Here's our First Look at Tier VIII Premium French battleship Flandre. Wargaming has yet to release a Tier VIII French battleship that tickles my fancy. I find Gascogne boring, Champagne too fickle, and Richelieu too soft for her armament. Flandre here, though, interests me. A ship with this many hit points and this much AA will always catch my eye. What else sets her apart from the other French BB options in the tier? Let's explore.
