Dunkerque is a French battleship featured in the game.

History:[]

As a fast battleship with powerful armament and decent speed, Dunkerque was the fastest and most powerful battleship of her time. Dunkerque's design was unique; 2 of her main batteries were armed only on her bow, while her secondary armament were installed in her aft end. Dunkerque was scuttled in 1942 and later scrapped in 1955. Her predecessors, Richelieu and Strasbourg, were later built.

Pros[]

  • Dunkerque is the only ship with her main guns arranged forward of her superstructure all able to fire directly ahead, which provides a host of new tactical options.
  • She's got an amazing turret traverse and rate of fire, making her well-suited to hunting enemy cruisers or destroyers.
  • Eight main guns in two forward-mounted quadruple gun turrets.

Weaknesses[]

  • Dunkerque lacks substantial rear armament.
  • Only two 4-gun turrets make her a little weak.
  • Only 2 turrets on the front prevents her attacking from the aft.
