This is the first of a serie of units for Kriegsmarine, reworked in collaboration with flush deck.

Based on GWX Development Team's Deutschland class panzerschiffes, 3d model updated using SHV parts and a lot of details (oblos, stairs, cables, lifeboats, glass windows\interiors, turning radars\rangefinders and torpedo launchers...).

If you've also LBSArado in your Data\German\Air\Roster, you can add scout planes to this cruiser adding those lines to NBC_GrafSpee.cfg:

[AirGroup 1]
StartDate=19380101
EndDate=19391211
Squadron1Class=LBSArado
Squadron1No=1

Greetings.

VD,

Thank you for a splendid update to an old favorite of mine. :Kaleun_Salute:

Good hunting,
FUBAR295

One time is enough :yep:

Maybe they could have found the correct number of warship hunting them near Rio de la Plata. Not a great enemy fleet...

1, 2, or 3 scout planes?

I've found different sources, here for example it say 2:

Graf Spee
 

Such a shame due to sinking very good excellent battleship in Rio de la Plata:k_confused:

You ships were already good; this one is great in terms of accuracy & detail. Now to throw in Exeter , Ajax, and Achilles against her. :haha::haha:

iambecomelife, thank you so much! :salute:
Glad you like her!
Others in the class will follow :up:

Best regards,
Vd

You should fix the textures for the Guns.
They don't do Justice to the Ships.
