She is capable of operating solo, but extra caution is needed when doing so her main battery dispersion is frequently frustrating, making long-range combat decidedly not her strong suit. While most battleships tend to join a battle line, Gneisenau can instead join up with fast cruisers and blitz the enemy by appearing quickly from an unexpected location. It allows her to close the gap with enemy battleships and force them into close range where her main battery, secondary guns, and torpedoes can deliver the killing blow. Her speed is arguably Gneisenau’s greatest asset. From a handling perspective, she's the fastest battleship out of the German line, and has no trouble keeping up with cruisers as needed.
Her 15-inch guns give her the capability of fighting on the same level as her peers, though she does have fewer barrels than the competition. While Gneisenau may appear slender and lightly armored, don't be fooled: she is deceptively durable in the hands of a captain who knows how to handle her. Playing Gneisenau is decidedly different from playing her counterparts at Tier VII. Hailing as the first post-World War I battleship design in the German battleship line at Tier VII, Gneisenau dramatically shifts from the bulky, slow-to-react dreadnoughts that are more dangerous when they get close into a post-dreadnought battleship which can do many of the same things (to a certain degree) while remaining one of the most versatile battleships at her tier.
