15Inch scarnhorst refit copy incase it fails

It feels rather unbalanced for .3 higher you can just Pay for a better boat Gneisenau getting 15inch guns so i thin to solve the problem both Gneisenau and Scharnhorst where intended to get refitted with bigger guns during construction as it was whole class thing but because she was sunk she didn’t get the opportunity too. this wouldnt really affect the sales of the premium as it is Gneisenau the newest ship in her class it seems a more balanced option for the class. Gneisenau is only .3 higher too which means they face off alot which gives the Gneisenau a huge advantage as the 38CMs can do killing damage to scarnhorst if aimed right while the 28CM cant as its low pen prevents it and its reload doesnt help that much as spam cant solve anything. just for fair play and a what if Scharnhorst didnt sink it would also raise them to equal br balancing the game

Nah

Scharn is not Gneis, Gneis is not Scharn.

Germany ordered the 38cm guns for Gneis and carried out work until a stop order was issued but never even got to the starting line with Scharn.

yeah cause she sank before hand it was planned during construction

It had been originally planned to regun the Scharnhorst class with 38 cm guns and then use the surplus 28 cm turrets to arm the first three of a new generation of Panzerschiffes, the “Kreuzer P” class. Additional guns and mountings were to be built to arm additional units of this class. However, all of these plans were abandoned at the start of the war.

scarnhorst class refers to both boats

So let me get this straight you want to take an actually completed ship and turn it into a what if

i dont think paying for 80 dollar ship should give you a advatange against the tech tree yes for only a .3 BR raise you get bismarck guns really op if you ask me

Have you maybe thought taking one of the most iconic ships of ww2 and turning it into a fantasy might not be such a good idea

so this is a game bruh it does not matter all russias biggest boats are fake

Doesn’t mean everyone elses has to be

again gnisenau is same fanatasy a op one at thats literally just P2W

Gnesinaus conversion actually did begin, there are pictures of her in dock proving this

no not really she had her guns removed thats where it ends added to be used as costal batterys she was critically damaged at the time

So, the work did begin then, since removing the old turrets is work

yeah and she was used as a blockade immediately after

Yet you just said yourself the work did begin

work to ready her for a blockade duty

That was only done after the work to give her the 15 inch guns was suspended

those 15Inch guns where already in costal batterys by then

Image isnt loading properly but the key difference between gnesinau and scharnhorst is one had the work begun for the conversion and the other didn’t, hence why they are as they are in game, if gnesinau hadn’t had the work at least started she would’ve been a scharnhorst copy

and then we can give both Scharnhorst and Genisenau IRL reload rates of 70 seconds.
