@@JRedNose, she probably thinks that *any* small shipgirl is a destroyer, due to a probable head injury. The history behind what that injury represents is... interesting.
The answer that should be canon is this: Shikikan rapes Graf Zeppelin. Graf Zeppelin remains pregnant, becomes nihillistic and hateful of everything because of the traumatic experience. 9 months later, the child is born, and Zeppelin names her after herself, in order to deny the event.
@@andreikovacs3476 Thanks for the suggestion. My headcanon is going to be something that isn't that. Cheers for showing us all what not to do when coming up with headcanon
This was a really good video! Most videos on units just read their stats and that’s it, but you went into further detail on what these stats mean, your opinions on everything, and where she fits in. I’m looking forward to watching more of these 😁
I’ve been watching the whole series and this came out as I was binging. I’m new to the game and this channel, but these vids are amazing. You’ve definitely earned my subscribe :))
Another Helpful video! (like always) Keep up the Good work Hawk! Looking forward to more of this! P.s. Prinz Eugen is pronounced as; Pinz U-g-en or U-gen (like the first syllable on generation), in English that is but in German your pronunciation is correct (Why do i bother, you probably knew how to say it and pronounce it by now)
The only problem that i have with her or IBF in general is that... *I don't have them* Majority Anyway. Cause i join the game in mid of crimson echo, so i missed out on an entire faction.
If I'm correct, any ship with a little version of them, ( or a "chan" ) are considered to be their mothers. Ex. Zeppy and Graf Zepplin, Prinz Eugen, Little Eugen. apparently, thats what the fandom says lol
Love momma Zeppelin~ She’s perfect in PvE and great for PvP even with her slow reload. It’s so slow that all skills from any ship in the game are on cooldown when she launches strikes and it’s easy for her to take out any remaining targets after the first wave of attacks. Just gotta use her right~
The 12/22/20 patch had her Aviation and Reload actually got boosted with the patch (hard to tell what with the change of the 125 patch) At max limit break she can use a torpedo bomber in her third slot. Her "Iron Blood Wings" skill now boosts her aviation for each Iron blood ship (up to 3, I assume including her too, 5% each). Her "Iron Blood Hawk" Gives the efficiency boost to all slots if one has german planes. A new German TB (introduced with the gear lab) is ideal for this as it's akin to the Ryusei and leaves other slots for better Fighters and DBs. About making the German TB, the Heinkel He 50b (He-50b) can be gotten from T2 or T3 Ironblood boxes, though I think the early story stuff of Operation Siren gives you I think one of those or an Arado Ar 195 (Ar 195 in EN game text). You can just upgrade from there.
=.= Ark Royal is a Destroyercon, not a Lo---yeah that word. Plus need to keep in mind. A lot of the Destroyers she stalks are pretty much OLDER than her.
In regards to Graf Zeppelin, her reload and damage output gets much, much better with Bismarck in the fleet. And as for Roon, she is best DPS output CA in the game. As for the dodge on CAs... that is unfortunate but it can be remedied with equip. Especially with the new equipment, not to mention that lvl 120 upgrade solves it for late game content. Check the level 120 eveasion stats too when looking at CAs. That aside, your content is great and I love it! Continue being great!
The graf zeppelin was a Germany’s first(and last) CV, and like many of other countries first purpose built carriers she had a list of problems, but in this case the, issues in question made the ship all but useless in it’s intended role. The biggest of these was her artillery batterie, she had more 8in guns then most heavy cruisers, along with this she had as much Armour as most battleships. “Why is this a problem?” You might ask, because this takes up hanger space, if a CV is in a gun duel with another warship something has gone horribly wrong. Another big issue was that by 1944, the Germans were pretty much out of planes, this is compounded by the fact that you can’t just put a 109 on a carrier unless you really don’t like that pilot, and they lacked the capacity to produce a naval fighter variant. Assumeing she ever got her aircraft, from what I understand, there were also some issues with her elevators and catapults that limited there effectiveness greatly. All in all, the Kriegsmarine were probably better off with out her. She was eventually captured and used as target practice by the Soviets because they had no better use for her, she proved to be so tough that they would eventually have to use scuttling charges to sink the ship. Also, “superior German technology” is BS, certainly during world war 2 and I can give three examples off the top of my head. Yes, I know it’s a joke, I really don’t care, Im sick of hearing in the context of WW2 and this is a good a place as any to vent my frustration. High pressure machinery, and on that note, destroyer warfare in general, as drachinfel put it, German destroyers believe that they were pretzels. Cryptology(thanks Poland and every one else that helped in that effort) Radar(Not to say they didn’t have it, but they definitely lagged behind the allies during the war) Oh and while we’re here, I would like to remind everyone that the Tiger P exists(well it did, and then it caught on fire after trying to go up a small hill).
