Personally, I really love this thing. Doesn’t work all the time, burn when it does, it mows them down like a battering ram!
It's not my favorite but I love the fact that it's the opposite of the trend. Its NOT another bow tanking sniper. I love the fact that it's meant to give the bird to all conventional thoughts on how to play a battleship
A gneisenau just solo killed my mutsu、another half health gneisenau ans a destroyer. Without using torp
@@thelaborpeasant I love my tirpitz its a lot like this one
I absolutely love the Gneisenau, i'm always playing like a sniper in the American battleships but that don't work in the Gneisenau so i play her like a brawler and an ambush predator. She's one of the fastest at her tier and her acceleration is great so closing in on your enemies is not a problem at all, once you're close you can absolutely blast the enemy with the guns and the torps. I kid you not she is such a troll, i citadelled an Iowa through the bow while aiming at a ship behind the Iowa😂 That's ridiculous😂 I absolutely love her, you'd think that once you get to know the ship your shooting becomes better but oh boy that's never going to happen, there's only one way to hit people with the Gneisenau, get close! real close!😂 She is an absolute unit though, fast, decent maneuverability, very good armor and a lot of health.
Battleships are a bit of a tough fight, and Destroyers are even worse, but cruisers? Cruisers are no match! They can outrun you but if you're a smart captain you can anticipate their movement and mess them up real good!
So true
I'm using Hipper with Cilliax and Jujard to increase my shells damage, figured that the shells that do hit need to hit hard. Even with Gyrating Drillbits using a speed flag, Gnisenau pushes 30kts. Plenty fast to influence the flow of battle. Going to try Ciliax also to see if it increases my survivability, but so far, love it.
Gniesenau is he not a she
@@IPeakedAt15 true Germans called there ships masculine
@Alpha I litterally detroyed a Dunkerque with my Bayern yesterday
This ship is one of my favorite ships in the game and has been for a very long time, and I run a full dispersion build lol! Also worth note, the Sharnhorst is my most played ship... That being said, I'm usually in a platoon, and 2 of these bad boys can wreck!
German battleships generally underperform in Legends because secondaries are so ineffective.
Agreed they need to do somthing about it
No longer pog
One thing i love about gneisenau is that it's almost citadel proof
Spartan only the Bismarck was referred to by male suffix.
Also the German naval guns were the most accurate in the world
But its inaccurate af in legends i personally like the ship tho
I mean when i play german its usually accurate
@@infinitespiral4151 at what distances?
@@marseldagistani1989 15.4m
@@infinitespiral4151 I usually fire me guns a 12.3 km
I love this ship in fact I just finished the grind to the Bismarck.I had hipper as my commander and had a full dispersion build and fell in love with it I save the ship even when I got the Bismarck.You should try a full dispersion build keep your distance and toward the middle or end of the match take the ship and go hunting for the last enemy ships and bow tank everything.Use your torps as a deterrent to charging ships and have Andrew Cunningham and Charles Madden as your inspirations believe me the ship is way better if you do all of this
Totally agree, Spartan is off the mark with this one. It can still brawl with your mentioned build and is more accurate. Yes you lose the heals but nose on slightly angled she is tough. I never had an issue with it before the armour update. It was way better than the Bismarck, not quite as good as the scharnhorst but could hold its own.
Just unlocked this war machine. Always loved the brawler type feeling of the T4 and T5 Germans... so this should be a fun one to add torps to the mix. Thanks for the video and tips!
There is one mistake in World Of Warships and that is that they made the ship Gneisenau with 3x2 instead of 3x3 like Scharnhorst because Scharnhorst and Gneisenau are the same ships and that is why they are called brother and sister
Both were originally armed with 9 x 11 inch guns but with the intention to up-arm them to 6 x 15 inch guns once they became available, it didn't happen because the war got in the way. This is the "up-arming program" referred to in the comment. The Gneisenau in WOW is effectively the "what if" version if the up-arming had gone ahead as planned.
I like this ship. I make it work and all. It's also very pretty visually.
She's very pretty indeed, she looks like a monster, but a beautiful one, in her own way.
The Iowa is a beautiful ship, sleek and fast looking, but the Gneisenau and the other high tier German battleships just have a kind of beauty that no other ship has.
wait, what about your sister Bismarck?
Once played Grosser Kurfurst against Gneisenau. At the first minutes i destroyed his two front main turrets , and not finished him. After couple of minutes i saw my opponent moving with his only turret towords me (by reversing). That was one of most funniest things i had seen.
Yup horizontal armor is essentially deck armor (its laying flat, aligned horizontally)... anyways, you're also right about the playstyle, really favors a SUPER aggressive captain. But even then it's really feast or famine
The main thing you need to know about German ships is inside of about 10km its is nearly impossible to citadel a German ship. You need severe plunging damage for it to happen. So is the way of the turtle back citadel.
