New French Destroyers

With flag shipicon V L'Adroit, flag VI Duchaffault, flag VII Le Hardi, flag VIII L'Aventurier, flag IX Orage, and flag X Cassard all joining the battle! We'll hit you with the highlights below:

Features

Main battery guns that deal relatively good damage per minute, but they have poor ballistics, making it difficult to hit targets at long range.
From Tier VII, the new destroyers are armed with high-damage torpedoes that have good speed and long range.
The Tier VII ship (with researchable torpedoes) and higher tiers (with both stock and researchable torpedoes) feature torpedoes that inflict variable damage based on the distance travelled. They are very powerful upon launch but deal less damage the longer they travel. After a specific range threshold is reached, the torpedoes linearly lose damage up to the point they deal 40% of their original damage at maximum range.

Variable Torpedo Damage

Ship	Maximum Damage Threshold (Researchable Torpedoes)
VII Le Hardi	6 km
VIII L'Aventurier	6.5 km
IX Orage	7 km
X Cassard	N/A

As a signature feature, French Tech Tree destroyers have special saturation mechanics that cause them to take only half damage in their midsection after a certain damage threshold is met.
These ships aren't particularly fast, but they somewhat compensate for this with the availability of the Emergency Engine Power consumable with a short action time and high-speed boost.

In celebration of the arrival of these warships to our virtual seas, we are introducing some fantastic, exclusive content for the Early Access event, which includes:
