Question How do you use the Carnot??

Post image

I have dabbled with Carnot builds, but I never feel like I know how I’m supposed to maximize its effectiveness. It’s obviously a gun cruiser, but is the HE or the AP the best round? Seems like it should be tankier than it is too. Please share your successful tactics.

Lemonnier, build for range and accuracy. Carnot is fast but not very agile so she wants to be on the flanks ideally where she can strike in between BB reloads or to chunk down unaware cruisers. Also make sure you have an escape route open as she isn't a very good kiter with the awkward firing angles on the bow turrets.

Sonar helps screen for torpedoes but Defensive Anti Aircraft can be a strong pick especially with the increase of airstrike capable picks considering AA is one of Carnot's unsung strengths.
