Im going to start adding youtube chapters to my videos it takes a little extra work but hopefully it will help folks get to the part of the videos they are interested in quicker. Let me know what you think
Great vid Spartan! I like these series. Btw, you can get the two wing turrets on the Kaiser to fire in a full broadside, but you have to completely expose your full broadside to in order to do so, so it’s better to just angle and use your 8 gun salvo while angling
Brilliant idea 👍, it was interesting to watch your Hyde build, but could skip the other builds as I already got mine with AL Scharnhorst, and skip straight to the game play 🎮
Funny I have completed both American and German BB lines. Also Spartan don’t worry you don’t have to suffer in the Konig 😁👍 P.S. Konig and Kaiser great with Franz Von Hipper
Sparten, I think the biggest factor in the Bismarck not shooting down the Swordfish was they were canvas planes and AA shells fired by the Bismarck just went through without arming, and allowing the plane to function still.
hello captain spartan first it is really cool that you ll show all the lines from the beginning to the end. most of the cc are runnin high tier and for all the beginners is it very helpfull. so 👍👍 i voted for the german line too but not to see you struggling, just to show how you ve to work with this ships. and in true spartan style great video very helpfull for beginners so from me 12/10 points. have fun take care and best regards from 🇨🇭
Hey Spartan, huge fan and I absolutely love these videos. I love world of warships and I love your content plus I learn an absolute boat load from you keep these videos up!
Thank you SO MUCH for doing the German BB Line! I enjoy using the German BBs but never really had an idea of what build to run and who to look out for. Is there a build i can run with AL Scharnhorst?
I was surprised when I broke 100k damage in my Clemson, I didn’t sexpect that at all, I used to think that the Clemson sucked because it only had four guns in total, but the more I play it, the more damage I get
I’ve noticed recently that a lot of my shots have been passing through lately, no hits at all, bit they look like they should be hitting. Not sure if it’s lag or a bug but it’s been very annoying, noticed it a lot in my Baltimore
I think this is when you shoot thrue an island? Instead of splatter against the mountain, they pass thrue it, but does no damage when hitting the ship. You see them hit, but the hits dos not register as such. (?) It has happend to me sometimes in US DD´s. When i backed off the island, the shots was connecting again.
As much as I love the Bayern and the Bismarck (my favourite ships for pure fun) my opinion is the Kaiser and Gneisenau let the German line down. I use Farsight as my legendary perk on Hyde just for the added torpedo detection through the lower tiers, but i do change back to Fight fire with fire for the Bismarck. I'll try Alidad later as I never use it before
Save up your GXP as she's available soon for 750k, but be warned I had her after the campaign and she's the only ship I've ever hated enough to sell. I found her to be worse than the Colorado.
@@vinnyganzano1930 That might be a hard pass for me then. California is the only American BB that I can get value with. I get more citadel shots with Bismark then Iowa.
With the Japanese having the concealment mod for applicable BB’s I’d say Amagi is very good and it might make her better than some of the others. Especially with the 10 410mm guns.
Bismarck is good, Amagi not bad, the Richelieu stinks of stale cigarette smoke, cheap red wine and garlic, the Vanguard can blooter your arse if you're not paying attention but the Iowa is still the easiest and most forgiving T7 tech tree BB.
@@SpartanElite43 I have the Iowa, just finished getting my xp for. all upgrades on it. I like. it, but my only complaints are the accuracy; I get such big spreads, especially horizontal. I'm using 16/1 sims, (9)scarnhorst/(8)cunningham traits, disp ship upgrade. Oh and. also. the mobility, holy. hell, that thing is like a skateboard with the trucks tightened down so far, it doesn't even tilt. and turn. I don't. know why they wouldn't give the 40% rudder shift. Just remembered that the Massachusetts will be available for 750k free xp. How. does that compare? I have like. 500k. saved right now, and was. going to use that to get. up the German line if I went that route, since I'm only at t3 German. I'm like 100k. from amagi though.
I....absolutely hated the German Line. Kaiser and Konig were manageable. Bayern and Gneis...Hot garbage up until Bismarck. She never gave me any problems and the fact I had her turret traverse down to like 22 seconds was yeah. Won quite a bit of drivebys with it and running down Water Princess's in reverse as my secondaries laughed at them was enjoyable. Whether I ran Hipper or Ciliax. My dispersion was pretty disgusting.
You're not alone, I loved the German line and I don't understand the hate from some players for Gneisenau, true she's more Battlecruiser than Battleship but she's one I loved playing
@@vinnyganzano1930 me too I love the kaiser,the konig is alright idk the guns are accurate, but the shop just doesn't seem to have the same tanky-ness as the kaiser the bayern is ok but definitely a mid range ship and ok accuracy and i don't have the genisuinau yet but I've heard it's a pretty good mid-close range battlecruiser
One time I was playing world of warships blitz I was using the Kaiser and I took down the Wyoming after I took that one down I started to attack a another Wyoming they had two Wyomings I needed help with the second one because of my damage
The Bismarck couldn’t shoot down the swordfish torpedo bombers because they were built extremely tough and could fly so low that the Bismarck’s AA couldn’t aim down enough to hit them
You can get both wing turrets firing on the Kaiser the ship your shooting at needs to be I think is over 8km away from you any closer the it wont allow it
I’ll probably end up using Brawler for Ciliax (when I somehow save enough commander XP or get lucky with a crate(probably won’t run Hide either because of WTR))since I won’t hit anything at range anyway
Commander crates give you commanders you don't have. They made this change a long time ago so the only time you get duplicates is when you have all commanders unlocked so Ciliax will drop the more you get.
Hey Spartan. Been really down lately and my brother passed at age 20 from drugs my mom got a new kidney after 8 yrs on the waiting list Which is good like really good! But I feel like I don’t have a purpose! I want to end it I called my dad he did not answer! Wanted to talk to you before well yeah.
Yo Bro don't don anything rash. There is always a purpose even if it isn't always clear. I have been exactly where you are at this moment and I hope I am not too late. Seek help man you are not alone. I know what it is like to keep getting beat down further and further until you can't take it anymore but you gotta keep fighting! The world is a cruel place and I hate to hear about you brother and glad to hear you mother is recovering from finally getting her kidney. Imagine what it would do to her especially after losing your brother man. Never give up, Never Surrender! That is Spartan Law and By Spartan Law we must stand and fight! You never know what the future holds for you or whose life you might touch someday! You must get through this!
Totenkopf is German for dead head or head of the dead. I think. Those Germanic languages always have very similar vocabulary and grammar. Not that easy to tell.

