If you want to see the ship in action, here is a replay of one of my games: A lot of your damage will come from your secondaries, and this damage is poorly rewarded in terms of XP. There is just one last thing to keep in mind and it’s the XP gain. Generally speaking, the Schlieffen requires a slightly more subtle playstyle as she heavily relies on her speed and concealment to get close and get your sweet secondaries to work.Īs I said though, you really need to be careful when going in close combat because while she can hold her ground against one or two ships, more than that can get you killed relatively quickly depending on which ships we are talking about.Īnother great gimmick of the German battlecruisers is the Fast Damage Control Team which fits well with the… I guess you can call it a guerilla kind of playstyle? From the start, she is FAR more fragile with her combined low HP pool and thinner armor protection. The Schlieffen is fairly different to the Grosser Kurfürst in terms of playstyle. Torpedo spotting range: 4.0 km Ship spotting range: 6.0 km

+100% to experience earned in the battle.

-50% to the cost of ship’s post-battle service.

+4% to maximum dispersion of shells fired by the enemy at your ship.

The permanent camouflage of the Schlieffen provides the classic bonuses for tier X ships:

The casemate-mounted secondaries are fairly big weak spots on the hull.Great secondaries with improved dispersion and long firing range.She gets battlecruiser dispersion on her main battery, Massachusetts dispersion on her secondary battery, her 4th turret can turn at 360° and she gets a German Hydroacoustic Search as well as the same Damage Control Party as Soviet Battleships. In World of Warships, we are getting a hypothetic modernized GK 5041 with a revised superstructure, stronger secondary armament, anti-air and also the addition of deck-mounted torpedo launchers. If you want, you can learn a bit more about those late World War I battlecruiser designs here. Just like the rest of the previous German battlecruiser designs, this one was canceled at the end of World War I.

Out of all the known designs, this was the biggest, armed with eight 420 mm guns in four twin turrets in an AB XY configuration and displacing no less than 50 000 tons at standard displacement. Sitting at the end of the new German battlecruiser line, the Schlieffen is based on the Schnelle Großekampfschiffe GK 5041. Now the big question is if it’s worth grinding this line. With update 0.10.9, the entire new German battlecruisers will be available.
