How i'm supposed to use Heatfs of m46 effectively?

[Corinarh]

It can penetrate anything but damage is either super low or just critical it never 1hk tanks. It also cost so much that you will start losing money just by trying to kill enemies (which will 1hk your useless tank)

just shot 2 times at is-6, first was richochet 2nd was just hit, then he ran way, then i switched target to tiger and shot him 5 times just 2 critical shots and 3 hits but ofc not killed. then got one shotted by him. Total 14 hits and not single kill. What a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ joke of a tank.

heatfs and m46 are worthless unless you side shot tanks which will not happen on most maps in arcade mode

HEAT-FS is a completely different playstyle than conventional ammunition.

APCBC you aim to penetrate the tank, the damage does the rest.

HEAT-FS, don’t aim for where armour is weakest or whatever. 95% of the time, it’ll go though. Aim exclusively for “where you’ll do the most damage.”
Where ammo racks and crew are, and stuff. Don’t worry about the armour, the 320mm or so penetration will often take care of that.

Provided you don't hit a storage bin on the tank that just eats your round.

I've started hating Heat-FS in this game ever since I bought the RU 251, I've had more bounces with that round than I have with 'normal' rounds. Super gauling to watch a Heat-FS bounces off a BMP for it to just turn round and 1 shot you.

Kind of sounds like bad luck to me tbh, the BMP also is shooting HEAT at you as well. I personally don’t have that much of an issue with HEAT bouncing.

Just other day shot IS-6 with M46 HEAT-FS three times from front, two into upper glacis and one into lower glacis, all pens that hit into ammo racks as well.
Then he casually deleted my tank.
