Buffed Henri Is Awesome With Either Build (294k, 7 citadels)

[@ElvroomGames]

I played Hindenburg as a full conceal and range build. I tried no conceal and full dpm build, but didn’t like it. I now have found a good build for me. Conceal and survivability in commander and double rudder in modules. A hybrid lighthouse if you wanna call it

[@FrostBeam009]

Hindenburg sadly one of the most power crept ships in the game if you ask me.

[@wayneisk320]

My feeling is that the Hindy guns are fine. The issue is Hindy use to fill the role of a dpm heavy cruiser. Now we consider it a medium cruiser. She had some protective armor in 2018, now overmatch and SAP can wreck her. I think they should focus on either improving her handling or buffing her armor.

[@vivekpatel3752]

Light house builds are good when you div up with a dd. Current meta and the Jelly fish IQ players will spoil all the fun. The games which make up to a KZbin video generally are cherry pic ones

[@wayneisk320]

​@@vivekpatel3752 Yeah, I only play lighthouse Henri when I am in a division with a DD. You really need to have consistent spotting.

[@31mrvn29]

i would really like to see a henri - castilla comparison, cuz i think both ships share a similar playstyle... i was already searchin for a video like this but didnt found anything... so id be rakky happy do a video like this!

[@MartialEmperor6344]

Uh no castilla and Henri have different playstyles..Henri is run and gun and HE spam and castilla shines at using AP a lot and using F key for broadsides and ambushes but yeh a comparison would be nice to see

[@xxxthwagdrakexxx4672]

​@@MartialEmperor6344 hiv is still pretty good with ap and is probably better than castilla

[@vitezslavlorenc3479]

@@MartialEmperor6344 Most of the time you will HE spam same as with Henri cos no cruisers will sail broadside to you all the time. For me Castilla is better ship.

[@ksl4044]

i was all in on the french cruisers when my addiction to this wretched game came back then i got the st louis and just sort of trailed off into other ships now, im only 100k xp away (assuming i dont use free xp) and now seems like a good time to get henri

[@MikeLowell93]

Henri is BACK!

[@Con9359]

I mean lets be honest, permakiting is going to be what you'll be doing for the majority of the time anyway. Therefore constantly firing and consequently being spotted is more or less what you want to do. I don't see a reason to ever consider full conceal, when all it does is allowing you to disengage from fights that you probably would've won with the extra DPM lighthouse gives. You lose out on DPM and manouverability while retaining the same playstyle that benefits heavily from these things..

[@mkkttmttr3401]

Now we need a Zao buff...

[@B.Heff03]

Lol, WG will hear that and decide to buff the AA because Zao is too strong to them

[@vitezslavlorenc3479]

Zao is fine.

[@shimmers61]

It was recently (few months) buffed. Plus it's unique upgrade improves it

[@martingrzanna2005]

Well timed video 🎉 just grinding to Henri so I was asking me exactly this question

[@dlm9709]

Martel and St. Louis are still a blast to play, so I don't find the grind to be bad at all. Algerie is still strong but the lower tier ones are far too squishy for new players to have much fun with

[@MartialEmperor6344]

Algerie is squishy as well but it's very good in dodging so that makes up for it but not so much for the low tiers yeh they mostly suck..the fun starts at t7

[@chevychevalier8342]

Ever though about doing some more vis on Ship positioning or using smokes for the team ?

[@JackHolland-m3d]

The henri’s reload did get nerfed several patches back PQ. It was like a 1 or 2 second nerf.

[@MartialEmperor6344]

No not 1 or 2 second nerf..the acceleration went from 30 seconds upto 60 70 seconds even worse than BBs or the same as BBs now this nerf has been removed

[@lucamunafo1414]

Would you play this over castilla for flanking, in ranked and clan battles?

[@vitezslavlorenc3479]

Well I don't know. Just play Henri few times and its feels like bigger Zao with worse concealment, DPM, and it just sits higher and has giant citadel that just wait for BBs AP. If you push to BBS you die in both of them but on longer ranges ZAO is just smaller target with bit of troll armor - henri just eats everything. I also have RPF on ZAO so I know where the DD is all the time even if our dies and late game I can chase them and kill them. Also 10km spot is way better and you can go dark most of the time as you want. And you have shima 12km torps..

