Alsace can brawl like a champ (although you're not as tanky as Germans and have to be VERY mindful of your angles, and you want to stay a bit farther back, closer to the edge of your secondary range), but she feels like she is much more accurate at longer ranges with her main battery than Germans. I originally stated I wasn't in a rush to get Republique if I even bothered with her at all.

So, not going to do 'full reviews' like I did of the British BBs because lazy, but having played up through Alsace, here'smy quick impressions of the French BB line so far: Standard review disclaimer by me: I am an average to a bit above average player who plays mostly solo, so this is from that perspective. This was a match where I ended up only engaging BBs (which is unusual for me), but still got 35k direct damage plus 55k fire damage from my secondaries. A series of French battleships built in response to the appearance of British "superdreadnoughts". V NORMANDIE. Alsace is easily my favorite, with Richelieu second. I had the frustration of smacking a Gascogne last night at almost zero range with four- to eight-gun broadsides and doing not all that much. Still has a high skill floor but I clicked with her very well and she's as much fun as Alsace.). Online. I'm on the Normadie and I have been shooting HE; not because I want to be an HE spammer, but because I can't citadel with AP. I do like Alsace. With IFHE, they can pen up to 27.5mm armor. Its tempting to bow-tank with all your main guns mounted on the bow, but I still recommend angling as you have a tendency to lose turrets when bow-on and with two turrets that cripples your DPS. Members. A flotilla of Italian Warships is headed to World of Warships: Legends in the new Veni, Vidi, Vici update. By She combines the mid-range accuracy of USN BBs (although with lower alpha strike potential due to small guns) with the secondary-range devastation of a Kurfurst or Friedrich. I prefer main gun accuracy over secondary range, especially with these inconsistent French BBs. The construction of such turrets was driven by the desire to achieve maximum broadside firepower given the ship's limited size. They fire a bit slower than the 100mm guns (about 4.5 seconds, IIRC) but they are much stronger. The ship had good torpedo protection, carried numerous dual-purpose guns and had powerful horizontal armor. I don't straight up brawl with her as much as I do German BBs, but I do play her as a lancer much like Richelieu; charge in, then use speed to whip around and kite, staying near max range of secondaries and angled away from the enemy while lighting them up with 12-gun salvoes every 25 seconds or so. But add IFHE, and your 100mm secondaries pen almost all parts of all DDs, large portions of cruisers (except for their primary armor belts) and BB superstructures. I usually love fast BBs but her turret firing arcs were punitive and I couldn't seem to mitigate damage well enough to compensate for her low hp. From tier 6 up, and especially from tiers 8-10, the speed allows you to reposition quickly and flex where needed. So even in those games where no one on your team will push and you can't get away with closing in to knife range, you're still able to deal significant damage. Well at least Nassau was built that way, and is the ship, the ship, the Kawachi is based on. I need to replay those games while we still have the current patch, look at the ribbons, and see exactly what happened to those shells when I'm NOT concentrating on fighting for my life. Its really off putting going from pretty standard AP, to fast super high pen AP that overpens everything, but once I got used to it I was consistently getting high damage, but still frustrating to play for me because I hate seeing overpen broadsides at all distances, and sub 10k broadside BBs, but still, was doing very well and I went from hating it to loving it very quickly. She's wicked fast, has 12 undersized but accurate main guns (dispersion gets wonky near max range but from 11-13 km in they're deadly), her secondaries will merrily light fires and add damage, and her secondaries have more 360-degree coverage than Richelieu. @HazeGrayUnderway did some systematic testing in a training room for some less anecdotal data, shown in quote below: In training room tests, I've timed my Alsace Secondaries to fire for 2 minutes each on FDG, Alsace, Missouri, Izumo, Lion targets.

With Tier 5 I generally agree, though I'd like to get past my Orion and play the Iron Duke for a while to have another Tier 5 battleship against which to compare her (not that there is that much difference between the Orion and the Duke in the first place, but their matchmaking is different and that will alter perceptions). Angling baits opponents to fire at your belt and your belt will shrug off most shots; bow-on means opponents will try and snipe your turrets. I read another thread about it, and although costly, it might be worth it, especially for Alsace's two calibers of secondaries. I'm honestly expecting a nerf to her; Alsace makes me look like a much better BB player than I am. But omg she's op in random battles. The disadvantages of concentrating the ship's main guns on the bow were compensated by the favorable turret traverse angles. There’s one small problem though.

It does not increase damage if you can already pen that armor without IFHE. The Lyon makes it easy with sixteen (that’s right 16) rifles. The Alsace is just a better Richelieu but with less of the quark. TL;DR: On Alsace, putting 4 points into IFHE is a drastic improvement to secondary effectiveness with only a minor opportunity cost (since EM is comparatively less important than it is for Republique.) She's very quirky and she wont' work well for spray-and-pray players, but her secondaries and her very powerful and fast-loading main guns make her awesome.

In World of Warships, this build may be considered as the most versatile and can be used for any Battleship of any tier. I can also take Expert Marksman in addition to Adrenaline Rush, and since Republique has a 1x4 front/ 1x4 rear main gun layout compared to the 2x4 front / 1x4 rear layout of Alsace, EM is more valuable on Republique since switching sides takes 50% of my main gun firepower out of action until my turrets traverse as opposed to the 33% of Alsace.

She looks potentially fun but has a very high skill floor and will likely require a very good player with the right playstyle to consistently do well in her. Frankly, Republique doesn't see enough ships with enough 25mm plating to make the opportunity cost of IFHE worth it. Though speaking of tier X Battleships this build is particularly good for Yamato ( Imperial Japanese Navy ), Montana ( US Navy ), République and Bourgogne ( French Navy ), Thunderer ( Royal Navy ). “When it all comes together around two competent teams working together, World of Warships is a glorious pre-World War 2 admiralty fantasy come to life.” 8.3/10 – IGN “Its mix of ponderous warships and huge guns—the biggest guns ever fired in anger by mankind—is beautiful, polished, and a joy to play.” 80/100 – PCGamer I run the secondary upgrade in the 500k credit upgrade slot, but for the 3-million credit upgrade slot I use the upgrade for main gun reload speed, as I find it gives me more value overall to shave time off my main gun reload as I use those all game whereas I am not *always* in secondary range (although I try to be, because brawler Alsace is best Alsace. 11.7k.

She isn't very stealthy (although better than some BBs) but she has great speed to flex around the map, and she has low hp but if angled correctly can be very survivable.
