Players should actively seek opportunities to gain the flank of potential targets and use the superior speed of Richelieu to displace if subject to too much attention, taking advantage of the turret's wide rotation angle to kite away while still using 100% of the Richelieu’s firepower. With proper map awareness, Richelieu can remain a threat in nearly any battle.

Even in Tier IX or X battles the basic fundamentals of the ship do not change, but simply require greater caution. Richelieu is one of the fastest battleships in the game, has good relative immunity to catastrophic damage due to her armor scheme and ability to angle well, and her anti-aircraft armament allows for greater independent operation than many of her same-tier counterparts.Ĭaptains will find Richelieu to be an excellent flanking ship even when there exists little support. Tier VIII's Richelieu possesses more than a passing similarity to Tier VI premium Dunkerque, but provides greater flexibility.
