I know that WoWs Numbers is not a Conclusive Result.
And anyone is Free to Post the Current Maplesyrup Results for T8 CVs.
As I currently cant reach it as the Script for some Reason doesnt seem to like my new Computer with Windows 10.....
But even tough. Given that lately GZ was just Nerfed, Nerfed and Nerfed again by the Indirect Effects of Changes. Its unlikely that GZ would look better in Actual than in Overall Stats.
GZ reliable for both the Standard and the B Variant is the absolute Bottom of the List in almost Everything.
Exp, WR, Damage, Kills, K/D....
Only thing where by some Miracle its not Rock bottom is Aircraft Shot Down.....
This isnt Surprising.
In the Update for Dive Bombers. Its DBs lost its Primary use of Fast Repeating Attacks. And they already were almost useless thanks to the Horrible Accuracy.
With the Change to the Rocket Reticle the Rockets have become pretty much Useless too. Being so Incredible Bad in their Dispersion that even at Broadside they can barely Hit a Cruiser.
And the Torpedo Bombers which are by now the only usable Squadron it has. Are pretty much Average at Best.
With the Buff to Fighter Speed and the General Availability of Fighter Skills. Its ability to Outrun Fighters has gone down the Drain.
And its low HP Aircraft Suffer from the additional AA Skills that Cruisers now have because Cruisers are the Primary Target of GZ due to its Inability of Hunting DDs Reliably.
Then Finally. Thanks to the Commander Skill Rework. GZ also Lost its last and one Remaining Strongpoint of its massive Secondary Battery which allowed it to even Stand its Ground against Battleships.
Now that it can no longer use IFHE. The Overwhelming Majority of its DPS which Sits in the 105mm Guns can no longer Penetrate Battleships.
And as GZ already had Dispersion smaller than even most Destroyers. The additional Bonus Dispersion from the 4 Point Skill it gets isnt really worth much either.
Even worse. Using Concealment kills its Only Plane Advantage of Fast Planes as these Planes Simply wont Survive Retreat in AA when Flying Half Speed and also you dont have the Reserves to wait for them.
Effectively. Graf Zeppelin which already was pretty much the Weakest T8 CV has been Nerfed more and more lately. And by now is Honestly Said pretty much a Handicap to Play.
As such I wonder.
Are there any Plans to Finally give her some Love ?
