I’m all for fixing it. In the meantime, I will be using it to finish the upcoming naval event stages. About 8 (maybe fewer) games in a Scharnhorst will get you the 45,000 points you need for the 2 days of the event stage. It makes finishing the naval events so much easier.

Or if nothing else, its counters need to be unnerfed.
Hood and Rodney for example should be able to punish it hard, but too many rounds miss (or at least miss from the exhaust vent sized spot you need to aim for) from the shell dispersal nerfs to do meaningful, reliable damage

The Hood and the Mutsu are the only ships I have a decent chance of going one on one with a Scharnhorst and feeling like I can win.

Yep, sometimes Scharnhorst pops instantly, others Im laying salvo after salvo into her and doing absolutely nothing

Face it twice in my US 6.0 cruiser lineup today, cant do anything against it at all

Yeah, though that isnt necessarily a Scharnhorst issue but rather a Cruiser vs 7.0 BB issue. I doubt there is much you could do against an Amagi, Hood, etc other than be annoying. I quite enjoy making USS Des Moines explode on my first salvo

Add Barham to that list as well…shots going all over the place…it actually felt better with less crew skills…

Yeah, Hood, Renown, Repulse, Barham, Warspite, Royal Soveriegn, all have the exact same guns. So all equally affected.

Those ships should really be 7.3 at least.
They absolutely dominate

Yeah… if not 7.7/8.0. Allow a little more space for Cruisers as well.

Indeed, i love the Cleveland and Helena, but in 8.5/10 games you face battleships that you cant kill that nukes you instantly.

Hopefully the new mechanic which is being introduced will finally put the dammed thing to bed.
From devserver testing thread, it seems it will make Scharn even stronger

sooner we get submarines, the better, scharnhorst is just too unkillable.

Honestly, 8.0 would be reserved for the big boys.
Sch is not a big boy, and he will slap every big battleship (Iowa, Yamato) like nothing because of how the turtleback scheme is…
10.0 seems like a better option :)
More time period accurate (Refitted Iowa)
