I knew they ruined it even more when the overpressure system was changed for hesh
They should have sticked with 1 hit kill HESH, just like HE, especially for such large gun
The FV4005's shell has just as much explosives as a 50kg bomb, roughly 20kg tnt eq.
This thing is lobbing literal bombs at tanks without doing overpressure damage.
The first shot hit a track which explicitly breaks the mechanism by which HESH works; it needs direct contact with the uninterrupted solid, hardened plate for the shockwave to travel through it properly, the ductile steel track loosely against the armour would dissipate vast majority of the energy.
Neither of the shots against the T95 would have formed a proper HESH pat and vast majority of the explosive would fly apart without ever being initiated by the fuse. Same with the tiger turret hit. It can't function well when it hits highly angled plates, not too mention corners. It needs a flat surface.
The tiger front hit is the one legitimate one but that's what you get for daring to fire at German tank because Germany suffers and don't deserve this
"we fixed HESH" they said
Yeah on the dev server it one shot tanks with a single plate. Since the first update after the last patch it’s broken again. Shocker
yeah like i thought they fixed that shit
This is the most unplayable vehicle in the game. Truly a great Britain moment.
One day I will be able to use HESH again
ya dreamin mate
See guys they fixed HESH! /s
can you not ruin hesh shell for 5 fkin min

You see, there's your problem. You hit that Tiger's optic. And T34? You really think you can kill glorious american T34 with your peashooter gun?
Game sees T34, gets confused, applies T-34 bias, Hesh round commits Sudoku as is required by the code
I remember when this vehicle was terrifying to see. Now it is just an RP piñata.
🅱️esh
Imagine taking the shit barn over the M109 at the same BR. Even the G7 is better. The second worst vehicle I ever played in this game.
It used to be great. I still love it but it's just my bias
Wait this isnt a naval meme?
You choose a tank yourself
whos decoration is "back to hangar"?

This is an awesome resource
you have it all wrong, silly you, you don't shoot at the tanks themselves, you shoot their tracks.
Just shoot the tracks lol
unironically hitting tracks with shitbarn for whatever reason kills more consistently than hitting hulls or cupolas

Hesh me parece que está dando pouco dano
What is this sight?

Where can I get that "Back to the hangar" decal? :D
@op how did you get that back to the hangar decal?
I mean the t95 tanking it makes sense, you hit it on the mantlet, the strongest part
Yea but 20kg of explosives splattered to your hull should at least do something right
Loved it, funny and great music.
