Henri IV Change History
- Engine parameters improved. They are now similar to those of the majority of cruisers of her Tier.
- The Engine Boost consumable parameters has been changed, it is now similar to those found on Charles Martel and Saint-Louis. This change will let the ships accelerate and decelerate quicker while the Engine Boost consumable is active.

Ballistics
Armor Model
Overview
The project for a heavy cruiser with a displacement of 13,000 tons was supposed to be armed with nine 203 mm guns in three triple-gun turrets. However, the lifting of all restrictions due to the outbreak of war allowed for the construction of ships with more powerful guns. One of the suitable guns at the beginning of World War II in France was the 240 mm Schneider gun.
