This makes the transition down the line quite comfortable (at least, until reaching ''[[Richelieu]]'' and her 380mm guns). As far as ''{{#var:ship_name}}''’s place at Tier V, she fits well among most other battleships. Her top speed of 21 knots isn't anything remarkable, and veterans of the American battleship line will likely have painful flashbacks of how it feels playing a ship so slow. Certainly, being able to plan ahead will aid any ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' player greatly, as it takes too long to re-position otherwise.

Player Opinion
Performance
Tier V's Bretagne is like most other battleships at her tier in her turret layout and general firepower. She does not introduce anything revolutionary armor and protection wise, nor does she break any speed records. Any veteran New York or Texas player should be familiar with the play style needed to do well in Bretagne, though there are some key differences.
Bretagne introduces players to the staple 340mm guns found on the next two ships in the French battleship line, though in two gun mounts rather than the distinctive quads. This makes the transition down the line quite comfortable (at least, until reaching Richelieu and her 380mm guns). As far as Bretagne’s place at Tier V, she fits well among most other battleships. Her top speed of 21 knots isn't anything remarkable, and veterans of the American battleship line will likely have painful flashbacks of how it feels playing a ship so slow. Certainly, being able to plan ahead will aid any Bretagne player greatly, as it takes too long to re-position otherwise. Thankfully, 18.1 km of range makes the low speed somewhat more comfortable, and allows for greater map presence with her guns.
For a Tier V ship, Bretagne’s armor is not bad. It certainly holds it's own against equal tiered opponents, and her belt armor even extends up to the the bow of the ship, just above the waterline. Other than that strip of belt armor, she has the usual 19mm plates vulnerable to overmatch by any other battleships, so take care when fighting others.Pros:
- Main battery ballistics are great.
- Respectable AA.
- Belt armor extends to the bow.
- Third turret faces forward, giving it fairly good angles.
- Citadel is well sloped and protected.
- Relatively small for a battleship of this tier, which makes her harder to hit, especially at a distance.
Cons:
- Slow, at only 21 knots.
- Can be overmatched in most places.
- Turrets traverse slowly.
- Lowest health pool of all tier V battleships.
Research
Availability of researchable upgrades for Bretagne is as follows:
- Hull: Upgrade to Hull (B) for more hit points, more AA, and better rudder traverse speed. Research of this module unlocks progression to Normandie.
- Gun Fire Control System: Upgrade to PCA n° 5 Mle 2 for an extra 10% range on the main battery.
- Propulsion: Unlocking and equipping the upgraded module increases Bretagne’s top speed to 21 knots.
Optimal Configuration
Upgrades
The recommended upgrades for Bretagne are as follows:
- Slot 1: Main Armaments Modification 1
- Slot 2: Damage Control System Modification 1
- Slot 3: Aiming Systems Modification 1 or AA Guns Modification 1
Commander Skills
Key skills for Bretagne commanders include those that increase her survivability, and make her gunnery more comfortable.