"They would have been better off without her" No they needed her and more CVs and CVLs sooner, their inability to project strong and consistent Air Support is what cost them the war multiple times over.
I got a theory that Chessboard rerun is closer than you think. In the final dialogue scene of Scherzo one of the sirens, I think it's Observer, says (something along the lines of) "now for a game of chess". Mere speculation, but that could be an easter egg...
Glorious German Mama! She was my flagship until Mommy Bismarck dropped, and even now she' still in my main fleet. She works great as both a mob-killer due to the sheer number of bombs she drops, and as a boss killer thanks to two dive bombers at 170% efficiency (She can actually keep pace with Enterprise in terms of damage, OWARI DA notwithstanding). Plus her L2D skin is the thing of legends.
I'm pretty surprised I haven't seen anyone mention the Graf Zeppelin+Z25+Tirpitz or Bismarck combo. It's a combo that makes Tirpitz or Bismarck when they're set as the flagship ridiculously tanky, but do keep in mind that the damage reduction has huge diminishing returns when you try to stack it any higher.
As a KMS main player of CN , I once thought Zeppelin is underpowered but when I actually start using her , her 15% decrease on damage received for all KMS ships , makes those ship from being beefy to literally a undying level of Tanky . German bombers also give that nice volume of bombs that makes her damage surprisingly good , though her fighters are definitely bad for the low damage , I would pick some other nation`s fighter instead of the German ones
Wait...the Ju-87 have max 5 planes right? It got "x5" instead of the usual "x3". Like the Swordfish torpedo bomber only drop two torpedoes instead of the usual three because it has "x2".
Of course her skill and safe stack. While I have not done the math on Junkers vs Helldivers, for sure you would never want a Messerschmidt unless all your other AA was garbage due to their lack of bombs.
Ironblood, also known as the "event only fleet". I swear more than half of the iron blood ships come from events. No, I'm not salty that I missed divergent chessboard and fallen wings because I was low level and had no access to the internet because I was on holiday...
you forgot that Bisco have KMS buff +dmg on carriers and +rld stats also i played this game back at the start of Divergent Chessboard, Graf Zep was my very first SSR followed by Tirp and Prinz from login streak great vid as usual looking forward to PE review since she is the first ship i married
For the stacking skills question: ALL skills stack so long as they don't have the same name or expressly say they don't stack. Which makes for a very abusable system with the right combination >u>
Mama Graf = Glorious German Engineering Gone Wrong. S Tier Design and top tier Waifu material but as far as combat goes she's only effective in Iron Blood fleets and when i say that i mean she's in "Alright i guess" tier at most. Ffor being the only SR Carrier in Iron Blood she's seriously undewhelming and needs retrofit ASAP.
Well i need them for longer fights as well, and her swimsuit worth to buy even it's extremely expensive (1180 gems) *So yeah a good descent sr ship carrier*
Easiest way to use Graff is by running a Z fleet. Since DDs are squishy, but with with Z1 and the fact DDs have high EVA makes them near unsinkable because even if they do get hit the damage will be negligable. I use a Z fleet for PVP even lol.
@@Hawk2zer0 The Bismarck buff also works on her fighters, bringing them up to reasonable line with some other great fighters. I use a T3 Aviation tank. less AVI, but gives her aircraft that little bit more hp to survive AA.
Then the Op. Siren buff came out and she became one of the top tier carries and single handedly made IB the best mob fleet in the game... at least until the Italians came out.
A year late but something weird happen to me, I somehow get KMS Graf Zeppelin a seconds ago and after doing some research, this is an event ship. Is anyone know why I have her during an off-event time ?
Ok, will wait for that rerun then.Only found this game when that event was ending. Good thing that I was able to snatch Deutschland at the very last day of the event.
Yeah, wasn't really understanding anything at that point in time. My friend simply said to try and get her since she will be needed for something later, so I did try =)
I would use ironblood ships, but the majority of them are event exclusive. For someone who started playing at the very end of the winter's crown event in march of this year, you don't have a lot of access to that faction unfortunately.
