Player Opinion
Performance
Émile Bertin is a Tier V French light cruiser. Similar to most other light cruisers, she is equipped with 152mm guns. Her armor however is extremely thin, having only 13mm to protect her vital areas. Because of this light armor, the ship will sustain massive damage from enemy battleships and heavy cruisers. Rather than relying on armor for protection, Émile Bertin uses speed and range to avoid shells. With a top speed of 35 knots, a range of nearly 15km, and good turning characteristics, Émile Bertin can easily dodge incoming fire from enemy warships. Additionally, the main battery guns have a very sluggish reload time, further limiting the ship’s abilities in close quarters engagements. However, Émile Bertin’s armor piercing shells work great against enemy cruisers and other broadside targets.
Émile Bertin is also equipped with a triple torpedo launcher per side. The firing angles of these launchers almost rival those of Katori's, meaning that the ship does not need to turn much to be able to fire. The torpedoes are also quite fast and long-ranged for their tier, making them useful against enemy warships who get too close, or for area denial.Pros:
- AB-X turret layout allows two-thirds of its firepower to be deployed even when bow-on.
- One of the fastest tier V cruisers with a top speed of 35 knots.
- Quick rudder shift time and a decent turning radius allow her to easily dodge incoming fire.
- The main turrets traverse quickly meaning that her guns will remain on target even during hard turns.
- Excellent torpedoes with 60 knots speed and 9 km range, with generous firing angles.
Cons:
- The ship is virtually unarmored. Her main belt reaches a maximum thickness of only 13mm.
- Reload time remains mediocre at 12 seconds.
- Only one torpedo launcher on each side---half as many as the preceding ship in the line, Duguay-Trouin.
- Anti-aircraft capabilities of the ship are very limited.

Upgrades
Émile Bertin has access to three upgrade slots.
- Slot 1: Main Armaments Modification 1. This will help reduce the likelihood of one of the main battery turrets becoming disabled.
- Slot 2: Aiming Systems Modification 1. This will reduce the dispersion slightly of the main battery's shells.
- Slot 4: Steering Gears Modification 1. This upgrade reduces that chance of the rudder becoming incapacitated.
Commander Skills
For tier 1 skills, there are several options worth training a commander with. Skills such as Priority Target and Incoming Fire Alert may help notifying a player when they are in danger of taking damage from incoming shells. Preventative Maintenance may also be useful for lowering the risk of modules becoming incapacitated.
For tier 2 skills, Expert Marksman has limited usefulness due to Émile Bertin's already quick turret traverse time. Instead, Adrenaline Rush is recommended to help reduce the reload speed of the main turrets when the ship takes damage. Jack of All Trades may also be useful to reduce the reload time of consumables.
For tier 3 skills, Demo Expert is recommended to increase the fire chance of the main armament guns. Superintendent may be of use in granting the player an additional consumable of every type. Lastly, Torpedo Armament Expertise is recommended to reduce the amount of time between torpedo salvoes.
For tier 4 skills, Concealment Expert and Inertia Fuse for HE Shells are recommended. Concealment Expert provides a bonus to the detection range of the ship. Inertia Fuse for HE Shells will boost the penetration of the ship's HE shells at a cost of fire chance. This will allow the HE shells to damage some areas of Tier VII battleships that they would normally not be able to do. Advanced Firing Training may also be of use to increase range of the ship's anti-aircraft guns.

Consumables
Émile Bertin has access to the following consumables:
Mounting the premium version of the Damage Control Party consumable is recommended to reduce the time between each repair.
Camouflage
Emile Bertin does not have access to a premium camouflage purchasable with doubloons. Instead, it is recommended to mount Type 1, 2, or 5 camouflage for increased survivability. Other economic camouflage such as the Ocean Soul camouflage may also be used to speed up the process of obtaining the next ship.
