===Pros===
<!--

PERFORMANCE SECTION GUIDELINES
* Pro 2
1.  Write a brief intro paragraph of 1-3 sentences.
2.  Write 1-3 paragraphs of "meat".  Talk about what the ship does well, what it doesn't, how it compares to same tier ships of the same type, how it compares to the previous ship in the tech tree, whatever.  Try to avoid quoting vital statistics to players unless it is really relevant (i.e. concealment); they can see those in the sidebar on the right and don't need them read back. 
3.  Write a brief summary paragraph of 1-3 sentences highlighting the key takeaways from the paragraphs above.
-->
''{{#var:ship_name}}'' is a carrier that specializes in dealing irreparable damage to all ship classes. Her high average plane speed lets her quickly react to enemy movements and provides support anywhere on the map. However, this comes at the cost of fragile squadrons and low plane reserves.


===Cons===
* Con 1
* Con 2


'''Attack Aircraft:'''


Unlike most other carriers, ''{{#var:ship_name}}'s'' attack aircraft carry armor-piercing rockets. One squadron contains 9 aircraft divided into 3 strikes that each fire 12 rockets. With its high speed, agility, and short machine gun period, this armament is consistent against agile targets. These munitions are similar to cruiser AP and can citadel most cruisers. However, this also causes over-penetrations on destroyers and ricochets at extreme angles. Because of this, captains must always aim for ship broadsides.

''{{#var:ship_name}}'s'' torpedo bombers are an intermediate squadron to be used when the other squadrons are returning to the hull. As the fastest carrier-based torpedoes with a short arming distance, this armament deals damage with consistency. However, each torpedo deals a small amount of damage. Each squadron consists of 9 aircraft with a strike consisting of 3 planes that launch 1 torpedo each. Finally, her torpedo armament comes with an in-flight repair consumable allowing for increased survivability against ships with high AA.

''{{#var:ship_name}}'s'' dive bombers carry armor-piercing bombs that deal heavy damage. A full squadron consists of 12 aircraft with a strike consisting of 3 planes each dropping 1 bomb. While each bomb has high alpha damage, they have poor accuracy as the bombs often fall towards the outer edges of the reticle.

Her dive bombers also come with an in-flight repair consumable in exchange for lower individual plane health, allowing for improved survivability during strikes.

''{{#var:ship_name}}'' is a well-armored aircraft carrier that travels at 32 knots and features a 50mm armored flight deck. While no armor-piercing shells can penetrate her flight deck, high caliber high explosive shells that penetrate 50mm can damage her from any range. Her hull features a 60mm icebreaker, turtleback armor scheme, 14km base ship concealment, and a thick armor belt (145-150mm). While based on ''[[Ship:Friedrich der Große|Friedrich der Große]]’s'' hull, ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' is covered in standard 19mm aircraft carrier plating.


Much like the other German aircraft carriers, ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' features a secondary battery with increased range and improved dispersion. However, her secondary battery firing angles are poor and require large amounts of broadside to bring all guns to bear. Investing in a secondary build is not recommended due to bad firing angles and the weakness of aircraft carrier hulls at close range.

* If using rockets against destroyers, change the angle of attack to ~55 degrees, so that the rockets can arm and deal heavy damage.

Players are encouraged to prioritize researching dive bombers first for the damage boost. Torpedo bombers should come second as they gain more speed than attack aircraft, and are used against all kind of targets, whereas attack aircraft are only used against cruisers. Attack aircraft should be researched last.

'''Upgrade Slot 5''' offers players A choice between '''Flight Control Modification 1''' and '''Squadron Consumables Modification 1''', which adds 50% to the length of all consumables. Players wishing to have more responsive fighters and longer heals can take this upgrade in in combination with repair specialist to get 8.2 second heals on their Dive and Torpedo Bombers . As for fighters, with Enhanced reactions, search and destroy and patrol group leader you can extend the fighter duration to more then 1.5 minutes post 0.10.4.

As a carrier, ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' has no risk of detonating.


*Note: Carriers burn at 1% health per a second while all other ships burn at 0.3% a second. So even though Carriers burn for only 5 seconds for each fire, if caught off of DCP, multiple fires can be set over and over again making a carrier lose more health to fires than any surface ship within a short duration. Also, Tier X carriers have tier 6 fire reduction coefficient which makes them 30% more likely to be caught on fire than Tier X surface ships.

Manfred von Richthofen is a concept design for a heavy aircraft carrier. The hangers, flight deck, and superstructure are built on top of a converted H-class battleship.  No evidence is available to support this ship design from a historical basis. 
 
In 1938 the German Oberkommando der Marine (Naval High Command) started to draw up a plan of what it would take to rival the British Royal Navy.  This updating and expansion plan for the Kriegsmarine (German Navy) was approved and ordered in January 1939 as “Plan Z”. 
 
Plan Z called for 10 battleships and 4 aircraft carriers as the main force to engage the Royal Navy.  An additional 58 cruisers, 68 destroyers, and 90 U-boats were also ordered, at a cost of 33 billion Reichsmarks. Set to be completed by 1940, they were intended to attack British shipping lanes and support the main German fleet.  By the outbreak of World War II only 8 months later in September 1939, very little work on the new ships had been started. Plan Z was canceled as wartime priorities shifted the materials and labor force to more immediate needs.  By the end of the war only a few major ships were completed, all of which had been ordered prior to the creation of Plan Z.
 
Based on the trend in historical documents of their proposed aircraft carrier design evolution, it is likely Germany may have planned and attempted to convert other ships into carriers to save time and resources.  If they had continued down the path of Plan Z, a similar design might have been developed.  However, only two H-class battleships were laid down before construction was halted at the start of the war, and neither hull was far enough along to even consider converting them into carriers.

Manfred von Richthofen — Germany Tech Tree Tier X Aircraft Carrier.

A hypothetical variation of a heavy German aircraft carrier based on the unfinished H-39 class battleship hull. It is assumed that by the time the construction of the battleship was halted, her hull would have been fully shaped, and the main propulsion plant and electrical plant machinery would also have been installed. With such a configuration, she would have been one of the largest ships in the world, second only to Japanese Shinano.
