![]() ![]() Kaga and Enterprise are probably better, but GZ is really funny to play. Is the GZ a good ship or just significantly weaker than the other tier 8 CVs and in need of buffs? You'd think either the rockets or torpedoes would make up for this, but GZ torpedoes seem to do the lowest damage at the tier besides Implacable, and the rockets seem rather inaccurate. Compare this to Enterprise and Saipan, and even Kaga, which can frequently land 10k+ drops with their bombs. The dive bombers look abysmal, missing both bombs even on well lined up drops and even if they hit it's usually a ricochet or shatter, or only one single citadel. I considered buying GZ, but it just doesn't look worth it, not as strong as the others.

Photographs of models of the Graf Zeppelin can be found here. The wreck was discovered by a Polish survey ship in July 2006. The Soviet Union raised the ship in March 1946, and she was ultimately sunk in weapons tests north of Poland 17 months later. She remained in the Baltic for the duration of the war with Germany’s defeat imminent, the ship’s custodian crew scuttled her just outside Stettin in March 1945. ![]() ![]() Graf Zeppelin was not completed and was never operational due to shifting construction priorities necessitated by the war. Named in honor of Graf (Count) Ferdinand von Zeppelin, the ship was launched on 8 December 1938, and was 85% complete by the outbreak of World War II in September 1939. The carrier would have had a complement of 42 fighters and dive bombers.Ĭonstruction on Graf Zeppelin began on 28 December 1936, when her keel was laid down at the Deutsche Werke shipyard in Kiel. She was the only aircraft carrier launched by Germany and represented part of the Kriegsmarine’s attempt to create a well-balanced oceangoing fleet, capable of projecting German naval power far beyond the narrow confines of the Baltic and North Seas. ![]() The German aircraft carrier Graf Zeppelin was the lead ship in a class of two carriers of the same name ordered by the Kriegsmarine. ![]()
