Just did a second test with two OTO 152mm +10 and no plane to see if the guns give bonus damage with improvement.

First, well, Graf doesn't attack at day without the attack planes (duh). Strangely enough, she succeded in performing detection.

She did 80 and 81 damage against a I class DD.

Without improvement, (50+8+8)x1,2-0.7x5 = 75,7 maximum damage (excluding crit).

In conclusion, the improvement adds damage at night for her too (+3 per gun at +9 or +10 most certainly). As expected.

The best loadout for her night battle would be Tenzan Murata x2 and OTO 152mm +10 x2 which would give her 102 basic attack power. If you fear losing your second slot's bombers and thus power (on AA heavy maps for example), you can put a SCAMP instead: you lose only 2 damage at night (but quite some more at day).

In the unlikely situation where one really needs Graf Zeppelin to perform at night...
