Talk about what the ship does well, what it doesn't, how it compares to same tier ships of the same type, how it compares to the previous ship in the tech tree, whatever. Try to avoid quoting vital statistics to players unless it is really relevant (i.e. concealment); they can see those in the sidebar on the right and don't need them read back. | 2.

Player Opinion
Performance
Marceau is the coal alternative to Kleber, she shares Kleber's hull, but her differences warrant a completely different playstyle. She mounts the 127mm guns of the Colbert, at the tradeoff of reduced HE alpha damage and slower ballistics in exchange for higher AP alpha. She also enjoys a concealment advantage over Kleber, and has longer range torpedoes.
Marceau differs with her sister Kleber in many ways, primarily her guns, which boast the highest DPM of any tier 10 destroyer in the game, however in exchange for these powerful guns she sacrifices the smokescreen of traditional destroyers, and her torpedoes lack range and reload extremely slowly.
This leads to a destroyer hunter type role, where she contests caps and runs down enemy destroyers with her extremely high speeds, while gunning them down with her powerful guns before quickly turning away and going dark to search for her next prey. She is a poor counter to cruisers due to her poor ballistics, and her extremely limited range means that unless the player takes upgrades, she sits dangerously close to battleships while trying to deal damage to them with her guns. Overall Marceau is best played as a destroyer hunter, while also making a mediocre torpedo boat and battleship farmer on the side.
Overall this leads to a playstyle that rotates around her powerful guns, but is limited by her short range and poor ballistics. Marceau is a powerful destroyer with the potential to turn around games in the right hands.Pros:
- Highest damage per minute output of all tier 10 destroyers
- Extremely high speed, topping out at over 55 knots
- Good anti-aircraft defenses for a tier 10 destroyer, with the defensive AA consumable
Cons:
- Poor maximum range of main battery guns
- Ballistics of her main battery guns quickly become poor at range
- Torpedoes are relatively low range, and their reload is very long
