The cruiser differed from her predecessors by her shorter and wider flush-deck hull, and her propulsion was implemented according to a linear scheme. At the beginning of World War II, Algérie participated in patrol and escort missions, including escorting ships with gold.</p><p> </p></div>
The last heavy cruiser built for the French Navy, and one of the best representatives of this type of ship in Europe. Among the cruisers of her time, she was distinguished by powerful armor and very good torpedo protection.


|Performance=<!-- write text about performance in battles below -->
===Pros===
''Algérie'' is one of the strongest Tier VII cruisers yet available for research. Possessing superb range, ''Algérie'' is best played as a second line ship, lending fire support from behind friendly battleships. ''Algérie'' has strong armor, range-performant AP, and good HE with an average fire chance. Players should look to use range to increase their ability to evade incoming fire, and the Engine Boost consumable allows for re-positioning opportunities at a whim.
* Pro 1
* Pro 2


|Pros=<!-- write list of positive points below. use * as in ordinary wiki-list. -->
===Cons===
* Excellent range.
* Con 1
* Very good shell ballistics.
* Con 2
* Long range torpedoes with excellent firing arcs.
* Excellent overall maneuverability.
* Strong armor.
* Fastest Tier VII cruiser (with [[Ship:Consumables#Engine Boost|Engine Boost]] active).
* Low vertical dispersion like all French Cruisers.


|Cons=<!-- write list of negative points below. use * as in ordinary wiki-list. -->
* Mediocre firing arcs for both forward and aft batteries.
* Poor anti-aircraft protection.
* High, boxy citadel, especially forward.
* Slowest Tier VII cruiser (without [[Ship:Consumables#Engine Boost|Engine Boost]] active).
* Even with speed boost activated, some fast battleships have speed to chase you down.
* Abysmal detection range.


|Research=<!-- write text about priority sequence of research below -->
==Ship Stats==
Because ''Algérie'' is so reliant on range for protection, players will find the increased maneuverability provided by the "B" hull to be helpful in survival, especially when bottom tier. Additional range provided by the Gun Fire Control System module is the only other available option.

===History===


====Design====
'''Damage by shell explosions'''
In 1930, the ''Marine Nationale'' was to receive another heavy cruiser following the ''Duquesne'' and ''Suffren'' classes. Using the experience gained in the construction of the six ships of the ''Duquesne'' and ''Suffren'' classes as well as advances in construction techniques and propulsion design, a large amount of tonnage was made available for additional protection.

|}


Named ''Algérie'', the new cruiser would have a 110mm belt, 40mm of protection for the engineering spaces, an 80mm armored deck, and 60mm transverse bulkheads protecting the engineering spaces and magazines. The upper deck would receive 20-22mm of armor, and a liquid/void system was integrated into the hull to provide torpedo protection.
'''Algérie (B)'''


''Algérie'' received quadruple screws, a single large rudder, one funnel, and a command tower in place of the distinctive tripod foremasts of the preceding ''Duquesne'' and ''Suffren'' classes. ''Algérie'' would be flush-decked.

All of this would combine to create what was perhaps the single best cruiser ever built under the restrictions of the Washington Naval Treaty.

'''Damage by shell explosions'''
In early 1937, ''Algérie'' received a larger rangefinder and a windscreen to the admiral's bridge. Early 1938 saw a redistribution of light AA mounts, with the two quad 13mm being removed forward from the boat deck to the conning tower and quarterdeck. In late 1938, a second 8m rangefinder was fitted to the III turret, and the catapult was strengthened to accommodate the new Loire 130 seaplane. Between December 1939 and January 1940, the single 37mm AA mounts were replaced by twin 37mm mounts.

After the armistice signed on the 22nd of June, 1940, ships remaining in service to Vichy France were disallowed from receiving additional armament. Thus, in an attempt to improve the AA arrangement on ''Algérie'', the mainmast was removed to the forward end of the signal tower and the aft end of the shelter deck was converted into an AA platform. Two twin 37mm mounts were placed on the admiral's bridge, and four 13mm twin mounts were relocated to forward and aft of the fore and stern 100mm mounts both port and starboard.


