Tier V · Battleship · France
Rating D (Bottom tier within its tier and class · overall score 13) · Balanced battleship
Balanced battleship. It is weak against cruisers (AP deals a same-tier cruiser's HP in about 4 min on paper). Key skills: Engine Accelerator I ×2 (top speed +8%, 25 s). With only 34,789 effective HP, hit-and-run from cover works better than head-on fights. A survival equipment build adds damage reduction +4 pp, torpedo damage reduction +-3 pp to shore up survivability.