Let me know what you think
Howwwwww do u only have 31k sub's!!!!
Fabulous idea. Lot less digging now.
Hi spartan just wanted to tell you that you can use all 10 guns of the kaiser but it must be the right angle
Great vid Spartan! I like these series. Btw, you can get the two wing turrets on the Kaiser to fire in a full broadside, but you have to completely expose your full broadside to in order to do so, so it’s better to just angle and use your 8 gun salvo while angling

Omg . I asked for path to Bismarck on first episode of path to Iowa . Can't believe you're doing it ! >w
I did too
Totenkopf might mean something in swedish, but in german it means "skull" or "death's head" depending on context.
I´m swedish, no - its a german word. It translates to "döskalle" or "dödskalle" in swedish. Also depending on context of course. :)
totenkopf is German, I used to use it as my call sign when I was younger. also was named for one of the SS Panzer division units.
Totenkopf aka "Death's Head"
SS-Totenkopfverbände
They ran the concentration camps and extermination camps.
@@Volksgenossen The totenkopf was also a symbol used by the 5th Hussar cavalry regiment of the Prussian military.
Yesss thank god you kept going with the series!
Funny I have completed both American and German BB lines. Also Spartan don’t worry you don’t have to suffer in the Konig 😁👍
P.S. Konig and Kaiser great with Franz Von Hipper
If you go flat broadside and aim on port (left) side of that ship you can get all turrets to fire it’s a very tight window but it is possible.
When you were shooting at the t-22 you fired that starboard wing turret.
Yeah I realised that.
Sparten, I think the biggest factor in the Bismarck not shooting down the Swordfish was they were canvas planes and AA shells fired by the Bismarck just went through without arming, and allowing the plane to function still.

