It's not BlueStacks, just that my computer's been really slowing down recently and I've been having trouble running games. I would stream, but my computer has trouble running the game at more than 1 fps when I do so. edit: TLDR - MY COMPUTER IS 💩 AND I REALLY NEED TO UPGRADE
Ander you should check your settings if you’re on 60 or 30 fps. 60 Fps sometimes really give your computer a hard time. My computer with 6Gb ram sometimes lag when Its on 60 fps settings even without chrome running in the background.
i really don't think its bluestacks, i haven't had a single problem so far with it. It barely uses any ressources if you have a somewhat good PC (Like 5years old Hardware or newer).
Congratulations for the discord server, I'll make sure to join as soon as possible! Your channel has been growing a lot lately, I remember watching your first videos when you had a few hundreds subs. Keep up the good work, Ander!
Thanks for the tips on the bismarck build. She was a monster with my self build but she has a slow firing rate which dampened her dps. But your build is an excellent one. Thanks again for the guide.
The Certificate of Sponsorship is a great item to have for grinding as well, especially 7-2 if you're starting a PR grind, at least in my opinion. Plus, getting the additional gold the stage provides is a bonus incentive, especially for the FDG/Azuma/Drake coin requirements. I used it during my Odin grind to make running at 0 ammo less annoying than normal.
You're wholesome and all around a great dude. Keep doing awesome work! I've been playing since the game came out in the U.S, yet these videos are always helping me improve far more than I ever would have thought. Thanks for that^^
Always delivers when most needed. Now only to wait for the Big game overhaul. New better gears for every faction. Also, your "Wahrheit" was very well said.
It's a similar case for me...after I used all of my cubes in the first day of the event and didn't get her, I didn't clear any event stages for 8 days(I still do daily things in the game) then just yesterday when I can't take it anymore I said"Fuck it I'll use my last 10 cubes and just quit" And you know who my first pull is? IT'S FUCKING BISMARCK and my second pull is my FIRST U-556 and After the 2nd pull are just trashes but Instead of feeling happy I feel like the rng god is just messing with me all this time and until now it irritates me :v
Ander doing a guide on a german ship, lawful good. some other AL guide youtube channel talking about a german ship in guide, chaotic evil XDD Since I like most of the designs of german ships in Azur lane and want to use them, I am really glad for this guide. And if you want to know: the pronunciation of your german words in this vid were really good!
Funny thing is that Zeppy was going to have a sister ship irl but since the Germans didn't even finish her, you can guess what happened to that plan. Possible future PR ship?
Most of it is from my own experience playing the game, and if I ever need to double-check something, I use the Azur Lane Koumakan Wiki. azurlane.koumakan.jp/Azur_Lane_Wiki
I think folks argue more about twin 381mm usage on Bismarck, since her barrage is not good enough, to sacrifice shelling damage that twin 406/410 provides. In my opinion Biscuit has to little firepower to excuse the usage of tripple 406/381mm. It's more of a Tirpitz's gun of choice I think. P.S. I think, other than collection value "The certificate" aux on Bismarck is not worth it. Especialy, when You have someone like Alabama.
So Ander, according to this: azurlane.koumakan.jp/Bismarck, seems like the skill means that the first salvo from EACH main gun volley is guarantee crit. Not the first shot, and I also noticed in some video point out that each first salvo is always crit. So maybe you should take this into consideration
At 1:51 I'm pretty sure I said that the first salvo of EACH main gun volley will crit. I don't think I said anything about only the very first shot being the guaranteed crit.
Very informative, tho, after a couple of months, the thing about secondaries changed a bit. After watching Odin showing off, how a secondary gun Battleship is supposed to work I'd say, putting a PR CL main gun on Bismarck is a huge waste of resources. Her damage is awful with CL guns, her 90 range doesn't let her shoot anything on the front unless your vanguard is failing... ...which leads us to the funny part: the Iron Blood vanguard doesn't fail that hard to let anything in Bismarck's range. That 90 is just not enough, a double Roon vanguard supported with an AA cruiser sandwitched between them doesn't let Bismarck ever fire her secondary, except against suicide ships. Suicidde ships she has struggle to shoot down due to her heavily decreased CL secondary damage. At that point Bismarck is much better using a DD gun. Less range, but at least, it has a miniscule chance to destroy a suicide ship. About the main gun, Ander has a point in the probability that it's not worth using a barrage main gun. To think about it, awful AA and really bad barrage skills are the signatures of the Iron Blood faction - yes, including FDG's barrage which is much more bark, than bite despite being a DR rarity ship - and being a mostly salvo fleet, it's better timing to use salvo main guns for all Iron Blood battleships, since they never gain any significant DPS by using their barrage. Damn, Bismarck's CL range needs a huge buff to be at least partially useful tbh. Either at least removing the damage penalty so Bismarck could hope to do any significant damge to suicide boats or a much higher range so she could reach enemies similarly to Odin.
i really want a Oath skin for Bismark ^_^ she was the 3nd my most wanted ships from events next to Nagato and Amagi witch i have all now YEY ty SC for the re-runs
Wait. Did you actually listen to me or were you going to make this video anyway because of the event? Regardless, I am glad you made this video. Keep up the good work
HI Ander, im a newbie. Should i opened bismarck, should i upgrade her - my first SR or wait for the SR selection at 7th day login and pick another SR ? thanks
Thanks for this Guide, Bismark is since i got her in the first event my main flagship. You did very well on that first "H" in "Wahrheit", but your "R" ,what comes after, was way to soft :P it has to be pronounced HARRRT like the Iron Blood Fleet is^^
Azur lane is the best gatcha game I’ve payed. I tried others but got bored insanely fast but Azur lane is so high quality and there’s lots to do all the time
I spent 2 months on azur lane, and then lost it all cause I never linked my account to a social media account. Bismarck was one of my mains, and I just started playing again after literally a year to cool down. I already miss her
I use only two cubes and wish for her she took 6 hours to make. This is my second week playing and I was extremely lucky to get her. She’s the only iron blood I have.
Hey ander! What's your opinion on the +13 update coming for gold and rainbow guns and do you think it will kill some top tier purple equipment? Wanted to her your opinion
AzurLane Meta just recently talked about that topic i believe. When I remember correctly it will definitly effect the triple 406mm purple as best gun for dps and will make the proto triple 381mm the best choice for dps.
No love for the classic gold Quad 40mm Bofors as a good alternative to the STAAG or Hazemeyer? It's better than the purple Roomba IMO, and you can farm it right now from D3 in the Bismarck event!
Its has the second highest DPS but you wouldn't want it on a backline but rather on the front line due to its shorter range. The Golden and Purple Roomba have the largest range of all anti air guns in the game hence why he says to equip them on backline. The range allows them to kill planes before the planes inflicting damage
Bismarck barrage isn't worth sacrificing an extra critical shell on first volley. Triple 406 MK6 would suit her better because it lets her demolish bosses.
Thanks for this guide! I finally got Bisko from the rerun event! I don't really wanna use her but then again When I get Odin and Big Momma F~ That's when I wanna give her a spin! I won't spam links but because of all of AL youtubers I subbed too I started making vids for the past month~ hope you and all of our cultured comrades can give me a look and maybe give some feedback, like or dislike or even sub if anyone ever feel so inclined!
im not an expert about this game but i wanna know where to farm my account lvl faster so i can unlock higher stages so i can farm high grade gears ... can you provide a video explaining it? thanks and i guess i need to use "azur lane wiki" if i wanna know "recommended builds"...

