I'm just happy to see them add more coal ships that are not tier 9 and 10. Options are nice, especially for newer players, to get 230k-300k coal for one ships is quite the grind.
Got it from last year’s Santa Container event, and tier 8 Mecklenburg is no better way to describe it. With spotter plane it gets over 20km of range, and people don’t expect a German war slug to rain down 15 shells of HE at range. Only problem is that the HE is quite floaty down range, it’s not like Mecklenburg where you can rail DDs from across the map
@Warewolverineski must be skill issue then, for me brandenburg wins brawls far better i have won 1v1s against tirpitz and bismarck far too many times, you have better secondaries and not only that you have 1 more each side but also bismarck/tirpitz has 1 secondary gun that has something like 60° forward firing angle so effectively you have 2 more secondary guns per side. As for main guns branden has worse angles but heavier salvo weight and since it has same accuracy with more guns you do more damage then tirpitz. You have 10k less hp but you get way more armor in return, brandenburg sits lower in water and not only that it has about 20mm more armor on most places compared to tirpitz. Thats why its not even a contest if you are a skilled player you can get more out of brandenburg then bismarck/tirpitz.
I got the Anhalt, and uptiered, it was pretty rough. I played two matches and got double-uptiered both times. Both types of ammo were ineffective then I was dead. It might be fun at tier 8, but I don't want to be a punching bag 4 matches of 5. Just so I can maybe be competitive 20% of the time.
I kinda like the ship - I got her in a crate a while back and wasn't super excited due to her reputation, but ngl - she was fun to play. Just spam fires on people. It's certainly a departure from the typical german BB.
Technically, it was.... trade in time you could trade in a Tier 10 that is for coal (like F Sherman) and then use your coal coupon and buy it back for 170k coal.
I got the Anhalt when it first came out. I used it a bunch with a secondary build in Operations and it was a good moneymaker and good training ship for captains. Didn't have as good a time in Random. For coal, it is well worth it if all you use it for is to train captains in OPS.
10k salvos are mid, there's a lot better ships for brawls or ranked. The only thing that Anhalt rips is wet loo paper. And yes, a SC cursed me with the damn thing!
Ahh yes the Gun Barge lol... i think i gave you that idea of calling that ship the Gun Barge. I think its fun in Ops and sometimes in Random if your in a T6-T8 game. Having that many guns (as inaccurate as they are) in brawling range less than 11km can really delete many ships in a broadside. Her biggest weakness is no hydro. Its fun when you need a change of pace.
I got the anhalt’s special camo out of a crate last year I think, but never bothered to pick up the ship, but now, I think I will. As for the other prem ships releasing this patch, I already have them so…
This ship is great in rank battles. My only Kraken in rank was with this bulldog. Spam HE then switch to AP once secondaries kick in and hold torp till 1.5k.
@@gamerboi5678 sadly no, but you can either look up a video or there’s a trick where if you look at her in the armory and press N while pressing escape, you can quickly hear the horn while your port loads
It might be a little bit dumb but i think i'll use my coal to buy Lutjens and grind the cruiser line with it and in december i will have a grinded commander for my free schlieffen. Anhalt and Scharn don't really catch my atention, i know scharn is good in bronze ranked but i got WV'44 so doesn't matter
I have the Alaska and the Alaska B both in my port already. If I buy the Alaska B it says it will give me 16,150 doubloons as compensation. My question is do I also still get the special combat mission? Because if I did at $65.61 that would be about an 11% discount on 18,650 doubloons not even counting the additional 100,000 Free XP.
1. Can I get this boat in a Santa container? YES: get it for coal first, so Santa might hook you up with a better ship. NO: meh. Hold off on this one. No need to get it now, you can wait.
I think the Anhalt is a alteration of the designs L2 (older design to respond to the QE) or the L21a design (an competetor to the L20ea design) the turret arrangment didnt fit 100% but its close enougth and these designs had 5 twin 38cm guns Both designs lost to the L20ea what karl johan is based of but the real one has 42cm guns in twin turretts all are BBs not BCs
I recently had my wows anniversary thingy where you get the 30% discount. Bought some gold used the gold discount as well and got Anhalt because I absolutely love ships with large amounts of guns. This was about 2 months ago, and even if I jumped through all the hoops to get it as cheap as possible it is severely annoying that they now made it a free coal ship, especially when I have been semi disappointed with it so far, but no one to blame but myself.. My problem is that while I like lots of guns I also hate slow ships. Looking at the stats of this I saw it was kinda slow, but I expected it would be faster a colorado unfortunatly while it has a theoretical topspeed, it bleeds speed when turning like no other ship, and it accelarates like a brick. I expected bad guns, but I loved Lyon, and at least accuracy should be better than lyon, but I'm just not "feeling" it. I tried it in ops where it okaish, but nothing to write home about. It is tanky as all hell though, so I suspect it will actually be pretty good in assymetric.
Hold on. Anhalt is going to be in store after the patch ? Unless my memory is going to hell, i remember seeing it for doubloons in the armory a month ago
HFIE no conceal secondary furious brawler for tier 10 matchmaking. Got it.😂 Jokes aside I was wondering why WG would treat us to a free Tier 8 but seeing the working playsile I see the issue. Could get Duke of York for the same purpose and get better MM, so yeah kinda disappointed.
I think Scharnhorst 43's better pick that Anhalt even including better economic bonuses of Anhalt, at least Schar gives you fun gameplay with fast pushes, secondary guns and torps
Did you see four of the Black Friday ships, the Massachusetts B, Alaska B, Asashio B, and Jean Bart B will not be available for doubloons this year, just cash? Just trying to squeeze a little more money out of the player base. They are calling these four ships the Legends.
The speed on the Tennessee kills me, even with the speed flag, you only get 22 knots. They need to change that. The ship isn't that great at T8 with as slow as it is in so many ways. Turret turn time is pathetic as well.
It's funny because back when the British BBs were added they made Nelson T7 because of its low speed and they said KGV couldn't be T8 with only 14" guns.
Oh yeah its a giant slow highly detectable floating funeral ship. Any viking would be proud to be sent to the afterlife in. Thats exactly what will happen to you. Who needs hydro or guns that are accurate and or large enough to sink anything at t8. Well t10 really cause they mix ranks. But hey seamen lord jr. says its awesome....Check out his other video on how these are the best loot boxes ever....I bet the real dead war hero Lord Mountbatten himself would be so proud.
my man just compared Ägirs 305mm with Anhalts 350mm and said "they are not as small as Ägirs 305" ..... well duuh obviously they arent xDD Ägir is a Large Cruiser and Anhalt a Battleship comparing these two in the first place is kinda .... bruh Anhalts guns are in fact (if not for the amount of guns) the worst guns at T8 for a Battleship ..... "EVERY" Battleship at T8 has more average DMG than the Anhalt (Main Guns only)
When I got this ship, I didn't try it for brawling, just for normal BB setup and shooting from far. BAD decision! This thing hits nothing, not even a huge Island right in front of it (just that you get the picture). It has the worst hit rate of all my ships (25%, Meckle = 35%) and I remember how often I landed all the shells around a huge BB and not even 1 shell hit. BUT then I put my Lütjens on it, went full secondary mode and straight into brawling (which isn't easy, because it is so damn slow). And it works. Secondaries ain't the best, just below medium, but they hit. Torps are quite deadly and right angled this ship can tank a lot damage and in brawling distance of 10 km it finally hits something! Not my favorite ship, but from time to time I play it. When it comes to T8, Flandre and Ipiranga are just better in brawling.
As Anhalt player, is this ship worth it to spend money on? Absolutely not and never worth since her introduction which there are lot better than her. However if you happens to get it for free, she is fun ship to use tbh, spam HE and you get lot of damage. But, get T9 first for credits gain Well its not recommended to spend money on WG but if you really want to spend money on T8. BB is Gascogne, cruiser are Atago or Bayard, CV is Kaga then DD are kidd or cossack which both of them is like necessary for T8 clan battle
i got this ship its meh dont truthfully like it too slow, massive turning circle hard to hit anything at range in a worth while way...only ship i ever bought that i initially wanted money back on decided to stick with it but didnt enjoy games in her
on console we could get Anhalt for free or Ohio for 20$ the f2p gamers got the Anhalt and the ship doesn't perform well on console but the Ohio? aw lawd
Correction: Anhalt has been available for dubs, she is just being made a coal ship this update

