What's Wrong with British Tanks?

Just a HESH issue, Britain can pen tigers at 2.7 with the archer, and 3.3 with the crusader mk 3, both rather easily

Crusader is great to uptier

The joke went right over your head didn’t it

+ why are you resurrecting 2 month old threads lmao

I forgot to look at the time, and I also was bored… that pretty much it. ‘_ :) _/‘

edit what happened to my backslash? It is there when i try to edit my post, but not when I post it?

Looking back at it, it did go over my head, but I also just woke up, so maybe that’s why

They’re British

/s

Britian suffer so France suffer more

*bri`ish

Brits do have some good stuff in some brs like Fox, Chieftain MK10 and the FV4030. Since the spam is over we start seeing more and more 4030 players who figured out how to play it, this thing is crazy annoying to fight against, the turret is almost as tough as the Stillbrew and it has 5 second reload timer, penning the hull often doesn’t prevent the vehicle from return fire, only time I was able to kill it was stealth kill.

I just recently discovered that Track Rapier is solid shot missiles

Cause when you create a new thread poeple say that there’s an existing thread about it lol, nobody’s ever happy in here lol.

What the fuck?

They basically didnt model any of the fragmentation in the Rapier missile and gave it a 4m Fuze, so with its 500g explosive mass it does literally nothing against anything.

You clearly haven’t been using hesh then.

hesh is on paper and irl the best anti armour round, in game you can hit a panther mantlet with 183mm hesh and do nothing, if you hit the upper front plate, an angled surface, literally what hesh is designed to counter, it destroys both tracks and nothing else. Hit the engine deck of a tam with 105mm, doesn’t overpressure, literally made the engine yellow lmao. hesh is incomprehensibly broken right now, and there is literally no argument against this.

That guy always has the weirdest takes in here.

can you imagine if gaijin did an fps, dudes got to the door and try to breach it with c4 and nothing would happen?

I think another massive feature of Hesh IRL is that its reliable that it will detonate and cause damage,
E.g
If a CR2 shoots a T80 in the UFP with hesh, even if it doesnt penetrate the tank, which it likely wouldn’t, It would still cause massive damage to the areas surrounding it, and possibly even send a scab inside, more likely itll demolish the barrel and other aspects such as that, leaving the T80 Out of action.
(this is an example not 100 percent fact) more shows hwo the round works

However in game you can wallope the side of a BMP2 with a 120mm Hesh from a chieftain and do absolutely. nothing.

At the very least would probably take out the tracks and rattle the crew inside enough to completely disoritate or maybe even injure them

Yeah you get my point, it wouldnt just detonate on the front and do absolutely nothing xD

Yeah, what is most damming is the clips of unarmoured targets like Pantsir/FlakRads tanking hits and barely loosing a tyre.

HESH is definetly fundamentally broken.
