Modern/futuristic CV's have closed bows, like modern US CV's. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

361 [YARRR] ElAurens Members 735 posts 5,955 battles Report post #9 Posted June 28, 2017 T8? The real thing was utterly obsolete before it was even finished, which of course it never was. Her air complement would have been laughable as the Bf 109T was just a converted land plane, like every other aircraft that would have been assigned to her. She should be a T6 at best. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

873 [SCCC] Peregrinas Members 3,181 posts 17,515 battles Report post #11 Posted June 28, 2017 Looks like the preliminary squadron sizes are 5 torp bombers and 4 fighters per squadron based on the 2/3/0 loadout described in the OP. 2 minutes ago, MrDeaf said: Germany had aerial torpedoes, but they were usually equipped on twin engine land based bombers.

If she is gonna have crappy drop pattern like enterprise then having even 5 TBs wouldn't help 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

682 [SCRAP] ArmouredCarriers Beta Testers 1,690 posts 5,592 battles Report post #22 Posted June 28, 2017 Tier 8 sounds a bit 'off' Her design was based on German tours of HMS Glorious and Corageous... both 1920s conversions. Thus the casemate guns and open bow in a hull that would have been post 1940! And Graf Zeppelin had a total air group of 42 (if using Fieseler torpedo-bomber biplanes), not 72. Or do Wargaming think this ship was a TARDIS? It is possible/probable that this could have been boosted by 15-20, as Germany - like the UK - didn't count deck parks. Other than that quibble (there is no way she should be higher tiered than, say, HMS Illustrious or Ark Royal - or even Corageous or Glorious), I'm glad she's here. Looking forward to hearing those Stuka's scream! (As they swoop in low to deliver a torpedo...) Aaaaand it would take some serious vodka inhalation to regard a 109T or Ju97C as equivalent to other T8 aircraft... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
