FrozenAoD Posted June 6, 2016 Report Share Posted June 6, 2016 With the general lack of German Carriers, I know that I will have to depend on Diplomatic channels for most of my Carriers till later years(most likely Japan for me), but its there a chance SMS Stuttgart makes an appearance? or is her time frame a little too early to be included?

Wellington99 Posted June 6, 2016 Report Share Posted June 6, 2016 FAoD; Already scrapped, alas! For air support, you will need to reply on Diplomatic Channels, or improve your Bases. Because Germany focused more on UBoats and their army/Air Force than carriers, unlike the Japanese and British and Americans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrozenAoD Posted June 7, 2016 Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 Because Germany focused more on UBoats and their army/Air Force than carriers, unlike the Japanese and British and Americans I know...I was just hoping to be able to catch a scrap...But looks like Im going to be depending on Japan for their Carriers.

For now at least. They did confirm we will eventually get Graf Zeppelin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockyArby Posted June 7, 2016 Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 I wonder what kind of personality Graf Zeppelin will have considering her service history won't be that diverse or extensive? I imagine her as a bit of a shut-in or someone aggressively trying to prove their worth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrYuriMom Posted June 7, 2016 Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 Or worse. She wasn't treated very well. Totally at the whim of Hitler's mood. And what the Soviet's did to her. Poor thing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrozenAoD Posted June 7, 2016 Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 On the other end she could have a bit of an impatient personality to, due to her constant delays and wanting to see action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrozenAoD Posted June 7, 2016 Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 An ojou-sama-esque character? Haughty or Arrogant Front nature due to her pride in her specs, however she is hiding having a fear of being thrown away, discarded or being viewed as useless. Or on the other hand have a yandere-esque character who latches on to the captain due to fear of mentioned above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrYuriMom Posted June 7, 2016 Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 Belles' personalities draw from their home port and their namesake as well as their history as a ship. I guess a lot will depend on how BCS fits her in. Will they assume she was completed more or less reasonably on schedule? Or will she be introduced after she's been a hot potato for a while?

RockyArby Posted June 7, 2016 Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 I would like the idea of her being a hot potato but as mentioned BCS has final say. I also like to imagine she doesn't like sharing. Hitler ordering her stripped of her armaments to support other units. Put a chip on anyone's shoulder about "sharing". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Historynerd Posted June 7, 2016 Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 Yep, it will come. The date, clearly, will be fictitious. If that's the case, I'd like to know if likewise there are any plans to implement the Aquila for the Regia Marina. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted June 7, 2016 Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 Historynerd; No comment! But as we go along in the Story, 'paper' ships will grow in importance to those navies which historically didn't have a significant build program during the War.

But as we go along in the Story, 'paper' ships will grow in importance to those navies which historically didn't have a significant build program during the War. Alright. However, let me comment that, by what I gather, the Aquila came closer to completion (ship-wise, as her aircraft complement was going to be a pain, I admit) than the Graf Zeppelin did (as the former performed static engine trials, and was preparing to perform full sea trials by October 1943). So, I don't quite see how the Aquila is that much paper-y than the Graf Zeppelin... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted June 7, 2016 Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 Well, at least in the sense that it never was commissioned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Historynerd Posted June 7, 2016 Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 Well, at least in the sense that it never was commissioned. Neither was Graf Zeppelin, as far as I know. So, paper doesn't beat paper, if you allow me the pun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alright, I just wondered why the two cases should be treated differently; given that neither ship was actually completed and commissioned, I don't see why the Graf Zeppelin could be considered less of a paper-ship than the Aquila. Nothing more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
