Jean Bart SSR Battleship doesn’t deserve to be the end of the battleship era, and she died like a weed that desperately wants to live. She wants to be on her own, and the history was not nice on her.
How To Get Jean Bart?
She is available on light and dark events, and you won’t get her more than that. As befitting her way of being a battleship with her first limit break like french BB, these grants can instill someone.
However, this makes you have to play manual because her skill forces you to play manual for massive damage, but again this is your own choice to make shots faster than yours or make shots that have more significant damage. She is one of the best elite unit killers, and you can make use of her a lot on the event map.
You will not regret it if you train her. However, you will lose a ton of damage if you aim improperly, so be careful in using here in manual play and if you don’t mind using your oil, bring IBP to plenish them faster.
Also, the only thing you should not do with Jane Bart is to fight against submarines as they are only being damaged in-depth charge, and they won’t go in to hunt you, so you don’t have to kill them except if you want to do three stars.
Weapon
Jean Bart is forced to use her only weapon, MLE 1935, as her second skill will boost that weapon for higher critical chance and damage.
However, this is still RNG, so do not expect her to get critical so often, and if you want to use other weapons, you can, but you would not get critical chance and damage.
She doesn’t have the highest firepower, she scores more in the upper average for that, but this doesn’t prove too much. However, her firepower stat still deals massive amounts of damage that can also increase with a high reload because of her skills.
Survivability
She is quite tanky for a french by having a modest 6900 hit points and getting one of the better evasion with 23 points, and because of that, she can survive for a long time.
She is classified as a fast battleship, and probably one more reason for that high evasion is that she was missing one gun for a long time which perfectly fits her AA stat.
Jean has problems with her anti-air, and she has one of the weaker AAs under the battleships. She only has 70 AA efficiency, which is not that good.
Skill
Jean Bart has two perks, and none of them is a barrage. Her first perk is named Pirate’s Soul, it does additional 60% more damage, but this is not everything since you deal with 60% more damage if you aim manually.
Usually, you do 20% more damage if you aim to target the people who play the game manually, but with a skill, it increased to 60%, so be sure you play manually with Jean Bart to get spicy damage.
Her next skill is named Final Shot; if you equip the Jean Bart gun, your crit chance increases by 30%, and the crit damage increases by 50%. So if you get a crit in your first shot, then it is instant death for pretty much anything.
Equipment
For the main gun, take the quadruple 380 mm, this gun is terrible compared to the other one, and it is only suitable for Jean.
For a secondary gun, use the triple 155 mm gun or the triple 152 mm mod that does better DPS but is not worth it on the backline ships.
You can always go to the typical BB build with two shells for the auxiliary gun, which is a perfect build for Jean Bart.
To adjust her punch strength, go for MLE 1935 as this is her sole reason to be that strong.
Use white shell for critical damage, black shell for higher critical chance, good or purple fire control radar for firepower and accuracy.
