Special

Champagne — French special premium Tier VIII battleship.

In the 1930s, France and the U.S.S.R. signed the Treaty of Mutual Assistance that opened up, among other things, the ability to purchase military equipment from each other. On a Soviet order, Schneider developed a 406 mm gun that was planned to be mounted on Soviet battleships. The outbreak of World War II slowed down the construction of battleships in the U.S.S.R., and these guns could well have been used on battleships under construction in France. To fit the barbette of a 380 mm quadruple-gun turret, the 406 mm turret had to be made a triple one.

Champagne was sold for two weeks beginning 26 June 2020. She appeared again for one week on 9 October 2020.

Heavy secondary armament with good base range
Very high speed of 34 knots
Access to the Engine Boost  consumable

Cons:

Only six rifles in two triple turrets, low DPM
Smallest hitpoint pool of all Tier 8 battleships
Very weak armor profile, extremely vulnerable to HE spam and large caliber AP overmatching
Weak AA suite, very vulnerable to planes
Has one less Repair Party  charge compared to standard battleships (four maximum)
