Gneisenau — German Tier VII battleship.

En 1933, Alemania presentó diseños de barcos que superarían los límites establecidos por el Tratado de Versalles. Para enfrentarse a los barcos franceses con cañones de 330 mm, se incorporó al diseño un blindaje reforzado y una tercera torreta. El nuevo acorazado, el Gneisenau, participó en las operaciones Weserübung y Berlín y en el avance por el canal de la Mancha. En 1942, el Gneisenau recibió el impacto de una bomba lanzada por bombarderos británicos. Los cañones desmontados del acorazado se reutilizaron para las necesidades de defensa costera en Noruega. El 27 de marzo de 1945, el Gneisenau fue hundido debido a un ataque del Ejército Rojo.

Player Opinion

Performance

Hailing as the first post-World War I battleship design in the German battleship line at Tier VII, Gneisenau dramatically shifts from the bulky, slow-to-react dreadnoughts that are more dangerous when they get close into a post-dreadnought battleship which can do many of the same things (to a certain degree) while remaining one of the most versatile battleships at her tier.

Playing Gneisenau is decidedly different from playing her American and Japanese counterparts at Tier VII (Colorado and Nagato, respectively). While Gneisenau may appear slender and lightly armored, don't be fooled: she is deceptively durable in the hands of a captain who knows how to handle her. Her 15-inch guns give her the capability of fighting on the same level as her peers, though she does have two fewer barrels. From a handling perspective, she's the fastest battleship out of the German line, and has no trouble keeping up with cruisers as needed.

Her speed is arguably Gneisenau’s greatest asset. It allows her to close the gap with enemy battleships and force them into close range where her main battery, secondary guns, and torpedoes can deliver the killing blow. While most battleships tend to join a battle line, Gneisenau can instead join up with fast cruisers and blitz the enemy by appearing quickly from an unexpected location. She is capable of operating solo, but extra caution is needed when doing so; her main battery dispersion is frequently frustrating, making long-range combat decidedly not her strong suit. Gneisenau is most comfortable at medium-to-close range — even point-blank range — where she can make every shell and torpedo count.

Gneisenau is unique in the game as the only regular tech tree battleship to have torpedoes available; the only other battleships with torpedo tubes are her premium sister Scharnhorst and the premium version of her successor, Tirpitz. Her rakish looks hide a brutal array of secondary batteries that unload at an impressive rate of fire, and are more than capable of shredding destroyers of equal and lower tiers (higher tier destroyers are likely to have concealment values that make closing with them suicidal).

Gneisenau — like Scharnhorst — is a ship that is equally at ease diving into a melee or holding back from one. Learning when to dive in and put her secondaries and torpedoes to work (and when not to) is half the fun of learning how to play her well.

Pros:

Un Acorazado muy versátil; puede llegar a jugar como un Acorazado primera linea, pero su velocidad le permite jugar como un crucero de batalla y flanquear dependiendo del curso de la batalla.
Excelentes Balísticas para su nivel llegando a tener los mismos cañones de 380mm encontrados en los acorazados Bismarck y Tirpitz.
excelente velocidad para un acorazado (32 Nudos);El acorazado mas rápido de la rama de acorazados alemanes. Con la bandera Sierra Mike puede ser tan rápido como el acorazado Iowa.
Excelente Batería Secundaria .
Buen alcance de disparo.
Armamento de torpedos disponible, compuesto por un tubo triple de torpedos de 533mm por lado, haciéndolo un excelente combatiente a cortas distancias.
Buena supervivencia ,gracias a su buen cinturón blindado y su esquema de blindaje de tortuga.
Ocultamiento Decente, con un capitán con la habilidad de "Experto en Ocultamiento", Llegando con esta configuración a unos modestos 13.6km de detección en superficie. (Rivalizando incluso a algunos cruceros).
Moderada capacidad antiaérea, contando con 5 nubes de explosiones de Fuego Antiaéreo.
Excelente capacidad de penetración de los proyectiles AP,
Excelente velocidad de proyectiles, haciendo mas sencillo el apuntar con precisión.

