Well, Hello.
First I wanna thanks Wargaming devs, ships designers and staff for their great job.
So, I am French, and obviously, I like French ships a lot, but I really can't understand the choice of giving T10 destroyer Marceau this AA setup.
We just got the release of the full french destroyer line, and I can only see that Marceau isn't following the rules, and I would like an explanation.
So, let's see :
- Mogador get a fictionnal refit, with 2 57mm/60 ACAD Modèle 1951, meaning that this ship, launched in 1939, would have received a refit in 1951+. I am okay with that, makes sense, the plateform was quite good.
- Kléber, get 4 57mm/60 ACAD Modèle 1951, meaning that this ship was launched in 1951+, so we can agree that this is the norm for both high tier French destroyer, and almost all high tier minus Saint-Louis and Alsace
Meanwhile, Marceau, gets the 127mm/54 modèle 1948, which was put in service after 1951 (in 1955 on Escorteur d'escadre Surcouf), doesn't get the 57mm/60 ACAD Modèle 1951, which would have been in service at that time.
So my question is : Why is Marceau equipped with 40mm/56 Bofors and 20mm Oerlikon MK20 when both those guns were worthless in 1955, and better options were available (57mm/60 ACAD Modèle 1951) ?
