Special

Flandre — French special premium Tier VIII battleship.

One of the projects developed in response to received intel about planned German battleships included the armament of three triple-gun turrets with 380 mm guns, and it was essentially a development of the Richelieu and Gascogne classes. That option was rejected, and the project that led to the creation of the Alsace-class battleship was selected as the final one.

Flandre was first released for sale on at the end of March 2021.

Player Opinion

Performance

Flandre is a Tier VIII French battleship based on Alsace.

Pros:

Good main battery traverse speed
Good shell velocity and AP penetration
Good main battery HE fire chance
Heavy secondary armament with good base range and firestarting capability
Largest hitpoint pool among Tier 8 battleships
Very good torpedo damage reduction
Powerful long-range AA defenses
Fast, with an unmodified top speed of 33.5 knots

Cons:

Worse than average main battery reload speed at 33 seconds
Very poor main battery HE damage output
High AP penetration can lead to overpenetrations on lightly armored targets
Small gun caliber for a Tier 8 battleship, cannot overmatch 27mm armor
Huge turn radius and slower than average rudder shift
Pitifully weak mid and short range AA, very vulnerable to plane attacks
Extensively covered in 32mm common plating, vulnerable to HE/SAP penetrations and AP overmatch
Lacks the Engine Boost  consumable
The Repair Party  consumable has one less charge than normal (three stock)

LittleWhiteMouse's Premium Ship Review: Flandre from the NA forums

Research

As a premium ship, Flandre has no upgrades to research.

Optimal Configuration

The straightforward shoot-and-survive build is optimal for Flandre for most captains. However, some may prefer a secondary build - quite fun in the right circumstances. Due to the poor forward gun angles of her secondaries, building them for brawling is not recommended.

Upgrades

The recommended upgrades for Flandre are:

Slot 1: Main Armaments Modification 1
Slot 2: Damage Control System Modification 1 
Slot 3: Aiming Systems Modification 1 *
Slot 4: Damage Control System Modification 2
Slot 5: Concealment System Modification 1  *

In Slot 3, Secondary Battery Modification 1 if the captain is going for a secondary build.

In Slot 5, if the captain prefers to position well forward so that Concealment isn't an issue, then Torpedo Lookout System may be the better choice.

Commander Skills

While not normally considered optimal, for a secondary build take Inertial Fuse for HE Shells, Long-Range Secondary Battery Shells, Improved Secondary Battery Aiming, and possibly Pyrotechnician,
