Here's our First Look at Tier VII Premium French cruiser Toulon. Toulon introduces the "supercruiser" concept of big ol' 12-inch guns down to Tier VII, where previously only Graf Spee had been this kind of threat (and a mediocre one at that). Toulon is a very different ship from Graf Spee, however, and is a precursor for what we will see with the French cruiser split starting at Tier VIII. Let's dive in and see what she has to offer and speculate on how she'll fit in and play.
