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.

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.
