also, you can hit dds from distance so take the shot. against a DD the hydro will give you enough time to dodge torps and your guns will paddle the DD good for trying. Your guns are accurate and deadly within 6kn. Hipper's 6km hydro seems like it should be useful. Is she the type of cruiser that can back up DDs in caps? …. The line only gets better from here on up. But once you get used to her, she is a very capable ship. Hipper, being a heavy cruiser, is more methodical and requires better planning and strategy. Decent HE alpha (with the built-in German 1/4 HE pen rule) and devastating AP when used right.Ī lot of people struggle with Admiral Hipper at the outset because they are used to the faster reload of lower tier ships and other light cruisers. She's basically a good mid-range support cruiser, and really gets you ready for what to expect with Roon and Hindenburg. You get fewer guns but with better ballistics, better hydro, and pretty good durability (for a cruiser). Admiral Hipper is a different animal than Yorck, so be aware. (And lemme know if ya wanna div up - I can run my Benson. Expert Loader is really great for your captain for this reason.Īgain, I have found it enjoyable and hope the Roon is similar. (If chat was any indication, he was.displeased.) It is even good on broadside BBs who are damage saturated, so keep that in mind. It is surprisingly maneuverable with just a speed flag, and that hydro is great for both rushing DDs and screening for your BBs (especially bottom tier when you know a red DD is lurking-usually a Shima flanking )īuilt in IFHE lets you get good raw HE damage on BBs, and the AP is OUTSTANDING on broadside cruisers - I blapped a Kutozov for 28k in one salvo, then finished him with the next. I could just be bad at it, though, so your mileage may vary.
You can brawl other same or lower tier cruisers a bit if you angle, but I haven't had much success with that. Top tier you can certainly help your DDs a tad more, but still want to use your range when you can - shell arcs are decent. When bottom tier, don't get aggressive, of course - be where you can use it's good range without being the juiciest target. You're gonna see tons of Xs, so it really depends on MM. I actually like mine, tbh (and have kind of a comical win rate in it somehow).
