Rating C (Weak within its tier and class · overall score 25) · Balanced cruiser
Germany's only aviation cruiser, a premium cruiser operating six 305 mm guns alongside an air group. HP is high at 57,200, but the flight deck lowers its armor efficiency, and a 28.4 kn top speed, slow even by battleship standards, makes maneuvering fights or solo pushes difficult. Its main battery reloads in 14.0 s for DPM 48% below average, but 13.32 km range and bow-on arcs make it decent for settling in and sniping. The engine rates its bombing damage low, but the wiki rates its air group as medium-carrier class, especially threatening to thin-armored cruisers. 10.44 km detectability is long, so positioning is key to survival.

A large hybrid ship, originally an O-class cruiser, converted to function as an aircraft carrier. This design resembles the German "Atlantic cruiser-carrier" project developed in 1942. In addition to six main battery guns concentrated at the hull's bow, the ship received powerful auxiliary armament, including 150 mm secondary guns and 105 mm dual-purpose guns.
