Fusilier — French Tier III destroyer.

This destroyer design was offered soon after the end of World War I. The reason for the ship's significantly increased dimensions was the wider range of missions the destroyer would be tasked with during military combat.

This ship entered the tech tree on 24 Aug 2019.

Player Opinion

Performance

A definite step up from Enseigne Gabolde, Fusilier similarly embodies the French destroyer traits of high speed in lieu of a Smoke Generator. In contrast to her predecessor, Fusilier has an additional aft main battery turret and two more torpedo tubes. However, her larger size results in less stealth and maneuverability. Her detectability range of 6.46 km doesn't win any prizes, but is only 0.87 km higher (0.78 km with Concealment Expert) than her stealthiest competitor, Phra Ruang.

Despite the substantial armament and health pool upgrade, guns alone cannot win all 1-on-1 engagements with enemy destroyers. While Fusilier maintains much better turret traverse by far at 20°/s (10°/s is typical at this tier), Romulus shoots shells of the same caliber faster and for more damage. This necessitates that players either choose engagements carefully (Fusilier has a potent un-upgraded range of 9.5 km) or land torpedo hits (or both!).

Fusilier's B hull upgrade converts her two double tube torpedo launchers into two triple tube launchers - a significant upgrade. A single torpedo launcher's worth of 3 torpedoes (of which Fusilier has 2) is enough to take out even some full health cruisers, while a high speed of 34 knots (normal for Tier III destroyers) from Fusilier's powerful engines allows captains to charge ahead and deliver devastating torpedo strikes should they desire. Captains should note that, though still usable, the torpedo arcs on Fusilier are narrow in comparison to her predecessor's. Overall, Fusilier's torpedoes are on-par with other same-tiered destroyers - there are better torpedo-boats out there (e.g. Wakatake), but Fusilier isn't built as one - and captains will find her torpedoes helpful and used often.

A final thing of note: Fusilier's A hull has no AA and her B hull has a single 37 mm gun. Though she may face Tier IV carriers, her AA is weak like other destroyers at the same tier.

Despite her lack of smoke, Fusilier is a formidable ship at her tier, and readily feeds on enemy destroyers.

Pros:

  • Four good guns.
  • Decent turret traverse (best of all same-tier destroyers).
  • Outranges all destroyers but Valkyrie.
  • Good speed, plus an improved engine boost with +20% speed.
  • 2nd highest torpedo range (behind Romulus).

Cons:

  • No Smoke Generator While active, generates a smoke screen that blocks line-of-sight for both enemies and teammates..
  • Difficult to get all 4 turrets to bear.
  • Torpedoes have small warheads.
  • With more torpedoes, reload is much slower than that of its predecessor.
  • 3rd lowest health pool out of 10 Tier III destroyers when stock (4th highest with Hull B).
  • Most detectable Tier III destroyer (tied with Wickes and G-101).
  • Non-existent AA with A hull; Weak AA with B hull.

Research

Availability of researchable upgrades for Fusilier is as follows:

  • Hull: Upgrade to Hull (B) for a much improved health pool, two more torpedo tubes, better maneuverability, and some AA capability. Research of this module unlocks Bourrasque.
The Hull upgrade should be researched for the extra 1,400 HP, which is significant at Tier III, and two additional torpedo tubes.

Optimal Configuration

Upgrades

The recommended upgrades for Fusilier are as follows:

For Slot 1, Main Armaments Modification 1 -20% to the risk of main battery becoming incapacitated. / +50% to main battery survivability. / -20% to main battery repair time. / -20% to the risk of torpedo tubes becoming incapacitated. / +50% to torpedo tubes survivability. / -20% to torpedo tubes repair time. will keep her armaments functioning.

Unlike the French cruisers, the French DDs don't seem especially apt to lose their steering or propulsion. In Slot 2, Engine Room Protection : -20% to the risk of incapacitation. / -20% to repair time. is useful as incapacitation of the engine and/or steering gear can be fatal. With the Last Stand skill, Damage Control System Modification 1 : -5% to the risk of fire. / -3% to the risk of flooding when torpedoes hit the torpedo protection. becomes viable in Slot 2 as it can decrease the chance of fire and flooding.

Commander Skills

Key skills for Fusilier commanders include Preventive Maintenance and Last Stand.
