APHE its literally the best ammo in the game for post pen damage
Its like throwing a nuke inside of a vehicle
This is how it feels shooting APHE
Thats insanely argueable since if you get way too much ammo youre a walking bomb
What youre saying apply only when you get like less than 10 ammo on the Turm
Some 8.3 tanks. T-55A, M48A2 G, olifant, Magach 6, type 59D, MARS.
There are also tanks like the Italian HVG from the IS-7 event and the Israeli m113 with same gun, given it’s a very bad APFSDS, but it can still penetrate the T58.
Please correct me if I am wrong. But these are the tanks I can remember top of my head.
The T58, is balanced by the fact that most people use the HESH rounds instead of the horrible APHE, that makes it partial to the HEAT slingers like AMX-30/DF105; not saying that HEAT rounds are good or something, but that puts them on a more even ground despite the BR differences.
100% true but you aren’t going pen most things frontally, especially MBTs at 8.7+.
It’s why sabot and APFSDS generally become more important than APHE – though APHE can still be very useful against things from the side.
Kinda. It still has the spall shield regardless of how much ammo you take, so shooting for crew via hull shot may not always work.
~20 Shells in Turm III isn’t that hard to detonate but it’s definitely harder than the maximum of 47 shells you can carry, and which is displayed in protection analysis.
TURM III has no survivality like the DF105/Mardar chassis tanks. Anywhere can be one shot with APHE.
Likewise, even with APDS, it has higher chance than average to be severely disabled (gun breech, autoloader etc) instead of just having commander and gunner killed.
You shouldn’t use it as a talking point honestly.
I think you will find that any sort of howitzer can overpressure things by shooting them in the tracks.
Oh man you clearly don’t know how survivable the DF105 and Turm III is when you’re shooting HEATFS / APDS at its hull.
DF105 doesn’t even get a turret basket / autoloader.
Indeed, the Mardar based DF105 is very survivable, but not the Leopard 1, which TURM is based on.
Rare moment i agree with tiger here, why are you shooting turm III in the hull lmao, its turret is full of ammo on one side and have two crews on the other
Well to be fair, I wouldn’t say it’s my strongest point for it being too good for 8.3.
I agree that you can kill it fairly easily if you shoot for the turret (as stated here):
But I can’t say that it hasn’t been frustrating shooting hull shots at the Turms III and not getting any damage from it.
Nope,even Howi most of the time struggles to do such thing,rarely happends with SPGs,why does the T58 have 100% success rate of killing you from it tho?Unknown
Thats why Object 279 have better pen with an APHE shell than a literally APFSDS
(Its the only one btw that has such thing iirc)
My poor Aubl, it’s still so bad… m300 has such bad spall
Not even close to similar anymore.
That thing eats shells
Nothing to either of them their perfectly fine just wait till they add more 8.3 tanks for other line ups
Flat pen sure but show me an APFSDS that does worse than it in terms of angle performance.
Yeah,that vehicle looks fun until you shot with it lmfao,its honestly sad
Literally nonpenned tanks from a flat angle on the side,i have clips
Sure
The new Israeli light tank doesn’t seem very promising at 7.7 either.
I think both should get a 4.0s reload.
