Here's our First Look at Tier VI Premium French aircraft carrier Béarn. While the forthcoming glorious era of Soviet naval aviation is largely a work of fiction, the naval aviators of the Marine Nationale were very, very real. Commissioned in late 1927, Béarn was a contemporary of the likes of Ranger and Ryujo, which makes her addition at Tier VI very appropos. She also introduces some new twists and turns in the carrier design space that I wish we'd see more of from Wargaming. Let's dive in and I'll explain further.
