Kléber CLR — French special premium Tier X destroyer.

Developed in the early days of World War II, this large destroyer design constituted a further development of the Mogador class. The main distinctive features of these new ships were the different combination of artillery guns and more powerful AA defenses.

Kléber CLR was first released for sale on 16 June 2023.

Kléber CLR, or Kléber Color, is a clone of Kléber with an attractive yellow skin.

Kléber proudly serves at Tier X, representing France.

Just like the predecessor and half sister Mogador, is a very powerful gunboat destroyer. Possessing the biggest guns to be put on a destroyer at Tier X (until Elbing came along), with ballistics comparable to most light cruiser guns, she is more than capable of punching well above her weight. However, that is not her only strength. She also is one of the most if not the most agile ships in the game, although her turning is not great for a destroyer, she has a very unique ability that few other ships possess: the ability to rapidly accelerate and decelerate with her French Engine Boost, on top of the unrivaled speed. Captains who can use this ability properly will find that enemies have trouble hitting Kléber beyond close range, effectively allowing you to win a long term fight if they do not disengage, since it is foolish to follow a Kléber due to the speed advantage and her very fast, hard-hitting torpedoes with a quick reload time of just 77 seconds without modifiers.

However, the fun factor behind ""Kleber"" is, just like ""Mogador"" before her, the improved AP penetration found on her main guns. Because of the high AP penetration on them, the best out of all the Tier 10 destroyers, she is capable of citadelling enemy cruisers with ease. Ships such as ""Minotaur"", ""Smolensk"" and ""Colbert"", which would normally shred other destroyers, melt under the AP firepower of a Kléber with reload booster activated. And if ""Kleber"" gets close enough, she can citadel almost all of the cruisers in her matchmaking spread.

On first glance, Kléber may appear to be a good ship for rushing caps early on due to her speed. However, she has very poor concealment for a destroyer, only ones worse are the Russian Destroyer Leaders (""Khabarovsk"" line). The ship is not meant to cap contest, rather it is best as a second-line destroyer to provide gunboat support and be a distraction to the enemies, as well as creating ambushes behind islands. Not having smoke means you are unable to hide yourself at will, leaving you vulnerable in a cap if you are out-spotted. One way to play her is to play her like a light cruiser, attacking ships and distract them. It is best to draw fire to yourself, which will usually miss due to your agility. If there is an aircraft carrier in the battle, play closer to your team so the enemy carrier has a harder time attacking you without losing planes.

Pros:

  • Among the fastest ships in the game with 55.2 kts top speed with Engine BoostWhile active, increases a ship's speed by a fixed percentage. and Sierra Mike (+5% to the ship's maximum speed.).
  • Powerful main armament of 4x2 139mm guns with excellent ballistics.
  • Main Battery Reload BoosterWhen used, main battery reload time is significantly reduced..
  • Very good gun angles.
  • Potent AP.
  • Torpedoes are very fast, with good damage.
  • Okay continuous AA damage, though no flak.

Cons:

  • No Smoke GeneratorWhile active, generates a smoke screen that blocks line-of-sight for both enemies and teammates..
  • Un-boosted main battery reload is subpar.
  • Poor turret traverse for a destroyer.
  • Torpedoes have a mediocre 8km range.
  • Turning circle is somewhat poor.
  • Poor surface detection.
  • Very poor AA range, not even matching her air detectability.
  • No flak clouds produced from her AA guns
