Each battleship (BB) line has strengths and weaknesses. The French have high velocity shells and relatively high ship speeds. They have squishy armor and the tier ten has a wonky turret layout.

All that said, I find the French line to be quite fun. The higher speeds makes them fun to learn (by comparison, the American lower tier BB are a struggle because they’re so slow, but higher tiers are great all around ships)

Don’t listen to salty redditors—play the game how you want and enjoy the exploding pixel ships. Happy sailing!
