+ | The ''Charles Martel'' is based off the C5 A3 which is one of the preliminary designs for the unbuilt ''[[Saint-Louis]]''-class of heavy cruiser. After the success of the ''[[Algérie]]'' and the appearance of the German ''[[Admiral Hipper]]''-class, French designers, no longer restricted by the Washington Naval Treaty, began drawing up plans for a new class of cruiser based on the ''Algérie'' that would replace the aging ''Duguay-Trouin''-class. Many variants were proposed, but they could be organized into two groups: the "A" group carried aircraft while the "SA" (sans aircraft) traded aircraft for a heavier anti-aircraft and secondary armament. | |||
+ | ||||
+ | The naming conventions of the Marine Nationale are contradictory and annoying, therefore, Wargaming took one of the proposed names for the ''Saint-Louis''-class and gave it to the C5 A3. | |||

Charles Martel — French Tier VIII cruiser.
The design of the new cruiser was based on that of her predecessor, Algérie, using elements from the De Grasse light cruiser. A key feature of the new ship was the use of triple-gun turrets for the main battery, which helped increase firepower. One of the variants of the project involved the installation of aircraft equipment. The increased power of the propulsion unit was intended to increase her speed compared to her predecessor.
