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.

Player Opinion
Performance
Refer to the in-game Port screens for more useful data.
Pros:
- Faster than average main battery reload speed for a battleship
- Quick main battery traverse speed
- Outstanding AP shell penetration and excellent shell velocity
- Very good fire chance with HE shells
- Very good main battery range and accuracy, low dispersion and high sigma
- 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
- Weakest armor profile among Tier 8 battleships
- Very poor AA suite, very vulnerable to planes
- Has one less Repair Party charge compared to standard battleships (four maximum)
- Heavily reliant on precise aiming at range to make the most of its guns
- Champagne is too fragile to brawl effectively, limiting its secondary armament's usefulness
