Meet The Schleiffen! Legendary German Battleship (World of Warships Legends) 

The Schlieffen was based on the GK 5041 design known as the Schnelle Großekampfschiffe GK 5041. The GK 5041 design was considered as the ultimate battlecruiser, weighing at 50,482 tons, being the biggest of all battlecruisers in the Reichsmarine (German Navy during World War 1). The ship was armed with 8 x 420 mm/50 SK L/50 on a Drh LC/1918 Mount, along with 8 dual-mounted 150mm/55 C/28 on a Dop. C/36 mount, 4 dual-mounted 105mm/65 C/33 on a Dop. L. C31 mount, and 8 dual-mounted 105mm/65 SK C/33 on a Dop. L. C/37 mount. Unfortunately, the construction of these ships was canceled at the end of World War 1. These design-studies were about the future all-big-gun-shipbuilding of the German Navy. The origin was a demand of the Emperor end of 1915 following a discussion about the replacement of the sunk armored cruiser Prinz Adalbert, which should have been replaced by a modern Battlecruiser of 7 the times costs (one of the later Yorck's). Tirpitz and the fleet tried to reject this discussion during the war, cause of legal problems about the approval by the parliament and cause of capacity lacks (the engineers of the design-department were needed for submarine and small craft design and was short at all, cause the army drafted a lot of them since August 1914). Not at least this rejection was a reason for the dismissal of Tirpitz in spring 1916. His successor, v. Capelle, was more to the will of the Emperor and so shortly before Jutland a number of design-studies were discussed (GK1-3, improvements of the Mackensen-Type with 15" and L1-L3 improvements of the Baden-type, elongated and faster). After the experiences of Jutland a vast discussion with plenty new ideas and designs started that last until the end of the war and some of these studies were far developed and represent possible new crafts of a German post-war fleet. Part of the discussion was also the question, if the two types BC and BB should and could be combined in a fast Battleship type. This was not an easy question, because the draft and beam of such a ship needed an extension of the harbor-locks in Wilhelmshaven and also of the dry-docks. Just some floating docks could keep such big ships. Another problem was that the waterways along the coasts and embouchures need to be digged out for them. The 42cm-gun (16.5") projected for those designs was under pre-development by Krupp since late 1916. So it is pretty sure that this caliber would have come after the war.

I love this ship, have Ciliax,Von Hipper and Haruna all at 16/4

Sparty! this will be my next bureau ship, she's in the dockyard as we speak. I run Hyde too in the battlecruisers and am happy with him, seems a good build. I've really enjoyed the second line of German BBs way more than I expected even more than my Bismark which was my favourite tier 7 for a long time. So really looking forward to the Schiffy. Great review thanks

Something else to add for those that dont: the torpedo tubes like the previous bb bc's, is that youre very very likely to lose at least 1, most likely lose BOTH launchers on a side. Ive had games where on one side i lost BOTH launchers, oooof

Having all the fun in the world in that ship looking at segment 5 out of 12 lol

It didn’t make much money for the amount of damage it dished out but noticed recently that tier 8 and legendary don’t pay out much unless your in a cruiser

I love it too. Before petro showed up i was playing it heavy. Havent touched it since. Lol.

got into a training room with my gf and a friend and told them both to face my schlieffen, gf who only got gk and montana unlocked chose gk and my friend chose yamato. the ridiculius ice breaker on schlieffen allowed me to bowtank the yami while hammering the gk with both main and secondaries. end result being i obliterated the gami with almost only citadel salvos and the did a drive by torp run on the gk ending the match with approx 75-80% hp left. schlieffen is a beast

I really, really wish Wargaming would create a flag with an image of a propeller beanie...

I love this ship as well...Hyde is also the cap for me!!

When we gunna get a triple schlieffen video on a two brothers mid push?

I think Lepanto is almost as broken with 10km sap secondaries it's insane.because they pen alot more Spartan can u do a full secondaries build video on Lepanto next?

I just got haruna yesterday finally after spending to much on crates lol learned my lesson just pay 20 for her

Kinda regretting that I took a few months break, missed a few good ships through campaigns and I’m behind on my bureau. Just two stages in on this girl.

By the time I get back from vacation in mid July, or so I should finally have this ship! (Farewell gk)

Can't wait for this ship, i'm about just under 2 stages left

8k torps,in the pc version mine has 13.5k range on my torps, its already been nerfed for consols.

Cannot wait to get this ship! Gonna be so much fun! (until carriers)

Good video I think this well be my next project I am working on the Kaga had the needed ships, May other spot is Vermont I did get Vermont I got the silver in a few free crates to get it plus I have all the needed ships for it. I was doing Columbo but lacked 2 gate ships so stopped it for Vermont as Italian ships are so hard for me to use and grained up the BBs for the gates is low on my list.

Me n my mate have it. Nasty secondaries when there’s 2 of ya lol

45k is damn impressive 50 would be f’in great

We need more from this ship!

Do you have to get 30K with the secondaries or a combination of everything?

I really do not get along with the German Battelcruisers, I have having limited DC Parties and not having the armour that a Battleship would have. Maybe they'll grow on me at some point.

can we talk about the 8 shimas!!?! 8 ships × 15 torps per ship = 120 nuclear tops flying around the game at Mach 10 😅

I gotta 50k salvo with this thing on a broadside Stalingrad

Those secondaries are freaking nasty!!!!

YES! FINALLY!

I wish I had more aggressive teammates to play with

curious as to why you never target selected for the secondaries on anything. just curious

Great review! As usuaI have to say, and the Schlieffen is a monster and fantastic BB:

Wil have it in 2 days ❤😊

I'm getting the GK Gonna be my first Legendary ship but I Will get Those ship soon

time for the memes

Hi Spartan, will you be doing a Petro vid soon?

I’m averaging about 500 secondary hits per match 😂🎉such a meme ship omg 😂

Hey spartan have you tried the constellation?

Spartan can you play this game with two controllers or just one? Thank you sir.

Great video Spartan.

There between 40 to 60k people playing wow per week so it’s entirely possible to hit 50k subscribers

I don't think it's OP, The range of the main guns is poor compared to other Legendary BBs. So to counter, you just have to keep it at arm's length. I keep thinking of the Destiny analogy where people complain about shot gun apes rushing around the map one shot killing everyone as being a low skill weapon, but the skill comes from the approach, how and when to get in close without getting focus fired.

Like the Irish female guise says here for a good time not a long time

I Got My KMS SCHLIEFFEN On Pay Day After I Got KMS ÄGIR 😃. I Just Boosted My Last Stage For SCHLIEFFEN 😃

Hi.Spartan I just got the yamato what is the best way to play that battleship.

I asked and he gave👍🏻

Spartan put the epic secondary mod on lepanto it’s secondaries load so fast it’s not even funny and they deal way more consistent damage than schliefens secondaries

What makes this better than FDG or GK?

bonjour , comment faut il faire pour avoir des mods epiques ,

gg

Meet the Schleiffen?!? 🎀 😂

How to get the Epic secedary mod?

Is Haruna actually in the store?

I get 16000 somthin in my yammy 😊

A like and a comment.

Hi

Nice video 👍i like it 🫡

Third or forth😉😋

I stop the Projekt after 2 Segments, why I don't trust this ship. After your video I start the project again. I don't trust war gaming, but I trust king Spartan. I think now it's a good vessel. God save the king. Haha. Hold on for your fantastic entertainment Spartan. Fingercross from germany. 🇺🇸🇩🇪👌

First

Hi idk third or second 😂😂

First🎉
