Idk, this seems like quite an interesting ship. And not OP at first glance, which is good.

[@darkroom0716]

I'm a sucker for cruisers with guns bigger than 203s, but idk about this one. It is quick though, and that reload even without the booster looks pretty nice for some 305s. But theres the Marcielle...

Honestly, if you want a good heavy cruiser, get Sevastopol, much better overmatch and survivability than Brennus.

I find the lack of hydro to be more significant than the lack of reload booster. The reload looks great for 305 mm guns with cruiser dispersion, even if there are only seven.

[@jamesharrington001]

It's worse than what you mentoned, Siegfried and Savastapol both exist in the RB section. Both have highly accurate 15" guns and hydros. Not to mention Alaska exists, Stalingrad exist. I'll admit I was interested, a cruiser with fast reloading 305's, but right now, I don't know, 60k RB is a lot to ask for this ship.

People have no choice but to get It because I have most of these worthless ships just another average ship.

[@joedanker3267]

In the past, I've raised an eyebrow a bit when PQ complains about the aiming system and how it drags shells short of the target. Then I saw PQ's first few salvos in the Brennus . . . Now I'm beginning to think he might have a point.

[@Riaining7]

PQ is right. His takes are pretty spot-on in my opinion. His takes are primarily about the fun of the game, and that's what really matters to players. There are aiming bugs, and WG never talks about them. Took WG nearly a year for them to change the way AA worked after they butchered it around October'ish of last year. Before that October AA change, on my Vermont with max AA build with DAA, over 600 continuous damage, and I was capable of SOLO destroying a full set of planes before they could drop on me. Since then, I haven't been able to do it, and often times they get two full drops off, even when AA cruisers are helping me. The devs are out of touch, and they keep introducing 'new' ships, instead of giving us new gameplay. It's gotten quite stale for me.

[@magnus_bd6185]

@@ImpendingJoker Marseille has really good armour, if you stay angled you are bouncing everything. How can you say it has bad armour when even Yamato players get frustrated when Marseille bounces the shells. Bow and stern can obviously be overmatched but its the side plating that is the magical defense of Marseille

Brennus seems to be basically an H4 hyper specialized into the lighthouse build with the no hydro but better shell flight times and such.

[@UnknownDream92]

When Brennus got announced I looked at caliber and got excited for maybe Marseille sidegrade, maybe something akin to french Stalingrad judging by description. But it's bigger caliber Henry without majority of utility, peak disappointment. I guess I'll just get Colbert/Yolo Emilio or few legmods instead.

Carnot plus a Lighthouse/Outnumbered build its far better than this will ever be. Sure you trade armor but Carnot truly slaps. Id say give it a try and see how you like it

[@Karnsteinchen]

My PoV just from the raw stats is that compared to Marseilles you trade higher burst potential (9 guns with bigger alpha + Booster) for reliable DPM (better base reload + dispersion) and have torps as a last resort CQC weapon. So loosing the Booster isn't that much of a deal for me, what irks me is that WG doesn't give it any kind of hydro. With them playing box of gimmick and not sticking to national flavours religiously anymore, they could at least have given you a RN style hydro with short range as a self defence tool vs torps and subs that try to dive underneath you. Will still get it, I do have enough RB points , no other ships available except for the T9 dutchie (and come on, T9 RB ships are overpriced by default) and some leg mods for ships that I don't play often enough anyway to justify buying atm.

[@joedanker3267]

No reload booster in a French heavy? And WG wants me to grind research bureau points for it . . . 🤔

[@quoniam426]

I might get it one day. I usually don't play my Henri too passive because of the ballistics but Brennus seems way more adapted to Lighthouse build because of its lack of hydro, better ballistics and better kiting angle for foreward turrets. For that, I might reset the Russian ship lines that I don't play anymore for certain reasons... However, rebuying the ships might not be what I want, I don't have enough credits for that.

