In addition to her somewhat weak armor, she also has very poor firing angles for all her turrets she must expose a tremendous amount of her broadside armor just to able to fire the rearmost turret. Her armor scheme is similar to British counterpart Queen Elizabeth: a thickly armored exterior with a somewhat poorly armored citadel, making long range engagements potentially disastrous, especially when facing off against large caliber guns (380mm and up) such as those of the aforementioned Queen Elizabeth or even Tier VII American battleship Colorado. However, she is not without her own demerits.Īlthough Normandie is very fast and has firepower on par with her Tier VI counterparts, she also poorly armored. She can easily chase down any retreating battleship and or cruiser ruthlessly, and give torpedo-based destroyers a hard run for their money. She is arguably a better version of her premium counterpart Dunkerque, owing to her smaller profile, an extra main battery turret, better firing range, and better dispersion.
