Alsace — French Tier IX battleship.

Návrh bitevní lodi z Francie jako odpověď ke konstrukci německých bitevních lodí třídy "H". Tato loď byla další vývojovou fází bitevní třídy lodí Richelieu, ale na rozdíl od jejího předchůdce měla lépe vyřešené rozložení věží hlavní baterie a větší palebnou sílu. Jedna z verzí obdržela dvanáct 380mm děl rozložené mezi tři hlavní věže.

Pokračování velkolepé tradice francouzské bitevní linie od lodi Normandie, přináší Alsace dvanáct 380mm děl ve třech čtyřdělových věžích. Historicky navržená jako protiváha německých projektů bitevních lodí třídy H je Alsace dalším vývojovou fází Richelieu, třetí věž je umístěná na zádi ve stylu AB-X běžnou u bitevních lodí stejného tieru jako například Lion, Iowa, Missouri, and Musashi. Má více děl než jakákoli jiná bitevní loď stejné úrovně, jedná se o jednu z nejrychlejších lodí své třídy a úrovně, velké množství sekundární baterie, docela dobrá protiletadlová děla a skvělou pohyblivost. Alsace Continuing the grand tradition of the French battleships from Normandie at Tier VI onward, Alsace brings twelve 15-inch rifles in three quadruple turrets to the table. Historically designed to counter the German H-class battleship projects, Alsace is the next step up from Richelieu, carrying a third turret to her rear, with her guns laid out in the AB-X style common to her peers of Lion, Iowa, Missouri, and Musashi. She has more guns than any other battleship of her tier, the second highest base top speed, plentiful secondaries, a potent AA suite, and excellent agility. Vzhledem k nepřesnosti jejích hlavních děl ji činí méně účinnou na velké vzdálenosti a a 32mm plátování okolo celé lodi z ní dělá náchylnou k HE poškození. I když je tu možnost nastavení na sekundární baterie je největší efektivitou Alsace v soubojích na střední vzdálenost a při využívání její rychlosti získat lepší pozice nebo dát se na útěk. Se spotřebním doplňkem Engine Boost  a signálem Sierra Mike to nebude nic těžkého.

However, Alsace doesn't have everything going for her. She has the smallest guns at Tier IX at 15", leading to her lower overmatch statistic, meaning she can't overmatch bow armor thicker than 25mm. While her armor is decent, she has the second lowest health pool of all tier nine battleships; the lowest goes to British Lion, but while Lion has a super-charged version of the Repair Party 

consumable, Alsace does not. Alsace relies on her high mobility and properly angling her armor (made easier by her excellent turret arcs) to survive against her peers at Tier IX. Alsace comes fully equipped for aggressive and mobile game play, where cruisers are easy prey and battleships have no hopes of keeping up with the agile and swift Alsace.

Pros:

Well protected citadel, difficult to hit
Highly effective torpedo damage reduction of 44%
Twelve gun broadside with heavy-hitting power
Very fast shell travel time, easier to lead targets at long range
Excellent firing angles to the rear, ideal when kiting/angling away
Long range base secondary range of 8.0km, max of 12.0km when fully invested in
High top speed and access to the Engine Boost  consumable

Cons:

Covered in 32mm thick, vulnerable to large caliber HE spam and 460mm and larger AP overmatch
Slow main battery reload speed
380mm AP rounds cannot overmatch angled cruisers with 27mm of armor or better
Vulnerable to carrier strikes due to her thin armor and large size
Poor main battery accuracy due to her below average sigma value of 1.6

Research

Availability of researchable upgrades for Alsace is as follows:

Hull: Upgrade to Hull (B) for improved rate of fire on her 100mm secondary batteries, additional health, a modest increase in anti-aircraft firepower, and improved rudder traverse speed. Research of this module unlocks progression to République.
Gun Fire Control System: Upgrade to PCA n° 9 Mle 2 for an extra 10% range on the main battery.
Propulsion: Upgrading the engines provides an additional 1.6 knots of maximum speed.

Reaching the Fire Control System first is the top priority, as Alsace’s stock range sits at 18.4km, lower than all her peers. Her stock hull anti-aircraft suite is surprisingly capable, and the only major downside of Hull (A) is the base 23.2 second rudder shift time; this leaves captains with a choice between Hull (B) — to greatly reduce her rudder shift and improve her survivability and AA — or her Fire Control System to boost her range as their first upgrade. Finally, her Engine upgrade can be saved for last, as her base top speed of 30.4 knots already makes her the second fastest Tier IX battleship.

Optimal Configuration

Upgrades

As a Tier IX ship, Alsace has access to all six Upgrade Slots. Alsace can build for Secondaries or AA.

Slot 1: Main Armaments Modification 1

Slot 6: Main Battery Modification 3 or Auxiliary Armaments Modification 2

Commander Skills

As an agile but fragile Tier IX battleship, Alsace benefits from almost any improvement to her survival department, but her secondaries and AA batteries are perfect for improving.

-A battleship design developed in France in response to construction of the German [[Friedrich_der_Große|"H"-class battleships]]. The ship was a development of the ''[[Richelieu]]'' class, but in contrast to her predecessor, she had more powerful artillery that was arranged according to a more reasonable scheme. One of the design versions received twelve 380 mm guns that were placed in three main turrets.