Oh and the belt armor is enough to bounce 16inch guns. So bait people into shooting your side.
15inch guns aren’t by no means modest, the guns on the real ship were 11inch like Graf Spee. The 15inch guns were a planned refit
Before playing my first German BB I thought the Japanese had bad dispersion. I sear either every German gunnery officer is drunk or they forgot to rifle their barrels.
Also for German bbs it’s not exactly citadel heaven it’s just since there’s so much armor u mostly get pens u can get the same amount of damage with a regular salvo that u get with a citadel
Of the two Scharnhorst class battleships, which do you prefer?
People complain about accuracy with the g wagon, it’s not supposed to be played bitch style. It’s got good secondary’s, 15 inch guns, torps and good armor, get close and slug the shit outta people.
Horizontal armor is deck armor, yes. Gneisenau's vertical (side) armor was great.
I take steering gear mod instead of acceleration. Find it's quick enough already and becomes much more agile, for torps and swinging rear gun round.
Actually enjoy playing it, but accuracy really isn't great. 😁
I used to think the same thing, but after some good testing in my Normandie and PE Fredrich, I find that the acceleration boost has a signifigant effect on turn radius as well. I need to test this further in Gneisenau, but so far, the results seem to speak for themselves.
That's my most played ship. Iove it👌
the hood is indestructible I can't destroy it destroyes me every time
Nice video Spartan, I Love the Gneisenau, also (if you dont mind me knowing better, I'm german) It is pronounced GneiseNOW(Gneisenau)
Thx m8 i have struggked to try pronounce it
Bra u fake German not all Germans got the angry accent
@@gamestertime598 Some do but others dont and that's how to pronounce the Name of Schlachtschiff Gneisenau, now I dont know if u insulted me or Not but dont do it again
I rather pronounce ot Gneisen ow(like hurtinh yourself lol)
@@lustvolleswolfchen7784 Ha, wie geil LOL
Nice video spartan, though for your captain build I would highly recommend using the secondary range inspiration and the main gun accuracy inspiration to help with the main guns being extremely unreliable, I forgot to British captains name but the skill is called concentrated devastation.
Alternatively you could use hipper as the main captain and use a full dispersion reduction build, the 380mm guns are a lot better in accuracy and scharnhorst becomes a serious nightmare with that build.
Andrew Cunningham with that passive.
They are referring to the deck armor and I suggest a HE built with the main guns that way when you at range you can set fires then switch to ap when closer
I use Hipper with Ciliax and Jujard as inspirations. Going to max out my battleship commanders along with Sims to my battleship's absolutely lethal. Hipper adds so much accuracy to German ships he's a must for hitting at range. Going to try Ciliax though, you have me intrigued.
Scharnhorst is a great ship. 1shots cruisers and has incredibly good armour.
I love my “ sneeze boat”. I am still surprised that others don’t realize I have torps🤷♂️
Had my best games in this beast. Otto captain, Hipper and AL Scharnhorst is what I am running and it’s a bit better getting rounds on target.
Secondaries are pretty solid to me. Close quarters expert medals for days in this.
Days I hate it, days I love it.
Is it just me, or did the ship irl have triple barrel turrets, if so, why not add them?
Not sure about that
That was the sister ship sharnhorst
Nidel Carter I know the sharnhorst had them, but if you have seen the old navy footage of Gneisenau it also had the triple barrel setting
@@nidelcarter3568 both scharnhorst and Gneisenau had 3x3 turret layout and it stayed that way for both the ships careers, the refut for gneisenau never took place and so the 3x2 turret layout were never placed
Thanks Spartan for doing a meet the g wagon 😀
You need to be a tad more aggressive though & not do 3 point turns lol just select full speed, lube up the bow & ram it in deep
I think he played it pretty damn aggressive, especially considering that his early videos showed him backing up half the match in his BBs 😂
@@MrBadger2736 lmao yeah I'll give him that he managed to find a forward gear 😀😋🤣
Curious how secondaries on germans are now after the recent buff.
Fantastic
@@shockwave6213 The Emperor protects
Someone in my Facebook group played with you in that ship I was like wonder when the meet the ship will come out and...bam
It's my next ship too try, great vid and it's the best video as you got blown up lol lol not many times do I see that thanks Spartan I must put a vid up of me for your opinions on my warshiping, you probably tell me you be better in a rowing boat lol
JAYICEMAN Need For Speed 2015 2018 Actually, Spartan often shows his F-k ups in order to educate and entertain us! I still don’t think I will ever be able to play BBs as well as him though!
@@richarddoig1865 I know been following for awhile now
Do you believe Spartan, that nowadays I got rng to dev strike 3/4 health Fiji with 2 turrets at 10 km and dev strike full health Pensacola with 3 turrets at same distance? :)
I do like the ship. I play Scharnhorst too.
