Tier VII · Cruiser · France · Premium
Rating A+ (Strong within its tier and class · overall score 77) · Gunnery cruiser
Gunnery cruiser, suited to tanking. It is weak against battleships (HE deals a same-tier battleship's HP in about 9 min on paper). 38,291 effective HP and good protection keep it alive, but big guns overmatch its ends, so be careful tanking bow-in. Its AP broadside of 9,200 is 32% above average, so every salvo hits hard. Detectability of 9.3 km is 1.18 km above average, so it gets spotted early; move behind islands.
