world of warships henri iv only cruiser that can pen

I have trouble hitting things at max range now. Guns get better but you give up any hope of concealment. Just got the Legendary Mod/Upgrade for the ship and am debating installing it. If you really click with this ship, it can be the best ship to bring. Have to admit I am not great with the ship either. It was most useful in clan battles, when you put a Henri on the kiting flank, stern towards the enemys, dodging incoming fire with redicolous back and forth manouvers. In the coming season there will be Stalingrads that do everything you can do, probably better except dodge (but their HP is so much higher they may not care) and has radar. IFHE rework doesnt matter for Henri in randoms - Accelartion neither. You can punish broadsides but those can be rare. Against CVs: it holds well, a lot better than many other ships. You can speed-tank a bit IF you run the rudder mods over concealment. Long range sniping may not be the best for the team unless you're driving a Yamato or Republique, or you are a really good shot. Can get places fast as the DDs, but that gets you into trouble too. Not useless but not necessarily the best general purpose choice. Used it in Clan battles but felt it didn't help the team as much as say a radar ship would. They need to get close tho, but they are pretty good.Anyone had success with the Henri in Clan Battles? I just got it and have only played it in randoms so far, but I really only wanted a T10 for CBs and this was the line I picked. British cruisers only fire AP, their pen angles are even better than the US, their rate of fire is insane and they have smoke. French cruisers is bassically the same as the Japanese, but starting at T7. Exception is the Moskva, wich has the best AP penetration from all current cruisers, yes, even better than the Spee, she can citadel Battleships at over 10 km, and T10 Battleships at 10 km or below. Russians have great velocity shells, their caliber low, so you need to get a bit closer. USN cruisers have great penetration angles, wich means you can fire AP at angled ships and still do a lot of damage. Japanese cruisers from the Furutaka, pack a mean punh with their high velocity AP. Germans line does great damage, but they need to be close to be consistent, they are brawlers. Just want decent range and a high chance of AP penetration with high damage Pretty much all T10 cruisers can hit pretty hard with their AP.
