If you do this maneuver with a Bretagne though, you still have to traverse those aft turrets around slowly, nothing can be done there, BUT now you have SIX guns that stay on target and turn roughly as fast as your ship does. So for a period of time, brief though it may be, you've only got four guns on target. Problem: your opponent, and therefor your AIM was also slightly to starboard, so now you have to traverse your bow guns about 45 degrees or so to keep them on target AND your three other turrets over 200 degrees. This will help you bring all of your guns to bear while keeping your bow pointed at the more distant enemies. You're coming around an island to your starboard and you want to show as little profile as possible to this guy's buddies in the back field, so you cut a turn close to the island. So, say you're in a New York and you're closing on an opponent at mid range. I couldn't quite understand it, then I dusted her off and discovered something mind-blowing: Of all the 5-turret tier 5 battleships-so Bretagne, Konig, Iron Duke, New York, and Texas-Bretagne is the ONLY ONE whose center turret defaults to a FORWARD position! This may not seem like much, but it's kind of huge. And I did well in her too, for a while this ship had my highest kill-to-death ratio. I mean, I like ships like New York, Iron Duke, and Konig just fine, but not like I liked Bretagne. I couldn't really figure it out at first. So I got Bretagne waaaay back when during the French battleship promo, and I really like her.
