bretagne got longer range, and decent attack and more faster than courbet
courbet got low range, and good attack due to number guns that can aim at each broadside, slow

normandie and lyon is kinda like the same except normandie got 1 less quad than lyon but gain speed and small while lyon got 4 quads so attack power is higher than normandie but its huge than its counterpart and slow

Paris Rox, it justifies Courbet line hands down

Iunno, in terms of rushing paris is soooo much fun. And I guess I am biased because of its 4 front guns FTW. And yes lorraine is alright has more range but as I said before Paris is my BB of choice With a proper setup of Engies and reps you'll have 900 sd by lvl 74, at least in my experience

lorraine with 12" + all support slot engys lvl90+ and 2 reps on tslot youll get 26/38-39, i use to rush in this and they have hard time to hit rofl, (smoke-rush-broadside-fire-rush-broadside-fire), you could do it with 13.4"but only 37-38 OH

maybe if you make a chart will be more easy to understand which line is better?

Lorraine holds more ammo, and on a Paris you run out of space for crew past level 74-5ish if you have all 6 armed with 13.4" guns, so if you're playing 'normally', you'd end up with 2 front and 2 back guns anyway. So I'd say Lorraine better - if you're going to rush with a Paris, it's one extra gun since you can't fire at the same direction with all 4 "front" guns anyway (unless it's really directly straight ahead, good luck with that happening often)

In general, Bretagne if you have balls, Courbet if you suck.

Rehor, just dont say anything, even though I've never played with you, with your attitude, I doubt you play MN.
If you do correct me if I'm wrong, but you don't have to INSULT people for going down a ship line.

PS: You have also greatly offended ME with that statement.
