Ersatz Yorck

The Ersatz Yorck has been added to the blue water tree for the Germans with no accompanying fanfare, but it’s definitely a nice addition.

Background:

It has essentially the same batteries as the Bayern, Sachsen, and Baden, but adds G7 torpedoes. There is currently what I am sure is a bug, as the torpedoes are listed as being capable of travelling 206kph/128mph on the stat card and show as 150kph/93mph in game.

Huh, didnt get the chance to access the dev server myself but thats surpising. Not as armored as the Bayern, especially those 10" turret faces but she’ll be an excellent line up for EC.

SMS Derfflinger also got no fame. But its imho the best german 6.3 maybe even in general. If you don’t play it in uptiers, its lethal. Also looks good for a WW1 design.

I guess SMS Mackensen would have been better. With 35cm guns it would have gotten a lower BR and this one was closer to completion than the Yorck II (was just laid up imho).
