How would you build the Graf Spee?

as an additional aside, what are the current captain builds for Cls in the game?

I'd just use whatever commander you'd use on Roon or Hindy because it should be close enough. Though I'd run this build[wowsft.com] (all the 2 point skills are crap for Spee IMO, so just take whatever there) if I were building Spee specifically.

I wouldnt go speccing for Graf specifically since its prem and any of your German captains can sail in it. Personally would have superintendant, adrenaline rush, concealment expert and radio location as my tier 3 and 4 skills for pretty much any German cruiser, and this works fine on Graf. There is also an argument for heavy Ap shells perk at tier 3 since your guns are pretty much BB level.

I have a 10-point commander on mine.
Grease the Gears - 1
Swift Fish - 1
Fill the Tubes - 2
Enhanced Torpedo Explosive Charge - 3
Heavy AP Shells - 3

Equipment:
Main Armaments Modification 1
Engine Room Protection
Aiming Systems Modification 1
Steering Gears Modification 1

I was tempted to trade the Aiming Systems Modification 1 in for Torpedo Tubes Modification 1. The torpedoes on the Graf Spee hit hard. 15k damage each, in two quad launchers. Each side hits for 60k damage.

However I think the Aiming System Mod is the better choice for the dispersion bonus. The Graf Spee also has high velocity AP shells. Being able to accurately target the opponent's citadel is a big deal because they penetrate fairly easily. I can citadel BB's with the Graf. She might only have six guns but they are mean. She's a nice boat.

Keep in mind my play style is different. I play Co-Op and I like to get up close and brawl. I don't stick at long range and snipe.
