A relatively well-protected citadel generally keeps her safe from receiving massive hits from enemy battleships, but captains should be aware that it isn't nearly as well protected as that of the German battleships, so taking citadel penetrations when full broadside is absolutely possible. The larger shell size allows for the penetration of the secondaries to cross the infamous 19mm armor threshold, making her secondary suite quite a bit more useful than that of her sister, though it is still ill-advised to go for a secondary build like on all French battleships due to the inaccuracy of the secondaries and the poor HE protection of French Battleships.Īs far as protection goes, she has the same armor scheme found on that of all other high-tier French battleships. As far as secondaries are concerned, she differs slightly from Alsace in that she has the same 8x2 127mm setup found on République, instead of the 12x2 100mm guns on Alsace.


If needed, her rate of fire also allows for use of high-explosive ammunition. That being said, her combination of amazing rate of fire, strong HE and AP and the presence of the Main Battery Reload Booster consumable will easily allow captains to severely punish any enemy vessel that fails to angle properly against her. Captains familiar with the overmatch mechanics will realize that this makes Bourgogne the only Tier X battleship to be unable to overmatch the bow and stern armor of the high-tier American and German cruisers. Sharing the same set of twelve 380 mm guns found on Alsace, Bourgogne has some of the smallest guns found on a Tier X battleship. Captains familiar with the play style of Alsace will have absolutely no problem adapting to Bourgogne.
