No it's definately probable since the lyon and normandie have more range than the paris.
Also the lyon and normandie have more total overall guns on the ships over the paris.
The Paris has 10 12" guns, so you must be very precise, since the shells are so small. I've played the Paris a lot now, it's tough for me cus im used to high angle guns. Once i used to it, seems like the shells do less damage, but the reload time on the guns are a lot less, atleast it seems that way.
The normandie and lyon with at level even gunners 10 levels higher with EBVE gunners have a shogunny spread at max range, with bad reload, but for a low level as it is, it has tons of range and hitting power.
I'm running a Paris with 5 engies 3 Elites, 2 +11s, the only thing the 5 of them are lack is about 2 exp packs each, all have boosts and over 100 vets. Aside from that I put the CA I engine on and only go 36 knots max speed. The CA I engine is lighter than the BB engine as well, but has more horsepower than the BB I engine.
Therefore you get screwed going the bottom line, Paris is a not that much of a fun ship to play. The top line however, the Lorrain has more range than the lyon and normandie, which is fair but extremely overpowered. Since the Lyon and Normandie guns out range an Andria Doria.
Choose top line it's better and more fun, I would have argued to go the top line before knowing this.
