Her current appearance resembles her August 1942 refit when the tripod mainmast behind turret "X" was replaced by a tiered deckhouse, designated ''pergola''. The placement of the AA guns is correct. However, she had eight twin 37mm/50 Mle 1933 guns. Four are missing and they were mounted on the quarterdeck. | |

She was never painted with Measure 22 camouflage, which was applied to French warships that were refitted in the United States after they sided with the Allies. Hypothetically, ''Algerie'' would have been fitted with standard USN anti-aircraft armament like the 40mm Bofors and 20mm Oerlikon, both of which are missing from the fictional Hull (B). As a trade-off, her torpedo tubes and aircraft installations would have been removed to accommodate more AA guns, both of which remain on Hull (B). | |||

Algérie — French Tier VII cruiser.
The last heavy cruiser built for the French Navy, and one of the best representatives of this type of ship in Europe. Among the cruisers of her time, she was distinguished by powerful armor and very good torpedo protection.

Player Opinion
Performance
Pros:
- Excellent range.
- Very good shell ballistics.
- Long range torpedoes with excellent firing arcs.
- Excellent overall maneuverability.
- Strong armor.
- Fastest Tier VII cruiser (with Engine Boost active).
- Low vertical dispersion like all French Cruisers.
Cons:
- Mediocre firing arcs for both forward and aft batteries.
- Poor anti-aircraft protection.
- High, boxy citadel, especially forward.
- Slowest Tier VII cruiser (without Engine Boost active).
- Even with speed boost activated, some fast battleships have speed to chase you down.
- Abysmal detection range.
Research
Optimal Configuration
Upgrades
Algérie has access to slots 1, 2, 3, and 4. The following are recommended.
- Slot 1: Main Armaments Modification 1 The main batteries of Algérie are her primary tools.
- Slot 2: Steering Gears Modification 1 All French cruisers from Tier III-IX have a vulnerable steering section.
- Slot 3: Aiming Systems Modification 1 Algérie has poor AA and little use for secondaries.
- Slot 4: Steering Gears Modification 2 This brings maneuverability into a "sweet spot" where Algerie becomes very difficult to hit at range.
Commander Skills
The following will serve well for most French cruisers, with special mention to Last Stand as a near-required universal skill for the line.

Consumables
Algérie can equip the following consumables:
- Slot 1: Damage Control Party
- Slot 2: Defensive AA Fire or Hydroacoustic Search
- Slot 3: Catapult Fighter
- Slot 4: Engine Boost
- Slot 5: Main Battery Reload Booster
Priority for selection of premium consumables should be as follows: Damage Control Party II, Engine Boost II, Catapult Fighter II, and last, either Defensive Fire II or Hydroacoustic Search II.
Camouflage
Algérie has no special camouflage beyond her available Type 17 Camouflage at this time. It provides the following benefits: -5% to post-battle service, +4% to the dispersion of ships firing at the player, -3% to the concealment of the ship, and +50% XP earned in battle.
Signals
Zulu, Zulu Hotel, Papa Papa, Equal Speed Charlie London, and Dragon Flag are left entirely to the discretion of the player.
