I have decided to keep this rather short, as the numbers speak for themselves. For the most expensive T8 CV the ship does not offer any return of investment or fun mechanics and should be avoided. The secondary gimmick is misplaced on a ship that should avoid direct contact with enemy ships. The planes of the GZ, range from average to garbage. I own all other available premium CVs and I’d rather play Ark Royal in a T8 battle. I had tried to make it work in COOP and was more than disappointed. What you can expect is a lot of misses and bounces. No one asked for this change, but WG decided to implement it. That wouldn't be a large problem, if the WG didn't change the attack pattern towards a player unfriendly level flight, that makes the planes drop the bombs in a glide towards the side of the ship. The flight drops a total of two bombs into a circle. When it comes to offensive potential, GZ DBs are an empty joke. The restoration time is third slowest on the second smallest squadron size, makes sense right? The HP is the second lowest, so don't expect the planes to return. Though obviously never seeing action in reality, Kriegsmarine players are afforded new tactical options in Victory at Sea with the opportunity to include this carrier in their fleet.Oh, boy. The Carrier was captured by the Soviet Union at the end of the war, and was sunk as a target ship in 1947. The Graf Zeppelin was almost completed in 1943 but Hitler, disappointed with the Kriegsmarine, halted all surface fleet construction. However, with the role of the carrier proving itself in the Battle of Taranto, in the sinking of the Bismarck and at Pearl Harbour and Midway prompted construction to briefly continue.

Construction on the ship that would eventually be christened Graf Zeppelin was eventually halted in 1940. Whilst four aircraft carriers of the class had originally been planned, constant in-fighting between the Kriegsmarine and Luftwaffe, as well as a priority on the building of U-Boats hampered their construction, with the planned four carriers quickly reduced to two. Though laid down and launched before the start of the war, the Graf Zeppelin was never completed or commissioned, and it never saw action.
