Valcour 1,141 Report post Posted May 7, 2023 Can anyone think of why a Tiger H1 can take a 152mm APHE shell to the LFP and incur no damage? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpankdaMonkey 708 Report post Posted May 8, 2023 The H1 in an interesting machine and the RNG decides things not the spec sheets. I'm currently loving my Tiger H1, named it Carnage, some games it's an unstoppable murder machine and bounces 152 shells head one, the next a T-34-57 one shots it from halfway across the map, go figure. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can replace the vehicle names by anything at similar BRs and the phrase would still be probably true...RNG and luck (or lack of it) happen every match...and they work both ways Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to hit the Turret front, so the HE's burst can go through the hull's roof. If you hit just the front plate, there is a great possibility that the blast finds no plate thin enough to go into the tank. Same with many turretless tanks that just have a single thick front plate. The blastwave's vectors spread like a star after impact. It can't go around a corner to hit an vulnerable spot, so you have to aim with HE too and not just lob it onto the enemy. But the rules for what is a weakspot are totally different for HE than it is for kinetic projectiles like AP.

APHE not HE - I think it should have enough penetration to go through a LFP at reasonable angles. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overread the APHE. But no. Those barely scratch 80mm penetration and as such aren't able to penetrate a Tiger. The lower front plate is 100mm. If they can't penetrate the tank, they work exactly like HE. Edited May 10, 2023 by KillstealBot1000 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

APHE would be SU and ISU-152 - 170mm at 10m 0 degrees, and still 136 at 2000m 0 degrees, also 136mm at 500m at 30 degrees.... unless he's using it as lazy shorthand for hte anti-concrete shell of the KV-2, which is more properly SAPCBC 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
