#AXIS HISTORY FORUM ADMIRAL HIPPER HOW TO#
The nurnberg iam not doing as well in, i am in winning matches, and surviving matches, but my XP and damage per game is way down from the konig.Videos on how to order Foreign Military Studies and microfilm from the US National Archives web site. My only gripe, the high repair bill and the constant tier 10 matches. so no idea about it or hipper, but will continue to grind my way to hipper. These ships can take a few hits, but they are CLs, what do u expect, gotta pick your fights. but again, only Cruiser i will not directly fight with it is the cleveland. just must be the tougher matches iam in, no idea. The nurnberg iam not doing as well in, i am in winning matches, and surviving matches, but my XP and damage per game is way down from the konig. switched to AP, 3 salvos and like 5 cits later, he was dead.did same thing with aoba later. we exchanged about 5 salvos, i had half health, and for some reason he still had alot, i was confused. good example is a game i played a few days ago, i was side by side with a furataco at 7k. only ship i will not directly engage with it is the cleveland, even the vaunted Furataco and Aoba if under 10k will die rather quickly while using the konig. I love them both, the konig is easily the best T5 Cruiser, bar none. I only play the Konigs and Nurn right now, sold my cleveland. I guess I just am basically opposed to the design philosophy of WG regarding this line of ships. Angling your ship does help as you state, but not good enough to not get melted like butter on a hot day. 17,7 km, and against ships you will face with it, they out range you. You do have some very good observations, but with a range of approx. However, the last time I used AP shells in a game, I hit 77 times, penned 14 times and did 10,000 damage.aiming at citadels. The RoF is good for a heavy cruiser too, factor in the fast turret arcs and traverse, this is a real gunship. HE not the best, but adequete enough I was able to burn a battleship down. Even at range, I notice AP shells taking healthy chunks off battleships. The shells travel so fast I end up overleading them, and I am used to the IJN heavy cruiser guns. The guns are the best of any heavy cruiser. In contrast IJN ships has a tendency to get their steering knocked out, so I put the steering modificaiton instead on these ships.ħ. Engine still likely to get knocked out, so it's best put that propulsion modification 1, which is what I notice German cruisers seem to be prone on. Great wildcard on close battles, although its not likely you will be fighting this ship up close.ĥ. Torpedo arcs are great, something we have seen from the earlier cruisers. Traverse speed is fairly fast for a heavy cruiser and it's got great angles.Ĥ. I do find that if the cruiser is angled, it can be quite resistant.ģ.

Getting the hull upgrade should be a priority, healthy 43000 hp helps cushion the blows.Ģ. If you are not used to this with German cruisers on the lower tiers, you better be used to it by now. If you present your broadside to a battleship, expect to get huge chunks of your HP taken out. I got the Hipper now and some of my early observations.ġ. They are probably reacting to the complaints and observations that people are using HE + fire effects as a crutch and as a silver bullet. If my suspicions are true, the next cruiser line will have low HE/high AP damage, and they will get back to eventually resetting the exisitng USN/IJN cruiser lines the same way. But they are afraid to change the current balance of IJN and USN cruisers, and concerned with the reaction players might have. I had another thought, that low HE/high AP damage is what WG might want to put as a meta for all cruisers in the game, not just the Germans. Videos that they have posted show people just destroying German Cruisers in 3 to 4 hits. A lot of people over at the EU forums have come to the same conclusion. I am very disappointed in WG for making such a weak ship for such an iconic and historic ship. The ship is a sniper/support ship, but has no spotter plan, just a fighter. HE rounds that do 2300 and you are forced to use them. AP rounds that do 5900, but can't penetrate anything. I think I will stop playing them until they fix them. I'm using Nurnberg which is a stopping point for me with my 150 mm AFT gameplay but maybe sometime this Century I'll be able to command the Hipper. Excluding Tirpitz which is a premium ship, Hipper is the probably the most famous of the available choices. If anything, I've gotten a big rush out of being hunted down like a notorious merchant raider after spending most of the match sniping and spamming at long range while avoiding return fire. I guess nostalgia plays a big part in my use of the German Cruisers.
