August von Parseval — Germany Tech Tree Tier VIII Aircraft Carrier.

Graf Zeppelin-class ships were equipped with classic steam turbine propulsion. The lead aircraft carrier, in particular, had geared-turbine units and boilers manufactured in Switzerland. However, the Germans believed that for raider ships to have a long cruising range and adequate speed, it was absolutely necessary for their main propulsion plants to be of the diesel type. Their successive raider aircraft carriers would likely have been equipped with a diesel propulsion plant.

Pros

• Evasive Maneuvers consumable available on dive bomb and torpedo planes
• High secondary battery efficiency
• Fast torpedoes with below average damage and low arming distance available
• Above average plane speed

Cons

• AP only rockets and dive bombs
• Planes have a small HP pool