====Service====
<!-- Add the ship code here to populate the upgrade table -->
Commissioned in September of 1934, ''Algérie'' joined the 1st Cruiser Squadron as the flagship, where she would serve until 1939, when she became flagship of the 3rd Cruiser Squadron. After the declaration of war against Germany, ''Algérie'' joined the battleship ''Strasbourg'', cruiser ''Dupleix'', and British carrier ''Hermes'' at Dakar to search for German raiders in the Atlantic. These operations continued into late November, when ''Algérie'' was returned to Toulon for refit. Between March and April of 1940, ''Algérie'' and ''Bretagne'' undertook to transport gold to Canada in payment for war supplies.

In June 1940, Italy declared war on France, and ''Algérie'' departed Toulon to bombard Genoa and participate in convoy escort duties before the armistice was signed on the 22nd of June, 1940. ''Algérie'' remained under Vichy control, together with the bulk of the French fleet, and training missions aside, sailed only once, to escort ''Provence'' back to Metropolitan France in November of 1940.


With Operation Torch and the invasion of the French colonies in North Africa by Allied forces, the decision to militarize Vichy Metropolitan France was made by Germany, and an attempt was made under Operation Lila to seize the fleet at anchor in Toulon. Having correctly anticipated German intentions, the French command had the fleet prepared  for scuttling. Admiral Jean de Laborde received and promptly transmitted the orders to the entire fleet on the 27th of November, 1942, upon which the French crews destroyed their ships. ''Algérie'' was no exception, and was so thoroughly damaged that she burned for several weeks after sinking. ''Algérie'' was re-floated in 1943 for breaking up, having been irreparably damaged during the scuttling and subsequent fire.

===In-game historical inaccuracies===
''Algerie'''s stock hull is a mash-up of two refits. Her current appearance resembles her August 1942 refit when the tripod mainmast behind turret "X" was replaced by a tiered deckhouse, designated ''pergola''. The placement of the AA guns is correct. However, she had eight twin 37mm/50 Mle 1933 guns. Four are missing and they were mounted on the quarterdeck.


The anti-aircraft guns on Hull (A) is based on her July 1941 refit, when she still had the tripod mainmast. However, the placement of the AA guns is wrong. The four twin 37mm guns were on the quarterdeck. Two quad 13.2mm Hotchkiss MGs were at the forward end of the shelter deck and two more were on the AA platform above the bridge. One single mount 13.2mm MG was on the Director Control Tower (DCT), one on the quarterdeck and two on the shelter deck aft.

* ''Algerie'' was allied to Vichy France when she was scuttled at Toulon. She was never painted with Measure 22 camouflage, which was applied to French warships that were refitted in the United States after they sided with the Allies.

* The AA gun configuration on Hull (B) is a fabrication by Wargaming. The 25mm Hotchkiss was only mounted on destroyers, and the 37mm/70 ACAD Mle 1936 had numerous development problems, resulting in delays which led to its cancellation in 1940. Only one was mounted on the patrol sloop ''Amiens''.
* Neutrality stripes on turrets "B" and "X" are missing. They were applied after France surrendered and the ship came under Vichy control.

Algérie — France Tech Tree Tier VII Cruiser.

After the construction of two series of Duquesne- and Suffren-class cruisers, built under the restrictions of the Washington Naval Treaty, the task given to designers was to develop a ship with enhanced armor that could withstand 155 mm shells at a distance of up to 15 km (horizontal) and 20 km (vertical). The cruiser differed from her predecessors by her shorter and wider flush-deck hull, and her propulsion was implemented according to a linear scheme. At the beginning of World War II, Algérie participated in patrol and escort missions, including escorting ships with gold.
