...yet Looking at 895m/s initial shell velocity and wheelbarrow pinch of Bussian Rias her guns might hit just as hard as other "proper" battleships
-
Haku gain very little from upgrading planes, so if you find her meh already, she's not going to blast you into chair when upgraded.

Mid tier 139mm (tier 6 and 7, including Aigle) have pretty slow shell velocity, which makes 10km+ gunnery... interesting against more agile targets, so Russian counterparts are straight up better in terms of hitting stuff. In return, FR have bit more potent HE, both in terms of damage and fire chance. AP performance is similar to RU 130mm. High tier Croissant DDs, that is Le Fantasque (and her premium sister) as well higher up have long barreled, high velocity 139mm which solve issue of mediocre ballistics. I do not own them, as I haven't found Le Fantasque in French Containers nor I'm interested in purchasing Le Terrible, but based on 3rd party site https://wowsft.com, they should have better ballistics than Russian 130mm/50 B-13 (tier 6 to stock 9) and comparable to 130mm/55, found on upgraded tier 9 and Khabarovsk. All that while packing substantial AP penetration advantage, actually enough to threaten broadside cruisers with citadel hits at medium range. Base range is also pretty good, around 13km, so AFT is "optional" instead "mandatory" Add to that not-as-bad concealment and potent torpedoes and you end up with a hybrid/multipurpose ship that can go FAST than all out gunboat. Still, neither FR or RU destroyers are good pick for cap contests due to lack of camouflage. They are excellent assist for those who cap though.

Dunno, but you can always write ticket to WG support as possible in game bug, as rest of the T6+ silver FR destroyers have 180s duration.
-
Seagull when he was in game did his seagull things on Missouri deck tho. As game mechanic, maybe, its even on Aegis with Shchors captain. As visible raft/personnel in water - no.
-
Game deliberately doesn't have any personnel to avoid any dramas and reclassification to 18+ or somesuch.
-
They do lack "get out of jail" card like Smoke or Heal compared to other destroyers, so they might prove challenging to play though.
-
Or you can grind yourself Guepard, FR tier 6 DD (once they are released) to get an idea how Aigle would handle, as they are sisters IIRC. Main differences would be Main Battery Reload Booster, more consistent gun firing arcs and much faster torps for Guepard while Ayyygle have Smoke, faster gun reload and harder hitting torps. If you get to like baguette destroyers, you can proceed with line further and get Aigle as midtier premium + captain trainer for FR DDs

And gave Taiho's cat to SoDak -
But still care about getting hit. And bow on still presents smaller target than broadside
-
Cossack have two more guns, but 4th turret have questionable firing arcs and there is not insignificant time to impact difference outside of knife fighting despite spreadsheet saying otherwise Also note angle needed for all gun salvo. Lightning can also zig zag and don't wait for rear turret to go around due to 360 noscope hax.

Camo on the california looks wrong, pls fix

KGV class at least have lol HE and faster reload/American Piercing+Hydro, depending on the ship. Cali... will need plenty of buffs and unless WG will overinflate speed it will remain an unfun boat. -

Then there is question if artist of original art is willing to draw more skins (Cygnet anyone), which is main limiting factor as I'm sure Yostar/Manjuu/whatever will be more than happy to sell you all the skins. Taiho, calm your tits -

Only word as skins are released, other than that ye olde wiki as list of ships/skins with this feature https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/Category:Live2D -
I don't CB, but wouldn't Lightning prove as good, if not better than Cossack? Same concealment, better gun ballistics, much better firing arcs, all turrets are 360, 2nd quad fish launcher at expense of range and reload and better gun dpm unless Cossack can bring 4th turret to bear, which requires substantial amount of broadside. From gimmicks lacks Engine Boost tho.

Guessing you deal with them the same way you deal with Kremlin - you don't. They deal with you
-
But... but... its historically accurate
-
You see Ivan, there will be no statistical evidence of our glorious battleboats being overpowered when everyone plays only them

You will need a LOT of plot armor to make basically uptiered New Mexico viable. -

Still, for small caliber battleboat you're better off with Lyon or KGV class. Or even Scharnhorst simply by virtue of not being late to the battle. -

Its up to you. Tier 9 premiums do print quite a lot of credits, they also can freely participate in high tier events and missions. Even "tier 5 and above" missions requiring getting specified amount of exp would be easier due to +100% exp gain from camouflage. Okt.Rev is okay ship, but as tier 5 isn't going to net you many credits and can't participate in PvE Operations, as there are none for tier 5. Aigle is feisty gunboat with surprisingly workable torps, obscene amount of hp and is actually viable pick for tier 6 Operations (Raptor Rescue, Aegis, Newport Defense and Killer Whale), so if gun oriented destroyers tick your fancy, I see nothing wrong with getting her. Turret firing arcs, traverse speed and shell velocity leave something to be desired though For premium ships purchasable with cold hard cash, I'd advise AGAINST tier 8, due to brutal matchmaking. So either tier 9 or tier 6-7, with latter having PvE Operations option when Randoms piss you off hard enough. Cheaper alternative to (hightier) premium ships is premium paint on tier 10 of choice, turning one from money sink into reliable money maker due to substantial economy gains.

Considering depth charge launchers had at best 50-100m range IF you had them, otherwise you would simply roll charges off the ramp at the stern, so you would have to be directly over enemy sub, which may or may not expose you to enemy gunfire. That and then there is question of charges fuse - do you set it manually, so you have to look down at "detected" sub and set timer/depth correctly or they would be proximity/contact fused?
