Major Update "Line of Contact" - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 2)

yeh but like what, what ever it was effected all HESH shells ingame

No Idea!, sorry

To be Fair, i rarely use HESH in game, i take 2 just incase, but hardly use them, only when i see really soft targets, and then i shot my loaded round before switching anyways lol ← Lazy

No, no, please.

We need the 2017 one to be an independent vehicle to be added later with APFSDS at a higher BR.

If you make it be a mod of the 10.3 one, you are condemning us to not having a BMPT for Top Tier with APFSDS.

What KE damage would HESH cause?
It deforms on impact, it doesn’t penetrate armour

yeah that was my reaction at first I just thought it was one pack then I took a closer look

I mean I guess if it hits a light enough piece of armour it would probably cause it to deform before it explodes due to the shell weight and velocity

This is gonna cause HESH to overpen unarmoured trucks, isn’t it

edit: nevermind, it already does that

well hesh is an impact fuse so in theory it should detonate almost instantly, if it failed to detonate it instead would shatters the armour sending chunks of steel and plastic explosive through out the vic, so honestly it should still kill trucks even if it somehow over pens lol

I honestly don’t know what they are trying to do with HESH
It behaves way too much like APHE. The fuze sensitivity they assigned to HESH is high enough to allow it to straight up penetrate through thin armour without exploding.

I’ve hit hovering helicopters with HESH and it didn’t detonate, meaning the helis took literally no damage.

The only thing I can think of right now is that the “KE damage” is going to be post-pen pre-detonation spalling or something like that

If only Gaijin knew how the “squash head” part of “High Explosive Squash Head” worked

Clearly the plastic explosives themselves are capable of penetrating metal armour /s

edit: phrasing

I really hope that Australian Boxer CRV is coming. It’d finally give me an Aussie light tank to do scouting tasks with. Sometimes, the repetitive grind of doing these kinds of tasks mean I’d much rather play Australian content if I can. Do it in my “happy place”.

Whos it for anyhow

German event vehicle, they need their third event Boxer

No, the files labelled it as for the UK TT. Which is good news, as it should be for Australia unless they can actually make a CANZAC TT.

I wasn’t aware that it was in the files

It’s going to be an event vehicle either way

wait its in the files?

i dont even think there’s an underbarrel nade launcher in the namemap

I just looked at Gaszabis site, there apparently is a “Dev reference” mentioning it in the files
