Kléber TE: Tier X French Tournament Destroyer 1940

Kleber TE is a tournament edition clone of a ship for the purpose of testing new mechanics and ship contents in tournaments.

A glass cannon to be played close to objectives. A strong toolbox of consumables in combination with Combat Instructions and low main battery range gear this ship towards decisive engagements against enemy destroyers. 12km range torpedoes allow the ship to retain some effectiveness outside of contesting objectives.
