[@anthonybrown6413]

I think that the void in the French armor scheme is filled with baguets, so it helps absorb the shell impacts and lessen the damage.

[@Joshua-fi4ji]

There's also some wine in there, which ish why sometimes it takes citadels. Have you seen how much mess an exploding bottle of wine makes?

[@MattVF]

They did use something called ebonite mousse ( a rubber compound I believe) as part of the TDS on the Dunkerque class!

[@Gundolf300]

The thing with those guns is that they follow the fremch high tier recipe. Blazing fast shell speed, really high pen and really high ap dmg. Its just that on top of that it has overmatch and blazing fast reload.

[@tonepilot]

Fast BBs just get me into trouble quicker.

[@irishwind1971]

I've used the French BBs twice this year for Research Bureau points. They are fun and easy to use, especially tiers 5 and 6.

[@prisonerofthehighway1059]

The other thing to remember is that even the cheap special commanders get improved AR. French BBs are definitely designed for dpm.

[@mertc8050]

21 sec reload and secondary build its very good

[@bumblebity2902]

This ship is not for brawling anymore. She's sniping ship

[@mertc8050]

@@bumblebity2902 nope she isnt a sniper sniper would be slava. Republique can work at ANY range

[@jakubslavik5595]

In late game, maybe, it could be helpful. How do you get there in the first place? Yep, by speccing into survivability, by being mid to long range.

[@bumblebity2902]

@@mertc8050 How about Japanese and American ships?

[@jakubslavik5595]

@@bumblebity2902 If you mean premiums, US ships like Georgia, Ohio, yes you can spec them into secondaries without sacrificing much, you get good accuracy and fire rate, good fire starting capability, low pen. You don't have to sacrifice too many points for them to actually work, the only thing you need to invest into is range. IJN premiums are debatable, someone likes to build them into secondaries, because they often get either many or rapid firing 100 mm guns with 30 mm penetration, and they also often get torpedoes, which also helps during brawling. Ships like Mutsu, KI, Iwami, Daisen, Shikishima?, could be still effective with a secondary build, however they either possess easily exploitable armor, the secondary angles are pretty bad or both. However as with French BBs, it is meme worthy, the difference being the IJN 100mm's can deal pretty good dmg thanks to the improved pen. The premiums are the only you can get to work, don't build tech tree IJN and US, it is stupid, you don't get torpedoes, better pen, better accuracy, nothing. I see potatoes with a secondary build in Yamatos, Montanas all the time and it doesn't work, don't do it, it is stupid. It's like shooting HE with a Yamato, you just don't do it, the only passable situation would be that DDs are the only ships left.

[@duncanmacraven4024]

I just played her in the test server tonight, ya. Though I built up the secondaries to 12km. So much fun with those main guns

[@pickeljarsforhillary102]

I love dealing citadels in my Republic originally named Bonaparte

[@Qunia]

The republique has to be my favorite BB I’ve gotten so far The 22 second reload is just soo damn nice.

[@Deathelement53]

I've had it since it came out and one of the best things about this ship is people think just because you shot (maybe with HE) that they can get away with getting their back gun off in time or to turn out. NOPE this shot always punishes it and it forces them to either take 20k dmg or stay where they are

[@skipper4126]

in a game these designs are whacky, in RL they make sense, conservative sure, but the french BB's have a lot of small secondary mounts that in a RL situation would be very very nice.

[@kaollachan]

what your opinion on Rep legendary module? it is good? or better take the normal reload modul?

[@mattgearytransplanted]

played with it for a bit. you can really get the reload down, but your range is a major handicap in this day and age. I feel like you need to get too close too early and you suffer for it. went back to the reload mod.

[@mertc8050]

Rep leg mod is an iq test to see if you are dumb enough to waste bureu points on it for a worse rep 6km range nerf is stupid m8 use the og reload mod

[@verde5738]

Trash, the trade is not worth it AT ALL. Stick with the regular reload module you'll get better results.

[@ottaviobasques]

Repúblique is a Gascogne on steroids, the Gasco is a nice ship, so, you can't expect less from the t10. And no, her guns aren't 17.5-inch, it's 431mm, flat 17.

[@Alex_Guy1011]

I wonder what's with all those weird made-up gun calibers? 17-inch? Couldn't they have just realistically given those ships what was already logistically on hand, like say, what the Bourgogne has? Would definitely prevent Patrie from being a pain in the ass. Rapeublique too.

[@ottaviobasques]

@@Alex_Guy1011 Well, the French actually had guns of that calibre, althought they were mostly howitzers of the late 1800s.

[@BlackHearthguard]

@@ottaviobasquesActually, 431mm is 16.9".

[@brett76544]

I was thinking a certain tier 5 Italian premium BB. the CG.

[@roklo]

Republique or St Vincent, which to get?

[@monkeyrater]

If you get the upgrade for the speed boost you get very long fast speed, well enough to get on station quickly. Overall it plays like a battlecruiser which I like. Its not as good as St Vincent or Schlieffen, those two are the best in the game by far, huge accurate long range guns, fast, good health, good turret traverse, they are just way beyond any other BB in the game.

[@cyberwaste]

I really like this ship. It has awesome guns. I tend to avoid playing tier 10 because the current meta is turned up to 11 on the Asia server, and I prefer not to spend 17 minutes sniping.

[@Apollyon-er4ut]

I don't play her a lot, but never felt is was a poor BB. It always seemed better than average, and the reloads is a boon. By the way, 16.97 inches for the 431mm.

[@daniellambert1217]

To be fair about th e fire chances on this ship , conqueror has only a %51 fire chance with the flags and commander skill , so as far as it being bad at %48 ...... i would argue that point with the montana coming in with a base chance of %36 . not trying to pick holes but i would suggest a little refresh from time to time before proclaiming something . keep up the good work though , really enjoy your usual Vids and updates from the dev`s .

[@bencoory5917]

Just keep in mind both of those ships have 12 guns

[@daniellambert1217]

[@shaunli4295]

republique has the second highest pen at range out of all bb's, (second to Slava)

[@ImpendingJoker]

She's a good ship but better as a secondary build. You missed a lot of damage by not having that.

[@lightbluewaves5526]

That's... debatable, like Flandre for example is a secondary french BB. On paper it says she has the highest Dpm secondary guns, they fire rapidly that's true. But...french secondaries don't really pen that well so most hits won't do much unless it hits the superstructure and you are quite dependent of setting fires. (Is at least better than Italian secondaries though) You can invest in IFHE that helps but than they can barely start fires. I feel like Republique shares the same issues. Not saying it's the worst build you can put on her, it can be meme worthy, but I feel like tank build would work better on Republique, cause I don't want my front turret to get knocked out lol

[@jakubslavik5595]

[@verde5738]

It's a solid mid-range Cruiser destroyer. 21s reload with 30mm overmatch and high velocity craps on Cruisers trying to be cute and angle. Don't bother with secodnaries go full tank/main battery build and you'll get good results.

[@QALibrary]

Sorry, for me its one of the worst BBs in T10, thats why you see so few. With the aiming bugs of the game you cant hit nothing and when you do its low damage almost all the time, Oh and you die really quickly, its huge, easy to hit. The only good thing is the fast reload but with 4 guns or 8 if youre feeling lucky and with that dispersion you hit one on target only. Nope< rubish ship.