[@bradenwolf2179]

[@tsuaririndoku]

It took me like 5 years to realized this…. Kobayashi Camo was a Space Battleship Yamato reference…. On Yamato at her rear and the nose does have the anchor symbol which is a symbol that Space Battleship Yamato has in 2205. Not to mentioned the square thing itself are the reference to Space Battleship Yamato 2202 the time where Yamato use Gatlantis navigation system to navigate herself into the Gatlantian’s base. Apart from Japanese text. Kobayashi camo was really a WeeGee attempt to make a Space Battleship Yamato camo without being DMCAed. Now why I am finally realized this? Well, I rewatch SBY again this year and noticed similar patterns on 2202 and Kobayashi Camo. And I was like “How the hell am I missing this reference on Yamato herself!”

[@pauljohnson2023]

this ship has such a happy little face on the side of the smoke stack

[@Cryogen69]

Personally not a huge fan of large cruiser caliber AP, because they're not big enough to really overmatch stuff and citadel battleships at long range like battleships can (normal heavy cruisers can citadel other cruisers anyway), but they are still big enough to overpen on lightly armored parts, plus usually crippled by either relatively bad dispersion for a cruiser or low number of shells, so the only large cruiser I really enjoy playing is Stalingrad (even if it's only because it has enough Soviet BS to save it)

The problem is that it doesn't bring anything unique/60k worthy. It's literally a Henri with slightly bigger guns for which it loses its reload booster.

[@Yuri-kk1pm]

Next to Sevastopol with her 24 s reload, Brennus is a quick draw with 13.6 s. And with her accuracy and 305mm this is a big thing even next to Henri IV I am pretty sure they would increase basic reload of Brennus to 26 s to compensate a reload booster. I doubt we need another Marseille.

[@robinekhoodekful]

Seva has 380s, which is a huge diffrence, since you overmatch 25 mm

[@Yuri-kk1pm]

@@robinekhoodekful 380 makes a difference only in theory. They can put even 406 on Sevas and Sieg. What's the point to have 6 big guns, if you get 2 overpens with 1160, one torpedo-protection hit and two ricochets? And then you wait for 20 s more to repeat the same sh@t. Brennus would make 2 salvos when Sevas makes 1. And this is the main point if you want to make a difference in this game.

[@ryanbrochu3336]

So...... of the 2 305mm gun French cruisers, Car-nope and Brennus, the T9 Car-nope gets 10 guns and Hydro while T10 Brennus gets 7 guns and no Hydro. Huh?? WarGambling logic in full swing I guess. At least Brennus gets much better reload to compensate for the lack of guns, 13.5s vs Car-nope's 25s and better gun accuracy. Also, 60k Research Bureau points for Brennus is steep considering its basically a bigger gun Henri4. Especially considering it loses Hydro and more importantly, Reload Booster compared to Henri4.

I wish WG would innovate their game, and not just keep creating 'new' ships to sell to their players. Going for Tier 11 was a mistake in my opinion. The game is very slow and almost boring to play for most players, particularly with the zoomer generation, and generation alpha coming up. It would be great to get an engineering class, one or two per team that can base-build/or build resource capturing structures on captured islands, or establish AA emplacements on islands, or floating emplacements, or barricades at sea. Anti-submarine minefields, for example? There's not that much depth to the game. What can you do in game? Turn out slow or fast, or turn in slow or fast. Enjoy aiming bugs? The least they can do is give us more pve that isn't repetitive. Operations ain't it. The game is beautiful, it's just sad that it's so stale as it currently is. If they don't want to innovate the base random battles/ranked, the least they can do is give us game modes with completely different gameplay like what I've written above using base-building. BTW I can't stand the "Combat instructions" gameplay they introduced.... that's not gameplay at all. Did you shoot, or hit enough to trigger it? Hardly engaging gameplay, I don't consider it gameplay at all. Like random storms that emerge in the game and prevent people from shooting at targets for 10 straight minutes... not fun or enjoyable at all.
