Duguay-Trouin — French Tier IV cruiser.
After researching the German designs and receiving information on the characteristics of the American Omaha cruisers, the project for the reconnaissance cruiser was revised. The final requirements for the project included armament of eight 155 mm guns in four turrets and a displacement of 8,000 tons. During World War II, Duguay-Trouin participated in patrol operations in the Atlantic and the landings of Allied forces in the south of France.

Consumables
As a Tier IV MN cruiser, players have access to the following consumables:
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.
Signals
As a Tier IV cruiser with a good fire chance, Victor Lima, India X-Ray and Juliet Charlie are the most recommended for extra fire damage. Victor Lima & India X-Ray increase the fire chance while also increasing chances of you getting flooding and being detonated, thus Juliet Charlie is used to counter the debuff effect. November Foxtrot can assist in reducing cooldowns for the consumables slightly, but may be life-saving (such as having Hydroacoustic Search ready and activated in time to evade enemy torpedo salvo). Sierra Mike can also be handy for getting around to places, as this increases Duguay-Trouin's speed to a good 34.7 kts. Equal Speed Charlie London, Dragon Flag, and Zulu Hotel can assist the player with increased XP gain per battle and faster commander (re)training.
