729 X15 Alpha Tester 2,162 posts 6,770 battles Report post #5 Posted March 6, 2017 Now I'll need to say ol saint louie when referring to the American Saint Louis. Not that's it's a problem of course. The French made pretty ships in my opinion,here's hoping so don't get another German DD line. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

1,455 [FOXEH] DoomStomper Beta Testers 3,985 posts 2,373 battles Report post #15 Posted March 6, 2017 Dammit, no Edgar Quinet (one of the only proper armored cruisers with a suitable main battery arrangement to be competitive with the current mechanics). Oh well, probably too dissimilar to the other ships in the lineup, so should make a good premium candidate later on. Should be interesting to see what characteristics WG gives to this line, as none of them appear to be particularly outlandish designs. Otherwise, the French ships I'm most looking forward to are more quad-turreted BBs; in addition to the absurdly fast large destroyers with 138mm guns.

212 Panzer20000 Supertester, In AlfaTesters 1,053 posts 568 battles Report post #16 Posted March 6, 2017 Tier 10 is paper plan I guess? What design is the Tier X? Someone know about it? My best guess is a fictional Super Saint Louis, as the Saint Louis was the last major heavy cruiser project of France. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

519 BossmanSlim Members 1,549 posts 5,319 battles Report post #23 Posted March 6, 2017 What is going to be the French flavor? Ship goes as fast in reverse as forward? Seriously, they look similar to German cruisers, so maybe worse guns with better torpedoes? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
5 Shrike58 Beta Testers 36 posts 11,325 battles Report post #24 Posted March 6, 2017 (edited) While you knew that the Tier X was basically going to be a vaporware ship I expected something like the war prize Mulhouse (Stralsund) at Tier IV, the Suffren at Tier VII and the Algerie at Tier VIII. The secondaries on the Henri IV are interesting as they look like the mountings off the post-WWII French light cruisers. Having Emile Bertin in the game makes one wonder if mines are going to be the new weapon option. Edited March 6, 2017 by Shrike58 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