Agreed. I was lucky and started playing 3 days before Divergent Chessboard started. Sweated the whole time, cause I ended up with 6 copies of Z46 throughout the whole event, but didn't get my single copy of Tirp and Graf till the final day. Back to back. With my last 4 cubes. Many, many sacrifices happened that night. Many bloody sacrifices.
Man, Iron Blood is my fav Empery and yet I have the least Iron Blood ships out of all the emperies. Daaaamnn, ever since I learned about Graf Zepelin I have always wanted her. When is the rerun of DC anyways?
Will do when I focus on Bismark...I don't plan to cover direct buffs from other characters...unless I talk about the character (Amagi, QE, Bismarck, etc)
keep in mind guys, if you just drop the fighter for a SeaFang or Hellcat, you are ok and gonna do more dmg because they have bombers on them, and the german doesnt.
I was thinking about it...but wasn't sure how to incorporate it in... Sadly, the only fly left to right and don't actually "dive" to make that noise... Now I kinda wish they made it a thing in the game...
@@Hawk2zer0 You probably could've had it happen with the depiction of her planes attacking, having it fade out as the bombs land or something like that. Didn't ha ve to be perfect... ah well, there's always Zeppy. Even if she's ages down the list XD
Looks like the list will be 40% complete next year August. It just keeps growing. Also shouldn't Lexington & Saratoga count as one as they are sisters?
This is part of the reason I've been working to find the right schedule for videos...I'm aiming to get at least 1 if not 2 a week. As for Saratoga and Lexington, yes they are sisters, but I'm only covering characters together if they are the exact same in terms of stats and skills (like Fusou/Yamashiro).
Tobi Madara yeah I made sure I definitely got those all. Eventually we will get events I missed but who knows how long that will take. I’ll stay optimistic though. It’s all can do. 😅🤷🏻♂️
roon is actually pretty good, both tanky and good barrage, with HE and AP alternativ, so the dmg is quite average out even againt lgith and medium armour enemy, she could rival backline and elite DD(laffey/ayanami...etc) in dmg done
Showing the use of a certain faction, the buffs coming out from a build (i.e Graff buffs out Iron Blood so as Bismarck in this patch thus granting them a decent power to compete) or do it as in general, show the main selling point of the faction (HMS As the Hot Maid Ships, jk, like HMS ship has a well rounded CL, a defensive/supportive CV, and an good - on par bb) and compare them to each other. Or for an apple to apple i think making it by their classes would be nice as well like The Iron Blood cruiser are well known for their Shields Sturdy Armour etc, The US Cruisers are known for the DPS and well rounded stuff. I could interpret it wrong here cause English is not my first language (apologies for that)but, i tried my best to explain it.
Please note that -The Ju dive bombers suck. They have such a spread out attack, you'll be lucky if more than 4 bombs hit a ship. On top of that, the majority of her bombs are 100 pound, doing tickle damage. -also you are locked in with the ME fighter plane which has no bombs of its own further lessening the damage. -there are few good KMS ships unlke HMS, IJN, USS so cant have good synergy. If you want a country-themed fleet, go with any other country. -KMS fleet is pretty expensive. There Tirp, Bis, Graf, and the expensive heavy cruisers. (76 oil) i think she is pretty weak, even with the new kms Bismarck. but definitely better once you get Roon
If you have her, I'd reccommend looking into replacing Laffey with Z1. She's a bit frail, but she has solid torp stats, benefits from all the Ironblood buffs, and effectively turns Z23 into a heavy cruiser.
Graf will always outdamage enty if lucky E fail to proc. I used both of them along with ark in aviation daily challange a lot. Shes one of the ship that base skin is far better than sold skin imo, which another one being that US destroyer I forgot her name was. Her huge damage output and slow reload suit the boss fleet more, while zeppy are born to clear mob. I mean, she probably wont even attack once if your vanguard are good, or just attack at the end when low enemy hp left. At least in boss, you can hold the airstrike till the boss came out, and smash it with the hail of 1000 pound german finest iron.
I knew i wasnt the only one seeing her gems...JU-87 is only second to helldiver in terms of dps (or so they say) Having two slots of those coupled with more than 160% efficiency does real scary dmg.. And she makes kms a lot tankier... Damn i knew she's real good..just not appreciated much...
Amagi±GrafZeppelin allows the Z Fleet to tank for daysssssssssssssssssssssssssss. Also, pretty sure that it for stacks with every damage reduction you can slap, including the safety feature. Also, would suggest to use Hellcat instead or the pirate squad on her. Ironblood fighters dont carry bombs and hurts her damage potential.
