Please, don't remove the DG_Alpha credits. You only modified his drawing and add some things, that means that you can add your name to it but not remove the original artist name.

Oh... Thanks for the notice, Krakatoa. Will change it.

Changes done, thanks for pointing out what needed to be done. And now? Is the whole story plausible? Is it worth while to do here another AU Kriegsmarine based on "semi historical facts"? Is it of general interest to analyze more in depth the technical aspects of that era? Of what Germany could have done if the circumstances were just as bit different (as they could very well have been)? I need your feedback to know what to do...

Hi, Cargil. The carrier is a plausible vessel, maybe a little short for the air group of figthers and dive bombers that is depicted in your second drawing. And it will be an expensive conversion, and a time-consuming one. In my humble opinion, a less elaborate (for example, just fume vents instead of a funnel, less comprehensive radar suite) would be a more realistic (not in terms of plausibility, but in terms of available resources) vessel. But your drawing is Well done and Well detailed, as is the history behind it! Cheers!

A friend of SB told me that it is nonsense to imagine Germany building two carriers at the same time, having no previous experience in this highly challenging type of vessels. And I should have made a less complicated "support carrier" to get that experience BEFORE "Graf Zeppelin" was ready. Seems logic and I'll have to work my entire AU KGM over, having that comment from a highly regarded member of SB in mind.

Looking forward to seeing what comes of this!
