Default Re: Germany had Flattops

As pointed out on the other thread the German design for aircraft carriers was just so lame when you look at the USN & IJN carriers, the German surface fleet was a threat but just look what happen to it when it came out to fight. Germany wasted the surface fleet, as for the U-Boats they were over stretched, granted they were doing the job and fought like lions for a lost course. If Germany built the planned number of aircraft carriers I can't help think how many less tanks would of been built and how long those carriers would last against the RN or I are we looking at hit and run operations.
