I mean like every thing that have explowsive power seems like a cracker. Have a sound but cant do any damage. TI think this is the reason why people spam smoke granade in normand

HE should be deadly and restricted in some other way, with amount or usage time, it’s just ridiculous to hit nearly direct hit and still do nothing.

HE rounds can now ricochet, so don’t aim at the ground of the angle is shallow or it will bounce
I keep thinking they silently Nerfed Aircraft Bombs as well, but yes in General, HE is pretty useless.
It’s also confusing as F%$&, that they call stuff TNT that was not TNT and HE stuff that was TNT, but TNT in game is a bit nuts because most stuff that was used during he war was not technically TNT.
For me, I think the ricochet angle is ridiculous, that said, I’ve had countless times where it is NOT bouncing, it goes off where I hit, but it only effects half or less of the nearby troops. HE definitely got nerfed hard.
Honestly I think its because so few people use smoke (actual smoke not phosphorus), and fortifications to help protect against shells, then turn around and complain that their infantry squads are getting decimated on their run to the objective.
While on the objective, its another issue, one that I again bring up: fortifications are too easy to break. Sandbag walls in windows should be holding out the HE shells, but they don’t generally, also because they get taken down by half a dozen other sources as well. So the objective just keeps getting slammed with hits with basically no defense against it.
