Does ERA not protect against HESH? Or T58 overpreforming?

Watched the replay and you were hit right above the gun on your turret. You died to overpressure as the explosion penetrated the hull roof and turret roof. ERA wasn’t saving you against that and he hit the very bottom of the ERA plate.

no it doesn’t the t58s shot was a weak point and its 17KG explosive rounds over pressured like it usually does

if T58 use using the heat round it would have been stopped


This is basically the shot he made

T58 is using mini bombs at you the only way to destory it is really destory it before it ever sees you or long range the cannon breaks easily happens all the time

I know very well considering I own it. It’s just Overpressure is a horribly implemented mechanic because Gaijin treats all vehicles as being a uniform empty space and overpressure doesn’t account for internal geometry and partitions.

It didn’t hit my turret, like you said it hit the bottom of the era plate, which should’ve set it off and blew it back. That clip was the server replay.

Again, it stopped the penetrating effect of HESH, it did not stop overpressure due to how badly modeled the mechanic is.

I also own It but I think hesh is a bit overatted when I used heat i was much better

inconsistent sometimes t-72 turret eats hesh sometimes the hesh kills the t72 with overpressure t72 is the most hesh resistant vehicle I played against

Yea overpressure is kinda stupid right now.

For example if the Abrams upper front plate is hit by HE, in reality only the driver should die to it, but because of how it works in game, the entire crew dies.

T58 is only effecitve at close range so stay away since most players use slow HESH they struggle at long ranges spookston made 1 video about hesh and now the whole T58 player base uses it lol but it is actually sort of a good thing for you since T58 can easily be spotted at long range

hesh works great with any track shots usually deletes the whole crew hesh really works with most tanks turret shots its kinda crazy how it works

Yea until i play my AVRE then it doesn’t do anything lol.

It works because Gaijin was lazy with implementation and basically made it an armor piercing HE shell. However I firmly believe it was artifically nerfed on the original HESH slingers like the FV4005.

FV4005 has more explosives I think I don’t think its a nerf its the horrible reload that seems like when you miss a shot its bad

It got nerfed in terms of armor pen and consistency. I’ve survived shells from it when in reality I should have died. The T58 basically has what the FV4005 had when it released, just with a 2.6 second reload.

I don’t think gaijin is dedicated enought to code new hesh fort T58 they most likely just changed a few things on fv4005 hesh
