06.?? Tier VIII Premium German Carrier Graf Zeppelin


IMG_20170629_003913

A high-speed aircraft carrier with numerous anti-mine and universal artillery. She had the most powerful powerplant among the ships of the German Navy. The completion of the aircraft carrier during the Second World War was prevented by the changing priorities in the shipbuilding program of the state.

Graf Zeppelin is a 33500-ton aircraft carrier equipped with Bf109T and Ju87C carrier-based aircraft.

New Change

Plan A

Fighters drop to Tier 7, combat characteristics remain the same.

Dive Bomber: AP bomb now has a 4-second delay, the size of dispersion ellipse is further reduced.

Plan B

No change to fighters.

Dive Bomber: AP bomb has only 1-second delay, and the dispersion ellipse is now a perfect circle with a diameter of 120 meters.

Legacy

Graf Zeppelin's new flight control is 2-0-3.

Recently she received the optional PC-500 AP bombs with effective penetration ranging from 35mm – 245mm.

SC-500 HE bomb's dispersion is now a perfect circle, and the bombs have better chance landing at the center.

PC-500 RS AP bomb now has a flight time of 6 seconds. (The bombs land 6 seconds after the bombers make their dropping move. It is a pre-set value and has nothing to do with aerodynamics.)

Secondary range decreased from 7.5 km to 6.25 km, but the accuracy is significantly improved. The secondary gun dispersion is 86 meters under new maxmium range.

  1. If WG brings it out with 2 0 3 they can put it straight into their own asses 😀

     

  2. Ju 87s as torpedo bombers only? That's just silly. Should be another flight control option with the Stukas as DBs with AP bombs.

    1. Oh and also disappointing that the secondaries don't get 7km range like Bismarck & Tirpitz for a lulzy secondary-build aircraft carrier.
