The 203mm armed FR Cruisers in Tier VII-IX don't need IFHE at all, IMO. Still, some eschew IFHE even for Henri IV and just rely on the high fire chance to burn targets down. Khabarovsk has a significant portion of its forward hull coated in 50mm armor. Other ships may have 50mm armor sections. German BBs are still very popular and Tier VII+ they have 50mm decks.
With IFHE you cross the critical 50mm armor threshold. Henri IV HE Pen WITH IFHE: (240mm / 6) x 1.3 = 52mm of armor needed to defeat that HE shell. Henri IV HE Pen without IFHE: 240mm / 6 = 40mm of armor needed to defeat that HE shell. IFHE? Despite the last tech tree CL being in Tier VI? That's because some guys want IFHE for Henri IV in Tier X. Option 1 Normal Build and Option 2 IFHE Build. There is even a coupon to get it a bit cheaper.įor subsequent captain points, you have 2 options. This upgrade is found in the Armory for Coal. That is a big deal for the FR Cruiser you favor the most. It increases the active time of Engine Boost by 50%. If there is a particular FR Cruiser you really want to play more of, I highly, highly encourage blessing it with Engine Boost Mod 1 upgrade, which goes in Slot 2. In the tech tree, only Tier IX-X have decent AA, the rest of the ships in the tech tree are really bad in AA. Slot 5, some prefer CSM1 for Full Stealth, some go for SGM3 for even better Rudder Shift time.
In Slot 2 I'd equip SGM1 to help on your rudders, which seem to go out a lot on a bunch of FR Cruisers. Upgrades (As they open up when you go further down the Line): MAM1 / SGM1 / ASM1 / SGM2 / CSM1 / MBM3 SI - Consumables are a key feature for this Line as you go higher in the tiers. Normally I take AR first but the Rudders are an annoying issue, and I hated popping DCP for the sake of broken Rudders. LS - Last Stand because the Rudders seem to go out on many ships of this Line.
