Like, you should be mounting anime females rather than machinery at the very least. All this talk of penetrators and ♥♥♥♥, like wtf? You should be doing the penetration, not being penetrated.

For the record, it isn’t just machinery, it is Russian artillery if you look closer.

Also, my artillery does do the penetrating.
Meanwhile, anime profile pics don’t help with penetration, against RHA or other.

In mother Russia, you penetrate artillery

Why do you load high explosive in a game with no infantry, my friend?

1. Realistic, what is this, WoT?
2. Useful against SPAA and aircraft, and light tanks depending on caliber.
3. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=AOW2fpYmC28

The only reason Russian HE behaves like that is to give them meme ammunition. Hesh is essentially the same concept except for the metal plate it uses to crush the armor of the tank.

But War Thunder thinks radial explosions are more effective than pinpoint pressure.

I'm not saying HE should be useless, but realistically it should only risk minor damage to crew (assuming fragments penetrated, of which they'd be slowed considerably if they did) and damage to external components like barrels and tracks.

Ingame it can visibly penetrate composite armor with fragments if it hits a non-composite part of the tank, which even you should agree is ridiculous.

HESH rounds have a plastic explosive warhead which is "squashed" when it hits armour, spreading it out over the surface of the armour. It is then detonated by the fuse, sending the force of the explosion into the armour and causing spalling of the armour on the internal face.

The spall is normally a disk of metal from the internal armour face that ricochets around the interior of the tank

Yeah, my bad; I know how it works but I get mixed up with other crap half the time.

Regardless HESH shouldn't just be a discount HE in War Thunder, especially when HESH shells use similar quantities of explosive; oftentimes more than your average HE Frag shell.

Who cares, why even add DU rounds, without modeling the penetration effects?

So the humans that pay megamillions to obtain the ultimate vehicles can be proud of saying they fire the supreme ultimoammunition.

Well funny, German players will be very disappointed, because Germany doesn't use DU.

they still have some of the best rounds in reality, and lead the world in the actual gun design (with everyone purchasing patents left right and center for all their ♥♥♥♥)

I mean, DU is great, but that doesn’t mean tungsten is bad. For example, the 1983 soviet 3BM26 (totally in date for the T-64B and T-80B to be used, but that would be giving a tank realistic ammunition rank 5-6, we can’t do that! -Gaijin) as a variety of estimates, but almost all of them are well over 400mm at 1000m, with the higher end ones saying it penetrates 100mm more armour at 1000m than the best shell in the game currently at 10m.

The penetration isn't what people talk about being so much better on with DU, its the post pen.

If modeled right, we have some DU rounds but there is no post penetration differences.

pretty sure it's pyrophoric but not much different otherwise (it likes to catch fire)
