![]() Added to the Reload Booster and her excellent ballistics, and Jean Bart can be downright brutal to enemy ships caught making a positioning mistake. Even though they are only 380mm guns - and thus unable to overmatch a number of high tier cruisers - the penetration of her shells are more than enough to punish broadside ships. In addition, she retains the high velocity shells found in other high-tier French battleships. They have a 26 second reload, generally better shell groupings, and access to a special Main Battery Reload Booster consumable which halves main battery reload time for twenty seconds. All of her secondaries are also capped to a 10.6 km range, unlike Alsace and République.Īspects of Jean Bart’s hull aren't the ship's major draw, though that honor instead goes to her main battery guns, which provide a massive increase in offensive firepower when compared to those of Richelieu. The mounts themselves are relatively weak and are regularly knocked out the course of a battle, and while there are quite a number of them, they are largely composed of small, 100mm guns - a caliber unable to penetrate the vast majority of targets at Tier IX. Additionally, while Jean Bart’s secondary battery looks good on paper, in practice it's somewhat unwieldy. Jean Bart can find herself somewhat vulnerable in certain situations, as heavy cruisers and light cruisers using the Inertia Fuse for HE Shells skill can easily deal full damage to almost any part of the ship. ![]() While her base health pool is an improvement over Richelieu’s best hull, it still falls somewhat short when compared to her other Tier IX counterparts, which can lead to some issues when compounded with the relative thinness of her armor. Jean Bart sits on the low end of health points for Tier IX battleships. Sitting a tier higher than her sister ship, it would be unusual if Jean Bart weren't stronger in some form or another in Jean Bart’s case, this means a general, all-around upgrade with a few unusual quirks to set her out from the crowd. Jean Bart is generally viewed as better Richelieu, and for the most part, this is true.

The company plans to install equipment to minimize hull deformation during assembly work to build high-quality naval vessels with maximum operating performance. The multi-purpose assembly plant will expand its production capacity of warships and improve safety through an automated process, Hanwha said. That is predicted to result in quality improvement as the reduction of production processing time will allow time for test sailing, it added. The plant is expected to shorten the manufacturing process as it will be equipped with two 300-ton-cranes, the largest indoor derrick in the country, which will enable the shipbuilder to use large-scale blocks, the company said. The facility will reduce the influence on warship production of inclement weather such as storms, while minimizing contamination or loss of vessel equipment from the air or other pollutants, according to Hanwha. ![]() The indoor plant is expected to improve the quality of naval vessels and help deliver them on time, Hanwha said. on the government project, called the FFX Batch-III, to build two 3,500-ton frigates for the Navy. The consideration came as the South Korean shipbuilder is competing with its larger rival HD Hyundai Heavy Industries Co. “The indoor factory is expected to allow enough time to reflect the improvement and supplementation requests from the Navy while preventing the production of ships for export from interfering with works for South Korea,” said a Hanwha official. The South Korean shipbuilder is expected to spend more than 100 billion won on the facilities, industry sources said. The company, formerly Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering Co., said on Thursday it is mulling the construction of an indoor factory to produce two warships at the same time and a multi-purpose assembly plant dedicated to naval vessels. Hanwha Ocean Co., the world’s fourth-largest shipbuilder, is considering large investments in new facilities to manufacture warships as the company aims to win an 830 billion won ($638 million) project to build two next-generation frigates for South Korea.
