Colbert — French special premium Tier X cruiser.
According to post-war plans, the French Navy was supposed to receive six AA defense cruisers, but in the end, only two were built. One was constructed using the De Grasse hull, while the other was built from scratch according to a similar design. The project incorporated several modifications, comprising a reduced transom stern, greater hull width, and a novel armor system. Colbert was built in Brest. In the first half of the 1960s, the ship served as the flagship of the Mediterranean Squadron, and between 1970 and 1972, she was rebuilt as a missile cruiser.
Colbert was first released in August 2019 along with the Research Bureau, where she remains available for for 57,000.

Player Opinion
Performance
Colbert proudly serves at Tier X, representing France. She is equipped with numerous small-caliber main guns sporting lightning-fast turret-traverse time and rate of fire. This blistering firepower can prove to be overwhelming to nearly any ship unlucky enough to find herself on the receiving end of a barrage from these guns.
As a French ship, Colbert is fast. She has access to the Speed Boost consumable, which is most effective when paired with a sierra-mike signal flag. Players intending to deploy Colbert in open water must utilize her speed and employ evasive maneuvers in order to avoid being sent back to port prematurely. Colbert has a quick rate of fire, but her armor and low gun-caliber restrict her ability to hold out against more-heavily armored ships with large-caliber guns, such as her tech-tree counterpart, Henri IV. Her stock firing range is relatively lackluster, meaning that players should expect to devote at least four commander points and/or an upgrade module slot to extending her gun range. Colbert can be a very rewarding ship to play, but she demands a captain who will utilize her strengths to play strategically. Her speed can get her into dangerous situations very quickly--without a torpedo armament or access to a smoke screen consumable, a bold playstyle will likely be punished very harshly by the enemy. Luckily, she has access to numerous charges of the Repair Party consumable to restore hit points after a close call.Pros:
- Extremely high rate of fire.
- Extremely fast turret traverse.
- Decent anti-aircraft armament.
- Access to the speed boost consumable, providing a high top-speed.
- Decent concealment.
Cons:
- High citadel and large profile make for an easy target.
- Concealment, consumable, and gun range skills and upgrades are practically a necessity, limiting customization options.
- Relatively low alpha strike potential on anything larger than a destroyer.
- No torpedo armament, smoke screen consumable, or spotter aircraft.
