[SCRUB] lup3s Players 5,744 posts 32,868 battles Report post #3 Posted March 12 I used IFHE on them - like I do on 155mm Mogami. Though I haven't played these ships in Randoms, only in Ops. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Actually genuinly hurts the Zao line and Yoshi/Azuma so it's even more pointless there. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In the Yodo line, IFHE is worth it on any of the ships, if you're fine with giving up the fire chance. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Which would be why I seperated the opinion into two sentences. Also, if you want to be technical the Azuma and Yoshino are CB's not CA's 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[LOKTR] Viridem Players 381 posts 13,270 battles Report post #9 Posted March 13 Yes starting with Omono. Even without IFHE, these ships aren't good fire starters, so you don't give up on much anyway. Since you're often shooting from long distances, and with that long flight time, it's hard to accurately aim for thin parts of the ships. With IFHE, you increase your chances of your shells doing damage when they land on your target. Even at close range. Imagine seeing a nice unsaturated bow or stern, which you could shoot for an easy 10k damage, except it's 32mm thick and you don't have IFHE... You could load AP, but then there's a big risk it's gonna bounce... You could do without IFHE if you have a 10 points captain for example. It's not a necessity.
