Research
Researchable upgrades for Brest:

- Gun Fire Control System: Upgrade to PCA no 9 Mle 2 for an extra 10% range on the main battery.
Optimal Configuration
Upgrades
The recommended upgrades are:
- Slot 1: Main Armaments Modification 1
- Slot 2: Engine Room Protection
or Engine Boost Modification 1
*
- Slot 3: Aiming Systems Modification 1
- Slot 4: Propulsion Modification 1
*
- Slot 5: Concealment System Modification 1
- Slot 6: Main Battery Modification 3
or Gun Fire Control System Modification 2
Engine Boost Modification 1 is recommended in slot 2 for players that have large coal reserves, to further boost Brest's Engine Boost duration. But for those short on coal, it may be better to save that upgrade for Marseille.
In Slot 4, both Propulsion Modification 1 and Steering Gears Modification 1
are viable options. Damage Control System Modification 2
is available for players that want to reduce her 60 second fire duration, but is less optimal.
Commander Skills
The Honoré brothers feel particularly well-suited for the French large cruisers with their improved Grease the Gears skill.
Consumables
Brest equips the following consumables:
- Slot 1: Damage Control Party
- Slot 2: Defensive AA Fire
or Hydroacoustic Search
- Slot 3: Engine Boost
or Catapult Fighter
- Slot 4: Repair Party
- Slot 5: Main Battery Reload Booster
