From Reddit: Almost 50K Secondaries damage to "Yamato" in 40 seconds from IFHE Secondary build "Grosser Kurfurst"...

[Affeks]

HAHA many are just recently catching on to IFHE GK, meanwhile many of us has been scoring close to 100k damage scores with secondaries for a year now.

 

So many missed out on the by far coolest gimmick build in the game!

 

 

Behold, yall are sheep if you run a survivability/concealment build on your GK commanders!

 

You turn your ship into a literal hard counter to Montys and Republique with only a couple of commander skill points spent haha

Will this work on a Scharnhorst?  

Could I turn my lovely Shineyhorse into an even better secondary platform?

Nah IFHE isnt good unless you have 128mm guns.

 

the 105mm guns have 1/6 HE pen rule while 150mm already pen 32mm plating due to 1/4 HE pen rule, so IFHE will only help the 105mm guns to pen 19mm armor.

 

Even for Gneisenau, the 128mm guns already pen 30mm plating which is over the 25mm threshold needed to damage BB hulls from tier 6-7 and cruiser hulls from tier 8+. So IFHE isnt really usefull for any german ship other than GK.
