What you lose in fire damage you will gain in normal HE pens on almost any ship at any angle.
Honestly, I feel it is more of a nerf to the RN CLs if anything as they just get hosed no matter what now.Īs for the reduced fire chance, yes it is still worth it. I like it on cruiser just for that fact that you can hurt BBs where your AP would bounce and you wouldn't pen with HE. And if the reduced chance for fire sets a fire that fire is extra bonus damage. So when battleships were angling against other battleships and cruisers, AP shells would just bounce and little to no damage is done against the battleship, but with IFHE it doesn't matter what angle the battleship is doing, HE now pens and does substantial damage. the main damage vector of cruisers was to start fires and burn battleships down.īut with IFHE, 152mm (light cruiser guns) can now pen the 25mm battleship armor and HE doesn't bounce no matter what angle. HE before IFHE would never pen, only cause superficial superstructure damage. Normal AP shells at certain angles bounce, like in tanks. The point is not to set a fire, but to pen BB armor. Does that matter? I'm still so new to the game I am trying to figure all of this out. When you add this skill it decreases your chance of starting a fire. If I have a German cruiser captain, would I still do this? I ask because German cruiser don't seem to be as good at setting fires.
