Normandie line is better.

Normandie hits hard enough to kill any bb5 in 2 to 3 shots and is fast and small.

Lyon is hits harder but is really really reaaaaaaallllly slow. Even with high lvl engineers
its a slow ship. The lorraine is like a small version of the bismark, has good range for a
bb2.5. Loraine and Paris are prety much well balanced against eachother.

Go with the Paris, as it has a superior aa battery. Use the same guns as the Lorraine, but
with 2 binds of ammo instead of 4. The 2 empty gun slots mean that the speed will be similar.

I have both lines and personally enjoy the Bretagne route much more. The
Normandie is the largest reason I love the line. Its tiny, reasonably fast, hard hitting
and accurate enough even with at level gunners (12 shells compensates).

Got the Lorraine, its a great BB2.5. Strikes me like a small pre-gun/line balancing
Penn45 with the dual 16's.

Well, go the better line, obviously.

I have 2 BOs for french, and it seems all through after pluton in my opinion that the
top line is easier to play, as well as level. I think tourville is better than algerie.. I like
the bretange over the courbet too, sorry if i mispell I butcher a lot of the MN names.

Currently i have a bretange and courbet in harbor.

Yes, I was careful choosing which line when I read his remark. Unfortunately I still
got it wrong...

so my suspisious comfirms.... when rehor said "choose the right line" he was reffering to
the Lorraine line

paris line has more firepower
lorraine line has more range

i am run in paris but looks like lorraine is better due more more range

Just had a rather funny game.

Charged a gaggle of 3 enemy BBs in my Normandie, and despite them all throwing
at least 20 salvos combined at me, I suffered no more than 5k damage.

It wasn't that they were bad shots either, just that all their shells kept landing
around me instead of on me.
