HESH and HE-VT rework

[Lucas Stocki]

HESH:hesh's main problem is certainly the uncertainty between the "overpressure" damage models and the standard HESH damage model, this problem tends to occur more frequently in tanks that have hesh ammunition with a high explosive charge, these being , fv4005, centurion AVRE, chieftein, I'm tired of throwing AVRE's HESH at t44 towers and simply just killing the loader or commander, there are 20kg's of TNT, any HE with 5kg of TNT would have blown the t44 into pieces, but the game chooses HESH's standard damage model instead of overpressure
HE-VT:Don't get me wrong, HE-VT's are incredible when it comes to demolishing planes, the problem is trying to use it to destroy lightly armored vehicles, about 2 years ago the HEVT only exploded when it was on the roof of the vehicle, the problem this caused the HEVT capable of destroying heavy tanks like the tiger, t34, t95, is2 without much effort, the problem is that currently it is almost useless, there was a light tank behind a small slope, when trying to destroy it in this way my HEVT would just explode close to the ground, and when I aimed high enough for the activation radius to not activate due to the proximity to the ground, the HEVT went over the enemy light tank and did not activate because it was too far away, I'm not asking for the HEVT to go back to what it used to be. , but it does not activate when approaching structures, so lightly armored vehicles will have to reposition themselves to avoid being killed, these changes only help tanks stay on top

would love for hesh to be a viable round again, but i dont think its gonna happen anytime soon

I heard rumours of gaijin experimenting with a keybind which turns off the proximity fuse of an HEVT so you can use it as a regular HE

hesh working properly would make bri'ish ground at 6.3 usable, so it cant be allowed

I agreed, I used to kill many tanks using the centurion AVRE who I paid 25 GJN''s, now its a 4/10 tank, some times the overpressure kill the enemy, but many times the standard damage model from the hesh just kill a few crew members, 20kg of tnt at front turret and not even a gun barrel destroyed?

thats quite good, I hope the HEVT stop explode just because a bush is closer than 3 meters from the shell

really? I just use hesh when I need to kill light vehicles, these days I was playing with chieftein, two situations there was a xm800 close by, so a loaded HESH, I shoted frontally, close to lower glacis, and the game really says "HIT" chieftein HESH has almost 7kg of TNT, another battle something similar happens, but this time I aimed for the turret, and again "HIT"
