Alright well, as it is now it pretty much just makes my tanks be able to always hit an infantry man and kill it but i believe HE rounds should be increased splash and accuracy, not damage and accuracy because these are High Explosive rounds they should be able to take out several infantry at a time.. to clean this up I say

HE Rounds:

-Increased Splash
-Increased Accuracy
-Only Available for purchase on pershings and shermans because these would be to powerful for light vehicles.


Please read and discuss, thank you.

Actually I haven't got to test that mysthalin but thats not the point, they are High explosive rounds for a reason, to kill several infantry at a time, not to increasee my damage so I can one shot a puma..

You see, the pershing has wide enough splash as it is, if it were increased further - it'd just one shot entire blobs. With this, the long-range splash of the pershing will do enough damage to kill infantry caught in it, and the accuracy will mean you will always hit said infantry, making it quite perfectly balanced. It also lets your pershing utterly rape light vehicles, which makes it a pretty decent T4.

So it's just my, deadbolt's and nijo's pershings that take out 3 grens with each of their shots.
I feel... special.

After using them for 2 years I have to say they average 2 mans per shot. ZEAL kinda contributes to the number becoming 1.5

How about an accuracy nerf with a splash radius increase. Like accuracy -25% splash +25% +25% damage so that it's not used against light vehicles as much and gets used for its intended purpose, taking out infantry. and with the accuracy, it'll be random if it actually hits infantry but if its close it'll still at least damage much like the IST.

Dafuq man, don't ask for proof if you'll refuse it if it's not in your favor, logic fallacy for the bloody win.

With reduced accuracy, it would be absolutely worthless, no matter the range.

I'd imagine HE rounds would do severe damage to any light vehicle whose paper-thin armour can't deflect it :O

If anyone has actually USED HE rounds. You would notice if you used it on T17s and M8s it doesn't work. The .3 penetration makes it so that its shots deflect off Infantry.

If its used on tanks then tanks wont penetrate things like AT guns and Nebels. Also all tanks using HE rounds wont penetrate Snipers.

 I'd suggest sending one of them a very polite PM, or asking very kindly in vent when they aren't too busy.
