High Explosive Squash Head (HESH)

Christian360 · Post by **Christian360** » Wed Apr 19, 2017 8:24 am

A type of ammunition that can be researched through the tank factory. It will improve the effectiveness against enemy tanks and structures moderately. It will slightly improve the tank's effectiveness against infantry or soft targets.

I hope this kind of tech will be approved for the Dev

Also check out topic "New Aircraft" in the Vehicles section for AoWW

Explosive shells should make the tanks deal 50% more damage to infantry and buildings.

Are tech's image still the same size or do they need 64x64 as well?

Dont forget lightly armored tanks, or the ones without protection from spalling.

An AP shell would deal more damage to a lightly armored vehicle. AP shells are designed to penetrate tanks and vehicles in generals. HE shells in the other hand are designed to kill infantry.

It's not HE, it's HESH.
HESH rounds were purposes as anti-tank, but can be used as a multipurpose as it is 90% as effective on infantry as an HE shell, but considerably better when dealing with Bunkers and buildings.

HE shells are also effective at destroying buildings

I think we are talking about the same thing

Post by **Puss_in_Boots** » Fri Sep 01, 2017 3:33 pm

We might just make HEAT shells to counter tanks then.

Prof_GamerARCHIVED · Post by **Prof_GamerARCHIVED** » Fri Sep 01, 2017 3:41 pm

I think we should just leave things the way they are.

We need this

Made Icon

Stats:

Researched at: TC
Gem Cost: 5

Prof_GamerARCHIVED · Post by **Prof_GamerARCHIVED** » Sat Nov 11, 2017 9:04 am

Okay, but these shells arent effective at countering other tanks.

LordOfAles · Post by **LordOfAles** » Sat Nov 11, 2017 9:07 am

Then maybe just infantry should get bonus against buildings? OR both infantry and tanks?

Prof_GamerARCHIVED · Post by **Prof_GamerARCHIVED** » Sat Nov 11, 2017 9:09 am

HE shells are only used by tanks XD

Prof_GamerARCHIVED · Post by **Prof_GamerARCHIVED** » Sat Nov 11, 2017 9:12 am

If this tech is added, tanks should get the followinv bonuses:

Structures: +100%
Infantry: +100%
Tanks: -60%

LordOfAles · Post by **LordOfAles** » Sat Nov 11, 2017 9:12 am

You sure about lowering the effectivity of tanks? How about staying the same?

Prof_GamerARCHIVED · Post by **Prof_GamerARCHIVED** » Sat Nov 11, 2017 9:13 am

That would be unrealistic.

Prof_GamerARCHIVED · Post by **Prof_GamerARCHIVED** » Sat Nov 11, 2017 9:15 am

And yes they arent effective against tanks, otherwise normal AP shells would have been replaced by HE shells a long time ago.

LordOfAles · Post by **LordOfAles** » Sat Nov 11, 2017 9:16 am

Ok then, i say this is ready!

LordOfAles · Post by **LordOfAles** » Sat Nov 11, 2017 9:18 am

Updated the stats post

samuelch · Post by **samuelch** » Sun Nov 12, 2017 10:36 am

Maybe an ability to change Ap and Hesh shells.

Prof_GamerARCHIVED · Post by **Prof_GamerARCHIVED** » Sun Nov 12, 2017 1:28 pm

That would be cool.

I thought I suggested this before...

Must've thought it was too complex, but now I think it is better to be able to chose the effectiveness or bonuses of the tank you're controlling.
