9 - 13,39" / 340 mm guns (2 mounts), 1.322,77lbs / 600,00kg shells, 1916 Model
     Breech loading guns in turrets (on barbettes)
     on centreline ends, evenly spread, 3 raised guns

I was hoping to see four and a half guns per turret, myself.

Glitches aside - the type might have some appeal as a "colonial" battleship.  It's a tough cookie for most dreadnoughts to handle, and might be able to hold out until help arrives from the Glorious French homeland.

Sorry Korpen, she doesn't do what I expect from her.

I'm not as keen on the Korpen design as the latest Maddox design - but I agree that bunkerage is pretty high.

Nice. That could be a battlecrusier for you. (You know you need them)  ;). Seriously, that could cream everything you have besides a Decreme, a Occitanie, or the Masque.

[maddox]

I don't see the reasoning to build a smaller BC than the much faster Montmedie.

[TexanCowboy]

Montmedie?

[maddox]

Montmedie or Montmedy

is being build...

Dear god, you have hoards of huge ships. Pretty soon you'll have to start building escort battleships the size of the first Drednought.

[maddox]

Actualy, France  officialy has 2 HUGE ships.  Superbe and DeCreme

And as of HY 01 1917 3 in build.  Masque, Montmedie and her half sister.

Superbe ain't no longer abnormal in size, about all BB building countries are building or have 30Kton ships in service.

On the other end of the spectrum France has the 2 obsolete Magenta and Marceau

[TexanCowboy]

Why does France keep Occitanie a secret?