Cons:

Vulnerabilidad a los ataques de bombas aéreas AP.
Los cañones de 380mm tienen dificultades para penetrar objetivos con una angulación muy pronunciada. (se recomienda disparar AE).
Protección anti torpedos muy pobre siendo de 22% llegando a ser de los mas bajos del nivel.
Radio de giro muy amplio (830m).
La vulnerabilidad de la ciudadela es baja, pero no se recomienda mostrar el costado, el blindaje horizontal suele armar los proyectiles AP causando graves daños al barco.
La distribución de las torretas AB-C no es la mas cómoda.
La dispersión de sus cañones no es consistente.
La cubierta puede ser penetrada por proyectiles de calibras mas grandes.
Corto rango de torpedo, siendo un arma de "Ultimo Recurso"
Vulnerabilidad alta a incendios.

Research

Los jugadores deberían priorizar el casco (B), ya que este proporciona un buen aumento en la supervivencia del barco además de mejorar las capacidades Antiaéreas.

La opción entre la mejora de Propulsión o la mejora de Control de Tiro dependerá de cada jugador, La mejora de propulsión debería ser utilizada si el jugador prefiere una configuración de combate cercano o la mejora de control de tiro si se prefiere jugar con una configuración mas estándar.

Optimal Configuration

Gneisenau doesn't mind brawling at close range; her commander skills and upgrades can be tailored to such tactics, or focused more on anti-aircraft defense to increase her survivability.

Upgrades

Anti-Aircraft Build: One possible build is to maximize Gneisenau’s AA suite; it is similar to the Secondary Battery Build below, but uses AA Guns Modification 2 in Upgrade Slot 2.

Secondary Battery Build: Another possible build for Gneisenau will maximize her secondary battery by equipping Secondary Battery Mod 2, along with the usual suspects for battleships: Main Armaments Mod 1 and Damage Control Mod 1. Upgrade Slot 5 offers an interesting choice between Steering Gears Mod 2 and Damage Control Mod 2 that is left to individual captains.

Even if choosing to focus on her secondary battery, Auxiliary Armaments Mod 1 is not recommended; improving the survivability of Gneisenau’s main battery with Main Armaments Mod 1 is still a better choice.

Commander Skills

Secondary Battery Build: Basics of Survivability at Tier 1, Expert Marskman at Tier 2, Superintendent at Tier 3, Advanced Firing Training at Tier 4. These skills increase Gneisenau’s survivability while buffing her secondary battery range.

Anti-Aircraft Build: Basic Firing Training at Tier 1, Expert Marksman at Tier 2, Superintendent at Tier 3, Manual Fire Control for AA Armament at Tier 4. Additional points should be put into Advanced Firing Training when available. Gneisenau is a deathtrap for enemy planes in this configuration, with an AA bubble that can extend out as far as 7.5km (with AA Gun Modification 2 in Upgrade Slot 2) and dispensing a punishing amount of damage from her 128mm dual-purpose guns.

Consumables

Both Damage Control Party II and Repair Party II are recommended for the quicker cooldowns, especially for captains who have opted for the Secondary Battery Build.

Camouflage

Type 1, 2, or 5 camouflage can be equipped for credits; Types 2 or 5 are recommended at a minimum to reduce the accuracy of incoming shells.

Players who wish to spend doubloons can equip Gneisenau with Type 17 camouflage that lowers her detection radius, reduces the accuracy of incoming shells, reduces her repair costs, and increases the amount of experience she earns.

Signals

Players who have followed the Secondary Battery Build above will want to equip Mike Yankee Soxisix and India Delta signals in order to further boost the effectiveness of their secondaries and Repair Party consumable, respectively.

Players following the Anti-Aircraft Build may wish to equip November Echo Setteseven for the bonus to AA gun damage.
