Please fix overpressure
it is absolute madness that any HE
shell with more then 85g of TNT does
overpressure one hits any open top vehicle
while light tanks can take a hit from an 152mm APHE
and go on with their lifes as if nothing happened
i dont know how but pls fix.
Overpressure only kills crews. So Even when a light tank gets hit by a large shell, unless the shell hit in such a way that fragments enter the crew compartment, no overpressure takes place.
The main issue with such a scenario is when a vehicle made out of 15mm steel plates gets hit by a shell that can penetrate 60mm via explosive force, there shouldn’t be much left of the vehicle.
Like it would basically get torn appart. But in WT, the shell might only destroy the tracks and the engine, even though it should have destroyed parts of the hull.
Kinda like a, hm what could you call it… 🤔
Hullbreak!

You refer to no other type of shell than “HE shell”.
Unless you are assuming everybody else is telepathic and can interpret what you wrote as something entirely different from what you wrote, then I have to inform you that we are not telepathic and you will just need to write correctly.
Yes I am happy that you have corrected your post so that people can actually understand what you are trying to ask. Ecstatic even.
And to follow up on your now rectified addition of APHE:
If the armour is thin enough to the point wherein it does not set off the fuse of an APHE shell it will just pass through a vehicle and overpressure never comes into the equation. For example, the BR-540 APHE shell for the ISU-152 which has a fuse sensitivity of 19mm, whereas the sides of the BTR are much thinner than this so it will not fuse.
Yes if you hit a module which is sufficiently beefy the shell will fuse inside the vehicle (assuming that it does not over penetrate from fuse delay and detonate outside the other side of the vehicle).
