  • Retiring my Bismarck

I'll be unlocking the H44 here shortly, and with as much fun (serious) as I had with
the H39 I'm looking forward to it. (Please spare the negative comments about H44,
I've already heard them all)

But I just dusted off my Bismarck for a BB123 battle and I come back to the
realization that it has the damage output of a wet newspaper. It has range, sure,
but BB123 battles aren't about shared exp (which I am not a fan of, either, but that
is something else) and sticking to range advantage I find it hard to get much more
than 20-30k damage, granted I take little or none. The only reason I keep it around
is for these matches, but even in them I don't get much out of it.

This brings me to the question: should I retire my Bis? Just looking for opinions :)

First something you got wrong:
firepower importance is bigger in shared xp, while the range importance is bigger in rooms
like bb1-3
and bissy not only has the best range of all bb3, it also has a great firepower(i
realy hope ur using the 14.96),and has great AA...
I'm sorry, but if you have a bb5 crew on a bismarck and having trouble scoring 30k attack
than your doing something seriously wrong...my intention isn't to flame, but an at lvl
bissy can very easly score 50k+ battles, realy

If you are complaining about bissy, just try nagato...it has less range, about same
firepower, worst spread, crappy AA and is just as fragile and has a shell hang time of
just a bit over 5 seconds, with a 43 degrees gun...and it still is a nice ship

Bissy = One of the Best BB3
When you use it again with lvl 105+ H44 crew you'll see why we love bissy.

Player error.

The BSM, IMO, isn't the best BB3. You can't fire nine shells of 14.96", swing to avoid shells, kill a scout, and
hop back in range for another salvo four seconds later. The O2 is the NF BB3 incarnation of Chuck Norris mixed
with a black person about to miss a deal at KFC and Optimus Prime. It has no equal.....

Why get rid of the Bismark unless you have to?

I kept a Z99 in the barn for years until I finally ran out of room. I have H44 and still
keep both my O2 and H39 (I did dump my Bismark, however, because IMHO OPro2>Bismark).

Don't dump it unless you must. Both KM BB3 are fun ships. Just because you have leveled up
doesn't mean you can't still enjoy them.

Personally, I find the BB3's more fun than the BB4/5...

"Well, to be fair there are at least 5 BB3 that do better damage. That is if they get in
range. "

If you managed to get into range of them you failed in scouting. And 3-4 UK 14"N turrets
do have more damage, but have massive weight and range deficits, not speaking of the
extreme slow reload compared to the km guns.

I just dusted my Bismark off, and it is still my favorite KM ship. With a level 115
gunners, it comes pretty close to block-shotting with the 14's (as close as a KM BB can
with the right guns). I took it into two or three GBII's, and managed great games. I can
only imagine how well it would do with the same crew in a BB1-3.

Keep it.

Practice, practice, practice.

This is obviously the drivers fault, as the Bissy is the best BB3 there is. And dmg is,
in fact, one of its strong points.

with the bsm.
