Player Opinion

Performance

As a Tier VIII cruiser with quick-turning 203mm turrets, fast shells, and good speed, Charles Martel performs much like a quicker-firing and slightly speedier Mogami (due to her access to the Engine Boost While active, increases a ship's speed by a fixed percentage. consumable) with greater main battery range. Captains familiar with her contemporary in the US cruiser line — New Orleans — will be familiar with her main battery arrangement, but should welcome the addition of torpedoes to their arsenal.

The anti-air and turning capabilities are roughly analogous to Mogami, but Martel is slightly superior in both respects. Her shell penetration and HE fire chance are slightly worse, but Martel makes up for it in faster main battery rate of fire. Overall, Charles Martel is a strong ship at Tier VIII that can simply be described as a better Mogami.

Pros:

  • Decent Tier VIII cruiser health pool.
  • Decently armored.
  • Good main battery reload time.
  • Decent shells and shell velocity.
  • Very good turret traverse for 203mm guns.
  • Decent torpedoes for her tier.
  • Good turning radius and ship speed when combined with Sierra Mike (+5% to the ship's maximum speed.) signal and Engine Boost While active, increases a ship's speed by a fixed percentage. consumable.
  • Good concealment.

Cons:

  • Poor HE shell damage capabilities.
  • Poor rudder shift and weak rudder (prone to incapacitation).
  • High and somewhat exposed citadel.
  • Poor main battery angles for firing all guns.
  • Anti-aircraft suite is sufficient for self-defense, but little else.

Research

Quickly research Hull (B) for a much-needed and better health pool. Then research the upgraded Fire Control System module (as the reload is already decent) and finally the upgraded main batteries.

Optimal Configuration

Upgrades

As a Tier VIII MN cruiser with access to five upgrade slots, the following upgrades are recommended for Charles Martel:

Slot 1

Slot 2

Slot 3

Slot 4

Slot 5

Commander Skills

Consumables

' can equip the following consumables:

Damage Control Party II (When activated, instantly repairs fires, floods, and incapacitations, and prevents more for the duration.) is recommended in case the rudder is incapacitated and or the player does not use the Level 2 commander skill Last Stand. Engine Boost II (While active, increases a ship's speed by a fixed percentage.) is left at the player's discretion, as the ship already has a long Engine Boost While active, increases a ship's speed by a fixed percentage. duration and has the same cooldown as Damage Control Party When activated, instantly repairs fires, floods, and incapacitations, and prevents more for the duration.. Defensive AA Fire II (While active, the damage per second of large caliber anti-aircraft guns is increased.) is recommended for players with an anti-air build and Hydroacoustic Search While active, detects all enemy ships and torpedoes within the specified radius, without regard of obstacles such as smoke and terrain. for those looking to counter and or hunt enemy destroyers.

Camouflage

Type 1, 2, or 5 camouflage can be equipped for credits; Types 2 or 5 are recommended at a minimum to reduce the accuracy of incoming shells.

Players who wish to spend doubloons can equip Charles Martel with Type 18 camouflage that lowers her detection radius, reduces the accuracy of incoming shells, reduces cost of post-battle service, and increases the amount of experience she earns.

Signals

As with other French cruisers, the most recommended signal flags are Victor Lima (+1% chance of causing a fire for bombs and shells with a caliber above 160mm / +0.5% chance of causing a fire for bombs and shells with a caliber below 160mm. / +4% chance of causing flooding.), India X-Ray (+1% chance of causing a fire for bombs and shells with a caliber above 160mm. / +0.5% chance of causing a fire for bombs and shells with a caliber below 160mm. / +5% to the risk of your ship's magazine detonating.), and Juliet Charlie (-100% to the risk of your ship's magazine detonating.). Victor Lima & India X-Ray increase the fire chance while also increasing chances Martel getting flooding and being detonated, thus Juliet Charlie is used to counter the debuff effect. Sierra Mike (+5% to the ship's maximum speed.) can also be handy for getting around to places, as this increases Martel’s speed to a good 34.1 knots, which can then be increased another 20% by Engine Boost While active, increases a ship's speed by a fixed percentage.. Equal Speed Charlie London (🚫), Dragon Flag (🚫), and Zulu Hotel (🚫) can assist the player with increased experience gain per battle and faster commander (re)training.


Note: Use of the Juliet Charlie signal makes detonation impossible.
