Unfortunately I've not had the opportunity to sail a Hipper just yet. However, I did just get into the D-Land and she's a fine ship. I have to agree that without good gunners you'll suffer from the shotgun spread but she makes an excellent aa platform. The only decent one imo other than the Emden, well up to the D-Land anyway.
If you like to support the rushers go with a Hipper, if you prefer to hang back a bit and offer support for the supporting CA's and an impromptu AA support, go D-Land
