DescriptionThis build emphasizes using Scharnhorst as a mid to close range brawler and utilizes running with scissors to increase both turrent traverse and rudder shift.
SLOT 1: Aiming systems (helps offset RwS)
SLOT 2: Steering Gears
SLOT 3: Concealment
Overall this will help you focus down lone ships on your flank. Be mindful when taking on more than 1 target especially if they are equipped with torpedoes. Use terrain/islands to limit who can shoot at you and to make targets come to you. Disengage when needed to heal and re-engage from a different angle of attack.
When taking on destroyers, it is best to bait them into using torpedoes, dodge them(this is why 10s rudder shift helps), and then run them down with your main battery and secondaries (switch to HE when RwS is active). It is best to only take on one destroyer at a time to avoid getting flanked.
Good luck and fair seas!
