Performance

Warning. The data presented in the AA Defense sidebar section may be incorrect.
For a graphic summary of ships Tiers VIII thru XI see LittleWhiteMouse's "Actual AA DPS".

Flandre is a Tier VIII French battleship based on Alsace.

Pros:

• Good main battery traverse speed
• Good shell velocity and AP penetration
• Good main battery HE fire chance
• Heavy secondary armament with good base range and firestarting capability
• Largest hitpoint pool among Tier 8 battleships
• Very good torpedo damage reduction
• Powerful long-range AA defenses
• Fast, with an unmodified top speed of 33.5 knots

Cons:

• Worse than average main battery reload speed at 33 seconds
• Very poor main battery HE damage output
• High AP penetration can lead to overpenetrations on lightly armored targets
• Small gun caliber for a Tier 8 battleship, cannot overmatch 27mm armor
• Huge turn radius and slower than average rudder shift
• Pitifully weak mid and short range AA, very vulnerable to plane attacks
• Extensively covered in 32mm common plating, vulnerable to HE/SAP penetrations and AP overmatch
• Lacks the Engine Boost  consumable
• The Repair Party  consumable has one less charge than normal (three stock)

  
  

  LittleWhiteMouse's Premium Ship Review: Flandre from the NA forums

Research

As a premium ship, Flandre has no upgrades to research.

Optimal Configuration

The straightforward shoot-and-survive build is optimal for Flandre for most captains. However, some may prefer a secondary build - quite fun in the right circumstances. Due to the poor forward gun angles of her secondaries, building them for brawling is not recommended.

Upgrades

The recommended upgrades for Flandre are:

• Slot 1: Main Armaments Modification 1
• Slot 2: Damage Control System Modification 1 
• Slot 3: Aiming Systems Modification 1  *
• Slot 4: Damage Control System Modification 2
• Slot 5: Concealment System Modification 1  *

In Slot 3, Secondary Battery Modification 1 if the captain is going for a secondary build.

In Slot 5, if the captain prefers to position well forward so that Concealment isn't an issue, then Torpedo Lookout System may be the better choice.

Commander Skills

While not normally considered optimal, for a secondary build take Inertial Fuse for HE Shells, Long-Range Secondary Battery Shells, Improved Secondary Battery Aiming, and possibly Pyrotechnician,