[@MartialEmperor6344]

Bro Henri has very troll armour lol I think u might be playing it wrong it depends extremely on its throttle juking ability enemy ships will shoot 2 or 3 times and then they will get annoyed and just focus other targets and in bot saying this in theory, this is tried and true..Zao and Henri play very differently..zao uses it's conceal and DD dispersion guns to ambush or open up on unsuspecting ships while henri just annoys the hell out of anything it sees at range

[@vitezslavlorenc3479]

@@MartialEmperor6344 Whats troll about that armor? No sloped citadel, not low in water, no turtleback? Zao can stay hidden and than murder dds, can stealth torp, can spot subs with its sonar, but also can farm BBs like Henri. But all Henri can do is just farm..that 13km concealment is just terrible.

[@lockupforever7466]

​@@vitezslavlorenc3479i think uplay henry the wrong ways😂😂😂....Zao is more of mastering is handling perks....while henry is more of full speed throttle juke...i have both of this ship's but FYI ill never reset Zao tech line for RB point...so freaking pain tech line....but Henry tech tree i already 4th time reset for RB point....

[@redharvst8638]

Played her last night and what fun! Only took WG 4 years to correct.

[@NickHey]

14:13 paid actor at E5 lol

[@xrpjr2126]

How do I unlock the shimakaze? Thanks 😊

[@kieranpi1674]

is the henri iv tech tree line good or is it only the t10 thats a good ship?

[@lockupforever7466]

henry n saint louis tier 10 n 9 super ez to grind.but tier 7 n 8 is super pain is the ass😂😂😂 no heals n super glasscanon...feels lika plying Omaha😂

[@wig_spliterr7622]

Should I get the ohio or the sicilia? First research ship

[@leelime9857]

Not sure this is actually a good thing ...this buff the recent jager release exactly what a really passive metta needed :/

[@mannyplayspoe7183]

There was a time when WG corrected mistakes on the principle that a ship should not feel too cancerous when playing against it. The Henri is one of those ships. Any ape that can alternate between S-key and W-key will be a plague to play against. In the hands of an experienced cruiser player it will only be brought down in a huge team afford that might happen any 10 to 20 matches... But I guess in times of submarines and superships and upcoming CV with AP dodge bombs we don't need to care any more about the opposing side, right CC? With that logic of yours I would say the next ships to unnerf should be Richthofen, Nakhimov, Smolensk. Thunderer, Satsuma

[@thesaltysergeant4103]

Do a Hyuga vid. That ship is epic!!!!

[@A_Slayer_Named_Buffy]

Could someone explain what is a “lighthouse” build? Is it just a focus on gun buffs and no concealment?

[@Conquest2...]

Yes

[@klausjohansen6363]

2 kills after 8 minutes? Thats nice. I rarely get those kind of games if ever. And close to 150 K DMG.

[@Lupus_Indomitus]

Well, to your remark of it maybe being a bit uncomfortable to grind up to the henri, i cant agree at all on that one. All the ships in the line are excellent, and i honestly dint really understand why they buffed the saint louis. Also, even before the update, henri was still resonably comfortable to play.

[@dereban5654]

Lighthouse build for memes and maximum fun. I still need to grind the tier 9 though.

[@MartialEmperor6344]

T9 has also been buffed

[@redhelmetmann]

Im on tier 8 for the French heavy Cruisers they almost don't feel worth it

[@secuter]

Woah the physics on that ship looks lame. Going from 0 to 10 knots with snap of your finger. Apparently its so oiled up that it has no friction.

[@windfire5380]

Great gam up front. That enemy Jean Bart was not much of an aid to his team.

[@critique7767]

i think i know my next grind. its french 😆

[@tehpwnzeez]

Make a chikuma 2 video!

[@clmwrx]

And then there's ships like Vermont and incomparable with big guns and great conceal lul

thats a good way to explaining why tx sucks so bad ships like this

what?

[@j_taylor]

Texas isn't bad exactly, but yeah its AA is no longer game changing.

@@j_taylor why are you talking about texas? TX = T10

[@Crowe_77]

St Louis is TRASH! The Squishest ship at T9!

[@Jean-PaulVAILLERGUES-jg8ge]

Well sorry, but Hindy and Henri are no longer playable ... 1 shot kill all the way ... and acceleration is just sluggish. Is it a dev version you're playing ?

[@shimmers61]

Henri was buffed so it is no longer sluggish.

[@guillaumevayerg7127]

Not much difference even with modules, mine doesn't accelerate like this one.

[@object292z]

Day 3 of asking for Elbing

[@MartialEmperor6344]

Search up trenlass vids he just played elbing 2 or 3 times in the past few days I think

[@CaspCic]

It does not matter. If your team sux, you won't have fun anyways. Edit: hey, you changed your title ...
