it like 35 thousand ton DD will get you heading back to port.

[@TheDthatcher]

Scharnhorst is probably one of my fav tier 6 battleships cause it’s accurate and reloads quick and can tank damage and can slap too

[@connertravanini773]

Scharnhorst is a fast battleship, not a battle cruiser. The Deutschland class (Graf Spee in Legends) was a Panzerschiff, which you could argue was more of a battle cruiser than the Scharnhorst class, as Scharnhorst was well armoured and had good speed, with smaller battleship guns, where as the Graf Spee was fast but not as heavily armoured, but had large guns for the size of the ship.

[@SpartanElite43]

The 283mm guns of Scharnhorst are very small compared to most battleships of her time

[@connertravanini773]

@@SpartanElite43 that is true, but still a battleship none the less.

[@frednone]

​@connertravanini773 I would argue that use is more indicative than nomenclature, Scharnhorst's mostly, if not exclusively, were used in battlecruiser missions.

[@connertravanini773]

@@frednone I would like to point out that Bismarck was also going to be used for shipping raids

[@joaomariacristino5734]

The first bar of the ship's HP, usualy doesn't represent 5000 HP, because if would the ships could only have HP numbers that could be multiplied by 5000

[@SpartanElite43]

It's not perfect but it's close

[@WaddleZilla-hk9py]

One time not even a minute in one match, both my torpedo tubes instantly got destroyed on my prince Heinrich.

[@SpartanElite43]

Yeah it can happen

[@willc4920]

What’s your build just the full secondary? I’ve always used Otto with Hipper and back forth with Madden, Direvel, Cunn. She’s my third most used ship but also my only ship with under 50% win rate, at 49%. I also usually struggle to even get near 100k damage most games with her, yet I still usually have fun and get a few kills at a time. I’m a US BB main lol

[@SpartanElite43]

I just used my usual Hyde build with Hipper and haruna as inspirations

[@gokuismymom8553]

Never understood why everybody loved Scharnhorst until I used her. She takes a bit to learn but she is very solid. I still don't ever remember a time where I was actually scared because I was facing a Sharnhorst but I do see the appeal now.

[@CRAIGKMSBISMARCKTIRPITZ533]

Hitler's Ship's Were & Are Male's Not Females 😃

[@honorless1719]

I love the Shiny Horse but she has to be played right. A cruiser killer and battle ship helper, her speed is so helpful. Such a great looking ship also but that low bow kept her "wet" in open seas

[@vinnyganzano1930]

I've got both the regular Scharnhorst and the Scharnhorst B, it's a ship I don't play often but enjoy when I do. Decent guns if a bit small, nice torpedoes reasonable secondaries and to be fair I consider her to be a BC too.

[@panacea_.]

hey, Spartan! i’m amazed to find you were trans! as also part of the lgbt+ community (i’m gay lol) it’s inspiring to see someone else out there, especially as i haven’t come out to most people yet! thank you, and keep up what you’re doin man! :)

[@SpartanElite43]

Thank you and happy Pride month. I posted a video a couple years back but it's not something I usually bring up on my channel because folks are here for games not my personal life. That being said I know how hard it can be to start the conversation with your family. Took me 34 years to finally come to that point. I just didn't want to spend the rest of my life hiding. I still struggle a lot as I live in a pretty backward area and it's terrifying for me to go out in public. I wish you the best on your own journey and I hope this helps but in my albeit limited experience our brain makes us fear the worst but the reality is usually much less scary. Big hugs 🥰

[@panacea_.]

⁠@@SpartanElite43happy Pride too! i really appreciate your words Spartan, they are really kind and promising and i am so inspired by your story from the video which i watched, to come close to coming out - also i live with homophobic parents and my family is mostly quite old fashioned, so it can be hard, but stories like yours are so worth to tell, and i thank you so much for that. i wish you all the best for becoming more comfortable going out in the public etc, and i hope that things will get better with people’s attitudes, these things really are real. thanks, Spartan, sending hugs back! 🥰

[@jackasamurai9778]

The Scharny is my favorite tier VI ship. I’ve had so many clutch wins from her. GG Spartan

[@howardbursee307]

Me-1500+ games in "Shiny horse"

[@seanprice8907]

Props to that california for understanding his situation (even if it was only because you told him) I've seen plenty of BB players who just rush into that sort of situation and just devour every torpedo. it'd good to know the capabilities of ships and the Gnevny as a russian DD has laughable torpedo range and thus can't chase targets well while renown is lightly armored her guns are 15 inch and pack a wollop catching most off guard with her shorter than average reload speed. so the right thing to do in that situation was to tactically retreat

[@romallama44]

A good player will get good results in Scharnhorst. It’s an incredibly high skill floor for a German BB. But it’s this weird aggressive flanker playstyle, kinda like Flandre

[@romallama44]

Reload and German HE pen make it viable at tier 7 too

[@moonytheloony6516]

And that's why the Scharnhorst is a fantastic battlecruiser to play....

[@cheese5719]

Scharnhorst is a weapon Had a game where i got 2 x double strikes by brawling and torping off both sides.

[@gmantitan1695]

I received the Scharnhorst in a crate, I use the Azur Lane Bismarck commander (Don't have the Scharnhorst commander) and I'm wondering what else could be a good build in terms of fast reload
