Country:  | the Graf Spee was completed and she was a pocket battleship i believe, the Graf Zepplin was the uncompleted carrier, but i don't think it'd make much difference, we'd have sent allot of power to meet her in the atlantic if she even made the break out.........

| Zeppelin's the one. Would've made things a bit more interesting though, even if it hadn't affected things in a big way. | |

Country:  | It certainly would have been interesting! Chances are though, the RN would have sunk her in fairly short order anyway.
On a slightly off-topic note (who, me?  ), I've often wished it was available in the game IL2:FB for those "What if" scenarios. | |

Country: | yeah we'd have made short work of it, we had experienced crews and far mor carriers with more planes on each, and dedicated torpedo bombers, the germans only had -109Ts and Ju-87s, the designation of which i can't remember.................

Country: | Ju-87C's I believe...
A match up between 109T's and Seafires would have been good.
