Armor-piercing rockets can also ricochet against destroyers’ end armor when the ship is bow-in to the planes. Rockets fired at broadsided destroyers –with their thin armor– will result in overpenetrations that deal 10% of the maximum damage. 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. Just like the rest of the German carriers, we have no idea about the penetration capacity of the AP bombs and rockets and the secondaries have the standard dispersion formula.Īs of now, the German Aircraft carriers concept offers the following peculiarities:Īirplanes have comparatively high cruise speed, but their HP pool is below average Īttack aircraft use armor-piercing rockets. It is, indeed, likely that these ships would have received a reduced gun battery but with more dual-purpose batteries. In World of Warships, the August Parseval is, however, presenting what would have possibly been the specifications of the second pair of ships initially planned for the Graf Zeppelin-class (Flugzeugträger C and D). All work on the ship ended in September 1939 and the hull, completed up to the armored deck was scrapped starting from February 1940. However, even with her great displacement, the ship was only able to carry a bit more than 40 planes. This means that she was meant to carry a heavy anti-surface battery with a mix of dual-purpose 105 mm guns and casemate mounted 150 mm guns. Initially, I thought that it was based on the Flugzeugträger B but this ship was meant to be completed the same way as her sister ship. The August Parseval is based on the Graf Zeppelin-class of aircraft carriers from the Kriegsmarine.
