Scharnhorst — German Premium Tier VI Battleship.

A German Battleship designed for raider operations and fighting cruisers, including battlecruisers. When Scharnhorst was built, she was faster than any ship of her type. The rather small caliber of her main battery was her drawback, but that was offset by her higher rate of fire.

Entered Service: 1939
Ships in a series: 2

Ironclad: Above average armor thickness. Greater resisitance to all forms of armor penetration.	Fast: Above average maximum movement speed.	Modest Guns: The ship is armed with low-caliber main battery guns.	Money Maker: Grants a significant bonus to XP and credit earnings.

Player Opinion

Pros:

• Good top speed at 30 knots
• Decent main battery accuracy thanks to the 2.0 Sigma value
• Main battery guns have the best range at Tier VI, as well as a fast reload time
• Decent secondary armament
• Equipped with torpedoes
• Great armor scheme with a large icebreaker and a very effective turtleback

Cons:

• Small main caliber guns prevent Scharnhorst from overmatching its counterparts; they also have less penetration
• Low main battery damage and HE shell fire chance
• Mediocre AA armament
• A large superstructure with a large amount of HP makes Scharnhorst easy to damage in that area
