Well I am gonna bring this thread back to were it was supposed to be

As you all expected, it is time for me to show my incapabilities to search for ships on the web

Todays topic will be.....Germany.
My thoughts are that alot of these ships might be fictional ships, but please prove me wrong

CV Kleist
CV Yorck
CV Clausewitz
CV Barbarossa (in the wif ship list written with the German "double s")
CVL Elbe
CA von Mackensen
CA Derfflinger



Not too hard. The germans didnt have any carriers except the halfdone "Graf Zeppelin", so all the CV and CVL are fictional.
The CA's are fictional too, Derfflinger was a WW1 BC's.

Werent there more fictional ships? I remember something like a BB "Friedrich d. Grosse" in WIF and some more BB's?

Well what you say is true, and yet it is not the entire truth. "Laid down I in 1938, the Peter Strasser, or Flugzeugträder B, was planned to be the sister ship of the Graf
Zeppelin. Construction were halted in 1939, and the hull was scrapped in 1940"

Furthermore the CA Seydlitz was being rebuilt into a carrier.
About "Fr. der Grosse", Ordered as the lead ship in its class, the Fredrich der Grosse was laid down in July 1939, but was scrapped due to the outbreak of the war

This is why I post these posts, although I am almost certain that some ships are fictional, there is this tiny possibility that I have missed some small remark in a book somewhere.

But yes there are indeed quite a few fictional ships included in the game.

For all the people who are working on text writeups for the units.

I have solved the problem I was having with using letters from non-English alphabets, so please use them where it is appropriate.

By non-English alphabets I mean Swedish, German, French, Danish, Dutch, etc..

Previously I was getting garbage replacements for those on the screen but the problem has been fixed.
