With a secondary build she is the best ship I've seen at kiting her secondaries are mounted in back and her firing arcs are very wide for good "over the shoulder" shots. Tier 8: Richelieu is VERY fun, but quirky. She's a keeper for me, which says a lot since two of my favorite BBs are in tier 7 already (KGV and Gneisenau) and I almost never keep three ships in a tier of the same class except for DDs. Also, firing sixteen guns downrange never ever ever ever gets old. But firing SIXTEEN main guns downrange means you're going to get hits even with weird dispersion. Her guns are a bit derpy dispersion-wise and you need to expose a lot of side to fire all of them, so you have to be good at timing and positioning to do so without getting wrecked. Tier 7: Lyon is definitely not OP, but she's a lot of fun and certainly competitive. She may be workable for you I admit four games is not enough to get a good feel for a ship. Part of that was garbage teams and I got frustrated. 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. I free-XPed out of her after four games, which is very rare for me. Tier 6: Normandie was garbage for me, the only ship I disliked. But if you can stay angled you'll shrug off a lot of potential damage despite her low HP and her guns will decimate same-tier BBs or any cruiser. She handles like a drunk pig slow and waddling, and her turrets take all day to turn, but once again, this is not uncommon at tier 5. Her guns are punchy af and very accurate, secondaries put out a lot of fire but suffer from her tier (since manual control of secondaries skill is only 15% improvement at tier t5). They don't matter anyway, it takes a few games to grind through a tier 3 or 4 and honestly, nothing can ever beat Orion. Note: I did not play tier 3 or 4 as i got Bretagne from mission. Very mobile.Īlso, contrary to what I've seen people say, no ffs they're not HE spammers like British BBs were use AP most of the time like your IJN, USN, and German BBs. From tier 6 up, and especially from tiers 8-10, the speed allows you to reposition quickly and flex where needed. And from tier 7 up, I recommend a secondary build or hybrid secondary/survival build. If you don't know how to effectively angle, learn or you're not going to enjoy them. With low hp and good armor, angling is key with these ships. This is of course a limited sample size, and is affected by my playstyle (which is generally fairly aggressive leading to occasional overreaches and a low survival rate.) Your mileage may vary depending on your playstyle and skill level. Also, while I did consult numbers and stats, my reviews are primarily based on the feel of the ship and my performance in her. 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. 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:
