Ship:Bourrasque

IV

725,000

Bourrasque — France Tech Tree Tier IV Destroyer.

The destroyer project that was proposed after the end of World War I was not sufficiently armed compared to the British and Italian ships. The new destroyers received 130 mm guns, and the standard displacement was increased to 1,455 tons. With the outbreak of World War II, the lead ship of the Bourrasque class participated in search and convoy operations. Bourrasque was destroyed on May 30, 1940, during the evacuation of troops from Dunkirk.

Pros

• High torpedo damage.
• High survivability (the ship takes less damage when hit).
• Enhanced Engine Boost consumable (increased bonus to the ship’s maximum speed, as well as the action time of the consumable).

Cons

• Smoke Generator consumable unavailable.
• High detectability
