What should I expect from the Bismarck ? Is It worth unlocking?

I know. The tree needs either Tirpitz or H39. Preferably both as tech tree.

The Bismarck sucks real bad if you go enduring confrontation.
Half of my team just left after 4min because we got spawn camped by a Iowa and a russian high end ship.
Couldnt even pen any of them.
Map design yes is one of the problem.
But my biggest one is that the other big 8.7 ships are just beyond the Bismarck in overall terms.
But hey im still searching for that very “intelligent” guy that told me you could easily pen the Russian Ship in the Bismarck. (from beyond 25km)

tbh, PoW should have come years ago when Scharnhorst was dominating, the weaker firepower (relative to Hood) but excellent survivability would have been a decent counter

But the Tirpitz still has the 38cm Canons.
Only minimal changes. You can just choose in which ship you wanna get clapped.😂

I suppose the main argument for it is that it gives you something to respawn in. Currently its a 7.0 or 7.3 without a premium, not necessarily that it would be any stronger than Bismark.

ah yes USS alaska vs POW or bayern vs POW sounds balanced

shouldve only came when they added the 8.0 bracket for the mutsu ise and other stronger 7.7 ships its over kill

Back when Scharnhorst was unsinkable? Yes it would have been. When Scharnhorst was an 8.0 vs everyone elses 7.0s

it would literally be just as OP would you rather 1 unkillable OP ship or 2 ? like saying america should get montana cause IOWA looses to soyuz

only reason it was op for so long is cause gaijin doesnt care about naval

Given just how OP Scharnhorst was, Rodney or PoW would have been fairly reasonable counters for it, both came about 2 years later than they should have done

yes i guess but you would be just as OP so now you would have 2 OP ships ruining the MM ships like at 7.3 youd face stuff like north dakota which cant do anything and would just die

With ships like Amagi & Kronstadt about too, it would have been fairly reasonable.

amagi has mediocre armor and kronshdhat wasnt a fair fight really the POW should only have been added when they added the 8.0 bracket to strong otherwise

38cms aren’t the issue.

The issue is just how durable Iowa and Soyuz are in comparison.

Which russian ship? Kronshtadt can be nuked by Scharnhorst at 32km. Pr23 I’m not so sure can even be penetrated at 25km by Bismarck.

If you mean the Tirpitz that would most likely be a 8.3 like the Bismarck.
Just like with the Yamato and Musashi.
It would be nice if the other ships (Iowa and that russian thing) get a little higher BR.
Lets be real in a 1v1 the Bismarck is not gonna do much.
But we can only dream because the snail already got its money out of naval.
So thats it for another year.

I think we might see subs in the Oct/Nov update

He meant the Souyuz.
Told me that the ship is absolutely underpowered and some other stuff while he had 6 kills and 0 deaths in that thing in that match.
Yea the other ships no problem those two are the big problem in my opinion.
They take the fun out of the entire gamemode for me if I see one on the horizon.

His name UniqueScorpions by chance?

Might be.
It does ring a bell.
Why?

The dude has this thing called severe skill issue and claims Scharnhorst is op because he can’t kill it with the Pr23 lol.
