World of warships battleship he vs ap9/24/2023 ![]() ![]() I used to troll the WoT blitz forums a lot and the clueless dudes posting almost daily sometimes got old. Considering that four Captain skills are a lot I would not equip IFHE in this case and invest the points into Concealment Expert or Fire Prevention.Īs a rule of thumb, the only calibers where IFHE is recommended is 152mm-180mm (note that German Cruisers do not need IFHE in any case) and the 100mm guns on IJN Destroyers.įirst off, sorry in advance if I come across as the 'annoying newbie'. In this case the gain is very small, only a few ships would get affected. ![]() Now you can look at the in-game armor viewer and check where you would gain profit from this skill. If we add IFHE we multiply 95.25mm with 1.3 which results in 123.825mm, or rounded 124mm. So every plate of up to 94mm thickness will get penetrated. ![]() So to take the Queen Elizabeth as an example your HE penetration is 381mm / 4 = 95.25mm This number gets rounded down to 95mm. On British Battleships the HE penetration is a quarter of your caliber (note that they are a special case in that regard, everyone else except for German Battleships and Cruisers T4+ only has a sixth of the caliber as HE penetration). If it is equal or lower you won't deal any damage except for potential fires. If the HE penetration is larger than the thickness, you will penetrate and deal damage. From that point on only two numbers matter: HE penetration and thickness of the armor (without angling). It explodes right on impact, regardless of angle or thickness of the armor. ![]() To understand if IFHE is worth the cost on any of your ships you need to understand the HE mechanics.įirst and foremost, HE will never overpenetrate. Is IFHE a good idea or not? I shoot 99% HE from my RN BBs because Id go insane if I had to deal with AP overpens all day in my battleship grinds, and the fire chances on the British ships is so dang fun (1 salve -> 3 fires) but is it possible to over pen with a HE shell, and/or would I actually LOSE effectiveness against destroyers? Or is IFHE a must have for HE spam? And as it stands right now I am saving up for my 4th tier skill on my RN battleship commander. Higher pen for your HE shells (at the slight cost of fire chance). Anyhow, I get the concept of Inertia fuse. ![]()