re. the armour - Kaiser Wilhelm demanded that the next iteration of Battle Cruisers should have battleship-level protection.
German WW1 BC design philosophy was to sacrifice firepower for armor and speed vs their BB's while the Brits sacrificed armor for speed and firepower.
In the firepower/ armor / speed triangle wrt design, German BC's usually sacrificed firepower, British sacrificed armor.
Believe Anhalt is the first tier 8 coal ship, all the other tier 8 premiums are for dubs, so this is a WG first
At least Dimitry Pozharsky is there already. I can't remember if there have been others when the coal was introduced, but yeah, these are quite rare.
The first viable coal ship that is not already owned by every active player (looking at you: shitshow - pozharsky)
I wish we could get the Tirpitz for coal!
now that operations are all tiers, T8's are not the go to tier anymore

Some of the best advice i got as a BB player for dealing with light cruisers is aim for the turret barbets and you will citadel.
She isn’t a good sec ship but HE volley is very powerful not to mention it has 81mm of HE pen with Torps at all directions. She is still a good BB.
Ik this video is about anhalt, but scharn 43' is just so good in ranked/ops... gotta get it if you don't have it already.
I'm so excited to get her. I missed her during the first time she was available and I have been having constant FOMO as a German BB enthusiast.

Both designs lost to the L20ea what karl johan is based of but the real one has 42cm guns in twin turretts all are BBs not BCs
Both Karl and Anhalt aren't based on any of L series you mentioned, they are loosely inspired from them.
If you had to pick Tulsa or Anhalt. What would it be?
Frak.
I was thinking about Iwami or Sherman next.
Iwami is a beast. 24-second reload on accurate 410s. And 20 km torps
Im more looking foward to the sharn 43.. i missed getting it by starting a couple weeks late. So getting it now is happy
