+ | ''Émile Bertin'' is a Tier V French light cruiser. Similar to most other light cruisers, she is equipped with 152mm guns. Her armor however is extremely thin, having only 13mm to protect her vital areas. Because of this light armor, the ship will sustain massive damage from enemy battleships and heavy cruisers. Rather than relying on armor for protection, ''Émile Bertin'' uses speed and range to avoid shells. With a top speed of 35 knots, a range of nearly 15km, and good turning characteristics, ''Émile Bertin'' can easily dodge incoming fire from enemy warships. Additionally, the main battery guns have a very sluggish reload time, further limiting the ship’s abilities in close quarters engagements. However, ''Émile Bertin’s'' armor piercing shells work great against enemy cruisers and other broadside targets. | |||
+ | ||||
+ | ''Émile Bertin'' is also equipped with a triple torpedo launcher per side. The firing angles of these launchers almost rival those of [[Ship:Katori|''Katori's'']], meaning that the ship does not need to turn much to be able to fire. The torpedoes are also quite fast and long-ranged for their tier, making them useful against enemy warships who get too close, or for area denial. | |||

+ | For tier 1 skills, there are several options worth training a commander with.

+ | For tier 2 skills, Expert Marksman has limited usefulness due to Émile Bertin's already quick turret traverse time.

Advanced Firing Training may also be of use to increase range of the ship's anti-aircraft guns. | |||

''Émile Bertin'' was a French fast light cruiser named after Louis-Émile Bertin, a 19th-century naval architect. She was designed to operate both as a minelayer and as a destroyer flotilla leader. The design was the basis for later light and heavy French cruisers, particularly the slightly larger ''[[La Galissonnière]]'' class of cruisers. This was the first French warship to use triple mountings. | ''Émile Bertin'' was a French fast light cruiser named after Louis-Émile Bertin, a 19th-century naval architect.

Émile Bertin — French Tier V cruiser.
In 1928, the French Naval Headquarters began developing cruisers to protect sea lanes. The demand for such cruisers was high, and the main requirements were a main battery of 152 mm guns and a displacement of 6,000 tons. The ship project had almost no armor, but it was fast. During World War II, Émile Bertin participated in the Norwegian campaign, delivered gold to the United States, and was involved in the landing of Allied forces in the south of France.

Performance
Émile Bertin is a Tier V French light cruiser. Similar to most other light cruisers, she is equipped with 152mm guns. Her armor however is extremely thin, having only 13mm to protect her vital areas. Because of this light armor, the ship will sustain massive damage from enemy battleships and heavy cruisers. Rather than relying on armor for protection, Émile Bertin uses speed and range to avoid shells.

Additionally, the main battery guns have a very sluggish reload time, further limiting the ship’s abilities in close quarters engagements. However, Émile Bertin’s armor piercing shells work great against enemy cruisers and other broadside targets.
Émile Bertin is also equipped with a triple torpedo launcher per side.

The torpedoes are also quite fast and long-ranged for their tier, making them useful against enemy warships who get too close, or for area denial.Pros:
- Émile Bertin is one of the fastest tier V cruisers with a top speed of 35 knots.
- The ship also has a quick rudder shift time and a decent turning radius which allow her to easily dodge incoming fire.
- The main turrets traverse quickly meaning that her guns will remain on target even during hard turns.
- The torpedoes are quick at 60 knots and have a range of 9.0km.
- The firing angles on the torpedoes are large, allowing the ship to fire them without needing to turn much.
Cons:
- The ship is very lightly armored. Her main belt reaches a maximum thickness of only 13mm.
- The main guns have a very sluggish reload time of 14 seconds.
- Anti-aircraft capabilities of the ship are very limited.

Upgrades
Émile Bertin has access to three upgrade slots.
- Slot 1: Main Armaments Modification 1. This will help reduce the likelihood of one of the main battery turrets becoming disabled.
- Slot 2: Aiming Systems Modification 1. This will reduce the dispersion slightly of the main battery's shells.
- Slot 4: Steering Gears Modification 1. This upgrade reduces that chance of the rudder becoming incapacitated.
Commander Skills
For tier 1 skills, there are several options worth training a commander with. Skills such as Priority Target and Incoming Fire Alert may help notifying a player when they are in danger of taking damage from incoming shells. Preventative Maintenance may also be useful for lowering the risk of modules becoming incapacitated.
For tier 2 skills, Expert Marksman has limited usefulness due to Émile Bertin's already quick turret traverse time. Instead, Adrenaline Rush is recommended to help reduce the reload speed of the main turrets when the ship takes damage. Jack of All Trades may also be useful to reduce the reload time of consumables.
For tier 3 skills, Demo Expert is recommended to increase the fire chance of the main armament guns. Superintendent may be of use in granting the player an additional consumable of every type. Lastly, Torpedo Armament Expertise is recommended to reduce the amount of time between torpedo salvoes.
For tier 4 skills, Concealment Expert and Inertia Fuse for HE Shells are recommended. Concealment Expert provides a bonus to the detection range of the ship. Inertia Fuse for HE Shells will boost the penetration of the ship's HE shells at a cost of fire chance. This will allow the HE shells to damage some areas of Tier VII battleships that they would normally not be able to do. Advanced Firing Training may also be of use to increase range of the ship's anti-aircraft guns.

Mounting the premium version of the Damage Control Party consumable is recommended to reduce the time between each repair.
Camouflage
Emile Bertin does not have access to a premium camouflage purchasable with doubloons. Instead, it is recommended to mount Type 1, 2, or 5 camouflage for increased survivability. Other economic camouflage such as the Ocean Soul camouflage may also be used to speed up the process of obtaining the next ship.
