Jean Bart compensates for this with having an accelerated reload of 26s. 'Unable to overmatch the bows of German and American heavy cruisers, their performance is often found wanting. Totally best firepower in tier 9 /s not like the dispersion circle is going to make it a terrible sniper wasting its good shell qualities and forcing you into the mid-range meaning this ship is going to get outperform by Iowas/ HE spamming Lions ' large dispersion area, high shell velocity and energy retention, good penetration and middling damage. for one 380 mm does not have the overmatch power needed for tier 8+, it doesn't have the alpha to compete with its cousins, at most its strength will be in Dpm and pen and that will be wasted if it has to deal with a bow tanking BB, for sake a Lion can bounce these shots I'm going to be blunt, that statement is Eight 380mm/45 guns are not going to cut it at tier 9, even with the reload boaster the guns not strong enough to compete with USN 406 mm, RN 419 mm, and IJN 410/460 mm. 'Jean Bart has some of the BEST firepower at her tier.' Stop confusing all BB's for RN BB's, seriously this statement can apply to any of the non-RN BB's even if AP is better most of the time, also why are you recommending AA mod II when the accuracy mod is a much better choice in all scenarios? 'Few battleships reward careful target selection and ammunition choice like Jean Bart'

I strongly disagree, a BB with all its guns on their front is not 'easy' nor is it 'forgiving' as as i said before you severely hamper your defensive abilities espcially when kiting 'Jean Bart is an easy battleship to play and quite forgiving.' If this was two years ago I would agree, however, this is a rather situational pro considering that CV's are rare as unicorns and most BB's have had their AA push to retarded levels (i miss the days when it was basically 'avoid USN AA and you should be fine) 'Excellent anti-aircraft firepower - some of the best found on battleships in the game.' Please tell me how this is a pro when you are literally gimping your ability to kite since when BB's turn they bleed a lot of speed? this should be a neutral

'Entire battery is bow-mounted, making it easy to maximize her firepower on the attack.'

Well written review as always LWM but with all due respect I have some criticisms to post that kind of irked me so I apologize in advance for my bluntness
