138 [IJN] hurricaneflyer Member 312 posts 5,152 battles Report post #1 Posted August 9, 2020 Hello forum, I have recently obtained the FDG and after watching several guides discerned that the ship is not a very good Brawler in the current meta. However,my German BB captain is built with a secondary build (more specifically for Bismarck and Odin) and I am wondering if I should just train a new captain from the ground up for the Friedrich as I'd rather not have to retrain and respec my captain every time I wish to play the Bismarck. Any suggestions would be helpful. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's why I stuck too long on Bismarck (T8) LoL. Can't run on fully / maximize secondaries module on those BBs nowadays, but it is still fun anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Done that with Hipper once, it actually worked better than the standard build in Co-Op There I said it. He's gonna bust into this thread for sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