@Hawk2zer0 take a look at Leipzig when you get a chance. She actually an iron blood vanguard keystone and she will steal MVP from roon from time to time
All the Iron Bloods are such beauty. I oathed them all.

Sweated the whole time, cause I ended up with 6 copies of Z46 throughout the whole event, but didn't get my single copy of Tirp and Graf till the final day. Back to back. With my last 4 cubes. Many, many sacrifices happened that night. Many bloody sacrifices.
Man, Iron Blood is my fav Empery and yet I have the least Iron Blood ships out of all the emperies. Daaaamnn, ever since I learned about Graf Zepelin I have always wanted her. When is the rerun of DC anyways?
Not sure myself...I would imagine soon
how many sacrifices for her event to come back
If you go by when it ran on the CHN/JPN servers it's end of June thru mid July
@@mychaeldark1007 poggers
its back right now so summon away. Got her after 40 cubes.
Is the Bismark buff a must for her to be competitive or not really?
Damn it Birb, Bismarck was on the list last time!
My list didn't have them in for some reason...so I put them back in!
Don't worry!
Probably shoulda mentioned Bismark's Zeppy buff.
Will do when I focus on Bismark...I don't plan to cover direct buffs from other characters...unless I talk about the character (Amagi, QE, Bismarck, etc)
@@Hawk2zer0 yeah I only mention it because it's a buff just for her, and if you're going to run KMS you're either running Bismark or you're meme'ing.
keep in mind guys, if you just drop the fighter for a SeaFang or Hellcat, you are ok and gonna do more dmg because they have bombers on them, and the german doesnt.
*Did a video about Graf Zeppelin and mentioned her stukas*
*Didn't use a Stuka Siren Sound Effect*
Son, I am disappoint
I was thinking about it...but wasn't sure how to incorporate it in...
Sadly, the only fly left to right and don't actually "dive" to make that noise...
Now I kinda wish they made it a thing in the game...
@@Hawk2zer0 You probably could've had it happen with the depiction of her planes attacking, having it fade out as the bombs land or something like that. Didn't ha ve to be perfect... ah well, there's always Zeppy. Even if she's ages down the list XD
@@coenisgreat *really wishes the dive bombers would actually dive down on targets*
Looks like the list will be 40% complete next year August. It just keeps growing.
Also shouldn't Lexington & Saratoga count as one as they are sisters?
This is part of the reason I've been working to find the right schedule for videos...I'm aiming to get at least 1 if not 2 a week.
As for Saratoga and Lexington, yes they are sisters, but I'm only covering characters together if they are the exact same in terms of stats and skills (like Fusou/Yamashiro).
@@Hawk2zer0
Right, okay. As long as you enjoy it then it shouldn't be a pain to make.
By far my favorite ship and the second ship I’ve ever oathed
Sad Boi
Who’s your first?
CancerLane Shrines Z23 was because she was my starter
Grafs actual irl lore is really depressing. Treat her right Shikikans.
I’m kinda bummed I started playing on February of this year. I don’t have Tirpitz,Zeppelin or Spee which I really want. 😅
Reruns will come by, eventually.
Hopefully you got the kizuna ships tho
Tobi Madara yeah I made sure I definitely got those all. Eventually we will get events I missed but who knows how long that will take. I’ll stay optimistic though. It’s all can do. 😅🤷🏻♂️
Is there a way to get the iron blood ships ?
roon is actually pretty good, both tanky and good barrage, with HE and AP alternativ, so the dmg is quite average out even againt lgith and medium armour enemy, she could rival backline and elite DD(laffey/ayanami...etc) in dmg done
can you add nep nep to the list?
YOUR THOUGHT ON LIL SANDY... QUICK... THE PAPAL STATE IF SANDY DEMAND YOUR CONTRIBUTION...
why does sandy have to be in every AL vids XD
Because it's important
@@Hawk2zer0 XD the main attraction
I need that rerun... T.T I beginned to play for her and started playing litterally 1 weeks after her event ended...
When I saw that there is bismarck event I reinstalled the game just to remind myself that I didn't link my acc... lost graf and tirpitz [*]
Somehow in the middle of watching this video, my light bulb clings...
Can you make a Faction Overview video hawk? That'd be nice(i think)
What do you think would be the main goal around those videos?
Showing the use of a certain faction, the buffs coming out from a build (i.e Graff buffs out Iron Blood so as Bismarck in this patch thus granting them a decent power to compete) or do it as in general, show the main selling point of the faction (HMS As the Hot Maid Ships, jk, like HMS ship has a well rounded CL, a defensive/supportive CV, and an good - on par bb) and compare them to each other.
