French Destroyers exit early access, and now there’s a new system for you to manage and upgrade […] Tier 9: a lot of competitive ships here, but the best ships are pretty obvious in my opinion, and it really comes down to 3 ships: Kitakaze, Alaska and Georgia. All of the French BBs seem to have wonky dispersion and shell hits are unpredictable. So for Alsace, IFHE is a no-brainer in a brawler build (and there are several viable builds for Alsace, but given my playstyle and the strengths of the ship, I strongly prefer a brawler build. I'm honestly expecting a nerf to her; Alsace makes me look like a much better BB player than I am. The majority of outgoing fire is your 100mm secondaries. I've just started on Richelieu. The speed, agility, and ability to flank and catch the enemy team in a cross fire cannot be understated. Still has a high skill floor but I clicked with her very well and she's as much fun as Alsace.). Angling baits opponents to fire at your belt and your belt will shrug off most shots; bow-on means opponents will try and snipe your turrets.
