Kléber — French Tier X destroyer.
Developed in the early days of World War II, this large destroyer design constituted a further development of the Mogador class. The main distinctive features of these new ships were the different combination of artillery guns and more powerful AA defenses.
Kléber was released on 17 September 2019 for the EU server.

Player Opinion
Performance
The Kléber is the final ship in the French Destroyer Line.
In general, there is no real difference between Kléber and Mogador the two ships make advances in the technology tree almost irrelevant. The Kléber is the same ship but slightly faster, with slightly more Health Pool, slightly more range, etc. The only real improvement from Mogador are the firing angles of Main Turret Four (Mogador requires to display a full broadside in order to be used) that go from very bad to absolutely amazing.
Look at Kléber as a bigger and better Mogador because her playing style is exactly the same.Pros:
- Fastest Warship in the game with unsurpassed 55.2 knots top speed with Engine Boost and Sierra Mike ()
- She carry the fastest torpedoes in the game with 75 knots speed and only Japanese Counterparts deal more damage
- Fast torpedo reload time with proper Commander Build
- Have most Health Pool of All Destroyers in the game
- Her 139mm Main Battery can Devastate enemy Destroyers and Cruisers in Close Range Duels
- Great Main turrets firing angles
- Great Torpedo tubes launching angles
- Fantastic ballistic
- Great AP performances
- Have French Spaced Armour Scheme allowing her to sustain big amount of punishment in knife-fighting duels with enemy Destroyers and Light Cruisers
Cons:
- No smoke screen (She depends heavily on her Speed and Terrain around her)
- Ammunition Magazine can be detonated very easy like on every French Destroyer
- She have Typical French Cruiser Rudders that can be disabled very easy
- Poor Base Reload Time of 7 seconds
- Torpedo Range is the Worst on Tier X with 8km
- Big Turning Radius (Things getting worst if you are forced to perform evasive maneuvers on full throttle)
- Higher than average spotting range by sea and by air
- Extra thicc (It’s a big target)
- Mediocre anti-air defense
- Not much progress from Mogador

Consumables
Kléber can equip the following consumables:
- Slot 1: Damage Control Party
- Slot 2: Main Battery Reload Booster
- Slot 3: Engine Boost
Camouflage
Type 1, 2, or 5 camouflage can be equipped for credits; Types 1 or 5 are recommended at a minimum to reduce detectibility range.
Players who wish to spend doubloons can equip Kléber with Type 20 camouflage that lowers her detection radius, reduces the accuracy of incoming shells, reduces her repair costs, increases her credit earnings, and increases the amount of experience she earns.
Signals
The choice of which Signal Flags to mount will confer to the individual preference of each captain, and are subject to great variation, although there are certain flags which suit Destroyer gameplay better. Captains should mount India Yankee to decrease time to extinguish fires, mount November Foxtrot to decrease reload time of consumables, and mount Sierra Mike to increase the ship's maximum speed. To make their torpedoes more potent, captains should mount Juliet Whisky Unaone to increase chance of causing flooding and Juliet Charlie to mitigate risk to magazine detonation from mounting the former flag. If captains wish to buff their primary artillery, they are encouraged to mount Victor Lima + India X-ray to increase fire chance to HE shells.Gallery
