Sorry if this is getting stale but I like sharing history about ships: The three Duguay-Trouin-class light cruisers were the first major French warships built after World War I. They were excellent steamers and proved successful and seaworthy over a quarter century of service. All three achieved 33 knots (61 km/h; 38 mph) on trials and could easily maintain 30 knots (56 km/h; 35 mph) in service. Twenty-year-old Duguay-Trouin could still maintain 27.7 knots (51.3 km/h; 31.9 mph) at her post-war displacement of 10,900 tons. They were fast and economical, although with a limited range. The fate of these three ships after the French surrender illustrates the dichotomy within the French armed forces at the time: one ship was interned, then joined the Free French, another twice resisted Allied bombardment and was destroyed, and the third was disarmed at a French colonial port and subsequently sunk. Duguay-Trouin Duguay-Trouin was completed 2 November 1926 and served briefly in French Indochina in 1931. She patrolled the Atlantic for German shipping and commerce raiders following declaration of World War II hostilities. She patrolled the Mediterranean Sea from May 1940, and was at Alexandria with Force X when France surrendered. The ship was demilitarized at Alexandria for three years until refitted beginning in August 1943 by removal of torpedo tubes and augmentation of anti-aircraft armament by fifteen Oerlikon 20 mm cannon and six 13.2 mm Hotchkiss machine guns. Anti-aircraft armament was modified in 1944 to twenty 20 mm and six Bofors 40 mm guns, when radar was also added. Duguay-Trouin returned to the Mediterranean to support Operation Dragoon and Flank Force bombardment of German positions in Italy. She returned to French Indochina for post-war operations against the Viet Minh until scrapped 29 March 1952. Lamotte-Picquet Lamotte-Picquet was completed 5 March 1927 and deployed to French Indochina in 1935. She was Admiral Jean Decoux's flagship of French Naval Forces, Far East, during the 17 January 1941 Battle of Ko Chang against the Thai fleet. She was decommissioned at Saigon in 1942 where she served as a barracks ship until sunk by United States Task Force 58 aircraft on 12 January 1945. Primauguet Primauguet was completed 1 April 1927 and deployed to French Indochina from 1932 until declaration of World War II hostilities in September 1939. She then conducted Atlantic patrols, and evacuated French gold to North Africa. She recaptured the freighter Fort de France which had been seized by the Royal Navy en route from Martinique to France. In 1942, Primauguet had her anti-aircraft battery increased by two 25 mm Hotchkiss anti-aircraft guns and twenty 13.2 mm machine guns. She was sunk by the battleship USS Massachusetts and the cruiser USS Wichita on 8 November 1942 during the Naval Battle of Casablanca.
Not boring While I was in the army not the navy I am still fascinated with naval vessels myself. My RU-vid channel covers the USS Texas Which is about to go to dry dock The last time was in 1988 she will have her entire hull replaced, after drydocking she will be relocated to a new home probably in Galveston Texas.
This is a very good cruiser in my opinion. The AP slaps (as you showed) and so does the HE. I almost cried one time when a V-25 gunned me down from full health with AP. He was constantly citadelling me and I didn't even manage to kill him. But the torps are very nice and I enjoy the ship a lot. Thanks for showing it Spartan!
I killed Aaron on his stream before he went nuts when I killed him because he didn’t expect it to happen but then peek killed me :-( could’ve got a kraken if I killed peek I got xaur as well in arena btw
I am frustrated with just how "dark" the port is this time. Like, I can't even tell what the camo looks like. For us that are still grinding and unlocking ships, this is kinda frustrating. Great vid as always, I am only at the tier 4. I always perform well, but it seems to rarely translate into wins (same goes for my British cruisers). I have found really nice success with the AP too!
Roux is my guy NOT getting hit is king and with Baltimore and yamato as inspirations the ap is still awsome and more importantly you have good agility (double ruder)* if applicable *less range true but its good enough ....thats my French ca build up and down the line....and I'm sticking to it dam it .!!! Lol
Hey, Spartan the fatigue is a little gift from the Covid, it will pass in a few months or so. Hang in and keep doing what you do. My fatigue ended after 2 months.
@@SpartanElite43 Thanks for the reply, I have been playing on a PC but I don’t like the feel of the gameplay. I do not have any kind of gaming system but I’m considering going out and buying Xbox one X
