Should I have the track locked on target option on? On one hand, it makes aiming easier, on the other it likes to gently caress up and switch to another target right when I'm getting ready to fire.

Destroyers are fun when you get to sneak up to an enemy and dart out from behind an island, dump your load, then smoke and cackle as you swim away. And then their friends chase you through the smoke still firing at your team, but they don't bother with defensive maneuvers because I'm in smoke so I don't need to avoid going in a straight line easy to torpedo.

Scharnhorst would be rigged as gently caress if it didn't have a bit of a scattergun effect, the rudder turn time makes it actually possible to dodge a lot of fire, especially floaty cruiser shells.

Apart from that I like the ship. It's got fast shell/rudder/turret turn speed and good belt armour that makes up for lacking big punches. I'm now playing it like an agile but weaker version of Iowa and it's working good despite only doing cruiser-like average damage. Just don't head on because 25 mm bow/rear armour will be overmatched by any tier7+ bb (except Scharnhorst) Aesis fucked around with this message at 01:49 on Aug 17, 2016 |

I was on the fence about the Schotgun, but I just got it as a gift anyway! Very first game:  That sinking Colorado that you can see in front of me was about to go down the channel when I appeared around the corner. His guns were all pointed in the other direction so he didn't even fire a shot before my torps hit. SURPRISE MOTHERFUCKER! Second game:  A silly Nagato tried to charge me down. So many battleship drivers don't realize this ship has torpedoes.

Scharnhorst torp is bit weak though. I don't expect devastating strike against battleships but even cruisers sometimes manage to survive full 3 hits.

Even the Tirpitz torps won't usually finish a BB off unless they were already hurting. The guns turn and reload fast enough (on both Tirp and Scharn) that chewing through the last of their HP isn't very hard. Especially if you managed to get them flooding and/or burning. On both of those games I posted, I had done ~25k damage with my guns on those BBs before my torps took off the last 20k or so. Godlessdonut fucked around with this message at 02:05 on Aug 17, 2016 |

If you aren't detected because of smoke, will secondaries fire on you? I tend to rush my torps once I start getting hit by secondaries in my DDs. It's really weird being in relatively close line of sight to a ship and knowing I'm not spotted, I tend to think I'm spotted much farther out than I am.

Picked up the Scharnhorst today and while I'm not a consistently great player, I have the odd great game. Secondaries on this thing are beastly. It's secondary specced, but w/out the Tier V Captain skill.

I loving love my shotgunhorst. Probably the best reason and time to come back to the game more. I logged in out of boredom, saw it was for sale, said "eh, gently caress it" and haven't even looked back. That guys video is accurate as gently caress.

Secondaries won't fire on you unless you're spotted. Though their shell velocity tends to be a little low, so if you get into smoke it's not unusual to have a few of them hit you that were fired while you were spotted.

In between my Scharn games, I had a 3200xp Sims game where I got Arsonist from setting one on fire 6 times.

Kinda hard to decide on Scharnhorst upgrades tbh. Against CV you really want max AA distance, but secondary and dispersion upgrades are nice too. As for 4th slot, steering reduces rudder shift by 3 seconds but it also needs burn time reduction because it's covered in oil.

Aesis posted:Kinda hard to decide on Scharnhorst upgrades tbh. Yup, atsf video on the tirpitz kind of covers that as well. Cheeky is the aa spec while manly is the secondary build. His video on the scharn pretty much suggests that you follow the same captain and ship modules for both. I'm going secondary spec because I don't really encounter cv as much.

Wrong Minotaur. Like I said, one Minotaur was built, and was basically an improved version of the Ceylon, which was a Fiji that traded main turret X for more AA. The tier X Minotaur was a 15,000t design that was ordered but cancelled at the end of the war, which I think should have 4 triple mounts of 6" guns with Des Moines style power ramming/autoloading in DP turrets, but with ordinary muzzle velocity.
