Brawling ain't dead

[@DontPanicVU]

Jingles: You need to switch between ammunition types to do well in the Scharnhorst Val: Never touches the 1 key in the entire battle.

[@mangrey2361]

The HE is abslute Arse on that boat they do less damage they IJN 8 inch HE

[@ArschvomDienst]

Yeah ... Because Jingles is not correct on this one. The HE on a Scharnhorst is absolutely garbage due to the low caliber gun and only viable for starting fires. The fire chance is relatively good but not even close to british flamethrower BB's. Hell even shooting at destroyers the HE isn't superior ... You almost always are better off peppering superstructures with AP. Back when the Scharnhorst was new Jingles advice hold true. But the ship has been nerfed a couple of times and most newer ships are better armored.

[@charithwijesinghe3547]

Actually jingles has point, when you get uptiered and have to face izumos and musashis you're pretty much stuck with the pitiful He.

[@CeesaX]

@@charithwijesinghe3547 You're absolutely correct. Top tier Scharn can stick to AP and be fine, but bottom tier Scharn has to switch to HE when it sees a T9 BB go bow in and doesn't have any other targets.

[@ArschvomDienst]

@@charithwijesinghe3547 Yes ... No ... Kinda ... Maybe ... Thing is the damage of the HE Shells is that bad that even with the special HE penetration the german ships have you will get shatters on the deck and large parts of the superstructure leaving only the fires to do damage while the AP can at least often penetrate the superstructure and do damage. Keep in mind fire damage can be healed to full extend while AP damage can't. Only at extreme ranges the HE has slightly better performance since the relatively light AP shells loose a lot of effectiveness with range. But being slightly better than crap is still crappy. Uptiered EVERY ship in WoWs has problems. Unlike WoT where some Tanks (looking at you KV-2) don't care about tiers. Aside from destroyers maybe because you can't kill what you can't see ...

[@satannstuff]

Most Gneisenau captains are perfectly aware that Scharnhorst has the exact same torpedoes they do, so some sense of self preservation kicks in and they don't suicide rush as often.

[@ying20000818]

Tell that to the two Gneis that I sailed down the middle of in my Scharny...neither even tried to torp me as I point blanked both with torps and then secs/main guns finished both off :P

[@LavitosExodius]

Wish they'd remember that with Tirpitz haha. They suicide rush me all the time in it.

[@NilsonNeo4]

Title should have been "brawling ain't dead"

[@ikko93]

Brawling is dead. He was just lucky to have so many Idiots on 1 Place. Possible his best Match for his enire life

[@mitchelloates9406]

At the higher tiers - Tier 10 in particular - it's for the most part dead - but down at the mid and lower tiers, where it's still somewhat fun to play the game, it's still alive and well.

[@plektosgaming]

@@ikko93 If you look at the stats, this is one of only 3 or 4 ships that can still pull off brawling any more due to the immense secondary damage (160K+ dpm) and the high enough speed to dodge incoming fire. It still has a high skill floor, though, since yolo moves like we see here will rarely work. Though, it will melt enough of the enemy in the above situation to win the game for your team if done right. IMO, though, it's great, but wow every volley of HE seems to set it on fire. It's like the decks were made of wood or something... ;)

[@NoNegotiations]

They are RARE. Almost every game I go into, there's 4-5 BB sitting all the way in back, even those ships that can brawl. WG are trying to destroy the game, if they haven't done so already.

[@plektosgaming]

@@NoNegotiations The fix for this is to change the skill to also include "detected by an enemy", so that carriers can fly over and turn off the skill every time they pass by. (same with a destroyer detecting you while hiding) So it turns into the game evolves, one team mops up the center, and then the guys die the back die without making an impact on the game, barring lucky sniper shots.

[@dennisswartz4937]

I've always thought the Scharnhorst was an absolutely gorgeous ship.

[@plektosgaming]

I love it because it's outfitable 4 or 5 different ways and is always a different game every time. The perfect spot for it is in the middle of a bunch of smaller ships as long as you can dodge the first torpedo volleys. After that, they just don't get a second one off or are so crippled that they are easy for your team to finish off. I don't know why, but they don't suffer from "I'm a destroyer!" syndrome like their Gneisenau counterparts.

[@alexcunningham2037]

Especially in the B camo

[@Shorjok]

Agreed, it's the one premium ship I actually want

[@TheAlexfrom1]

Exactly, my favorite ship in wwii

[@TysoniusRex]

Scharnhorst and Gneisenau are two of my favorites. The first because it's a serious brawler and the second because I love its 15" rifles and speed. Torps are a plus, but rarely use them.

[@Dukenukem]

@@Ivy_TSG surely no small feat of everybody is blind as a bat there as DDs are so used of not spotting

[@ainumahtar]

Yeah, I was thinking exactly that. Also, sure brawling aint dead...but it sure helps if 11 out of 12 enemies have no clue what they are doing, you're top tier AND the one decent enemy player is on the other flank holding off your entire tem so you can butcher the potatos in peace ^^

[@Matthew10950]

The Scharnhorst is a close up brawler!

[@DevSolar]

Situational. It cannot take much of a beating, and against an enemy BB its guns are pretty worthless. But people should not forget that even a non-brawling BB still can take *more* punishment than a cruiser. It irritates me to no end when people sit their BBs at the back of the map "for deadeye" but don't hit anything because the enemies know how to use WASD hacks -- while the team gets slaughtered because the BBs save their HP pools until it is too late. So, brawler or not, get those BBs engaged, because you're supposed to put the backbone in your team, not trying your hand at extreme range sniping.

[@EA-History]

Nice to hear you are well again. I follow Dr. Alexander Clarke's history Channel ACnavalhistory, and he came with an explanation to how you can dine a ship being a battleship or battlecruiser. What defines a battlecruiser isn't the calibre of the guns, the armour, the size or even the speed. It generally comes down to the internal construction, the space between the frames tells a lot. The frames sits closer in a battleship. Structural frames are stronger and survivability generally better. Scharnhorst was classified by the germans as a battleship, with a battleship hull, although a Light one for its time. And with Light guns, reason is not to alarm the Western Powers too much. Hood had greater armament, same armour thickness as the Queen Elizabeth class, but with a longer hull and weaker frames.

Nice Jingles, but what happened.....hangover...? Wow, bloody good ship fight !!!

[@airplanenut89]

Jingles if I remember how Drachinifel explained it, the ideas on what a battlecruiser is are sort of swapped between the British and Germans. The British went with battleship caliber guns on a hull with less armor than a battleship, and the Germans went the opposite by putting sub-battleship caliber guns on a battleship hull. Scharnhorst does indeed have thicker armor like a battleship but uses 11in guns long after the 12in gun had been considered the minimum for a battleship, as well as at a time when the most common low end caliber was at about 14in for battleships. So by this logic, Scharnhorst is very much a German style battlecruiser. Edit: Also that Gade might have lost internet connection which still sucks but it means they might not be a scrub.

Germans themselves rated them as Battleships, and so did the US Navy. So there's that.

That's how it is - you dodge the torps and they are dead. Or don't and die. IMO, that's the real skill you need to train, and it only comes from playing a lot of destroyers and fast cruisers and getting WASD enough to pull it off. I see two types of Scahrnhorst players - the WASD h4x angling armor types and the yoloboat ones who die.
