Charles Martel — French Tech Tree Tier VII Cruiser.

A heavy cruiser project (Project C5A3) designed to rival potential adversaries: new ships of this type that were being built in Germany. The main difference from the previous ships was manifestedin the enhancements of the ship's main guns located in triple turrets.


Year of Design: 1939

Ship Traits
Nimble Aim: Above average main battery traverse speed. Gives an edge in close quarters combat.	Broad Launch: Wider maximum spread of the torpedo launcher.	Fast: Above average maximum movement speed.
