Henri IV looks like a fun ship. One thing I’ve noticed about French cruisers is that they are always preferred prey for American CAs. There are rumors about an upcoming French DD line, and I think those sound promising.

That is definitely true. The AP can hurt CLs quite a bit, and happily citadels at range. Excellent HE against BBs. Not quite as useful against DDs due to dispersion, I find, unless they're being silly. Not the best allround / utility cruiser out there, but in her role, she's very good. Where I've been struggling is when it comes down to carrying my team, especially in situations where I can't play mobile / at range, like centre-cap / epicentre maps.

On the first game with the Yamato, when it got closer to you, instead 11km, you can citadel a Yamato and AP could have done more damage. Thank you for the video. I love my Henry Edit: finished the video, she is a flanker. Sitting in cap means she is dead. It's a very niche cruiser but is insanely powerful ship as a hit and run.

Hello Terry, Very good French prononciation for Henri IV. The most problem with this ship is the carrier... If the adverse carrier player want you, you died, fast. I hope than WarGaming make one job to make more battle without carrier (in priority for the no often carrier player)... Because the pleasure to start one battle with 3 fires and 1 flood... Currently, I haven't use a lot this ship for this point (but with my Worcester I'm happy to encounter carrier, I don't know why 😂). To unlock this ship is not easy, French tech line not the more friendly I think.😉 The T8 is good (but when you have the excellent Bayard, not so much) but AA problem. The T9 is a big T8 who play in T10. Henri IV can be very fun. The HE and AP are very good and the range is OK (I have the historical camo). Torpedoes range and reload time help a lot. I use the propulsion to play start and reverse to dodge the BB shells. On the captain, I use the skill for 4 reload (road to level 11 and apcs). Like the République, this skill is very great (only 2 on base for the République), on 1vs1 with one other cruiser you take the advantage. I have the French legendary commander, not use on tech tree to the moment, choice between République and Henri IV not make. Not the better ship. But interesting to play, old school without sonar and radar, but great with the speed and reload skills.

In a 1:1 situation, they're certainly matched. Henri can keep the distance, and burn down the Hindi, whereas Hindi would probably win a brawl. Where they differ is the team situation imo. Hindi can take some fire, and has the torpedo strike capability to hold a position against anything but a CV. Hindi has the precision to AP destroyers into oblivion at long range, where Henri might have the rate of fire advantage, but struggles to get shells on target. I see Henri as more specialised, and Hindi more of an allrounder.

Hey Terry, that was a good video man... can you please make a video on the IJN Takao? I purchased her just yesterday, and guess what, she's one of the multiple ships that are getting a buff in 4.4.0. I'd really like to see how she compares to other T8 CAs and what playstyle suits her the most. And of course, I'd love to know what equipments to use for her as well in the video :)

I recommend checking out Flamu’s video on cruiser positioning where he uses the Mogami, and iChase’s video on IJN and USN cruiser positioning where he plays the Atago (Takao class). I know it’s wows PC, but lots of what they say is applicable in blitz, and watching those two videos in particular helped me so much. Flambass also demonstrates what not to do in an IJN heavy cruiser, while featuring the Ibuki in his “School of wows” series. Myoko, Takao, Ibuki and Zao have identical playstyles. These ships are very punishing of mistakes at higher tiers. They don’t do well in extended gunfights vs. other heavy cruisers. A Wichita, Hipper, Charles Martel or Amalfi that knows what it is doing can easily beat you. You can hit back hard as well, Takao has heavy broadside firepower, but you don’t have the hp to take much return fire. You can out trade them in short duration exchanges, however. You also have a TON of control over choosing the fights you want to take. With ~7.4km concealment, you generally get to fire first, and are fast and stealthy enough to disengage when you need to. Terry’s videos on the Maya and Myoko would be very helpful too. Takao’s AP is pretty solid, I would use it on everything under 8-9 km, aiming for the weak spots, of course. HE is better on DDs under 5 km, and gives consistent damage beyond 9km. Don’t rely on the torpedoes too much, that can end up going horribly wrong. Just use them for area denial, and dump them in the general direction of enemies that you are kiting away from. Break away from your reliance on the white indicator. Your guns have good HE and AP, and are quite reliable. Don’t hesitate to stop shooting and get undetected if you’re attracting too much attention. Takao’s armor is unreliable, and it has phenomenal concealment for a heavy cruiser.

