Tank HE rounds.
« on: May 03, 2016, 09:07:39 AM »
I have a question on the tank HE rounds. Will they finally explode when they hit an object? What I am talking mostly about is when your see a group of troops running for the map room and you fire an HE round at them and it lands, say 10 yards away from them and explodes and takes out some, it not all of the troops. Not act like a AP round and do nothing unless your hit one of the troops to kill one.

 That also brings up another point. When an HE round is fired and hits an object. It would be nice to see an explosion, not a hit that looks just like an AP round hitting. Yes I know that you can fire less HE rounds at a build and it takes it out compared to the AP round. I just saying I would like to see explosions and see bits and pieces of the building going every which way. I have seen many a 105mm HEAT, HEP (HEAT: High Explosive Anti-Tank & HEP: High Explosive Plastic) and 120mm HEAT rounds explode and it does look awesome seeing bits and pieces flying off of the target.

This would be nice in the new AH III, There is my 2 cents, or did I put in 3 cents worth.
What do you all think about this?

Are you seeing no explosions when HE rounds hit buildings? I see a large blossom of flame and smoke. True , there are no bits and pieces flying around and there is no apparent damage until the final round destroys the structure. what I especially like is the delayed explosion sound in AH3when shelling from a distance.
