Ahh, now I know what the German high command meant by the "Schlieffen Plan"! It was about using a battleship to outflank the French army! There must've been a river with a really deep channel that went right through the German/French border. BTW, it's not that they lopped off a little of the barrels to reduce the caliber. Warship gun "caliber" was a ratio of shell diameter to barrel length. So by boring out the barrels to increase the shell diameter, it also changed the shell to barrel length ratio.
Finally ground my way up the German BC line up to the Schlieffen - I absolutely loved the Rupprecht, and the first few games with the Schlieffen suggest I’ll enjoy this one as well. A secondary + concealment definitely seems to work best for me so far. The 150mm angles do mean you have to show a bit more flank at times than you’d like, but it is a very opportunistic ship to play - the burst damage you can do with it is phenomenal, but ideally you want to stay unspotted until you can get close enough to maximise its effect. I’ve already brawled ships like the Colombo and Mecklenburg, and while the latter was a bit closer the CC just melted from the sheer volume of mains, secondaries and torpedos raining damage on him. One-on-one the Schlieffen is incredibly dangerous, but it is true that there are games where you have to be a bit more cautious and stay back, or stay behind islands to avoid long range snipers. As for the German battlecruiser line more broadly, the Mackensen, Heinrich, Rupprecht and Schlieffen are all phenomenal ships that I’ve enjoyed a lot. The less said about the Zieten the better.
I'm at Mackensen on my personal account. I've got the PeF, otherwise I'd keep her around as a nice T6 as well. Zieten... May have to spend some free XP. As Danny Glover said, I'm too old for this s**t
Yep I'm going for it that looks absolutely fun especially with the torpedoes if you manage to surprise a Battleship that are not aware this will be a monster against them especially against casual players ;)
Absolutely. Over time, people will start realising that these things have torps, but it'll still be a surprise for many. I just wish the auto-secondaries would be a tad more accurate, they really only work against targets on a parallel course, but at range can manage to completely miss even a Yamato.
Personally I prefer the improve rudder instead of the concealment build I think it has more utility through the battle I helps you to deal with incoming torpedos and if you are skilled enough you can actually dodge Montana, Ohio and Vermont salvos since american shells have significantly more travel time than other nations shells. I see your point with the concealment built but in tier X battles it doesn't help you a lot whenever you are playing against carriers. PD: I would love if you could take a look at my comment on your bot video early this week :)
Terry has done it again. (I gave a like) Yes, a rival for my Großer Kurfürst. Im putting Franz Von Hipper on this thing, once I get it. I Already removed him from Tirpitz. Tirpitz sucks.
Very nice video i think pa 1 is making sense with this ship cause it can be trollish and not every time this ship can push otherthen that nice informative video
Yes, it does - the further you shoot, the larger the target ellipsis. But it's not uniform, different ships have different precision, and modules, skills and camos can reduce the size further. Also, sigma ratings are different for distribution inside the ellipsis.
I almost wonder if you had turned on the secondary overload while being hunted by the Jutland if the auto secondaries would have been able to lock onto and fire upon the Jutland?
To answer the question in the description, yes! because its german and has secondarys. And did you do something with your voice? It sounds like your ill or something
@@FunandGameswithTerry i think this ship have a lot work to do, so OP if player have a good position no one can touch them and the 2nd guns range so wrong, what is your opinion?
They're both good choices. Generalist can help against CVs or HE spammers, but I have to admit I find myself increasingly facing DDs in high-tier games without cruiser support.
@@FunandGameswithTerry I wholeheartedly agreed that the minotaur is excellent, she is one of my most favorite ships and most played in the game, too! 👍😁 But perhaps 11 might be reserved for the conde, if that ship ever made it into wowsb 😅 Cheers, Terry! Have a nice day for you and your family!

If they had gotten that thing into secondary range, the war would have gone pretty differently... Good that they never built it.

The Schlieffen plan was in World War 1. The Maginot line was built between the wars. It didn't exist during the first war.
Yep, caught myself just after I said it 🤣

Finally after two days of extreme respawn playing with the Print Rupprecht I have my first Tier X ship and bought the Schlieffen today!!

I've got von Hipper on the GK, so he's not going anywhere, but yes, he's a good candidate for it.
Well, I finally got Schlieffen. I put the commander of the line on Schlieffen. I didn't put Hipper on her.

I sometimes wonder if range has more to do with accuracy. That range moves accuracy rings (close, medium, long)
Yes, it does - the further you shoot, the larger the target ellipsis. But it's not uniform, different ships have different precision, and modules, skills and camos can reduce the size further. Also, sigma ratings are different for distribution inside the ellipsis.

Nice job bro👍
Great video and usefull 👍

And did you do something with your voice? It sounds like your ill or something
No, I was recording in a different location than usual, larger room.
Oh this is going to be fun
Kinda feels like a Hindenburg on steroids, exept it's so massive you attract more shells than a beach before an american landing
OP ship XD, but i can't find it in tech tree, can you make a compare with kremlin !
The German battlecruiser line isn't out yet, that's why you can't see it in the tech tree.
Very different ship from Kremlin, it's secondary focused.

bote go brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Nice ship
I probably would have chosen the sonar skill instead of generalist. Generalist Sounds kinda meh to me
They're both good choices. Generalist can help against CVs or HE spammers, but I have to admit I find myself increasingly facing DDs in high-tier games without cruiser support.
is this German battle cruisers released?
Yes, she's the T10 of the battlecruiser line. Goes all the way in parallel to the old BB line.
I can't find this ship on Asian server?
The line is not officially out yet, they were just in preview. Should be there in a month or two.
@@FunandGameswithTerry oh crap i'm on the way to kremlin tier 8 now :(
So not so op as pc?
I haven't played PC, but I would say it's a balanced line.
I mean here 😁
On a scale of 1-10 how good is the mino
Yes
10+
11
