The proof is in the pudding basically, while the Jean Bart would've been the Just Blown Up if the ship had been completed and magazines had been loaded while dueling the Massachusetts, the Bismarck was pounded for over an hour by the 14" gun KGV and 16" gun Rodney and only finally sunk by either torpedoes and/or scuttling.Īs I've said, Richelieu has thicker armor everywhere than the Bismarck. And if you think Richelieu's 4 gun turret is wonky, it's nothing compared to RL where they were by far the slowest loading modern BB guns (WG giving the JB / Bourgogne MBRB is ironic as all get out). In addition to their pace, these French ships have pretty accurate guns, which is a perfect counter for their biggest weakness-their weak armor.Īll the new French vessels are locked and loaded, eager to take to battle in World of Warships Blitz.While I'd say in game the Richyrich is the better boat IRL literally none of the in game mechanics wrt angling and such would matter a whit and the Bisquick was a far superior design to an actually unfair degree since the Richelieu was built in accordance with the Washington Naval Treaty's 35k ton BB displacement limit while Bismarck was 45k+ tons. Overall, these battleships are fast and agile-a not-so-common trail for this class-which can go even faster with the Engine Accelerator skill.
The only downside of having more guns is that they are of a smaller caliber. From Tier VII and up, these battleships start to really show their class the high-tier battleships boast strong AA armament and their turrets now have 4 guns. When progressing up the tech tree, these vessels eventually morph and become much like battle cruisers that are quite speedy. The premier French battleship is the Turenne, sitting at Tier III, is researchable from Friant, the Tier III cruiser. The new additions are:Īt lower tiers, these battleships are much like those in other nations: good armor with hard-hitting guns. J- Joining the cruisers in the French tech tree, a group of battleships are set sail for battle in World of Warships Blitz.
