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.

Player Opinion

Pros:

• Long range for its tier.
• High initial shell velocity, gives Champagne great AP shell penetration.
• High Explosive shells have a good fire chance.
• 406mm guns allow it to overmatch 27mm of armor.
• A high top speed of 34 knots, plus the Engine Boost  and Sierra Mike signal means Champagne is one of the fastest battleships in the game.

Cons:

• Survivability is poor due to a moderate HP pool and lack of standard tier 8 battleship armor (has 25mm bow and stern).
