Latouche-Tréville - Tier X French Premium Cruiser 1929

During the interwar period, the French Marine Nationale investigated new capital ship designs to modernize its fleet. Among them was a proposed 37,000-ton battlecruiser armed with twelve 305 mm guns mounted in three quadruple-gun turrets. These ships would have been well-suited to counter the new Italian heavy cruisers. Ultimately, the design was never constructed. If such a ship had been built and survived World War II, she would likely have undergone modernization with updated anti-aircraft armament at the end of the 1940s.

Key Features

• Long-range secondary battery: Features Combat Instructions that significantly enhance secondary DPM and penetration when activated.
• Strong survivability: Equipped with robust armor and good torpedo protection, though the bow and stern remain vulnerable to large-caliber AP.
• Main battery firepower: Twelve 305mm main battery guns offering flat ballistics and high AP penetration, balanced by a long reload and unreliable accuracy.
• Torpedo armament: Access to one triple torpedo launcher on each side, typical for French cruisers, providing a solid close-range threat.
• Heavy build: Characterized by a higher-than-average detectability and lower maneuverability.

Battle Tips

• Early Game Strategy: Play as a long-range, heavy-hitting cruiser in the opening minutes. Use the flat ballistics and high penetration of the 305mm AP shells to punish broadside cruisers and target the upper side armor of battleships.
• Charge Combat Instructions: Focus on landing main battery hits early on to fill up your Combat Instructions progress bar. Make sure to stay properly angled while doing so to protect your vulnerable bow and stern.
• Brawling Phase: Once your Combat Instructions are active, close the distance to brawl. This state dramatically improves your secondaries' accuracy, penetration, and reload time.
• Maximize Consumables: Combine active Combat Instructions with the Auxiliary and Torpedo Weaponry Coordination consumable to maximize secondary damage, and utilize your triple torpedo launchers for close-range defense.
• Plan Your Exit: Plan your engagements with an escape route in mind. When Combat Instructions end, your secondaries return to normal, leaving you as a large, highly detectable target with low maneuverability and a slow main battery reload.
