Player Opinion

Performance

The first French Supership, Condé can be best described as a Henri IV on steroids. Featuring more guns, more torpedoes, and more health, the Condé is capable of performing nightmarish things to opposing ships. Sporting three more 240mm guns for a total of twelve divided evenly in a trio of quadruple-gunned turrets, the firepower of Condé is monstrous when firing either HE or AP. The ship is not only equipped with the Main Battery Reload BoosterWhen used, main battery reload time is significantly reduced. consumable, which can reduce the reload time of her guns by 50%, but also a highly effective Burst Fire Mode. Switching to this mode will allow Condé to fire off two full salvos from her Main Battery, with the added bonus of significantly increased accuracy and higher penetration for her High Explosive Shells. This means she is capable of either dealing a large amount of damage and almost a guaranteed fire with her High Explosive, or outright obliterating enemy ships who are caught broadside with a massive strike to their citadels using her Armor-Piercing. Despite the sheer amount of power that this Burst-Fire mode provides, the main drawback is the significantly longer reload time of 50 seconds which leaves the ship unable to return fire for a portion of time. Condé shares many traits with Henri IV, with very similar speed, armor, stealth, and consumables. One thing worth mentioning however is Condé does not have the reduced acceleration that Henri IV is burdened with, so it is much easier to dodge incoming fire by constantly switching speeds and shifting the rudder with the right skill and timing. Overall, Captains who are familiar with Henri IV's playstyle should feel very comfortable in the Condé.

Combat Capability - Alternative Firing Mode

BurstFireModule.png
Conde can alternate between a regular firing mode and a Burst Fire firing mode. Firing the guns with the alternative firing mode enabled will fire 2 salvos in quick succession, with improved accuracy and increased HE shell armor penetration. This firing mode takes much longer to reload.

Requirements:

Burst fire can be toggled on and off at will.

Effects:

  • +25% HE shell armor penetration capacity
  • -20% Maximum main battery shell dispersion
  • Reload time: 50 seconds
  • Interval between individual shots: 1.5 seconds
  • Number of bursts in a series: 2


Pros:

  • Extreme Firepower, Condé's twelve rifles are a major threat to any surface vessel with either HE or AP
  • Burst Fire Mode for the Main Battery can outright remove an enemy from the battle if used correctly
  • Very fast, capable of 40 knots with the Engine Boost and is not burdened with reduced acceleration like her predecessor
  • Equipped with both Main Battery Reload Booster and the Burst Fire Mode, the former can be used to accelerate the reload of the latter

Cons:

  • Burst Fire mode requires 50 seconds before the guns are reloaded and can be used again
  • Below-Average Concealment
  • As with all Superships, credit income is significantly reduced, and leads to money being lost more than earned
