I have accumulated 39.5k coal and with a 25% coupon can either buy Aigle now, or earn another 625 coal and buy Red Oktober.
So the question is, which to buy?
I'm leaning towards Aigle, so is there anything particularly terrible about it? Or anything especially good about the Revolution?
Russian wise I have Mollie and Murmansk (T6 and T5), but only have DeGrasse on the French side.

I used mine to buy the Aigle 2-3 weeks ago. It's a good ship. A bit big so gets spotted, but plays similarly to a US DD.
It is my only French bote.
Already back up over 38k coal!

Revolutsiya is Russian Bias. The bow armour will bounce tier 7 bb AP shells easily and its damage control party has an insanely fast reload with decent charges (superintendant) she is virtually impossible to sink with DoT effects because she can repair them so rapidly so many times its actually absurd. She has reliable, if short ranged, AA that will cost an attacking carrier a few planes at least to do any sort of damage to her.
She fires 12 305mm guns in a 4x3 layout in a massive broadside which absolutely obliterates cruisers. Her gun velocity is decent and her AP shells do acceptable damage. the sheer number of shells she fires is beneficial, as her dispersion seems a bit wonky at times.
She can NOT BE HIT BY TORPS. Her damage mitigation of torps is brutally pathetic, and she has the lowest health pool of any tier 5 BB, so any torp hits even to her bulkhead do virtually 90% damage.
Her detection radius is 14 km's, so she has a substantial range for her guns where she can fire then vanish, which I found to be quite pleasant.
I recommend her to any BB enthusiast, who has the patience and the drive to push her to her limits. You will not be disappointed.

Red October has nuclear missiles and is captained by Sean Connery. I think we have a clear winner.

I'd save that coupon for the bigger ships.

Too late, I went for the Aigle. Next coupon is in 5 updates time or Xmas Eve.

I'm considering the Yubari, but...yeah. Dunno. I need another Hydro module for my T-61 (THANK YOU AGAIN, YUREI!!!) and some XP flags because the Yorck is gonna make me jump out a window.

Fire mainly HE with the Yorck. Its one of the few german cruisers that you should. The HE shell velocity is higher than the AP especially at range, its much easier to hit targets with its HE beyond 10km's. Within 10km's, fire AP as normal. Thats what I found anyways.

Maybe I got spoiled with the two botes before it, but ... yeah. Shells are floaty (not quite Cleveland levels, but a LOT more than one would think for 210 mm) and AP is pointless. From all accounts, this and the next are the duds in the line. Just gotta suck it up and deal.
