They are missing textures for some reason.įor the classic reminder, this is a ship in testing, anything can change so don’t look at her like she would already be released. Finally, she is equipped with a Main Battery Reload Booster and a 20% Engine Boost. Other than that, she is thinly protected for a battlecruiser, except for the main belt. Her secondary battery is quite extensive and with an improved dispersion similar to Massachusetts or Schlieffen. However, she suffers from a very long main battery reload time and one of the worst dispersions for a cruiser. Just like Cherbourg, Brest features an all-forward main battery with some of the biggest guns you can find among cruisers. The problem is that with the mess that are the French archives, we know very little about this specific preliminary design. However, I was reminded that there was a preliminary version of the Dunkerque-class that could roughly fit the general characteristics of Brest. We are talking about a ship built around an armament from the mid/late 1930s but somehow, her superstructure is at best, straight from the late 1920s.Īs I see it, it is an up-gunned version of the 17 500 tons battlecruiser design and fitted with 330 mm guns. Considering the secondary armament and the illogical superstructure, I would categorize it as a pure what-if from Wargaming. Brest (and with a strong R please you bunch of horny boys) is somewhat in a weird spot when it comes to historical background.
