I Completed Plan Z As Germany 1942
I just wanted to share with the Community that I recently completed Plan Z and managed to make the German Reich have one of the largest ocean going navies in the world.

My navy currently totals

5 Graf Zepplin Class Carriers

2 Schlesien Class Battleships

6 Bismarck Class Battleships

5 O-Class Battlecruisers

20 Prinz Eugen Class Heavy Cruisers

12 Hipper Class Heavy Cruisers

3 Deutschland Class Heavy Cruisers

47 Light Cruisers

54 Destroyers


I am currently working on making it more balanced in terms of ship ratio's to make it a more effective fighting fleet.

Yes Please <3

Also just a update I successfully defeated the entire UK navy thanks to having 1,500 Naval Bombers assault their navy while they were engaged with mine.

Notable losses on my side were

1 Aircraft Carrier
1 Battleship
1 Battlecruiser
10 Cruisers
15 Destroyers

they lost their entire navy in the battle

Hi.. I would like to do the same thing. I'm a new player though and was wondering; if you want to build all those ships fast do you build up civilian industry first (exclussively?) and then docks? or just go straight to building as many docks as soon as possible? Also, did you build synth. refineries?

Not the ideal way to bring up your question but to anwser it regardless:

1. It depends but assuming you truly want to pursue the Z-plan then it's often best to build civil factories first. I'm assuming ofcourse you will stay at peace throughout the build-up
2. Synth is going to a requirement since you will need the oil. You could invade the Netherlands and take Indonesia for yourself but that will cost you the MEFO bills.

There should be more battleships. 2x Scharnhorst, 2x Bismarck, 6x H-class. You have too many C.V.'s (need only 2) and O-class (need only 3). :D

I am trying to complete the PlanZ as well, but I am unable to build the Battlecruisers (O-Class Battlecruisers). Is it a bug? Or what do I have to research?

OK I got the answer in an other forum :
A battlecruiser is a cruiser with a special armor. Go design your cruiser; choose the adequate armor ("armor for battlecruiser I or II). And the new category "Battlecruiser" will be created.

Actually it's a battleship with special armour,

Heavy hulls can mount either battleship grade or battlecruiser grade armour, which ever is fitted determines what type of ship you get.
Similarly, medium hulls can mount medium or light guns. If it has any medium guns the ship will be a heavy cruiser, if it does not it will be a light cruiser.

There -is- a way to do Plan Z as an afterthought.

Puppet Annex UK
Puppet Annex Japan after it declares on German Malaysia.
