Lugdunum: Tier VII European Special Battleship 1939
The Arctic's icy grip hides many mysteries—some destined to remain uncovered, others meant to be unravelled. During the turmoil of World War II, this mighty battleship disappeared into the frozen waters, only to resurface in archival records decades later. These records inspired a young scholar and an avid explorer to embark on a search for the vanished ship.

Key Features
While her AP and HE performance are not as formidable, her big salvo size ensures that she can still make her mark in battle.
What makes Lugdunum especially deadly in close-quarters combat is her secondary battery. With an extended range, improved accuracy akin to the Schlieffen line, and a significant increase in DPM, she's ready to rain relentless fire on enemy ships.
Another one of Lugdunum’s standout features is her great concealment. This encourages sneaky approaches and optimal positioning to maximize the effectiveness of her secondaries while minimizing detection by enemy ships. Her tight turning radius and decent maneuverability enhance her ability to dodge incoming fire and position herself advantageously in battles. Coupled with a fast cooldown Repair Party, the Lugdunum is well-equipped to handle the challenges of intense combat scenarios.
Gameplay
The Lugdunum boasts a hard-to-hit citadel, making her a resilient opponent in the heat of battle. However, her relatively small HP pool and slower turret traversal requires careful positioning and tactical play to mitigate her vulnerabilities.
