WoWsLIconBlack.pngShip Overview

Legends_La_Foudre_splash.png

Legends_Battleship_Icon2.png La Foudre — French • Premium • Tier VII • Battleship.

The favorite vessel of pirate legend Michel Le Tir packs quite a punch! La Foudre is the flagship of the French pirate fleet, and for good reasons: she's speedy, agile and dangerous with her enhanced secondaries, just like any pirate wants their ship to be. If you think she resembles battleship Jean Bart, you're onto something—Le Tir spent years recreating the ship that bore his idol's name.

La Foudre was temporarily released in the store from December 1st to December 12th, 2022, in relation to the special "pirates" event.

Player Opinion

Battleship - La Foudre

Pros:

  • Access to Main Battery Reload BoosterLegends_MBRB.pngand quick reload makes it a quick firing threat.
  • Maximum speed of 30 knots and the speed boosts allows faster positioning on the map.
  • Front facing quad turrets, will help to push in without exposing broadside.
  • Secondary batteries have good range, quick reload time, improved accuracy and good fire-setting chances.



Cons:

  • Turrets break easily due to low HP.
  • Weak broadside armor allows easy damage to enemy players.
  • Below average HP, large superstructure and 32 mm plating almost everywhere makes it vulnerable to HE spam.
  • Secondary batteries have low penetration.
