Brest — French Tech Tree Tier VIII Cruiser.

After proposals for a cruiser with a 23,333-ton displacement were rejected due to limited capabilities, further development was focused on increasing the firepower and size of the ship. This led to a 26,500-ton design mounting eight new 13-inch (330 mm) guns in two quadruple-gun turrets—the foundation that eventually became the Dunkerque-class battleships.


Year of Design: 1932

Ship Traits
Full Ahead: Can be equipped with Engine Boost.	Barrage: Equipped or can be equipped with Main Battery Reload Booster.	Big and Flammable: Fires set on this ship last longer due to her large size and high caliber guns.
