Rating A- (Above average+ within its tier and class · overall score 66) · Gunnery cruiser
A French premium cruiser firing eight twin 127 mm turrets (16 guns) every 3.4 s, with a theoretical HE DPM of 98,576, far above the tier X cruiser average. Due to the turret layout, however, only 12 guns can fire to one side at once, so real firepower is below this figure, which assumes 14. 9.12 s acceleration, a 6.3 s rudder shift, and 4 charges of Engine Accelerator IV (+20% speed and turning) make it extremely agile, and 7.56 km detectability gives it destroyer-level concealment. On the other hand, 32,179 HP, thin armor, and no smoke mean a single battleship salvo can wreck it. It suits experienced players who can handle both high-arc fire over islands and maneuvering.
