French Coastal discussion - what's new, what can be added

The boats on the right side look like P400 class.

  • But yea, Dev stream/Dev Server/datamine will reveal all in short order soon enough.

I just want one good meta coastal ship… and E50/E52 class :)

Because it is originally British ship. 25-pounder army gun on landing craft to support landing operation.

I assume this is all the new ships for this dev server build?

Sad Amagi isn’t here, but thrilled to see Mogador! She also gives us another KanColle character in WT, having been added to KC only a month ago. :)

“la surprise”? Surprise in deed!

So there’s much more than what was presented in the Dev Stream. Nice, hope it makes it to the release.

Though sadly none of those is remotely comparable to… well… any random Soviet Rank V coastal vessel. And this is not for the lack of vessels built, as French, and BeNeLux, had plenty of competetive ships to choose from.


it is :)

true, no high tier frigates nor corvettes. None of ships is 4.3-4.7 worthy tho, so there is still chance of something being tested

Mogador???

I’m mogging out right now

Very strange to see a second laid-down-only Battlecruiser for USSR, and yet, still no USS Lexington Battlecruiser or USS South Dakota (BB-49) for USA…

not really suprising given lack of designs russia managed to complete and tons of ships USA has to choose from. Stranger is that france is still without it top tier BB and Italy also misses a 2nd one to the lineup, even with one possible laid down ship. But I think this is a discussion for a different place:b

Fair, fair. All of those really should be fixed.

In addition, they seem to want to go in class order for the American BBs, so with Tennessee coming this patch it should be a Colorado next, then a '20s-era South Dakota and/or a Lexington.

To everyone excited about Mogador be mindful that French twin turret had historically rather bad rate of fire that particular design on Mogador didn’t even reach 10 rounds per minute. So be prepared for that.

Well then it would be 4.7 and I could kick out Duguay-Trouin from my French 4.7 deck which consist of Le Trimphant and Le Malin.

with max rate ever achieved - 9rpm, it could get to 5.0 but with general average 6-7rpm it might end up at 4.7.

Arras

Mogador
