Duguay-Trouin — French Tier IV cruiser.

The world's first large warship designed and built after World War I. The ship had virtually no armor protection but carried very powerful torpedo armament. An innovation that was implemented on this type of ship was the arrangement of her main guns in twin-gun superfiring turrets.

Player Opinion

Performance

One of the fastest cruisers at Tier IV, Duguay-Trouin boasts powerful short-ranged torpedoes, fast shells, and a great main battery firing range. She is roughly analogous to Tier V Russian cruiser Kirov: a poorly armored, speedy cruiser with good shells and shell velocity, large detectability radius, and very long main battery range.

Overall, Trouin’s profile is rather large and her main battery reload is on the slow side for 155mm guns, though the guns are comfortable to fire. Her rudder shift is worst-in-tier and her concealment is quite poor, which makes her an easy and obvious target for enemy ships. Additionally, her armor is virtually non-existent (like all other Tier IV cruisers). She has plenty of speed and a generous torpedo armament, though the range on them means that they are best suited for ambushes from behind islands or against distracted battleships.

Her rudder, along with the other French cruisers, tends to feel prone to incapacitations; captains may wish to equip Engine Room Protection : -20% to the risk of incapacitation. / -20% to repair time. and/or invest points into Level 2 commander skill Last Stand to help compensate.

Pros:

  • AB-XY turret layout is excellent for its tier.
  • Decent main battery shells.
  • Fast shell velocity.
  • Decent turret traverse.
  • Many torpedoes and good torpedoes for the tier and ship type.
  • Fast ship speed.
  • Can equip Hydroacoustic SearchWhile active, detects all enemy ships and torpedoes within the specified radius, without regard of obstacles such as smoke and terrain..

Cons:

  • Poorly armored (like most other Tier IV cruisers).
  • Slow main battery reload for 155mm guns.
  • Poor anti-aircraft capabilities (like most other Tier IV cruisers).
  • Slow rudder shift.
  • Poor concealment.

Research

Quickly research Hull (B) for increased health pool and better rudder shift. Then research the second Fire Control System module (PCA n° 4 Mle 2).

Optimal Configuration

Upgrades

Duguay-Trouin has two available upgrade slots. The following choices are recommended:

Commander Skills

Last Stand is critical as all French cruisers are prone to steering damage.

Consumables

Duguay-Trouin equips the following consumables:

Signals

As a Tier IV cruiser with a good fire chance, Victor Lima (+1% chance of causing a fire for bombs and shells with a caliber above 160mm / +0.5% chance of causing a fire for bombs and shells with a caliber below 160mm. / +4% chance of causing flooding.), India X-Ray (+1% chance of causing a fire for bombs and shells with a caliber above 160mm. / +0.5% chance of causing a fire for bombs and shells with a caliber below 160mm. / +5% to the risk of your ship's magazine detonating.), and Juliet Charlie (-100% to the risk of your ship's magazine detonating.) are the most recommended for extra fire damage. Victor Lima & India X-Ray increase the fire chance while also increasing chances of you getting flooding and being detonated, thus Juliet Charlie is used to counter the de-buff effect. November Foxtrot (-5% reload time on all consumables.) can assist in reducing cooldowns for the consumables slightly, but may be life-saving (such as having Hydroacoustic Search ready and activated in time to evade enemy torpedo salvo). Sierra Mike can also be handy for getting around to places, as this increases Duguay-Trouin’s speed to a good 34.7 kts.


Note: Use of the Juliet Charlie signal makes detonation impossible.
