Hildebrand — Germany Special Tier X Cruiser.

A large hybrid ship, originally an O-class cruiser, converted to function as an aircraft carrier. This design resembles the German "Atlantic cruiser-carrier" project developed in 1942. In addition to six main battery guns concentrated at the hull's bow, the ship received powerful auxiliary armament, including 150 mm secondary guns and 105 mm dual-purpose guns.

Pros

• Torpedo and HE bomber aircraft available with fast aircraft replenishment.
• Improved reload on the main guns for the caliber.
• Improved main battery dispersion.

Cons

• No main battery in the stern.
• Flight deck is weakly armored.
• Burns for an extended period of time.
