They go from an HE spammer with awful firing arcs and pathetic AP - but lots of guns - to a ship with half the number of guns who's focus isn't HE, but rather it's powerful AP, something that will only be out-shined - admittedly by a fair margin - by the 15" guns on Roma. Richelieu is going to get a very bad reputation, and fast, as people move from Lyon to Richelieu and experience a very, very radical shift in play style, not to mention that many will just use the speed boost to get themselves killed really fast - specifically, at 41.5 knots. but 29.5 knots? They literally arbitrarily jumped the shp from 45,000 (planned, for 22 knots) up to 107,000 on the stock propulsion, which then magically rockets up to 112,000 hp.Īt this point the 35-40 knot Cassone is less of a pipe dream than some of the things WG is making the French BBs capable of - and they really, really didn't need to do it. I could understand them saying that improved bow coupled with a conversion to all oil could raise the speed to 23-24 knots. What cost the Italians entire turrets to accomplish the French can do with a massive friggin quad turret still stick in the middle of the ship, where the magazine cuts the engine compartment right in half. They're trying to give the French line the speed boost that destroyers and French cruisers long enjoyed.īut yeah, the speeds on the French BBs is just absurd.
