IN A KV 1 Tank i hit the front of a half track german apc with 2he shells and 5 ap shells from the front before getting destroyed without doing any damage. Latter i got adynamite bundle next to it and blew it up. this must be the strongest half track in history to shrug of more damage then a Panzer 4.
That in any APC. You wont imagine how many 120mm shells some APCs can take.
But that is just how wierd APC damage models are setup and how confusing and inconsitant their destruction conditions are.

Classic WT thing.
No armor = best armor.
Because it won’t even trigger the explosive filler of your shell.
That would assume that normal HE would actually work but it also does not kill like it should.
So if your APHE explodes or not ultimately does not change much as all tanks sometimes struggle to kill APCs.
Even the 120mm ones because reasons…
But a half kilo TNT bundle nukes them from orbit somehow.
Idk, for me HEs usually works very well against APCs.
But I don’t have any recent experience with Chi Ha short. I wasn’t quite lucky with this vehicle back then. So I haven’t bothered to play it since then. Way too long reload time for how unreliable the tank was for me.
tbf, I swear the Chi Ha Short Gun has some bug going on with it, but in general.
Against APCs, an AP round to the engine block normally works for me, if its on fire thats gg.
If not, a HE round to the troop compartment weirdly enough seems to work, HE rounds elsewhere dont work as well.

Recently we forwarded that APC’s are still hard to destroy
