Default Re: Carriers

Carriers in the Pacific worked better since the ocean was in general calmer for operations and there was alot of area to get lost in.

In the Atlantic carriers were mostly used to ferry aircraft to Europe and for anti-sub patrol by the allies. If the Germans used them in the Med. Sea they would be too close to land based aircraft and subs. If the German carriers operated off the French coast then they could make raids on the English channel shipping and to the south perhaps Gibrator however in the winter it would not be much fun trying to land and take off from the decks.

Anouther factor would be who would be in charge of the German carriers ? The German Navy or the German Air Force ? They did not get along well during the war at all.
