La Galissonnière — French Tier VI cruiser.
By the outbreak of World War II, La Galissonnière was one of the best light cruisers in the world. In contrast to her predecessor, she featured good main battery guns and the best armor protection among ships of this type. In 1943, cruisers of this class received enhanced anti-aircraft armament and surveillance radars.

Player Opinion
Performance
Tier VI's La Galissonnière has a main armament of nine 152mm guns on three turrets with an AB-X turret configuration, as well as a twin tube torpedo launcher on each side. Her main guns have fast shell velocity and decent range, along with a high fire chance for 152mm high explosive shells at 12%. While the reload is slower than other 152mm-gunned cruisers, this high fire chance makes her a threat to enemy ships, forcing them to use Damage Control Party to put out fires or suffer large amounts of damage. Her armor piercing rounds are decent at short ranges and plunging fire citadels are possible, while her torpedoes are different from those of most cruisers at this tier, featuring a 9.0 km base range and only two tubes per side. Instead of a point blank self-defense weapon able to delete full health battleships, La Galissonnière’s torpedoes are more long range harassment and area denial weapons, good for throwing around islands and into caps hoping to hit unsuspecting enemies.
Like most cruisers, she is fairly soft and will take large amounts of damage from anything that lands shells on her. She handles somewhat sluggishly, bleeding large amounts of speed in turns. However, while slower on paper, La Galissonnière is given access to the Engine Boost consumable, allowing her to increase her speed significantly and making her lower top speed a bit less noticeable. Her anti-aircraft armament is comprised mainly of quad 40mm Bofors and 20mm mounts, and while it's sufficient for self-defense, her long range AA power is badly lacking; she's not a ship that her teammates can rely on for anti-aircraft support.Pros:
- Actually has armor, unlike the preceding two ships in the line.
- Improved rate of fire over Émile Bertin, while retaining the advantages of AB-X layout and fast traverse.
- AA is good, but not incredible like the Cleveland.
- Low Sigma values like other French cruisers.
Cons:
- Only double torpedo launchers, instead of the triples of Émile Bertin.
- While rate of fire is improved over her predecessor, it is still worse than other cruisers at the same tier mounting the same gun.
- Steering gears get knocked out consistently.
Optimal Configuration
Upgrades
Main Armaments Modification 1 is recommended for Upgrade Slot 1 to improve the survivability of La Galissonnière’s main battery and torpedo launchers. Her AA is not really worth investing mods in, so Aiming Systems Modifications 1 is the top pick for Upgrade Slot 2. For Upgrade Slots 4 and 5, captains are encouraged to take Steering Gears Modification 1 and 2.
