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.

Perfect time to make it 8.0 (and also uncap the aircraft BR difference)! :D

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)

I saw in the past a post that made an AMAZING BR Setup, and I would love if Gaijin actually followed it because it is really great.

Tbh, i’d love to have missile boats, would give nations like israels that didnt have battleships or similar ships a proper high tier naval lineup

Me too man.

5.7 keeps you away from the cancerous thing, and I’m loving HMS Kent and Belfast.