I love this series as I struggles with BB and especially the germans🤣. Thanks Spartan, please don’t stop this series🙏🏻☺️
I support this series!!! Excited for the New Jersey!!
I love my German BB especially when it gets close quarters
This is the one I've been waiting for. I've done it already. Now it's just to see if I did it correctly or not
These videos do help me!! i am just starting to play them.. mainly played crusiers and destroyers.

have fun take care and best regards from 🇨🇭
Kaiser is one of my favourite tier 3s.
Totenkopf was the deaths head skull and cross bones the SS adopted from the Prussians. Hussars I think.
When showcasing bismark, can you show the secondary build?
Tiers 5, 6 & 7 ships are lovely! I just started using a reload build on the Bismarck. It's really brutal :)
Im loving this new content spartan keep doing what your doing👍👍
Thx for continueing the series, keep up the good shit
Hi Spartan, the Name of the hosho is a German one, it means "skullhead" in German
Really hoping Hyde does come back again 🤞, missed out on getting him, so been using AL Scharnhorst, got her 16/3
Thanks Spartan, this is something that will help me.
Great video keep this series going awesome 😎
Content is content and I like the German BBs.
I always run Hipper, I just don't like Ciliax, and I seem to do pretty well with Hipper commanding.
Love your work mate keep it up finally just got the azur lane commander's so this series is perfect i don't have to
Guess who goes where
Hey Spartan keep up the great work 😎😎
Will do
Henry J. Hide has got some guns 💪💪
Hey Spartan, huge fan and I absolutely love these videos. I love world of warships and I love your content plus I learn an absolute boat load from you keep these videos up!
Thank you SO MUCH for doing the German BB Line! I enjoy using the German BBs but never really had an idea of what build to run and who to look out for. Is there a build i can run with AL Scharnhorst?
Sure but I don't use that commander for anything but inspiration
Let’s goooooooo, love this series!
With the Americans having three odd bb commanders (Lyons, Prime and Kong) I was hoping one would be a hybrid like Hyde. So disappointing.
They are good enough bro 😂
Nah, it would be better if one was a hybrid like Hyde. But that’s my opinion and like assholes we all have one.
Can't believe you'll be doing this path. I'm excited on how you're gonna roast the Bismark 😂😂😂

Are you only planning on doing Battleships or are you gonna do cruiser lines later on?
I will likely do everything at some point
You can actually get the second wing turret when you go fully broadside
I popped off when I seen road to Bismarck
Nice damage game Spartan!
I’ve got the Bismarck and the Kaiser was one of my favorites in the line to it along with the Bayern I use it for ranked when possible
Please, don't miss T5, thanks. You are good just keep going. 🙂
As soon as I seen the first episode of the Iowa I wanted one for the Bismarck grinding out for the Bismarck atm
Ahh spartan liked my comment 🤙🤙
@spartanelite43 hope to see you out there bro
Road to Bismark?! Yes please! My favorite ship!!! But I also don't have the Massachusetts.
Save up your GXP as she's available soon for 750k, but be warned I had her after the campaign and she's the only ship I've ever hated enough to sell. I found her to be worse than the Colorado.

Yesssssssss! I Can't wait!
I use Von Hipper and seem to do well with him
The Kaiser was the 1st Tier 3 BB I got that I didn't think was total crap.
I got a shot with the second wing turret once
How did you get that dispersion out of the Kaiser?
what do you think has a better tier 7 BB? Amagi, Iowa, or Bismark? Or even The Russian one.
Iowa is my favorite
With the Japanese having the concealment mod for applicable BB’s I’d say Amagi is very good and it might make her better than some of the others. Especially with the 10 410mm guns.

Much appreciated

I’m hoping to see Japanese next.
I was hoping that after the path to the iowa came the japanese bb line. Nice vid tho
I put up a poll and Germans won and it wasn't even close.
I will likely do more lines over time
@@SpartanElite43 makes sense, iPad doesn’t have the community tab for YT, so didn’t see it. Anyway, keep up the good work man! Love your vids

Great video Spartan…..
Do you have a Playstation or do you only play Xbox
Xbox
On Xbox u have to have game pass to play with friends on Xbox
The Kaiser is the first ship i got a Kraken unleashed in
Its a monster
Bro same
I kinda want Bismarck for his historical significance but I don't know if I want to suffer through German dispersion to get it.
At a certain range and angle you can get all turrets on target, really difficult tho 😂😂😂
I've gotten shots out of both wing turrets but only whilst full broadside
Thanks for the video. German bbs rule!
Yes. More