My favorite ship in the game but probably because I started out with Japanese and German battleships so I’m was just used to the dispersion
i love german battleships i seem to get the most citadels in them then any other country
@ I don't have a life I’m the same way
I love the German battleships the Scharnhorst is my favorite
Hey spartan what do you think of the Scharnhorst, personally it’s my favorite ship and it makes money really good it’s my most played and I call it old Tried and trusty I like mostly because of super fast turret traverses speed and it’s super Tankinis
He's Been My Most Played Ship On STANDARD 2019 - 2020 😃. But Ever Since I Got The TIRPITZ & Now He's My Most Played Ship 😃. I'm Giving My SCHARNHORST A Well Deserved Break 😃
I love this ship. I use Hipper for better accuracy. Loosing range with brawler isn’t worth it in my opinion. Use speed to cap and angle away or brawl. Now that they buffed the secondaries it’s really nice.
G'day Spartan. Firstly, I love your content. Secondly, and the main reason I've chosen to comment on this video (I rarely comment on vids) is that I have heard you mention a few times that German ships are referred to with a male pronoun. This is incorrect with the exception of the Bismarck. Bismark's Captain Lindeman once stated that such a powerful ship must be a "he". The crew liked the sentiment and it stuck. Apparently Hitler didn't like it to begin with but after reading what Lindeman said in his speech he allowed the male pronoun to stand. So it was a one off.
Keep up the great work, I'm immensely enjoying your vids
I think you kinda screwed up not taking the secondary booster over the plane. With the booster, you probably could have ripped apart that Leander about 2/3rds into the match.
The real Gneisenau had 3-gun main turrets. Why not this model?
I’ve been using the Gneisenau but historically she had 9, 28” guns and not 6 as shown in the game. Why the difference??
If you want to re-fall in love with her, just do an AI battle, go all ahead full right up the middle, and be a pure tank. Love just watching my secondaries go crazy pummeling DD’s and lighting everything a’blaze while smashing BB’s and torping cruisers. After a few of those I’ll go into standard battles and tear up, she’s a blast.
When will we get the meet the kirov that ship is fantastic
What battleship is worth getting first? Gneisenau or Colorado ???
Im ready for the Vladivostok! I have all the xp earned i just need it to be released
Ahh my man using my build haha. Otto Ciliax is the way to go
Wasn't a big fan of this ship at first but I kinda like it now. Still won't be using that much lol. Also it gets some of the most random citadels I've ever seen XD
Hen i use this ship i really got to either stay in a group of charge for kills when u have the propulsion upgrade (jeez i hope i spelled that right) you can get going fast usually i target destroyers that are near land and when i get to close t a battleship i fire my torps in advance so they see and speed up then i turn and fire my other torps along with my guns to shoot i usually die while preforming this maneuver but usually a few seconds after they die to my torps as well
GG. G’day Gneisenau. Peas love and Johnno Bloke.
I got my 2nd Kraken Unleashed with this ship the other day
I love this ship so much
Give this ship a chance with a full dispersion build. It might surprise you if you keep your shots under 15k. Dont take the lvl 4 skill to up range on commander hipper take the improved damage control you dont need the extra range. This results might surprise you
So one game i was Playing in the Genisenau and near the end of the game i was in the game chat with a really chill British lad he was playing in a destroyer and almost killed a Bayern he rammed the Bayern but it still survived, our teammate finished him off and it was a Nagato, two destroyers and a cruiser left I made a stupid choice but it worked out, I blizkriged it killed the Nagato and heavily damaged all the other ships around me, we had cap advantage and ship advantage I lost almost all of my HP but the round ended before the destroyers and cruiser could finish me off with HE it was a great game (it was my first few games in the Genisenau) maybe next time I'll tell you how I helped my team by distracting the Lyon and another HE spamming battleship so they could finish them both off.
I donno if the Germans got buffed really hard, but I absolutely love the Gneisenau. Ever since I switched from a secondary build to aiming systems ect. it feels wonderful. Not a sniper, but Tier for Tier it works better than the Bismarck 100%
8:18 As a German myself I concur. We Love Our Male ships. lol
She is my favorite ship in the game 😍
How many times did you say "unfortunately" hahahhaha
Literally just got this ship... Tank build it is lol
This ship is actually tier 7 idk why it says tier 6 on the WoW he’s using but on mine it’s tier 7
This is legends, the console version of the game where there are only 7 tiers
@@joshmovingofficial ah ok
This is the strongest German battleship in the game. Better than Bismarck in terms of speed, accuracy, shifting time, reload time and acceleration time. 👍
We have not been waiting lol just kidding I played against you in my terpitz..I was hitting you pretty well
I swear I've played some games with you
@@xeboi11 probably I play a lot i curse like literally a sailor 😂
I LOVE THE GERMANS FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE 😃. I GOT MY 2ND CONFEDERATE MEDAL IN MY GNEISENAU 😃
You need to fire one shot at a time rather than a full salvo
Yes. Spartan capt. The gneisenau
Is this warship good because i am going to buy it
I must have the luck of the Irish because I have really great success with the G. Hipper R 16 L 1 Cunningham and Jaujard for inspirations
Me love me some German BB hehe. M1infantry "Battered Bayern of Two Brothers" lol.
