Features of the new ships
These new ships have found their places alongside the first branch of French cruisers. The main feature of the new ships is their large-caliber guns (relative to the ship type) mounted on their bows. They reload slowly, but this is compensated for by the Main Battery Reload Booster consumable.
Cruisers are capable of achieving high speeds with the help of the improved "French-specific" Engine Boost consumable. The ships' armor does a great job in protecting their citadels against medium-caliber AP shells, but the new cruisers are quite vulnerable against HE and SAP shells. Medium and long ranges are optimal for engagements, but with the help of their 139 mm secondary battery guns with improved accuracy, the new ships can also show their worth in close-range encounters.
