…or shoot at tracks! funnily enough thats what works for me in the t58
Probably because of that bug.
HESH works like HE unless it hits thick armor plate, then it just works like HESH.
So maybe the game checks: Can HE penetrate it? Work as HE. Otherwise work like HESH.
Hitting tracks will always cause it to work like HE and blow the tanks up from below.
yeah well aware of it
didn’t know it works THAT well, the 19 kilo giganuke hesh t58 has is so well suited for abusing this
HESH works like HE unless it hits thick armor plate, then it just works like HESH.
im not sure it even works that way
The penetration range of the HESHs explosive Action is much lower than HE.
The radar blocked the damage while the shells explosive action couldn’t penetrate the hull roof.
Thats just WT for you.
The vehicle would have been totally wrecked but it can just be repaired like nothing happened.
The dislikes on their video ironic.
The complete lack of self-awareness in the video title says it all really.
‘NOBODY uses this shell! Why not?’
Because you made it utterly crap, that’s why!
I’m assuming the 1.9K likes are from T-54/62 drivers who would very much like HESH to not be historically accurate…
If it were historically accurate, HESH merely impacting any vehicle without composite armor would overpressure it (at least in game terms if the HESH had more armor “penetration” on the statcard than the plate’s thickness).
90mm HESH, which ingame does fuck all to a T-54 of any variety, left real T-54 crews in Korea with exploded eardrums. Idk about you, but if I can’t hear what my comrades are saying, there’s no way I could do any job inside a tank…is that not a “knocked out” tank?
Pretty much this.
Although T-54 wasn’t in Korea. Were you thinking of NK T-34s?
