Jean Bart — French special premium Tier IX battleship.
Jean Bart, the second Richelieu-class battleship, was launched after the outbreak of World War II. To prevent her from being captured by the enemy, the unfinished ship was taken to Casablanca, where construction continued. During the Allied landings in Casablanca, Jean Bart put up resistance and was heavily damaged by battleship Massachusetts. The construction of the ship was completed only after the war.

Player Opinion
Pros:
- Fast rudder shift and small turn circle makes her a champion at dodging torpedo.
- Very fast reload can be dropped even further with reload boost makes her able to kill most ships in close quarters combat with ease.
- Rapid fire secondaries with good fire chance makes pummeling enemy destroyers and burning battleships rather easy with an amazing range.
- One of the best AA suites at tier 9 make her a deadly ship against enemy squadrons.
Cons:
- Lowest HP of any tier IX Battleship
- 32mm plating vulnerable to HE spam
- Weakest broadside of any tier 9 battleship with little overmatch ability.
- Most AA power is in weak mid-range mounts.
- Most secondaries are unable to deal direct damage to many surface targets.
- Secondary guns can get easily taken out with HE spam.
