Strasbourg is a fast battleship for her tier. As with many other ships, players will have to rely on allied AA batteries to fend off strikes. Enemy aircraft will have no problems striking through her weak AA batteries. Her close to medium AA DPS is low, at 126 DPS. Her anti-aircraft guns reach 6km and provide 2 flak puffs at long range (6km). It also has a longer cooldown than the one found on “Jean Bart” and “Bourgogne” (180 seconds vs 120). However, it only allows one extra salvo to be fired per charge. Strasbourg's allows her to punish enemy cruisers and battleships in quick succession with her fast shells. The addition of the Main Battery Reload Booster consumable allows captains to fire shells every 12.5 seconds for 20 seconds of the consumable being active. While her HE is not particularly special due to its low caliber, it is useful against angled targets and lighting fires for more damage. Her AP shells have good penetration for their caliber and good shell travel time, allowing for the ability to punish broadsides up to her maximum range of 22.9km (with spotter plane consumable). Strasbourg fires eight 330mm shells per salvo. Strasbourg relies on her speed to stay alive rather than her health and armor However, 26mm armor is enough to stop low-caliber high explosive shells from penetrating her armor (excluding the superstructure). In higher tier matches, battleships with guns greater than 356mm will overmatch her armor regardless of angle. While she possesses the turtleback armor of French battleships, players should be careful about exposing her broadside as her armor will not stop full penetrations when not sufficiently angled. She is covered in 26mm plating, from her bow, aft, deck, and midsection. Strasbourg has a mediocre health pool of 52,600, decent torpedo damage reduction for her tier (25%), alongside a weak overall armor scheme. The main difference between her and her sister, Dunkerque, is the addition of the Main Battery Reload Booster, a unique consumable for a Tier VII battleship. Strasbourg is a maneuverable French battleship outfitted with powerful forward facing 330mm guns. Strasbourg is to Dunkerque as Jean Bart is to Richelieu.
