Champagne's Main Characteristics :
Champagne embodies the development of the Gascogne French battleship project. The triple turrets with 406 mm guns which comprise her main battery were developed especially for the ship in France in the latter half of the 1930s. She's a fast battleship with powerful artillery, but relatively weak armor.
Key features:
* Six accurate 406 mm guns with a long reach of up to 25 km
* Multiple secondary guns: nine 152 mm and twenty-four 100 mm guns
* Her already decent 34-knot speed can be temporarily increased using the Engine Boost consumable
* Small HP pool for a Tier VIII battleship
* She earns more credits per battle, and her permanent camouflage adds a 50% XP bonus per battle and reduces the cost of the ship's post-battle service by 10%
