Player Opinion

Battleship - Champagne

Pros:

• Great set of consumables
• Very fast with a base speed of 34 knots
• Main batteries have a quick turret traverse, fast reload time, high Sigma value, fast shell velocity and great fire-setting chances
• Rapid-firing secondary batteries with high fire-setting chances

Cons:

• Low HP pool
• Poor armor; turtleback is not the most effective and external armor is thin, meaning the ship is vulnerable to HE shells
• Mediocre main turret configuration
• Below average AA performance
• Secondary batteries have short range