Or for an apple to apple i think making it by their classes would be nice as well like The Iron Blood cruiser are well known for their Shields Sturdy Armour etc, The US Cruisers are known for the DPS and well rounded stuff.
I could interpret it wrong here cause English is not my first language (apologies for that)but, i tried my best to explain it.
@@K1nsiggMonark that seems like something I'd do more towards the fleet concept video I have planned later.
Looking forward for that video then! Cheers and thanks for the content
@@K1nsiggMonark Make sure ya give Furutaka a good headpat. She deserves it!
What a coincidence this was posted in my b-day xD
thanks alot! Do you have Tirpitz? Why her second skill is locked?
You need to limit break Tirpitz twice to obtain Magnetic torpedo!
@@Hawk2zer0 thanks alot man, looking forward to ur next video!
My German One-Chan can't be that hot
I wonder if Graf is ever coming back, i really wanna get her but i wasnt around when the event rolled out
Just wait for divergent chessboard rerun event
Oh Graf Zeppelin. Angry at the world because she was never actually finished and didn't get to fight. I still leveled her to 100 though.
Don't forget; After getting scuttled, she was raised, and then used as a target practice ship.
I dont have her and zeppy... Not that I miss her rate up but she just does not came home... Really sad
Please note that
-The Ju dive bombers suck. They have such a spread out attack, you'll be lucky if more than 4 bombs hit a ship. On top of that, the majority of her bombs are 100 pound, doing tickle damage.
-also you are locked in with the ME fighter plane which has no bombs of its own further lessening the damage.
-there are few good KMS ships unlke HMS, IJN, USS so cant have good synergy. If you want a country-themed fleet, go with any other country.
-KMS fleet is pretty expensive. There Tirp, Bis, Graf, and the expensive heavy cruisers. (76 oil)
i think she is pretty weak, even with the new kms Bismarck. but definitely better once you get Roon
Don't worry Ark only goes after DD. Zeppy is safe lol. Also, maybe about time to add a submarine on your list. U-81 maybe to start with?
Oh ok...was wondering when subs we're gonna start
BRRRRRAKAMONGA DOITSU NO KAGAKU WA SEKAI ICHI !!!
Why's there a flying Bulin on the end-card?
I'm glad I got her as my first pull of the event
I use, Tirpitz, Zeppy (until I get Bismarck) Graf Zeppline, Z23, Prinz and Laffey (until I finish Lep).
If you have her, I'd reccommend looking into replacing Laffey with Z1. She's a bit frail, but she has solid torp stats, benefits from all the Ironblood buffs, and effectively turns Z23 into a heavy cruiser.
@@Dramatic_Gaming
I did use her for a little bit but I stopped when I was switching fleets around.
Looks like I'll be waiting a while for Little Miss Thermonuclear Torpedoes to get the spotlight.
Graf will always outdamage enty if lucky E fail to proc. I used both of them along with ark in aviation daily challange a lot. Shes one of the ship that base skin is far better than sold skin imo, which another one being that US destroyer I forgot her name was. Her huge damage output and slow reload suit the boss fleet more, while zeppy are born to clear mob. I mean, she probably wont even attack once if your vanguard are good, or just attack at the end when low enemy hp left. At least in boss, you can hold the airstrike till the boss came out, and smash it with the hail of 1000 pound german finest iron.
I knew i wasnt the only one seeing her gems...JU-87 is only second to helldiver in terms of dps (or so they say)
Having two slots of those coupled with more than 160% efficiency does real scary dmg..
And she makes kms a lot tankier...
Damn i knew she's real good..just not appreciated much...
I Say Grape Zucchini!!
Amagi±GrafZeppelin allows the Z Fleet to tank for daysssssssssssssssssssssssssss. Also, pretty sure that it for stacks with every damage reduction you can slap, including the safety feature. Also, would suggest to use Hellcat instead or the pirate squad on her. Ironblood fighters dont carry bombs and hurts her damage potential.
@Hawk2zer0 take a look at Leipzig when you get a chance. She actually an iron blood vanguard keystone and she will steal MVP from roon from time to time
Can you also do zuikaku and shoukaku?
I WANT IT !
i even am readdy to trade in my fully pimped up Saratoga .
am not defending Ironblood technical superiority. Am stating it's fucking obvious!
German science is the world's finest
She’s amazing and fits my sadis- I mean personality