I kid I kid. Awesome video and loads of love to ya bud!
Thanks! There's a reason why I don't cover history in my videos, and that's because I don't know much 🤣
I'll leave the history to you!
Eyyyyyy... The iron blood queen is here!!!
I know a lot about Bismarck, mostly about his maiden voyage. Some German ships were referred to in male terms due to their incredible power.
Bismarck must always carry U556s Certificate of Sponsorship. The feels demand it.
Is that Astolfo's body I just saw in introduction 😂
yes it indeed is
welcome to the server.
To sad I cant find it in the discord because there's to many chat😢. I want to save it that badly.

Ander has a sexy ass voice

I've used 8 cubes so far and I've got both sr ships so I guess rng is on my side this time
i only used 4 cubes on the second day, Guess RNGesus wanted me to get bismarck
Damn, that intro really hyped me to join your discord server
looks like my plan worked ;)
Just got her from the wishing well. Finally! Thx for your gear guide!
Thanks for the guide Ander and thankfully I was able to get Bismarck from the event banner.
RNG has not been nice to me this time. Still haven't pulled her.
It's a similar case for me...after I used all of my cubes in the first day of the event and didn't get her, I didn't clear any event stages for 8 days(I still do daily things in the game) then just yesterday when I can't take it anymore I said"Fuck it I'll use my last 10 cubes and just quit" And you know who my first pull is?

