The demand for such cruisers was high, and the main requirements were a main battery of 152 mm guns and a displacement of 6,000 tons. The ship project had almost no armor, but it was fast. During World War II, Émile Bertin participated in the Norwegian campaign, delivered gold to the United States, and was involved in the landing of Allied forces in the south of France.</p><p> </p></div>
A light cruiser specifically designed to have the highest speed possible and a powerful artillery. The ship's small displacement was limited by international treaties so she received only minimal armor protection.


|Performance=<!-- write text about performance in battles below -->
===Pros===
''Émile Bertin'' is the Tier V French light cruiser.  Less a typical light cruiser and more of a "super destroyer", ''Émile Bertin'' sports heavy firepower and incredible speed, but almost no armor.  Because of this, close-in slugging matches with enemy battleships and heavy cruisers are to be avoided at all costs.  Additionally, the main battery guns have a very sluggish reload time, further limiting the ship’s abilities in close quarters engagements. 
* Pro 1
* Pro 2


Rather than relying on armor for protection, ''Émile Bertin'' captains must use her speed and range to avoid incoming shells. With a blistering top speed of 39 knots, a range of nearly 15km, triple-mounted turrets with decent dispersion, and good turning characteristics, ''Émile Bertin'' can easily dodge incoming fire and pick the range at which it chooses to pepper the enemy.  ''Émile Bertin''’s armor piercing shells work great against enemy cruisers and other broadside targets, and a full HE salvo will crush most destroyers in 2-3 volleys.
===Cons===
* Con 1
* Con 2


''Émile Bertin'' is also equipped with a triple torpedo launcher per side. The firing angles of these launchers almost rival those of ''[[Katori]]''’s, meaning that the ship does not need to turn much to be able to fire. The torpedoes are also quite fast and long-ranged for their tier, making them useful against enemy warships who get too close, or for area denial.

|Research=<!-- write text about priority sequence of research below -->
</div></div></div>
''Émile Bertin'' has only two purchasable modules: the hull and gun fire control system. Researching the second hull is recommended before researching the gun fire control system as it will grant the ship additional hit points, a better rudder shift time, and an upgraded anti-aircraft suite. The gun fire control system offers an increase in range from 13.6km to 14.9km.

===History===
====Design====
Authorized at the same time as ''[[Algérie]]'', ''Émile Bertin'' was initially planned as an improved ''Pluton''. Initial designs envisioned ''Émile Bertin'' as a minelayer, but later designs emphasized on the ship’s cruiser qualities. The final design featured nine 152mm guns mounted in three triple turrets, a first for the French Navy. The cruiser’s light secondary armament was placed on the aft superstructure and her few anti-aircraft guns were mounted on the forecastle. ''Émile Bertin'' was built with very light armor which allowed the cruiser to reach speeds of up to 39 knots. However, her lightly built hull prevented her from salvo firing.
''Émile Bertin'' underwent several refits during her time in service. Her hull was strengthened shortly after she entered service in 1935 to better stabilize the ship when firing the main guns. ''Émile Bertin'' also underwent refits in the USA in late 1943. During this time, the aircraft catapult was removed and her anti-aircraft armament was strengthened. A radar mount was also constructed onto the foremast.


====Service====
''Émile Bertin'' was commissioned into the French Navy on 28 January 1935 and became the Flagship of the Atlantic Squadron of Contre-Torpilleur divisions. In 1939, the ship was stationed in the Mediterranean Sea. When World War II broke out, ''Émile Bertin'' carried the gold reserves of the Bank of Poland, about 57 tons of gold, to Toulon. In January 1940, ''Émile Bertin'' conducted several surveillance operations near the Canary Islands before returning to Brest, France for repairs. In April, under the command of Admiral Derrien, ''Émile Bertin'' and several destroyers  supported Allied operations in Norway. ''Émile Bertin'' was attacked and damaged by German aircraft during these operations and again returned to Brest for repairs. With her repairs complete, the cruiser sailed for Nova Scotia twice, transporting gold from the Bank of France. Upon her second arrival in Nova Scotia, ''Émile Bertin'' was ordered to not unload her cargo and instead return to France for further orders. The ship arrived in Fort de France, unloaded her cargo, and prepared to defend the island from an expected British attack. The cruiser remained off the coast of Fort de France until 16 May 1942, when Vichy forces immobilized the ship. In August 1943, ''Émile Bertin'' sailed to Philadelphia to undergo modernizations.  Having rejoined the Allied cause, ''Émile Bertin'' sailed to Dakar in December 1943 and spent much of 1944 supporting the landing operations in south France. In December 1944, ''Émile Bertin'' again underwent several refits which lasted until October the following year. In late 1945, the ship sailed for Indo-China where she remained until 2 July 1946. Upon returning to France, ''Émile Bertin'' served as a gunnery training ship until she was scrapped in October 1959.

* The twin 40mm Bofors on Hull (B) is fictitious. The placement of the guns on turret roofs, particularly "B" turret, obstructs the view of the conning tower as well as the player's vision when in first-person view.

* Measure 22 camouflage is missing (Navy Blue hull and Haze Gray upperworks with Deck Blue for horizontal surfaces). ''Émile Bertin'' received this paint scheme while under refit at Norfolk Navy Yard in late 1943.
* Final anti-aircraft configuration consisted of four quad 40mm Bofors, 20 single 20mm Oerlikons and two twin 90mm dual-purpose guns. Both triple torpedo tubes, seaplanes and the aircraft catapult were removed.

Émile Bertin — France Tech Tree Tier V Cruiser.

In 1928, the French Naval Headquarters began developing cruisers to protect sea lanes. The demand for such cruisers was high, and the main requirements were a main battery of 152 mm guns and a displacement of 6,000 tons. The ship project had almost no armor, but it was fast. During World War II, Émile Bertin participated in the Norwegian campaign, delivered gold to the United States, and was involved in the landing of Allied forces in the south of France.
