Brennus — France Special Tier X Cruiser.

This super-heavy cruiser is a hypothetical development of the C5 and Saint Louis designs. The principal difference from the prototypes is the 305 mm guns for the main battery, as well as enhanced torpedo armament.

Pros

• High firing accuracy of the main battery: Large main battery shell caliber with high damage
• Long firing range
• High top speed

Cons

• Low damage per minute
• High detectability
• Long fire extingushing time, takes heavy damage from flooding
