Da fudge! I thought T8 would be Peter Strasser

Oh well. Drop the needle!

As of now, the German Aircraft carriers concept offers the following peculiarities:

Airplanes have comparatively high cruise speed, but their HP pool is below average;

Attack aircraft use armor-piercing rockets. These rockets can deal high damage by hitting an enemy ship's citadel, but they allow a familiar counterplay: when they hit at an acute angle, they can ricochet or simply not penetrate the armor. Rockets fired at broadsided destroyers –with their thin armor– will result in overpenetrations that deal 10% of the maximum damage. Armor-piercing rockets can also ricochet against destroyers' end armor when the ship is bow-in to the planes. Therefore, a player's reaction against such rockets should be similar to the actions one would take against armor-piercing shells.

Bombers use armor-piercing bombs. Unlike the Japanese bombers, German ones dive immediately, without the prior altitude gain. Their drop zone is shaped like an elongated ellipse, and aiming it during an attack may be difficult. These bombs will be most effective against slower opponents.

The final shape of torpedobomber's launching cone is similar to that of Japanese and American torpedo bombers. The torpedoes have a range of 6 km.

The stats of these Aircraft carriers and Z-35, as well as the Z-35's concept will be published in the near future, stay tuned.

Tier VIII Soviet battleship V. I. Lenin, based upon the battleship Lenin, was added to the game. The new ship will be used for partner collaborations.

Wow so the German CVs are  going to be pretty bad in taking out DDs except for spotting. Perhaps DDs can breathe easy.

[TakemoriKohoto]

I thought this was some april fool stuff, then I check and damn it's third of april. Well guess what we get next is the Soviet Aircraft carrier and they gonna had plane armed with radar and one shot from the KS-1 Komet

[humusz]

Man, German CV is ugly AF. as expected of Muggle breed Conversion rather than Pure blooded Fleet Carrier. 

 

Manfred looks like Europa conversion aus F

[PGM991]

more CV? my guess is this new CV came with AP rocket 

as if current CV wasn't broken enough...

 

[Paladinum]

They didn't name the T8 Peter Strasser? 

That's one dislike for you, WG.

Perhaps they will save the name for yet another Premium CV ??? Who knows with wargaming.

[Skarhabek]

 

DD : WG, CV is ruining our game!

WG : we listen, AP Rocket and quick drop Dive bomber to destroy radar sheep.... Also Torpedo bomber is hard to use againts fast target.

DD : curse you WG!!, another CV line... We are dead;!!!

Well, looks like WGs answer to players concerns about CVs against DDs is to make a CV that is less effective against DDs.

Don’t you love how many of WG’s solutions is to introduce a new line rather than doing anything about existing lines.

Anyway, Now cruisers and BBs will be targeted, but that’s fine, as they have better AA, and Germans have low Hp.

I wonder if they will have faster generation rate to compensate?

Anyway, all this means is another line on permanent back burner for me. Still can’t play CVs on my network.

[PGM991]

whatever, I'm very good mood now.

just get a hand on Persona 5 Royal.

I'll remove WoWs from my cognitive world for a while.

World of CV for all the pussies who haven't got the skill to actually play a ship in World of Warships

[Paladinum]

Z-35 is a T9 while Z-39 is T7 and Z-23 is T8?  (To be fair, while Z-23 and Z-39 are in the same "class", and Z-35 is a different class, you can count Type 1936B as a subclass of Type 1936A/A Mob, just that there are many differences)

What will be gimmicks? EU torps? DAAF? Heal? 

Gladly the main guns are 128, which allows the option of BFT/AFT 

 

I expected some new designs, like Type 1938A/Ab or 1937J, not any of the 1936 designs.

Let them pave the way for Type 1945...

 

[Paladinum]

Shouldn't the T10 be "Manfred VON Richthofen"? 

NVM they explained it (watched the stream), the full name will have the "von"

Amen for that. I was expecting a tech tree clone of GZ.

Heh, at least WG also gave him the first name... *cough Roon, Hindenburg.

This carriers are way below my expected 'aesthetic' of a German line.

Barely evoke any sense of pride and accomplishment

T10 German CV will be defeated by Snoopy.
