FR gunboat DDs (Kleber Line)
Standard build

- High speed open-water gunboats with great maneuverability, MBRB to provide temporary increase in firepower, and a unique French saturation mechanic that reduces damage further if a ship section is already damaged. No smoke makes disengaging from fights difficult.
- Kleber uses an open water gunboat build
- You can swap BFT+CS for AFT if you want to put more emphasis on long-range farming.
- Honore is a decent captain because of his improved AR skill. Auboyneau is also good because of his improved SE skill and the capture talent.
- If you don’t have the Engine boost mod, use ERP
- For Kleber (or any French DD you will play regularly), just buy the engine boost mod. It’s a significant improvement
- Applies to Enseigne Gabolde, Fusilier, Bourrasque, Jaguar, Siroco, Guépard, Aigle, Vauquelin, Le Fantasque, Le Terrible, Mogador, Kléber
