World of Warships - First Look: Tier VIII French Cruiser Cherbourg
144Here's our First Look at Tier VIII French cruiser Cherbourg. Branching off of either Algerie or Charles Martel, Cherbourg introduces the beefy super-cruiser concept to the tech trees of World of Warships (previously having been confined to premium releases). She is similar in some respects to her Premium cousin Toulon, but is notably different in others, particularly the main battery. Let's peel away the layers and see what she has to offer.
