Player Opinion
Pros:
- Large health pool - only Akizuki and Z-23 have greater health at tier VIII
- Large 138.6mm guns with heavy hells hit for high damage
- Le Terrible can equip the Main Battery Reload Booster , doubling main battery rate of fire for 15 seconds
- With a high top speed of 43 knots (matched only by the Khabarovsk) and access to the French improved Engine Boost , Le Terrible is the fastest ship in the game, able to reach a top speed of 53.8 knots with all available upgrades.
- Due greatly to her high top speed, in spite of her large turning circle Le Terrible handles well in maneuvers, having a rapid rate of turn.
Cons:
- No Smoke Generator consumable.
- Second worst concealment in her tier for destroyers, only behind Kiev.
- Combination of poor concealment and subpar torpedo range means launching torpedoes from stealth is difficult.
- Anti-aircraft armament is near non-existent.

Upgrades
Le Terrible is a gunboat destroyer, so upgrades suiting gunboat destroyers are useful for her, such as Engine Boost Modification 1 for her unique Engine Boost consumable and Aiming Systems Modification 1 . Concealment System Modification 1 is standard for almost all destroyers, and one's choice for the first slot will depend on whether one wants to farm Juliet Charlie flags.
The recommended upgrades for Le Terrible are as follows:
- Slot 1: Main Armaments Modification 1 or Magazine Modification 1
- Slot 2: Engine Boost Modification 1
- Slot 3: Aiming Systems Modification 1
- Slot 4: Propulsion Modification 1 ()
- Slot 5: Concealment System Modification 1
Consumables
Le Terrible can equip the following consumables:
- Slot 1: Damage Control Party
- Slot 2:Spotting Aircraft
- Slot 3:Main Battery Reload Booster
It is recommended that captains use Premium consumables to get the most out of the ship.
Camouflage
As a premium ship, Le Terrible comes included with Type 10 camouflage that lowers her detection radius, reduces the accuracy of incoming shells, reduces her repair costs, and increases the amount of experience she earns.
Signals
Le Terrible captains should mount standard signal flags to improve the ship's performance in battle. Sierra Mike () flags are highly recommended to increase the ship's top speed. Victor Lima () and India X-Ray () flags are recommended to improve the main battery's fire chance. November Foxtrot () flags can also be mounted to decrease consumable cooldown time. Lastly, economic and special signal flags can be mounted to increase the ship's economic gains per battle.
