HE Rounds
« on: August 16, 2006, 05:40:56 PM »
I wish that my HE rounds would not bounce of enemy GV's.  I can understand AP rounds being deflected, but HE rounds should detonate upon contact with a target.  IMO

I hate it when I am trying to de-track a Tiger and my HE rounds bounce off the Tiger unless I get a perfect hit on the track.  Think just a HE detonation on the surface would cause some damage, however minor.

I get the same effect when I use an LVTA4's 75mm HE rounds against a shore battery.  The rounds should explode on impact - not be deflected into the stratosphere.

I'd like to add whenever a tank is hit with a round they lose all sound for a short time..
Just think how deafening that must be.

it actually makes sense. That one guy in a tiger gets hit with 30 AP rounds should lose his hearing for like 15min :cool:

The real truth is you do not like the answer.

Spall....
« Reply #6 on: August 22, 2006, 04:57:14 PM »
Wonder if HT would allow the spalling of the inside armor??

BTW a "spall" is a flake of metal, in a armored vehicle this is usually generated when the outer armor plate is struck (usally from a HE round, but anything that hits the armor hard enough can generate spalling) and a piece of armor is "chipped" off.  

The really deadly part about all this is that this spall is traveling quite fast and there are lots of them made.  Anyone who has used one of those tall blenders has seen what fast moving metal pieces can do to soft things.

Thats why modern combat vehicles have a spall liner installed.  In the case of the M2 Bradley IFV it is a layer of reinforced kevlar plating bolted to the inside of the armor.

Just a thought anyway.
