Richie is unique in terms of her primary armaments. All in all, she needs some improvements here to get out of her situation. Her saving grace in this category comes in the form of her French Turtleback armor scheme, which mitigates some damage for mere penetrations, but will not mitigate or all but prevent all potential citadel damage, unlike the German turtleback armor. The level of HP on these mounts is so poor that one clean shot from a Thunderer with HE will strip her of most of these mounts, and leave her defenseless to both airstrikes and DD attacks. Another major issue is the typical fragility of French armament mounts in general( and one of the reasons we tend to laugh at secondary-spec French BBs ). At just 63,700 on her top hull, the only ship worse here is the Monarch, and even she has a boosted repair party that recovers 75% of Penetration damage, while Richelieu has nothing to boast of here. Richie’s HP pool is also quite miserable. Remember your grading scales here, my friends, because the numbers here will indeed surprise you.Īs it would imply, Richelieu, like her mates and British counterparts, suffers from an extreme allergy to anything that can muster more than 32mm of HE penetration (and rain shells like it’s the Fourth of July). Is it good? Absolutely with a Dev Strike as a cherry. Named for the infamous Cardinal himself, Richy has a strong reputation behind it, for it’s terrifying guns and blistering speed, as well as a poorer one for it’s infamous vulnerability to any cruiser with IFHE, not to mention some other things. However, those people don’t always look to the fact that those same battleships are just as dangerous as any others. Some people think that French Battleships have issues, and you wouldn’t be wrong.
