Man the Sharnhorst was a beautiful ship, she just looks fast and lethal. Its a shame she flew under the flag that she did.

I was just about to edit my original post and say how beautiful Scharnhorst is.

Looks like great minds think alike :lol
I have a beautiful print of her hanging on the wall of my home office, I was always awe struck at her lines. She is one of the few ships that look like shes doing 30knots while standing still.
Edit: Sorry the print is called Atlantic Comrades by Ivan Berryman. I believe it is still available if ur intrested. Just Google the above and you should be able to fine it croduh :salute

Croduh modeled Bismark...

or would it? :huh

The Tirpitz had an increase in the number of AA guns (from 12 x 20mm to 40 x 20mm). This would make it harder on attacking a/c.

There are so many capital WW2 ships that would make some fun in the game.
I'd vote for some smaller if HT were to add some, - for starters.
Reason: ROF. The 11 inch gun for instance is evil enough compared to the 8", but with much higher ROF than the 15 or 16 inch.
That leaves you with pocket battleships or Scarnhorst/Gneienau.
6" would be interesting too, since ROF is very high, -much higher than the 8". That would give you the HMS Belfast for instance. Smaller than our cruiser, but quicker to track hits
Or 13 inch? KGV series?
Or just the 15? Tirpitz?
Or the 16...U.S. Ships?
Or...the Mushasi/Yamato :D

She (Scharnhorst) was a tad low in the water, and was called "dirty" because of water problems. Perhaps this is why some others built higher ones?
Anyway, for looks, quite a beauty, - basically from Hipper, Graf-Spee, Scarnhorst and to Tirpitz they all look extremely good ;)
Now compare with HMS Nelson :devil

Eew! It looks like they used all their budget on guns and realised they couldn't afford to make her long enough...

Didn't really want to downgrade Nelson there, the class just looks...ugly :D
However, when HMS Rodney met Bismarck, the Germans took it as a primary target. But Rodney hit first. And that hit was big, bad and knocked Bismarck's fire control out of ops.
The shell-hole is still well visible on the wreck.