I don't consider my Henry an HE spammer. With the commander lvled up AP hits like a truck and I only use HE situationally. The AP can pen mostly anything the BBs have for it. I damn sure wouldn't waste the reload on HE. Always AP. She taught me how to aim todos backwards and fire from long distances. Your reach is greater than most you come up against.

Awesome review. You did a good job at showing how this ship stacks up against the other cruisers. I’m a BB main an when I was looking at grinding a cruiser, I actually looked at the Henry. But decided to go with Des Moines just because it’s more let’s say forgiving . But the Henry does have better range an Torps. I still look at Henry as a more advanced cruiser player ship. So you made some comments during the game , in my progression what do you think the next optional cruiser should be Zao or Hindinburg?
@FunandGameswithTerry3 жыл бұрын
I haven't played Zao yet, so I can't say much (but I'm planning to give her a go soon). Hindenburg is an excellent ship imo, and I personally find her easier to play than the Henri. The German 203mm AP is murderous, in return, her HE isn't very good. Hindenburg has the edge in precision, she can get a lot of pain on target at long range, as some cheeky DDs have found out the hard way. Hindenburg has better armour - she can't tank like a BB, but against cruiser fire, she can take quite a beating, and while she doesn't have the torpedo range, she has the edge in pure damage output. No battleship can rush a Hindenburg that's holding a corner, since they'll be greeted with 16 torps and citadels. Same goes with DDs - while Hindi doesn't have the HE output and dps that an Henri has with the RR, she has the precision, and, once again, can saturate the vicinity with more torps than a Shima. Henri is more of a "specialised" ship - she's a good ranged HE spammer / kiter against large targets, and is dangerous against cruisers with AP, but struggles with DDs due to dispersion issues, and has to be constantly on the lookout in terms of positioning. Lastly, Hindenburg has a 4.5km sonar, which gives her an edge again in DD hunting.

There is something really weird about the French cruiser line, the tier 6 La Gallisonniere was a super fun ship to play and then comes Algerie and the heavy cruisers.... I also noticed that only a few people are playing the French cruisers ( maybe because the higher tiers aren’t that well seen from the playerbase and have no special gimmic to offer like the other lines....)
@FunandGameswithTerry3 жыл бұрын
I'm up to Algerie in my personal account, and she can do well, but oh boy does she attract citadels. It's a similar switch like with Yorck in the German line, you go from a very powerful T6 light cruiser to an average T7 heavy cruiser. The really interesting question for me is, how does the T8 do. Hipper is an excellent ship, well worth the grind, so I'll have to explore that for the French line as well. But yes, you don't see them all that often. They're HE spammers with decent AP, but there are more powerful HE spammers around. If Henri had quintuple launchers, or maybe two triples per side, that would give her a massive boost. I still have to play Zao, but I generally prefer smaller, more mobile ships, it does take some work to compensate for the lack of armour in something the size of Henri.

@FunandGameswithTerry3 жыл бұрын
The issue with haven is the southern spawn. Your left flank has a ways to go into C, and passes by two big opportunities to screw up: a DD spawns left and decides to go B, which is certain death in most cases, or someone gets into C, and parks right next to torpedo alley (the big gap between the islands). Inversely, the northern spawn can grab both caps rather quickly, and if the right flank decides to head for C, it can go badly, but usually, you'd get everyone set up defensively in B for a good firing position much earlier than the southern team can do in C.
