First game with it, really really good, at 4.7 you can one shot early destroyers and the resistance of the ship is alright, the air defence is also very decent.

 

Agreed, it's quite tanky. Though I haven't managed to one shot another ship yet... You mostly HE or you use SAP as well ?

SAP against destroyers and cruisers, i only use HE against the smaller vessels.

How does she behave when facing younger destroyers like USS Moffets ?

It can take quite a bit of punishment before going down, and the weapons can tear apart those ships.

Firepower, though not excellent, seems decent enough for the BR(you need to shoot half salvos to be really effective). Quite tanky as well due to the large unarmored hull soaking up damage, and the well protected ammo racks.

They need to fix the 1-spawn of the ship, it should have 3 spawns, but other than that, it's my first time playing naval so I haven't made up my mind too much about this ship yet. 

 

Oh if it's your first time playing naval, don't forget to ask lots of questions when you run into issues. We're all here to help, as learning naval can be a frustrating experience due to how un-helpful the in-game tutorials and tips are.

So, I don't know if it has happened to you but my game keeps crashing to desktop a few minutes into a naval game. Dunno if it has to do with some visual effect being problematic, but it's strange, because it only happens with the Duguay Trouin or the Aigle, not with any of the other ships from other nations I played.

 I had similar crashes with some italian ships, probably there is some issue that will be fixed in the near future hotfixes.

About the Duguay-Trouin, I like it, it's like a Colleoni with ready rack and the correct br.

Use the ranging shot keys and the "turret ranging shot" control toggle.

It seems to be fixed now.

Anybody know why the Duguay-Trouin's HE-BF shells have a longer fuze delay than the SAP shells? It doesn't make sense.

I wrote the wiki article about these guns, so I was digging through some sources, both: online and in books, as my first instinct was that it must be a bug, so I looked to source a proper values and... I couldn't find any details regarding these fuses. It's completely different to, say, US and Japanese fuses that are extremely well described, for French (and Italians) I struggle to source anything. It's actually a great material to write a book about, if any naval historian happen to read this post - just give us a detailed English-language book about the naval guns of Italy and France.

 

It doesn't even seem to follow any internal convention, as the German base fuse rounds got the same fuse time as the AP (which again... seems odd, as it effectively means that they might fuse after a tiny bit longer distance (fuse time + length of the shell)?)

 

But on the upside - these shells having a longer fuse delay means that they travel further than SAP, what can be useful under some specific circumstances.

The Italian RN B. Colleoni Italian is at BR 5.0 is slightly lower than at Duguay-Trouin.

Duguay-Trouin. must be raised to BR 5.0. It is too strong at BR 4.7.

Duguay-Trouin. has to greenhouse to BR 5.0. And too strong at BR 4.7.

 

The Duguay Trounin is quite frail for 5.0, 4.7 is a good br for that ship, even if the armor is similar to the Colleoni I feel the Duguay Trounin as a more "squishy" ship. About the Colleoni the best course of action is to lower the br to 4.7 and add the Cadorna class at 5.0 as a bridge between the Colleoni and Montecuccoli.
