Gameplay Notes

Special Mechanics

• Able to perform daytime special attacks. Please see Artillery Spotting for more details.

Overview

• Good firepower and armour.
• Decent HP.
• Good plane count.
• Good slot distribution.

Analysis

Priority: Medium

Her firepower and ability to artillery spot is enough to make her a decent daytime combatant. But she falls off in effectiveness at night because she lacks a torpedo stat. Her 4 slots and high plane count allows her to take full advantage of plane proficiency bonuses for airstrikes with seaplane bombers. Being able to equip WG42 and the Type 2 Ka-Mi Tank also makes her a powerful anti-installation ship.

Recommendend Roles

• Combat
• Anti-Installation
• Air Support

Trivia

• She is named after Paul Teste.
• According to Tanibe Yumi and her Interview when she was assigned the role of Commandant Teste, she had to go out of her way and spend an extensive amount of time learning the French Language in order to be able to deliver Commandant Teste's lines.

  • Scuttled via the French when the Germans were invading to avoid capture in November 1942.
  • Refloated by the Italians in May of 1943.
  • Captured by the Germans in September 1943.
  • Bombed and sunk by Allied Forces on August 1944.
  • Refloated again in February 1945.
