Its bad enough you act like throwing 40 pounds of C4 at the front of tank is gonna do nothing, and even worse you won’t buff its reload or anything to make up for the fact it doesn’t do anything. A Tank with a gun this big and powerful should not have to go around sniping weakspots to get kills.
it ripped the turret clean of a Centurion MK1 for Snails sake, it nearly did the same to a UPARMORED Conqueror.
I have hit IS-3s in the face and non penned, which is the EXACT vehicle that this thing was built to delete off the face of the planet. Panthers can survive hits to the UFP, and even turret, and only lose 1 crewmember. Tiger 2s can flat out just tank the rounds to the face and only loose 1-2 crew.
Why are the Artillery pieces never designed to engage tanks at any point, BETTER tank destroyers than a vehicle built with the express purpose of BEING a Tank Destroyer?
And with the Rumors of the FV215 being a Upcoming event reward, i REALLY doubt its gonna be of any use either. At this point just give it the Proposed full bore AP round the British were gonna develop to go with the HESH round.
until the last two years information that wasn’t BS from WoT wasn’t easily available
Its not popular enough for gaijin to care about the vehicles non functional shell
not quite C4, its plasticised RDX, same explosive but different mixture. Its effectiveness should be sufficient to snap any MBTs hull in half unless they have very spaced or thick composite armour.
it threw the turret off a mk1 cent and cracked the hull of a conqueror through the bazooka plates and damaged most internal components beyond repair.
Really at the moment I see no reason for FV4005 sit at BR it is when KV-2 feels like so much better vehicle. In KV-2 you don’t die to first auto cannon or heavy MG that shoots at you. You’re smaller profile(Not much but still) and most importantly 152mm HE feels so much more reliable then 183mm HESH
Move its BR to like 4.7 where it’d at least overpressure things easier with its busted ass HESH round
Fix HESH (probably extremely high effort to do right
Just make HESH work exactly like HE and it’d thunderpummel as it should
As it stands right now, the round just isn’t compatible with the volumetric stuff for sure. Hitting the MG on a Panther and having that soak the entire 183mm round is just absurd.
It’s fun when it works, but the reload rate combined with the 3 strikes on defense (Garbage armor, garbage agility, garbage profile) means that the round HAS to work every time, and as it stands it’s not even close.
Also, since everyone here uses the FV4005, where do you shoot Tiger 1’s? I always try to shoot the turret face pretending I’m shooting an HE shell, but it non pens and does nothing
