The lead ship in a series of large destroyers (''contre-torpilleurs''), a typical type of ship in the French Navy, designed specifically to hunt down enemy destroyers. The ship was large in size and had a high speed. She was on par with contemporary destroyers by the strength of her torpedo armament yet considerably outclassed them in terms of artillery power owing to her five 139mm guns.<br /><br />Aigle first could be earned by completing combat missions February 9th and March 26th, 2018. Went on sale the week of July 8th, 2018, then for Coal in the Armory on June 27th, 2018, and for doubloons April 4th, 2019.

|Performance=<!-- write text about performance in battles below -->
===Pros===
Tier VI French premium destroyer ''Aigle'' is a flexible ship, capable of filling different roles as needed. As the first French destroyer in World of Warships, she sets the bar decently high with her performance. For her tier, she possesses the largest hit point pool among her peers and sports an armament that makes her a genuine threat to all classes.
* Pro 1
* Pro 2


There are three primary play styles which suit ''Aigle'' well. The first is to use her as a long-range gunboat. With decent range and maneuverability, ''Aigle'' will prove to be a difficult target to hit. To excel in this role, captains will want to invest in a captain sporting the [[Ship:Commander#Advanced Firing Training|Advanced Firing Training]] skill and fully utilize defensive maneuvering tactics, such as altering speed and direction.  However, captains may be disappointed with the number of shells it takes to do a considerable amount of damage, given ''Aigle''’s high shell arcs and poor gun firing angles.  Additionally, her stock concealment range will make it hard to sneak up on enemy ships to use her torpedoes should it become necessary.
===Cons===
* Con 1
* Con 2


The second option is arguably the most effective in general: a hybrid between concealment and gunnery. This build makes use of everything ''Aigle'' has to offer at the cost of firing range. ''Aigle'' can sneak around the map and choose her engagements. Her speed will allow her to effectively hunt down any ship at her tier, especially when combined with the [[Ship:Commander#Radio Position Finding|Radio Position Finding]] skill. ''Aigle'' will prove to be a menace to the red team, provided her captain keeps a keen eye on the mini-map in order not to get too close to the enemy; ''Aigle''’s speed can get her into trouble quickly.


The third build is a full-concealment build. In this setup, captains will enjoy a small stealth firing window with torpedoes that hit very hard. Again, her speed can be a blessing or a curse, because she will close range with the enemy much faster than other ships. However, with this build, she excels at contesting capture points in Domination games, or sneaking to the enemy base in Standard Battles. At the start of a battle, ''Aigle'' can reach capture points first and has the firepower to bully other destroyers. If the enemy focuses her, she can use smoke and speed to retreat and find a better position.  Captains should be cautious of over-extending in matches with aircraft carriers, because ''Aigle''’s anti-aircraft armament is very underwhelming.

Overall, ''Aigle'' is a fun destroyer to play. She poses a threat to all destroyers at her tier, though she truly excels at medium range. The key to her success is avoiding close-range engagements with other ships and utilizing her speed and maneuverability to dodge incoming gunfire at longer ranges.

===History===
<gallery>
[[File:Aigle_launch.png|none|thumb|x350px|link=|''Aigle'' following her launch in Dunkirk, February 1931.]]
===Design===
The ''Aigle''-class of French destroyers were a set of four (sometimes considered six, though the final two were technically of the ''Vauquelin''-class) destroyers developed in 1927 by the ''Marine Nationale'', with all four (and the two ''Vauquelin''’s) being laid down throughout 1929 and 1930, launched in between 1930-31, and commissioned from 1931-33.
 
The ''Aigle''-class were essentially the same as the previous ''Guepard''-class, but adopted some minor modifications that were found on the succeeding class of the ''Vauquelin''’s. These modifications included a slightly different hull form, higher pressure boilers that led to an increased top speed, and most importantly, an improved main armament (the 138.6/40 Mle. 1927 gun).
 
Compared to the previous ''Guepard''-class, the ''Aigle’s'' featured some minor weight-savings in the form of welded non-critical sections and structures, mainly in the superstructure. Other improvements were found in the ships machinery; primarily the boilers. Even within the ''Aigle''-class the machinery differed. The first three of the class (''Aigle'', ''Vautour'', and ''Albatros'') employed the use of Parsons turbines, while the remaining ''Gerfaut'' used turbines made by Rateau-Bretagne. During trials, most of the class achieved a speed of ~37 knots, but ''Gerfaut'' distinguished herself by achieving a speed of over 40 knots.
 
The second improvement of the ''Aigle''-class over previous French destroyers was the new 138.6mm/40 Mle. 1927 gun. The main difference between this gun and the previous (Mle. 1923) version was the use of a sliding-breech, similar to those of similarly sized German guns, that effectively doubled their rate of fire.
 
Torpedo armament of the class consisted of two triple 550mm torpedoes mounted along the ships’ centerline.  Anti-aircraft armament — like most ships of the late twenties — was extremely sparse, consisting of a single 75mm high-angle gun and four single 37mm guns. The class also mounted depth-charge racks and throwers for anti-submarine warfare.
 
The ships underwent a few upgrades during their careers, mainly to their anti-aircraft armament, with a few minor modifications made to their main armament, communications and ASW facilities.
 
===Service===
Laid down as the lead ship of the ''Aigle''-class ''contre-torpilleurs'' on 8 October 1928, ''Aigle'' was launched on 19 February 1931 and commissioned into the ''Marine Nationale'' on 10 October 1932, the 12th ''contre-torpilleur'' to join the ''Marine Nationale''. ''Aigle'' joined her predecessors ''Vauban'' and ''Lion'' of the preceding ''Guépard''-class in the 1st Division, based in the Mediterranean. She had little service beyond regular training sorties during the 1930’s, and her first real action came in June 1940 when Italy entered the war, and the ''Marine Nationale'' sortied ''en masse'' against the ''[[Ship:Ships of Italy|Regia Marina]]''.
 
However, naval action quickly ceased following the French Armistice on 22 June 1940, where ''Aigle'' and all her sister-ships returned to the Mediterranean, now flying the Vichy French flag. ''Aigle'' remained trapped in Toulon until 27 November 1942, when she was scuttled with the rest of the Vichy French Fleet stationed at Toulon to prevent capture by the Germans.  She was later refloated by the Italians on 10 July 1943, but was never restored to operational capacity.  She sank a second time on 24 November 1943, during an Allied air raid on Toulon. She was salvaged a second time shortly after the war's end, and was subsequently scrapped.

VI
4,500 doubloons

Aigle — France Premium Tier VI Destroyer.

The second series of "four-stack" ships differed little from their predecessors—ships of the Guépard class. The last two destroyers had engines with increased steam parameters. During World War II, Aigle participated in the transportation of gold to the U.S., escorted troop ships from North Africa, and took part in the raid on Genoa.
