If you want, you can skip both the Stras and Rich, and wait for the Alsace by just using the Lyon. Even with a crew that is 40 lvls higher than the Lyon, you can regularly get fantastic xp by soloing and sinking a bb4 or 5 - which, for the Lyon, is not all that difficult a task if you play the ship well, and get under 30 degrees firing range to ensure most of your 16 shells hit. I'd average 35k-60k depending on how many BB/CV45 I sink and planes I down on premium while winning in GB2 games.
For me, its Lyon>Paris>Rich>Stras as for as my favorite MN ships. I have only played 6 games using the Alsace so a judgment can't be given yet.
