mashed68 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 This ship just smashes everything. I'd buy a premium version of it asap if they released one. Reduce main battery range, up the secondarys range and BAM nothing could stop her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humility925 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 (edited) Are you kidding? I had lost like 8 to 10 in row in ranked battle with bayern ship, it's not overpower, this ship is design for brawl, more or less, meaning they do handle it much better and more damage at close range but not do well in long range and it's less damage in long range vs other BB.

Nevermore135 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 (edited) Bayern is pretty solid in Ranked. Her biggest disadvantage in Randoms is her mediocre AP shells, which outside of damage per shell are pretty lackluster. When facing off against only other tier VIs at closer ranges, however, the shells have more than enough penetration and are able to overmatch the bows and sterns of anything you will face. Just don’t run a secondary build. Run a tank build with ASM1 and leverage your 15” guns and survivability. IMO, she’s just behind Warspite as one of the best BB picks for this season of Ranked.

Daniel_Allan_Clark Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Single tier ranked makes for ships that aren't OP in randoms suddenly become OP because they are never bottom tier. It's why I love to play CV in any even tier ranked...you are even more powerful than usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MnemonScarlet Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Bayern's alright, though I've always crushed her with Fusou in Ranked, going all the way back to when we used to have the old-school Ranked seasons where you only got to enjoy T6 ships for a limited amount of time. I never saved a captain for Bayern since the awful WW1 shells put me off - when I want a similar experience I just run Mutsu since I got her in a crate. Though I might consider picking her over Warspite nowadays since Warspite is such a soft target compared to Bayern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OT2_2 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Bayern is a good and solid ship, but for Ranked both Mackensen or particuarly premium "Prinz Eitel Friedrich" (PEF) are much better suited. PEF also has a powerful AA - suite, which most of the CV try to avoid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Itwastuesday Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Sure, why not. Any battleship that overmatch other battleships is probably ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my favorite ships in the game uses the same guns at tier 7 and no problems there either. As for Mackensen or friedrich, I hate those things. Defflinger is cool, Prinz Heinrich is amazing, but mackensen just doesn't do it for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
