De Grasse — French Premium Tier V Cruiser.

According to the draft design in 1938, the light cruiser De Grasse was developed from the La Galissonièrre-class ships, and had their main advantages: heavy armor and good main battery guns. She had distinctive AA armament, increased speed, and slightly reinforced torpedo tubes.


Year of Design: 1938

Ship Traits		Premium Trait
Agile: Above average ability to change direction.	Nimble Aim: Above average main battery traverse speed. Gives an edge in close quarters combat.	Money Maker: Grants a significant bonus to XP and credit earnings.

Player Opinion

Pros:

• Main battery turrets traverse quickly, taking only 15 seconds for a 180° turn.
• Good main battery range.
• Torpedoes have a range of 9 km with decent 60 knot speed.
• Wide torpedo launching angles.
• High top speed which can be increased with the potent French Engine Boostconsumable.

Cons:

• Deck armor is nearly non-existent; bomb hits from carriers can easily penetrate and land citadel hits.
• While her reload time is faster than both Émile Bertin and La Galissonnière, it is still slow compared to other cruisers carrying 152 mm guns.
• Landing hits at full range is hard due to horrid dispersion.
• Only three torpedoes per side. Her torps should not be relied on to win fights with battleships.
• Secondary guns are quite disappointing; their damage output is very low.
• AA suite is woefully inadequate. Even with Defensive AA Fire and Catapult Fighter, barely half of a Tier V squadron can be shot down.
• The ship’s rudder can be incapacitated very easily.
