== Description ==

The '''{{Specs|name}}''' is a rank {{Specs|rank}} French sub-chaser {{Battle-rating}}. It was introduced in [[Update "Dance of Dragons"]].

== General info ==
=== Survivability and armour ===
{{Specs-Fleet-Armour}}

''Talk about the vehicle's armour. Note the most well-defended and most vulnerable zones, e.g. the ammo magazine. Evaluate the composition of components and assemblies responsible for movement and manoeuvrability. Evaluate the survivability of the primary and secondary armaments separately. Don't forget to mention the size of the crew, which plays an important role in fleet mechanics. Save tips on preserving survivability for the "Usage in battles" section. If necessary, use a graphical template to show the most well-protected or most vulnerable points in the armour.''

=== Mobility ===
{{Specs-Fleet-Mobility}}

''Write about the ship's mobility. Evaluate its power and manoeuvrability, rudder rerouting speed, stopping speed at full tilt, with its maximum forward and reverse speed.''

{{NavalMobility}}

=== Modifications and economy ===
{{Specs-Economy}}

== Armament ==
{{Specs-Fleet-Armaments}}
=== Primary armament ===
{{Specs-Fleet-Primary}}

{{main|138.6 mm/55 model 1910 (138.6 mm)}}
''Provide information about the characteristics of the primary armament. Evaluate their efficacy in battle based on their reload speed, ballistics and the capacity of their shells. Add a link to the main article about the weapon: <code><nowiki>{{main|Weapon name (calibre)}}</nowiki></code>. Broadly describe the ammunition available for the primary armament, and provide recommendations on how to use it and which ammunition to choose.''

{{:138.6 mm/55 model 1910 (138.6 mm)/Ammunition|138.6 mm OEA Mle 1919 HE, 138.6 mm OPF Mle 1910 SAP}}

=== Secondary armament ===
{{Specs-Fleet-Secondary}}

{{main|75 mm/35 model 1897 (75 mm)}}
''Some ships are fitted with weapons of various calibres. Secondary armaments are defined as weapons chosen with the control <code>Select secondary weapon</code>. Evaluate the secondary armaments and give advice on how to use them. Describe the ammunition available for the secondary armament. Provide recommendations on how to use them and which ammunition to choose. Remember that any anti-air armament, even heavy calibre weapons, belong in the next section. If there is no secondary armament, remove this section.''

=== Anti-aircraft armament ===
{{Specs-Fleet-AA}}

{{main|Hotchkiss pattern 1914 (8 mm)}}
''An important part of the ship's armament responsible for air defence. Anti-aircraft armament is defined by the weapon chosen with the control <code>Select anti-aircraft weapons</code>. Talk about the ship's anti-air cannons and machine guns, the number of guns and their positions, their effective range, and about their overall effectiveness – including against surface targets. If there are no anti-aircraft armaments, remove this section.''

== Usage in battles ==

''Describe the technique of using this ship, the characteristics of her use in a team and tips on strategy. Abstain from writing an entire guide – don't try to provide a single point of view, but give the reader food for thought. Talk about the most dangerous opponents for this vehicle and provide recommendations on fighting them. If necessary, note the specifics of playing with this vehicle in various modes (AB, RB, SB).''

=== Pros and cons ===

''Summarise and briefly evaluate the vehicle in terms of its characteristics and combat effectiveness. Mark its pros and cons in the bulleted list. Try not to use more than 6 points for each of the characteristics. Avoid using categorical definitions such as "bad", "good" and the like - use substitutions with softer forms such as "inadequate" and "effective".''

'''Cons:'''

== History ==

''Describe the history of the creation and combat usage of the ship in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the ship and adding a block "/History" (example: <nowiki>https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Ship-name)/History</nowiki>) and add a link to it here using the <code>main</code> template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <code><nowiki><ref></ref></nowiki></code>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <code><nowiki><references /></nowiki></code>. This section may also include the ship's dev blog entry (if applicable) and the in-game encyclopedia description (under <code><nowiki>=== In-game description ===</nowiki></code>, also if applicable).''

== Media ==

''Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.''

== See also ==

''Links to articles on the War Thunder Wiki that you think will be useful for the reader, for example:''
* ''reference to the series of the ship;''
* ''links to approximate analogues of other nations and research trees.''

== External links ==

''Paste links to sources and external resources, such as:''
* ''topic on the official game forum;''
* ''other literature.''

 A single 75 mm gun on the bow of the vessel has a very limited arc of fire, both horizontally and vertically, making it useful only in the most desperate circumstances, when the main guns are disabled or otherwise incapable of reaching targets that the 75 mm can still aim at.

 '''Pros:'''
-* Can hull break smaller boats
+* Spawns next to other patrol boats rather than destroyers and frigates
-* Is capable of inflicting serious damage against destroyers
+* Equipped with potent 138 mm cannons
-* High survivability, at 103 crew
+* High survivability
 '''Cons:'''
 * Gun placement means you have to fully expose yourself to fire broadsides
-* Large and easily recognisable target

-Despite lacking any hull armour and having a 16 mm steel hull, which is thinner than that of the [[L9059]], Arras has significantly better survivability. There are a few contributing factors to this: its much larger crew complement and a better distribution of said crew, fuel tanks protecting the boiler rooms, and multiple internal compartments, which together provide much better protection than would otherwise be expected.

 {{main|Hotchkiss pattern 1914 (8 mm)}}
 Three single 8 mm guns are, quite unusually, firing ammunition without tracers or other visible projectiles. Given the low calibre, the gun is fundamentally unlikely to score any easy kills with the use of AI gunners. But the lack of psychological effect or visual bullet tracers to lead the rounds on target during manual operation is the biggest issue of the gun.
 Neither you nor the enemies will know that the anti-air gunners are engaging a target, making you a tempting target for any enemy aeroplane in proximity, as the Arras will likely be the only large target not spraying the sky with visible anti-air gunfire.
