Proxy HE broken?
Since this last update proxy shells seem to be exploding way off target (using the type 75 AUF 1 and Bkan, anyone else noticed this or can confirm this?

You weren't just playing a match in Abandoned Factory before making this post were you? I was just in an M56, and I'm sure I got hit 2 or 3 times from a Type 75 and it did no damage at all... to a Scorpion, with all my crew sat in the open XD

Not too sure I was shooting a open top thought it was a asu xD

from my experience with type 75 its exploding earlier if the enemy has its barrel facing your direction and since its a niche vehicle i dont see they looking into it anytime soon specialy with the void shell (ghost shell on steroids) happening so often now

Oh I know about the barrel hits with the proxy rounds hate it when it happens xD, I've got over 1k kills using the type 75 love the vehicle, shame there is no way to post clips on here,

Also it's made proxy rounds super Op against planes as they detonate further away instead of the 3m as shown in the stat cards

You can post clips, the real question is will it get taken down for being off-topic or whatever.

https://imgur.com/a/IorXWRS here we go (sorry for the quality it's the best the site could do) The tank is around 550m away enough for the proxy to arm, I aimed around 600m so I should go off just above the tank, destroying it. But as you can see the round explodes way before, not even making it to the tank

Also proof of how much I use these rounds and tanks https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/2054251924519756842/0CCD1449D853D4FFAE06B12D3F9193C9303C65DB/?imw=5000&imh=5000&ima=fit&impolicy=Letterbox&imcolor=%23000000&letterbox=false

i totally agree with you, since last update it's really hard to kill a tank with proxy fuse with my 2S3M, vs plane it's still really ok to kill them but i don't know why it looks like shell explode 10/15m away from tank

They are completely broken, HE-VT & Smoke shells as well as some HE shells have a 60-70% fail rate.

agreed.... 2S3M was really nice before the La Royale update then it turned into crap, fuze exploding and just damaging the barrel or tracks. Switched over to Su-100P and happy since that...
