Is anyone else tired of driving out in the Scharnhorst only to find that your opposite number on the Red Team is one of the 16” gun Battleships? I don’t know about you folks, but the last few times I’ve gone out to create an artificial reef with my Premium Battleship I haven’t fired a single round of AP at an enemy Battleship. There’s just no point. Those 11” AP shells are only useful against Cruisers, Fuso and the Dunkerque. If you are forced to match up with Colorado or Nagato you may as well kiss your ass goodbye.
And waaaaaay too many times the only BBs on red will be those two ships. The damn game even seems to go out of its way to put Bot Tier VII BBs on red and give green Tier VIs. Worst of all is being bottom Tier. Not only can’t you hurt the Battleships, the damned Cruisers toss just as many shells, just as far, but 50% faster.
It seems to me that at this point we have a ship that would very much benefit from modified matchmaking. The Scharnhorst needs to be reclassified as a Cruiser when the server creates a game. If that means she’s never top tier then so be it. But expecting a ship with 11” guns to fight ships with 16” guns? I don’t see it.

Scharnhorst's supposive advantage is against cruisers, since she is faster than the other Tier VII battleships and having faster firing guns even if these guns don't hit as hard. She also has decent secondaries and also torpedoes, which hints at her being a bit of a brawler against other cruisers. She is for those who value speed and armour over main gun firepower.
^ She’s AWESOME at killing cruisers and not half bad warding off DD’s. I try to stay away from/run from other BB’s until endgame. Her survivabilty is great, very good armor. I really disliked her at first but she’s grown on me.

I am still not sure what equipment to put on her. I am thinking of the -10% surface detection and to increase torpedo protection or main gun turn rate increase.
any tips?
Problems worthy of attack prove their worth by hitting back.
