Hier die Erklärung:

Und hier das Ganze noch verständlicher:

Destroyers

Tier II - IFHE is not needed.
Tier III - IFHE is not needed.
Tier IV - IFHE is not needed.
Tier V - IFHE is not needed when top tier, but is useful when facing higher tiered opponents.
Tier VI - Generally speaking, IFHE is effective for all gun calibers, but of less value when facing tier VIII opponents. 120mm guns are especially taxed when bottom tier.
Tier VII - Generally speaking, IFHE is effective for all gun calibers, but of less value when facing tier VIII & IX opponents. 120mm guns are especially taxed when bottom tier.
Tier VIII

    Japanese 100mm - Take IFHE
    120mm - Not recommended
    127mm - Effective when top tier. IFHE's use falls off dramatically against tier VIII+ cruisers and battleships.
    128mm - Effective when top tier. IFHE's use falls off dramatically against tier VIII+ cruisers and battleships.
    130mm & 139mm - IFHE Is reasonably effective due to ability to penetrate all tier VI & VII battleships and cruisers from tiers VI through IX.
    150mm - IFHE Is reasonably effective due to ability to penetrate all tier VI & VII battleships and cruisers from tiers VI through IX.

Tier IX

    Japanese 100mm - Take IFHE
    113mm - Not recommended
    120mm - Not recommended
    127mm - Not recommended
    128mm - Not recommended
    130mm & 139mm - IFHE Is reasonably effective due to ability to penetrate all tier VII battleships and cruisers from tiers VII through IX, but take it or leave it.

Tier X

    Japanese 100mm - Take IFHE
    113mm - Not recommended.
    120mm - Not recommended
    127mm - Not recommended
    128mm - Not recommended
    130mm - Not recommended
    139mm - Not recommended

Cruisers:

Tier I - Stop it, you twink.
Tier II - IFHE is not needed.
Tier III - IFHE is not needed.
Tier IV - IFHE is not needed.
Tier V - When top tier, IFHE isn't necessary, but it becomes very important against higher tiered opponents. Don't take it if you're German.
Tier VI

    150mm - Not needed due to increased penetration of Nurnberg & Makarov.
    152mm - Take IFHE. Reduced effectiveness against tier VIII+ battleships.
    180mm - Take IFHE.
    203mm - Don't take IFHE on 203mm armed ships.
    283mm - Put IFHE down, Spee.

Tier VII

    127mm - Effective when top tier. IFHE's use falls off dramatically against tier VIII+ cruisers and battleships.
    152mm - Take IFHE. Reduced effectiveness against tier VIII+ battleships.
    203mm - Stop it. Get some help.
    210mm - Yorck is German. What are you doing? You don't need IFHE.

Tier VIII

    152mm - Take IFHE.
    155mm - Take IFHE. Mogami 155mm is one of the biggest winners with the IFHE rework.
    203mm - I am going to hurt you.

Tier IX

    152mm - Take IFHE
    180mm - Take IFHE.
    203mm - ...
    305mm - Now you're just being silly.
    310mm - Shut up, boobie-lady.

Tier X

    127mm - Not recommended
    130mm - Not recommended - Except SMolensk there you should take IFHE
    152mm - Take IFHE
    203mm - Where did I leave my chain-axe?
    220mm - Not recommended
    234mm - Not recommended
    240mm - Not recommended
    305mm - Nope.
    310mm - Also nope.

Battleships Secondaries:

Secondaries only really get good enough to spec into from tier VII+ so we'll start there.

Tier VII

    Nagato - Nope
    Ashitaka - Nope
    Colorado - Very no.
    Sinop - Nope
    Poltava - Shame on you, no.
    Gneisenau - Nope, her HE pen is good enough without it.
    Scharnhorst - If you want to be twinky and have her 105mm penetrate battleship extremities for the memes, go for it. But this is more of a joke than actually needed.
    King Georgge V - Nope
    Hood - Nope
    Nelson - Nope
    Duke of York - Nope
    Lyon - Very no.

Tier VIII

    Amagi - Nope
    Kii - Her 100mm look SOOOO good, but their range sucks monkey butts, so they're not worth spec'ing into. Nope.
    North Carolina - Nope
    Alabama - Nope
    Massachusetts - It's only effective when she's top tier. Otherwise, the use for this falls off dramatically. It's no longer really good.
    Vladivostok - God no.
    Lenin - Leave these neckbeard secondaries out of it.
    Bismarck - Again, the 105s could use it but you don't NEED it. Use those skill points elsewhere.
    Tirpitz - As per her famous big sister.
    Monarch - HAHAHA, very no.
    Vanguard - Also no.
    Richelieu - Nope.
    Gascogne - MAYBE if you brawl often with Gascogne. Actually, it would be fascinating to meet someone who simply plays Gascogne often. Nope otherwise.
    Roma - Nope.

Tier IX

    Izumo - God, no.
    Musashi - HA! No.
    Iowa - Nope.
    Missouri - Nope
    Georgia - Pass here too. You're just not facing enough lower-tiered ships where her penetration threshold works. Like the German ships, you can go for it if you want to giggle a bit, but it's not worthwhile.
    Sovetsky Soyuz - Nope
    Friedrich der Große - As before with other German BBs. It's only fun for the memes, but it's not needed. They're good without it.
    Lion - Very no on toast.
    Alsace - Nope.
    Jean Bart - Nope.
    Bajie - Nope.

Tier X

    Yamato - No.
    Montana - Also no.
    Ohio - Also also no.
    Kremlin - Also also also no.
    Großer Kurfurst - Also also also also no.
    Conqueror - Also also also also also no.
    Thunderer - Also also also also also also no.
    Republique - Also also also also also also also no.
    Bourgogne - Say it with me: Also also also also also also also also no.

I suppose I could have just "TL-DR" - if German with 105mm at tier VII+, sure, otherwise Also No."
