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
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
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…
