Fusilier — French Tier III destroyer.
This destroyer design was offered soon after the end of World War I. The reason for the ship's significantly increased dimensions was the wider range of missions the destroyer would be tasked with during military combat.

Player Opinion
Performance
Fusilier is a larger ship than Ens. Gabolde. She carries the same armament (plus a little AA with the B hull), just more of it - an added gun and 2 more tubes. She feels more substantial, not least because of the greater health pool, and has room for more powerful engines, yielding faster speed. But this is less stealthy and not as maneuverable.
Despite the lack of smoke, Fusilier is a formidable ship at tier, and feeds on enemy destroyers.Pros:
- Decent turret traverse.
- Four good guns.
- Good speed, plus an engine boost.
Cons:
- Torpedoes have small warheads.
- With more torpedoes, reload is much slower than that of its predecessor.
- No smoke generator.
Research
Availability of researchable upgrades for Fusilier is as follows:
- Hull: Upgrade to Hull (B) for a much improved health pool, better maneuverability, and some AA capability. Research of this module unlocks Bourrasque.
