Condé: French Heavy Super Cruiser 1957

Conde is a substantial heavy cruiser equipped with twelve 240 mm guns in quad-gun turrets. The vessel's air defenses consist of post-war dual-purpose guns and specialized AA weapon systems.

 

Key Features

• Burst Fire Mode: This mode enables the Condé to unleash two complete salvos from its Main Battery rapidly. Upon activation, it greatly enhances the precision and armor penetration capabilities of High Explosive (HE) shells.
• Main Battery: The Condé boasts twelve 240 mm guns mounted in quadruple-gun turrets, delivering formidable firepower with both High Explosive (HE) and Armor-Piercing (AP) shells. Reload Booster: In addition to the Burst Fire Mode, the ship is equipped with a Main Battery Reload Booster consumable that can decrease the gun reload time by 50%.
• Drawbacks: A significant disadvantage of the Burst Fire mode is its extended reload duration of 50 seconds, rendering the ship defenseless and unable to retaliate for a period of time.
• Comparison with Henri IV: The Conde possesses numerous similarities with the Henri IV, such as speed, armor, stealth, and consumables. Nonetheless, it boasts additional guns, torpedoes, and greater health, rendering it a superior choice.

Gameplay

The Conde's distinctive firing mode provides a tactical edge, enabling players to deliver a potent volley against opposing vessels. However, it demands precise timing and positioning because of its extended reload duration. In the hands of a player adept at harnessing its singular strengths, the ship can excel remarkably.
