dont now if its a bug
but you cann shoot ammunition from tanks 2 to 5 times and the dont explode i shot a BA11 with the Panzer 3 like 2 times from the side it went Throw the ammo and exploded in the crew compartment Killing the crew(driver Still alive) and Not Ammo cooking it off then i tried it again and again only on the 3 times the tank exploded

and HE rounds dosent realy do anything right now you need to shoot them under the feet to kill for the BA11 and PZ3 even if you shoot inside the buildings and the all crowed up in one stop either it dosent make damage or just Hit markers

thats the only big problem i found

I believe that the HE rounds are more focused on anti-infantry gameplay.

He mean the HE explosion is too weak even agaisnt infantry.
Its better than the previous playtest (t-34-85 couldn’t kill with HE as i tried exept on direct hit, aphe was better for splash damage).

Now the HE seems to work but its true that it feel weak. But balance wise i’m not sure if we really need better HE on tank.

HE has pretty much no use right now. The explosion radius is the same as AP so you should just rely on your MG for anti-infantry.

HE is unreliable as it explodes on some surfaces and acts like AP when hitting others.

6

yeah HE are really weak to the point of being completely useless right now, its better to just use AP instead, i wish they fix this

HE is not really useless, you just have to hit pretty close, and it’s to be expected from these small caliber cannons, and you can destroy infantry’s day when you learn how to use it correctly

You can mow down infantry faster with your MG, I personally think the damage radius of HE should be the same in meters as the diameter of the gun in centimeters, so for example the pz3 with its 3.7cm gun would have a 3.7m damage radius. In that radius, infantry should at least start bleeding when hit

Bleeding or at least having a bit of shellshock. I just can’t wait to play KV-2 or Sturmpanzer just to delete a quarter of the map in one shot.

I think its a bug when even a direct hit with HE doesnt kill someone

11

indeed. HE have no use right now.
i even had direct hits and no kill with it.

HE need more damage around the explosion once it hits any type of terrain.

I hold off my judgement of how HE does until we get tanks with bigger guns, and there for better HE, as I’m pretty sure that the 45mm and 37mm irl didn’t have all that good HE (37mm didn’t, as it was made to be used against other tanks)

HE on panther and t34 85 was weak aswell back on berlin test. Lets hope KV2’s HE shell is not going to feel like paintball

14

HE on the 45mm is weak and even weaker on the 37mm but T-34-85’s one where broken, it couldn’t not damage unless you made a direct hit, even APHE did splash damage, idk about the panther tho.

the 45mm HE does feel much more powerfull than the 37mm. Sometimes my entire squad dies to one HE shell from a BA-11, but I never managed to get more than 1 kill (by direct hit!) from a 37mm HE shell. Heck the 37mm APHE shell doesnt even kill a soldier in one hit most of the time.