Use it as a cruiser / destroyer hunter
There seem to be a lot of folks who love this ship! I remember it as extremely inaccurate, and undergunned. Honestly, the only thing I liked was the torps. Guess I have to go back and play her some more, but boy, I was thrilled to be out of this ship. I like the Sharnhorst, and the Tirpitz , but really disliked this ship and the Bismarck.
He's right, they are a lot faster than most battleships. even jean bart
This ship us actually pretty fun I play it like a cursier ik not the best thing to do but they don't expect it and I just wipe them
In the pc version before all the crap we got now I would use the German ships as brawlers. In legends I think I can do that still. :) Also for the Gneisenau I use the Toros unless I need too.
I had this once, I used the wrong strategy playing this thing
Only things that matter in this ship is charge!, ready your guns an fire!, torpedoes fire wait wth!!!!!! 😳😳😳
Lol
Spartan will you be going down the Russian tech tree?
I have made it to the 4th russian crusier, and I gotta say: the first 3 cruiseres was terrible, or i was bad with them. Anyway i like the russian cruisers... As long as its tier 4 to 7
Mr Larsen have u gotten to the Kirov yet it’s amazing not as good as the budyonny but good
@@gamestertime598 yeah i got it, and I love it. I can imagine the Budyonny being better but I am only half way done with Kirov. I mean the russian cruisers have an amazing dispersion. But I am jealous if you already have the Budyonny
Give him time. He will. It's guaranteed.
@@mrlarsen1781 the thing about the kirov is it has the biggest guns out of the russian cruisers until tier 10 everything else is 152 mm
True I don't have any luck in the German Battleships! They are soo inaccurate!
I'm going to have to try Ciliax because my dispersion build just doesn't help. And when my shells actually hit it's an overpen..
I absolutely hate the Gneisenau.
Scharnhorst is 10x better.
Ryan Laprade Same! I felt like I got out on parole the day I got out of that ship. Then I was disappointed by the Bismarck. Thank god for Tirpitz!
You had your heal too
Man, most of the time you are aiming was to high. You could have used heal at the end instead of torping. But damn, you sure tanked about 2 mil. Dmg 😁 but i have to agree with you. The guns are crap....
My best Round with the Gneisenau was 160 damage
7:35 Holy Jesus what is that wtf is that?
Second and yessssss more German battleships😁😁😁😁😁
Maybe if you tracked your shots?
Gg assasio player
Why don’t you use flags?
I agree on the guns for the German Tiers not good. I even had a Fiji out turn my torpedoes from 3km.
If only I video to highlight that nonsense.
But you have to get close in german ships, which can be a problem if the map is like ring or estuary.
Though I think you were unlucky and didn't get much assistance from your team either.
Normally a thing in these games.
Wow u r very pro and both lucky with this metal crap :) prolly my worst ship out of all battlecruisers, better I bought Sinop lol :)
But was curious... played and boosted it till 30% of all xp, yet no win! Just all other battleships get crap out if it! And unluckily I didn’t meet lower rank or at least kinda same... only Jean Barts, Richelieus etc against me!!! Wtf ))) so they send hell on Gneisensu and she responds with 6 guns like fart :)
This is the best german ship
Hmm in My opinion either the tirpitz(dont own her) or the scharnhorst is one of the Best. But we All have different opinions. Have a Nice day:)
I guess it's good at tanking hits
Personally I enjoy the gneisenau more than the Bismarck. For some reason I just perform better in it both top tier and bottom tier in games. It’s just able to take more punishment imo than the Bismarck.
Gneisenau? Or Gneiselater?
*Badum tissss*
This ship look like tiger tank
I think the Gneisenau is better than the Bismarck even though it is only tier 6. My second favourite german battleship besides the Tirpitz which i don’t have :/
There are not enough insults to describe how much I dislike this floating Coca Cola can
I have the Bayern and I'm not looking forward to this ship bc of 2x3's. Not a fan of only having 6 guns. It's why I put off the German line.
the Russians are here I spent 5 million credits on Soviet crates
and didn't even get a Destroyer
Warning! This is my opinion.The gneisenau is honestly the tier 6 Bismarck
Sorry man but the German battle ships are the best😂.
True
