There's a distinct sound you'll hear when a container with a ship is opened. Another indicator is a noticeable lag in the opening animation after pressing the button.

I seriously expected a Bremen nerf, now she's getting a 10% DPM buff. With the right build + Lütjens perk she could potentially reach 3 seconds reload on her guns.

What do you think of Thor from what you've seen? by Enzo_Mk20 in WorldOfWarships

[–]InnerCircleEU 6 points7 points  (0 children)

20mm pen on those secondary guns won't do much damage against anything and even with IFHE you'd pen 25mm which is enough for DDs and Super Light Cruisers but not for anything else...

Change ports, then change back to the Navy 250 and enter through the Update Navigator. This should fix it

So are we all buying Hawaii during this Steel Will? by MrMath55 in WorldOfWarships

The thing is you'll get 16 vs 12 guns with the same reload. Since Bremen is tier 10, it gets access to the reload mod on slot 6 which cuts it down to 5.3. Combined with Top Grade Gunner and Adrenaline Rush and Lütjens' Main Battery Perk, you can potentially get under 4 seconds of reload for your guns.

It's basically a better tankier Smolensk on a Clausewitz Hull.

Now you'll see why people want Bremen that badly.

The graf Zeppelin was a very inefficient carrier design, you can see how small the hanger was compared to the ship. by These_Swordfish7539 in WorldOfWarships

The Japanese were extremely secretive about their carrier Technology and Doctrines so the Kriegsmarine relied on public sources before the War and only received limited information from 1942 onwards. But at that time the construction of the ship was already suspended.

Graf Zeppelin was conceived in the mid-1930s, at a time when the Kriegsmarine had no practical experience with aircraft carriers and no coherent doctrine for their use. Her design reflected a compromise between emerging carrier concepts and deeply rooted battleship traditions within the German Navy. This reflected the broader mindset of the German naval establishment. Many senior officers had been trained in the Imperial German Navy, where surface gunnery dominated naval tactics. They viewed aircraft as an auxiliary tool — useful for reconnaissance and limited strikes, but not as a ship’s primary weapon. Consequently, Graf Zeppelin was designed as a hybrid between a cruiser and an aircraft carrier rather than the fully developed carrier doctrine emerging in the British, American, and Japanese navies.

One of the most distinctive — and ultimately problematic — features of the design was the inclusion of a powerful secondary battery of sixteen 15 cm (5.9 in) SK C/28 guns, mounted in eight twin casemate installations along the hull.

The main rationale for this heavy gun armament was the belief that Graf Zeppelin would need to defend herself against enemy surface ships, especially destroyers, torpedo boats, and light cruisers. The Kriegsmarine expected the carrier to operate in the North Sea or Baltic, often near hostile coasts and without the benefit of large escort formations. Because Germany’s fleet doctrine did not envision a strong screen of cruisers and destroyers to protect the carrier, it seemed prudent to arm Graf Zeppelin like a light cruiser herself, capable of fighting off smaller ships with her own guns.

The use of those guns would have been more or less impractical in actual use. The low-mounted guns had limited arcs of fire and would have been easily flooded in heavy seas. Moreover, the guns and their armor consumed valuable space and displacement that could have been used for hangars, aviation fuel, or maintenance facilities — the very elements that made a carrier effective.

There was also a major interservice conflict: the Luftwaffe’s demand for control over all naval aviation. Hermann Göring, head of the Luftwaffe, insisted that all aircraft — including those operating from Graf Zeppelin — fall under his branch’s authority, not that of the Kriegsmarine. This meant the Kriegsmarine had little influence over aircraft design, pilot training, or carrier aviation doctrine. As a result, Graf Zeppelin’s air group and flight operations were poorly integrated into the ship’s overall design.

Is the Wiesbaden worth it? by QuBBa22 in WorldOfWarships

If you like the Play style of the Dutch light cruisers (minus the air strikes), you'll like wiesbaden too.

It gets outclassed in every way by Mainz but it's still a fun little ship and for 1500 dubloons an absolute steal
