If you're a crusty ol' veteran with playing Dunkerque, so experienced in Marine Nationale ways battlecruiser ways that you serenade baguettes, you don't need me to tell you what she's like. Strasbourg Specific: Small hit point pool for a tier VII battleship.Lightly armoured, highly vulnerable to AP overmatch and HE shells.Įxposed, high-water citadel with thin belt armour.

Unable to fire her main battery guns directly rearward (for some inexplicable reason!)

Strasbourg Specific: Has access to the Main Battery Reload Booster consumable.

Solid agility with a good top speed and rate of turn. Long ranged with good ballistics over distance. Good HE shell performance and fire setting.

Strasbourg has access to the Main Battery Reload Booster consumable.Īll forward gun arrangement simplifies maximizing firepower.įast reload (26s Dunkerque, 25s Strasbourg) Quick Summary: Fast, lightly armoured battlecruisers with all eight of it's quick-firing 330mm guns mounted in two quad-turrets on their bows. Is Strasbourg worth the grind or should you just stick with Dunkerque?.Is Main Battery Reload Booster that powerful on a 330m armed platform?.Just how influential are the small changes made between the two ships?.Is Dunkerque so good at tier VI that she can be effectively cloned and placed at tier VII with little issue?.One can't help but ask the following questions: Strasbourg is Dunkerque in almost every metric that matters short of tiering and access to the Main Battery Reload Consumable. The two ships are almost identical which raises concerns on balance. At any rate, this is a review of both Dunkerque-class battleships: Dunkerque at tier VI and her new sister-ship, Strasbourg at tier VII. It seems a bit ambitious to declare it as the new norm, but we'll see what happens. Maybe I'll make this a regular thing going into the future whenever Wargaming releases a comparable sister-ship - review the new addition and touch base on an older one. I saw an opportunity to not only review a new ship but to update an older one too. Please be aware that their performance may change in the future.

To the best of my knowledge, the statistics discussed in this review are current as of patch 0.9.12. They were both provided to me by Wargaming for review purposes at no cost to me. The following is a review of Dunkerque & Strasbourg, the tier VI & VII French battleships.
