Manfred von Richthofen
Tier X · Aircraft Carrier · Germany
Rating B (Average within its tier and class · overall score 51) · Hybrid-strike carrier
A German tech-tree tier-X carrier that deals steady damage with AP-bomb bombers and strong torpedo bombers. AP bombs can't start fires but have a high citadel chance, making them especially threatening to thin-armored cruisers. Per-strike torpedo damage of 23,716 is 79% above average, but each squadron has many aircraft, so launch and restoration take long, making it tricky to time with the bombers. The ship has good armor and HP plus Secondary Overload and Sonar, giving it decent close-range defense for a carrier. However, its aircraft are fragile and it tends to run short of planes late in the match.

A design for completing an H-class battleship as a heavy aircraft carrier. She is a large-sized ship with armor protection that is quite good for her ship type, coupled with a very powerful AA complement.
