It is at Tier VI that French destroyers fully different themselves by embodying a uniquely French characteristic. Starting with Guépard, French destroyers receive access to Main Battery Reload Booster (MBRB), a consumable currently found only on the French cruiser and destroyer tech tree lines from Tier VI to X and select French premium ships. Main Battery Reload Booster reduces the reload time of 's main battery guns by 50% for 15 seconds with a cooldown time of 100 seconds. The short duration increase in DPM afforded by this consumable can be used as just that - a DPM boost - but is significantly more valuable when used at especially crucial times, such as when dueling enemy destroyers, shooting AP shells into the broadsides of enemy cruisers, or attempting to stack fires on enemy battleships that have recently used Damage Control Party.

Another strength of the French destroyer line that starts with Guépard is her upgraded 139mm main battery gun. (While the rest of the line also equips 139mm guns, earlier destroyers from Tier II to V use 100mm or 130mm guns.) 's 139mm gun is the second largest caliber gun currently found on any destroyer
