What are people doing with these two CVs in question out there? You will find that Kaga > Graf Zeppelin.

To back this assessment up are numbers, server stats. Out of the two Kaga is the much better CV. That makes GZ one of the worst high tier CVs in the game. The only advantage its planes have are that they are very fast, otherwise pretty much all of her ordinance disappoints. GZ has mediocre sustain and hilarious secondary battery performance which as a gimmick for a CV is largely worthless (good for the occasional meme tho). It should be noted that its hull is fairly slow and very fat, if you get into serious trouble with it you're unlikely to escape so plan your moves well in advance. If the Carrier got to where it's detected by enemy ships and sunk that already confirms the defeat for the team anyway.Kaga has the highest sustain out of all high tier CVs thanks to massive starting reserves which makes it highly forgiving to play. In terms of squad types its TBs are decent, HE DBs mediocre and rockets anemic, making it primarily a BB and large cruiser farmer that can have troubles against smaller, more maneuverable ships. I would equip the FDR the same way support the planes. The Enterprise is my baby and also my nemesis however that particular ship is not acquirable except through a random crate whose chances are pretty slim at best. I plan to acquire the FDR because her planes are so tanky and will survive future attacks against whatever AA is present then. sheesh.) I eventually sold that carrier off. (And the idea that secondaries are nerfed again with 10.0. Which is not normal for a carrier however that one has good secondaries for what they are. I ended up with one remaining handful of points when all plane related skills were picked. When I configured the GZ B, All of the skills were to planes. That went away with the CV Rework a few years ago. There is no way to reconfigure the air wing to just fighters and bombers which is what i do mostly, two bomber wings and the rest of fighters with one goal Defanging enemy carriers and getting clear skies for our team. The rocket planes get destroyed during attack without use of boost and the torp planes have torps that do not know how to go straight once launched they were nerfed essentially. However her planes are not that effective these days except the bomber. I owned the Graf Z B model which was a gift in the BF event.
