Is Scharnhorst '43 worth buying for operations?

An audience purchase question prompts a comparison of Scharnhorst '43, Duke of York, and Yukon for World of Warships operations.

Question

Should a player who mainly runs operations buy Scharnhorst '43 in World of Warships?

Short answer

No. Newer ships have overtaken it, and Yukon is suggested as a stronger battleship alternative for that mode.

Notes

For a player who mainly plays World of Warships operations, the recommendation is to pass on Scharnhorst '43 because newer ships have overtaken it. Duke of York receives a similar assessment: usable, but old and no longer particularly competitive. Yukon is suggested as another option. It is described as a Canadian King George V variant with nine 15-inch guns and American super-heavy shells, referring to its representation in the game.
