Jack_Sparrow123 Players 153 posts 12,646 battles Report post #1 Posted June 19, 2018 can actually pen 27mm deck armor of cruisers? Just asking if I calculate it ok: 127/6*1.3 = 27.516666..667 rounded it is 28 so it can pen max 27mm ??? Is it IFHE overall worth it for Republic? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I run partial secondary build (AFT-Manual-Secondary range mod) and I think that with the RoF and fire chance of the french secondaries is not worth as a direct damage dealer (even then, at the extreme ranges you are firing your secondaries most of the time, you are mostly hitting superestructures, dealing damage in the process) but as fire starters (then IFHE can be detrimental). Also, the 4 points needed for IFHE go for the more useful concealment expert Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Quite significant imo and a huge deterrent against crusiers and dd's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So the raw damage is certainly something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

From a friend who test this ship with IFHE I hard - no. Because this ship already have great secondary power. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[TTT] __Helmut_Kohl__ Beta Tester 3,486 posts 15,995 battles Report post #12 Posted June 20, 2018 IFHE-Republique can rack up serious amounts of damage, especially against Cruisers. But is it worth it? To me it feels like Republique should stay at medium range, since it is actually quite accurate and not super tanky. Alsace on the other hand profits a lot from getting those 12 inaccurate guns closer to their target. While the 100mm shells on Alsace still lack with IFHE (not worth 4p), Alsace actually has almost twice the rate of fire on its secondaries overall, compared to Republique or Bismarck. So it is a great fire-starter and perfect for missions that require many hits. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
