HE grenade in tanks

Suggestions
1

Hello @all,

atm i think the HE shells on tank are a bit too weak regarding the splash radius they have.
i had multiple situations in which i knew where an anti tank squad is sitting and instead of killing them with a well placed HE shot i hit nothing. Even after firing 3 more rounds in the window.
maybe make it more dangerous when u see a gun barrel turning towards you from a tank.
And directly in the beginning before people are saying: that would be too strong. No! It isnt. Take a look on the game Squad. Tanks are not overpowered. The tank squad needs to work extremely well together otherwise the tank is dead in less then 3 minutes.

Whats your thoughts about it?

I think the word for grenade is the same as the word for shells in some languages, so with context it definitely means HE shells.

I think 45mm HE is about right, but everything else is weak, maybe as intended.

About the other thing, you can give an user a mention in any thread you want by typing their user code:

But imagine you could give every user a notification with an @all xD

Overall, I think HE shells could get a pretty big buff.

You are right about the 45mm HE shell, but even a 37mm canon, deals a shit ton of damage in an area around 2-3 meters. I saw such guns shooting irl, and it was devastating.

Thats what i think as well. I mean, i dont want a tank which is shooting mini nukes, but the TNT equivalent is big enough even on the small calibres to kill a camping squad hiding in a small room.

HE is getting another pass from the war thunder side to make pressure deadlier but I don’t know how much it’s going to affect anti-infantry in enlisted.

It just sounds like using HEAT or hitting a tank with a big HE shell will be more lethal.
So PIATs, Bazookas, Sturmpistoles, and Panzerfaust will get more consistent damage.

The whole point of having HE shells loaded in a tank was and still is nowadays to fight infantry. And with the HE on those tanks which we have here, i rather get out of the tank shooting my pistol :smiley:

Also its nice to have (working) HE so you can support other friendly infantry units in case they get under heavy fire…

Well, good that we have “PIATs, Bazookas, Sturmpistoles, and Panzerfaust”, but the tanks needs also fire power. A tank purpose is also to scare enemy units. And atm most of the time i push with friendlies or my mate, we get obliterated from anti tank squads, and not a big chance to counter that…

HE shells actually has 0 impact in the game, fired 1 shell 1 mter away from enemy infantry, not even touched him…

Tank atm are so weak, with no HE impact, 1 guy with explosive pack can rush and destroy all ur tank ez

I mean if you camp and never move than you’ll fall prey to explosive packs.
