Émile Bertin — French Tier V cruiser.

A light cruiser specifically designed to have the highest speed possible and a powerful artillery. The ship's small displacement was limited by international treaties so she received only minimal armor protection.

Player Opinion

Performance

Émile Bertin is the Tier V French light cruiser. Less a typical light cruiser and more of a "super destroyer", Émile Bertin sports heavy firepower and incredible speed, but almost no armor. Because of this, close-in slugging matches with enemy battleships and heavy cruisers are to be avoided at all costs. Additionally, the main battery guns have a very sluggish reload time, further limiting the ship’s abilities in close quarters engagements.

Rather than relying on armor for protection, Émile Bertin captains must use her speed and range to avoid incoming shells. With a blistering top speed of 39 knots, a range of nearly 15km, triple-mounted turrets with decent dispersion, and good turning characteristics, Émile Bertin can easily dodge incoming fire and pick the range at which it chooses to pepper the enemy. Émile Bertin’s armor piercing shells work great against enemy cruisers and other broadside targets, and a full HE salvo will crush most destroyers in 2-3 volleys.

Émile Bertin is also equipped with a triple torpedo launcher per side. The firing angles of these launchers almost rival those of Katori’s, meaning that the ship does not need to turn much to be able to fire. The torpedoes are also quite fast and long-ranged for their tier, making them useful against enemy warships who get too close, or for area denial.

Pros:

  • AB-X turret layout allows two-thirds of its firepower to be deployed even when bow-on.
  • The fastest Tier V cruiser with a top speed of 39 knots.
  • Quick rudder shift time and a decent turning radius allow her to easily dodge incoming fire.
  • The main turrets traverse quickly meaning that her guns will remain on target even during hard turns.
  • Excellent torpedoes with 57 knots speed and 6 km range, with generous firing angles.
  • Deceptively durable citadel when broadside. Most ships that come within below 5 km of her are guaranteed to over-penetrate it if they use AP shells.

Cons:

  • The ship is virtually unarmored. Her main belt reaches a maximum thickness of only 13mm.
  • Reload time remains mediocre at 13 seconds.
  • Modules are easy to incapacitate, especially the main battery turrets and engine.
  • Only one torpedo launcher on each side; half as many as the preceding ship in the line, Duguay-Trouin.
  • Anti-aircraft capabilities of the ship are very limited.

Research

Émile Bertin has only two purchasable modules: the hull and gun fire control system. Researching the second hull is recommended before researching the gun fire control system as it will grant the ship additional hit points, a better rudder shift time, and an upgraded anti-aircraft suite. The gun fire control system offers an increase in range from 13.6km to 14.9km.

Optimal Configuration
