Saint-Louis — French Tech Tree Tier VIII Cruiser.

A heavy cruiser project included in the last shipbuilding program during wartime. The ship was equal to ships of the preceding project but the absence of treaty restrictions allowed her to have a larger displacement and reinforced AA capabilities.


Year of Design: 1940

Ship Traits
Sure Shot: Shells with a good ballistic trajectory maintain velocity, making aiming easier.	Broad Launch: Wider maximum spread of the torpedo launcher.	Barrage: Equipped or can be equipped with Main Battery Reload Booster.
