The decision to make her guns not available is understandable. Even so they were  good, the 100 mm were only single mounts. So as equipment, they would have lesser stats than already existing guns such as the japanese 10 cm which are double.

Same goes for the AA 37 mm gun. It will be useless compared to the 40 mm bofors. Don't even need to talk about the 13.2 mm AA guns (do you seriously use the 12.7 mm and 25 mm AA guns on your girls ?).

However equipping her with only one type of plane ?! Where the hell are the Loire 130 recon flying boats ? As for the Loire 210.... really a bad idea. They were very disappointing and underperforming due to the Admiralty disregards of the role of the aviation in the navy. In short they would be a POS. The HD 780, a seaplane derivative of the Dewoitine  D.520, would have been good if only its development hadn't been stopped by History...

The problem with French equipments is that most of them would have lesser stats than the best ones we have now unfortunately due to them being prewar designs. And the few prototypes you could find will only go up to 1943 at best.
