Tier IV · Battleship · France
Rating A- (Above average+ within its tier and class · overall score 62) · High-firepower battleship
High-firepower battleship, suited to fire pressure. It is especially strong against cruisers (AP deals a same-tier cruiser's HP in about 3 min on paper). A glass cannon: huge firepower, but low HP means it melts under focus fire. Its AP main battery DPM of 39,337 is 9% above the same-tier battleship average. High HE fire potential (2.0 fires/min before hit rate and resistance). Detectability of 10.5 km is 0.85 km above average, so it gets spotted early; move behind islands.