Rng was trash for me in Aurora noctis but this event I got every ship except 2
What a madlad. Putting roon and leipzig in the same fleet.
I see you're a man of culture as well
My German main vanguard fleet is roon, Leipzig and z23 :P
Ahhh the girl that doesn't want join my dock, why are you so cruel Bismarck? :(
I just spent 1 month to get a bunch of wisdom cube and I don't get Bismarck
You pronounced Wahrheit perfectly. Great job.
I literally just picked this up today and now I gotta rewatch this video and take notes lmao.
Thanks so much for this great guide!

Fortunately unlike Nagato I got this girl. Don't have U-96 yet however this was the main one I wanted anyway.
2:53 "Zeppy and her Sister" lol.

@@iamhungey12345 hopefully, we need more German carriers already
I was just looking for a Bismarck guide when your notification popped up
I spent 50 cubes and pulled 2. Guess I'm lucky/
First question, how to get Bismark if you spent most of the cubes to get Howe in the last event and still have not got Bismark until now?
pray to the rng gods / SACRIFICE YOUR WALLET TO AKASHI
Ander Akashi will enjoy that for sure where does all that money go though
Tirpitz got an augmentation. Can now be sortied with any iron blood bb/bc and gain her 30% dmg boost.
Sees Essex with astolfo body . ... What in the world was the discussion happening that made that
Wow. What a beautifull Hipper art
0:21 essex gone make me act up
Wahrheit was pretty spot on, but I'd like to note that Roon, as a word from german, is pronounced more like Rohn
Where do you get your information for videos like these? Are there online forums or do you go by intuition? Love the videos by the way
Most of it is from my own experience playing the game, and if I ever need to double-check something, I use the Azur Lane Koumakan Wiki.

Hell Yeah! U47 Out here! Straight up dunking on Bismark.
I've thrown 200 cubes and still no Bis :(
Same here, we are unworthy
Try Sandy because I've pulled her 4 times but can't get a same purple rarity dd
I've thrown 6 cubes and got her, I hope you got her soon
I have throw about more than 260 cubes and still no Bismarck ;((
I got 4 Bis from 40cubes

Over a hundred cubes but no Bismarck yet. :( Even landed a King George.
Hi.
Actually I'm a bit curious, did both white shell works on Bismarck ? Does the effect stacked?
Appreciate for the advice.
I definitely didn't Ignore "that". I literally am sure that was Astolfo's Hot Bod
I spent 2 months on azur lane, and then lost it all cause I never linked my account to a social media account.

I already miss her
I use only two cubes and wish for her she took 6 hours to make. This is my second week playing and I was extremely lucky to get her. She’s the only iron blood I have.
maybe little bit late but are there more ships that help the vanguard with longer range(odin / the new pr5 german ship) but are there more? ty~

Is your recording stuttering, or is the game loading way too much stuff with Bismarck homing in?
my computer has been pretty bad, and recently it's been getting worse. It's having trouble running the game smoothly.
Degrading hardware I guess. My 7 year computer is now shutting down on its own accord too.
Oh well.
what about the prototype triple 152mm main gun DP MK17 as a secondary gun since it improves AA for bisko
With out tripiz and graf is bismark still usable
I’m a new subscriber
I built my Bismarck as a damage dealer, and use the Triple 406mm Mk 6.
I only have the Twin 380mm Main Gun but it's cooldown is low soo i hope it works too
There's a 3rd IB carrier now thanks to the new years event
What do you prefer Ander Howe or Bismarck? I got both and I still prefer Howe
I'm probably going to use Howe more since she can be used anywhere in the backline.
4217 skin would be interesting
Me: I just got Bismarck on first cube!!!! Time to choose gears.
Also me: I don't have.........most of those.
Can you provide the build you used in your Iron Blood Vanguard? need to know how well of bad I got those 3 equipped.

He talked about his discord server like I talked about my bank account information to the scary cat with a gun.
Bismarck barrage isn't worth sacrificing an extra critical shell on first volley. Triple 406 MK6 would suit her better because it lets her demolish bosses.
