11,000 doubloons

Bayard — France Premium Tier VIII Cruiser.

The further development of the La Galissonnière- and De Grasse-class light cruisers dictates an increase in the number of guns by a triple-gun turret, which could have resulted in an increase in displacement due to the added spacing. The standard displacement of such a cruiser would have been 10,000 tons, which could have allowed her to comply with the restrictions of the Washington Naval Treaty. The dual-purpose secondary battery was represented by mounts with 100 mm guns. Such a cruiser would have been a direct analog of the Town-class British cruisers or the Soviet cruisers of Project 68.

Pros

High damage per minute, further enhanced with Main Battery Reload Booster.
Good maneuverability.
Has access to an Enhanced Engine Boost consumable.

Cons

Repair Party consumable isn’t available.
Poor armor.
