Should I preorder the Gneisenau or not? What do you think? What reload rate does it have on testserver?

you get virtually nothing worthwhile for preordering, might as well wait until after the patch drops and see what the MM looks like before you blow 80$/€ on it

Thats true. Better wait for the final BR and whether the three top dogs (Soyuz omg, Yamato and Iowa) get a high enough BR to seperate them from the rest. Would have been better if Gajin waited some patch cycles to introduce the super BBs. To let other BBs shine first.
Same as Bismark currently but should be 60 to 70 seconds

Has anyone tried Gneisenau on the Dev server? If so, how is she?
Am on the fence on buying Gneisenau too…need a grinder for the last rank in German TT, but its a lot of money…how does it fare on the dev server ?
Theoretically the upgunned Gneisenau could be better than Bismarck, thx to the armor layout. We have to wait how it turns out @ live.

Reload if fixed to reality would hold it back significantly.

Right now RoF is high as Bismarck’s, isn’t it? You have one turret less, but for this you enjoy the sophisticated armor layout of the Scharnhorst class.

Yea currently it’s the same as Bismarcks I don’t really expect that to change but we will have to see. Even if I or someone else bug reports it to 70 seconds gaijin may simply ignore it. If they say it’s a balance decision then people will start asking questions about the balance of the US standards and Roma so their only option is to ignore it.
For now I’d enjoy it and I personally cannot see the report being resolved any time soon
In what areas is Gneisenau (and Scharnhorst) armor better than Bismarck’?
Hey everyone, so I was test driving the Gneisenau in the dev server, and I was wondering why it had such a short reload (roughly 30 seconds I don’t quite remember), I was wondering this because I thought it would have had a much longer reload? I remember reading something about how it wouldn’t have had any powered reloading so it’s reload would be 60 - 70 seconds. Can someone explain to me? Has this already been changed? Or am I just being silly?

Rileyy3437 is far better read than I about this topic, and they’ll probably correct me. But I believe she is using the exact same mounts as the Bismark at the moment, which does have the powered loading, which she shouldn’t have.
This may be changed as to be slower later to be consistent with her plans, which didn’t included a powered loading system, as Gaijin likes to use historical loading rates for naval, but doesn’t always for some reason (see Rodney), so who really knows.

Thank you, I appreciate that, if they don’t change it then I think my pre-order was an amazing choice
It should have the slower reload. The mountings would have been too heavy for the ship if she had had power-assisted loading.
I would have reported it, but I’m looking for the materials I need to do that. I am also relatively busy at the moment so its a bit of a double whammy.
Gaijin could also just ignore it, or make an exception, who knows.
I also don’t see the point in nerfing her if she’s balanced. I’m all for historicism but not at the cost of gameplay. Its only when you have vessels like Amagi and Scharnhorst pre-nerf etc at 7.0 where they simply cannot be challenged that I believe you have to nerf something if gaijin refused to decompress.

What a crazy out of season April Fool’s joke.
Lol. Lmao even.
Thank you, its a wee bit silly they added it at a 30 second reload isnt it? I mean this information is more or less readily available no?

You can read it on the go-to naval weapons site Germany 38 cm (14.96") SK C/34 - NavWeaps
Now it’s not like navyweps hasn’t been wrong before but it’s very rare and this is pretty common sense. In the turret diagrams I’ve seen so far there’s no power assistance of significant value. I’ll admit it’s quite hard to prove because i haven’t found an RoF document yet.
