Loses a tiny bit of DPS for increased range. The Kaga loses on the 2nd fight because WG's biased for german 2nd but at the end of the day the aircraft carriers are going to die against most ships that get close enough. The AA is also is pretty comparable at long range. Sure Kaga goes a tiny bit slower than the ranger, but the Graf zep still isn't lightning fast for tier 7 CVs. Also, 5 203mm and 6 127mm on a side are no comparison to 8 150mm and 12 105mm, especially given that the IJN secondaries are not particularly fast-firing. Kaga is slow and has fairly limited AA relative to GZ. BTW GZ wasn't a bad design, it was actually a very good design that had a lot of teething problems some due to the Stuka's heavy weight. Otherwise the ship and planes are easily tier 8. Your best and only argument for T8 is the limited plane complement, if historical would make this a T5/6 CV at best. 7 inch shells used as dive bombs did minimal damage to the armored flight deck and a torpedo fired didn't even make it through the torp bulge. The ship itself proved very durable in post war test conducted by the Soviets. The 109 was the premium fighter of 1941, so not sure how you can call 109s and Stukas for that matter obsolete by 41? Were Vals and Dauntless obsolete by 41 ? Neither was replaced till later 1944!! As far as training, if the GZ would have been operational, say 1940/41 you can believe the Germans would have trained well and hard, as they did in any military unit. British were flying Swordfish and Americans Devastators, so a Stuka dive bomber would be just fine, very similar to a Val or Dauntless. IF the Germans completed the GZ, the planes would have be just fine. Have you ever heard the phrase you can't polish a turd, with the Graf Zepplin maybe Wargaming should stop trying to polish it and drop her a couple of tiers where it will be easier to compete with her foreign counterparts? The planes that were planned to fly from the Graf Zepplin were OBSOLETE in 1941.again tier 4 or 5.6 tops.
She was a BAD design AND the first effort at building an aircraft carrier.sounds like Tier 4 or 5 to me. I understand getting new ships into the game is how Wargaming makes money but why would the Graf Zepplin be Tier 8? For starters, Germany had no experience building aircraft carriers and naval aviation in general.
