Cassard — France Tech Tree Tier X Destroyer.

Cassard was a T-47-class destroyer in the first series of French destroyers built after the war. She was a further development of the Le Hardi class with larger dimensions and dual-purpose main armament. The primary function of the T-47-class ships was to escort aircraft carrier squadrons; as a result, they had moderate speed. As part of the French squadron, Cassard participated in resolving the Suez Crisis of 1956. Most of the ships in the series were decommissioned from the Navy in the 1980s.

Ship Change Log

• Preliminary characteristics.
• Main battery range reduced from 13.9 to 12.6 km.
• Torpedo parameters changed. Distance until which torpedoes deal maximum damage increased from 6 to 8 km.
• Changed parameters of the "Emergency Engine Power" consumable — Action time increased from 60 to 90 s. — Cooldown time decreased from 120 to 90 s. — Number of charges increased from 3 to 5.
• Turning circle radius reduced: 670 to 610 m.
• Surface detectability reduced: 8 to 7.5 km. — All other detectability ranges were adjusted accordingly.
• Torpedo parameters have been changed — Distance until which torpedoes deal maximum damage reduced from 8 to 7 km.
• Update 13.4:
  • Available for testing by supertesters in the game starting from Update 13.4.
• Update 13.6:
  • Available in early access as the final of 10 bundles in the French Destroyers event. The final stage of these bundles cost 20,000 doubloons.

• Update 13.7:
  • Fixed an incorrect propulsion value in the Engine module for the ship.
• Update 13.8:
  • Introduced into the game as a researchable ship in Update 13.8.
• Update 14.7:
  • Torpedo parameters changed:
    • Maximum torpedo damage reduced: 24,367 to 22,233
