Today, we’re focusing on a French Tier X battleship! Bourgogne is a French battleship project that embodies the further development of Richelieu, and was designed in response to the German H-class battleships.
World War II prevented the construction of a series of four ships of her class—Alsace, Normandie, Flandre, and Bourgogne. In World of Warships, the battleship is presented in her modernized version, with secondary battery and AA armament from the late 1940s and early 1950s. The ship can boast of being fast and having a good firing range.

Keep an eye out on the official World of Warships website. Your first port of call for new ship releases!

Im early this time
No you not mate
No? There was only 3 comment last night when i commented this how am i not early
What’s with the hiding at the end?
In wows at a side of the Bourgogne with her historic camo there is a red car behind the secondary turrets.
Art deppt. deserves a raise
where
@Joshua Gabriel go in wows armory then select the ship bourgogne then select show in port.
You will see red car
Roma has a similar thing, under the search light platform between the funnels there should be a Fritz X guided bomb, the same type of bomb that sank her in RL
@david and martine albon ah thanks for info mate
Hats off to the modeling and design department. The balancing departments and other’s not so much.
WOWS: “We recreate ships accurately”
Ehm somebody remembers the Al Littorio? Or do we forget that it`s copy pasta`d Roma ingame, without even trying to hide the “Roma” nameplate :p
So what actual characteristic of littorio ?
@nia agustina Roma is a Vittorio class so they should be almost the same except for the fact that Roma was the only Italian bb with a radar that was pretty damn good. More in general Roma should have almost same range of Yamato, should have the best torpedo protection of the game since this class excelled at it. For the rest it is fairly well represented in Wow tanky moderately fast no AA and bad dispersion.
Salvo into full broadiside Kremlin for 9k – can relate…
Bourgogne has 380mm guns, shooting at a kremlin nearly 10km away. Kremlin has 410mm of citadel armor belt.
Her shells cant pen the citadel so the only damage is from the upper part of the hull.
@Justin Chen Kremlin Laughs in Russian Bias and replies with a salvo of 457mm guns , Bourgogne be like well gentlemen it appears that I am on fire -_- . Kremlin be like Oohoohoo cry some more 🙂 .
I mean, that salvo was very inaccurate, the shells fall everywhere on the deck.
@Drew Thatcher Then Bourgogne go kite and burn Kremlin down to the bottom of the ocean.
@Danhvn LOL I was just trying to make a team fortress 2 joke. Because in that context it was funny. Also actually comes down to the skill the of the players and well its kind of meme of how squishy french BBs are or can be when played incorrectly.
And well I Kind of think that what the ship personalities be like even though wows has their own ship characters. And excluding them as azure lane weeb stuff.
It also doesn’t help that I enjoyed this you tuber APC227 where he just does a lot of World Of Tanks and War Thunder Meme stuff with his model tank collection. And the fact that all his tank models are used a characters that are voiced over by pre recorded Team Fortress 2 character Dialogue. I know that was rant and a half But that’s just how I would a lot of the wows ships interacting as if they were characters.
lol so just role with the joke it doesn’t matter who wins just the comedic interaction between the 2 Battleships XD lol.
Bourgogne is fine in tier X
Always.
Correction.
We recreate warships accurately according to their blueprints. Then buff the ones from our home land.
@Z King It doesn’t matter because you don’t take any damage.
@Mr Traxel It doesn’t matter because all of your shots get citadels.
@David Blackman oh you do, try the stalingrad. Before I even REACH the cap I have half my health.
@Mr Traxel but Russian bias isn’t a thing long ago. Look at UK bias, German bias and Italian recently shows up.
Also they say that Bourgogne has top of the line anti-air. Yeah right as if that matters anymore.
It is. But having the best fly swatter in a room full of angry hornets doesn’t mean much.
What is anti-air in world of warships?
We recreate ships accurately, according to their historical blueprints.
And beyond our imaginations, we added Helipad
Tier 10 is basically all post-WW2 designs. Helicopters were around in the 50s
@David Blackman well except Monty, Yami, GK, Conq?, Vermont
And beyond our imaginations they made a “russian navy” in ww2.
The last time I was this early, Smolensk was not even released.
The good times.
@The Titan Onstersthe good old time when I can play my gk and not worry about he spamming
@Qiudao I can feel your pain buddy. At least the famine is a little less effective now
I know a lot of people scoff at the idea of using concept or blueprint ships in game, but there’s a quote from UK Battleship Monarch I think perfectly encapsulates WGs mentality on the matter. “They may be outdated, they may be flawed, but even so, they still have the right to exist…” Because at the end of the day, it doesn’t matter if a ship was built, fought, sank, survived or even cancelled because you can’t transfer reputation and experience into 1s and 0s. Every ship has equal footing as long as they have the plans to build off of.
I would agree but in this case they clearly took some liberties. This ship was supposed to have triple turrets and they felt that quads were better based off of known technology but then made the ship faster than it should have been despite the increased armor. I love looking at the ships designs and looking up their history but for this game I just don’t understand some of the choices they make.
@Bukiyou Neko i do know some decisions are made for balance reasons, but i also learned that they actually do talk to former and current military historians and officials and ask them what they think they would have done as well. So its not just Wg making these decisions, they actually talk to the respective nations navies and archivists as well for their opinion
Yes 10 km broadside Kremlin. 12 shells 9k dmg. Every French BB’s dream.
Player base:Why can’t you be normal!
Bourgogne : Screams in 32mm armour
TBH, when I saw the quad turrets, I was like “Yup, that’s French”
we recrate war ships accurately from there blue prints. your kidding right? half your ships are wrong not talking bout ones that never existed though speaking of ones that did like Langley and Algeria list gose on and on with made up addons to increase there weapons load out tho for sake of game play not bad idea but claiming that your doing accurate ship recreations is a joke
What? She has the stats of a pre-nerf Alsace, even more buffed. She’s the best tier 10 BB if it wasn’t because of Thunderer.
I remember when they release this after they nerf Alsace
@You Mad Bro not like Alsace was an OP tier 9 BB right?
