![]() ![]() ![]() ' Pocket battleship' is a British war-time insult. Yet in all Scharnhorst threads on this forum people keep arguing that its 11" (which are stronger than the ones on Deutschland) are not battleship guns because they're too small. (NOW you can have that heart attack and let the bloodletting begin!! LOL!!) IMHO, battlecruisers deserve a place in the World of Warships universe, and this particular battlecruiser would be a really great place to start. She also carried 2 Arado Ar 196 seaplanes. Either of these configurations could be used, as neither one of them is especially OP. In 1938, the 88 mm guns were removed, and six 105 mm (4.1 in) L/65 guns, four 37 mm (1.5 in) guns, and ten 20 mm (0.79 in) guns were installed in their place. Her anti-aircraft battery originally consisted of three 88 mm (3.5 in) L/45 guns, though in 1935 these were replaced with six 88 mm L/78 guns. In addition to her 6 11" guns, Graf Spee carried 8 150 mm secondaries, and 8 21" torpedo tubes located at the rear of the ship. Her 11" guns will make her MOST competitive, while not making her OP because her ROF would only be 2.7 shots per minute, which would be the same as Nassau. She will be a cruiser hunter, and the bane of DD's and carriers, while being able to outrun BB's of her tier. Graf Spee carries 6 11" guns in two turrets, one forward and one in the rear. At tier 5, Graf Spee needs NO modifications to her AA, she is just as underpowered in that dept. ![]() (Granted, for some of those cruisers it will be a very slow escape.)ģ. At tier 5, and 28.5 knots top speed, Graf Spee can be outrun by all cruisers in her tier, which she is also supposed to be able to do. At tier 5, and 28.5 knots top speed, Graf Spee can outrun all the BB's at her tier, which she is supposed to be able to do.Ģ. Yes, Tier 5!! (Read my arguments first before having that heart attack Arguments are always more fun when you have lots of facts to scream at each other.)ġ. And that is why I wish to propose the Admiral Graf Spee as a Tier 5 premium. With all the hub-bub about the new German BB's, I thought it might be nice to bring on a good German premium with which to raise Cain with the cruiser population and train Captains for all those BB's you'll be buying soon. ![]()
