HOW to use HE

[@ominous_plays]

I really liked that you pointed out that HE will splash more damage if shot under a tank, a lot of the time shooting under a tank can double the damage you would get from just splashing the hull. Very nicely done.. 👌 👍 😀

[@Sammyboiiii]

Honestly HE is kinda getting Soft-Nerfed with so many tanks with Spall Liners now, Since HE deals less dmg than AP on Spall liners.

[@wertbe1718]

I don't think it always does less.

[@FEUER_TV]

Spall liner reduces 20%. You need a tank, where the HE damgage is more than 20% higher than the AP, then it still does more dmg

[@Sammyboiiii]

@@wertbe1718 Not always especially on High Caliber guns, but guns like 215b Hesh deal like 420 - 440 on Spall

[@SenorTroy01]

I would still use it anyways since you can damage more modules at once

[@-Sir_eli-]

Still does module and crew damage

[@TheVargas777]

I just want to say Thanks... My game has improved so much after following you. My average damage moved from 685 and a bronze rating. to 1105 with a silver rating in only about 10 weeks. Really appreciate it.

[@duffyfive0632]

Thank you for taking the time to educate all of us on how to be better at the game!

[@shadow_entity9191]

RNG is a huge factor as well. Once I was in a battle with my SU-152 against tier VIII tanks... Towards the end we were losing badly with a Tiger II charging me. I just loaded up HE to at least do some damage before I die basically turning in a bird's-eye view and hitting him for 998... I had to watch that moment 3 times and had to look at the Tiger IIs armor profile on Blitzhangar to find out what happened... There's only one little spot on the Tiger IIs front that you can pen with high caliber HE... The gap on top of the front plate where the drivers vision ports are...

[@StirlingGal]

Did that once with a KV2

[@pigscanflyhigh8464]

Nice video. You should use HE with small caliber guns even more than large ones. With small caliber guns you are not trying to do damage you are "cooking" "preparing" your target even if you(or your team) are not planning to directly attack it just yet. (aim for tracks, trackwheels, commanders hatches. What you are doing is creating some kind of disadvantage for your enemy - it could be damaged exterior modules, lost repair kits, forcing out of position. etc. It all ads up specially against good players in high ranked games.

[@simonporter8372]

Agree especially when you're lower tier. If you have TD"s that are top tier you can help a lot by spotting targets for them, destroying their tracks so sitting ducks. And/or making them move out of cover.

[@Killer128_TF]

How could I have missed this technique, I have never tried just hitting the ground underneath the tanks, something for sure I will try from now on. thanks!!!

[@guestguest9]

thank you meadsy for actually making a vid like this! If you could, could you cover topics like AP vs APCR vs HEAT and things like what ground resistance with tank tracks actually means? Just things like that that some people who are looking to really know these small details to maximise performance. Thanks!

[@wernherlehanie7313]

Watched this so many times now and still I cannot get the high damage with these shells. Even when it shows it will penetrate I still get less than 100 damage.

[@josephwhite7952]

I've just watch this video. And yes the HE shell works extremely well. I tried the HE shell with my M60 on any gray area with excellent results. Thanks for the video

[@olsnaggletooth5188]

Great useful video thanks meadsy kinda wished u’d gone it to aiming and sweet spots to shoot, I seem to struggle and have failed shots quite often which puts me off using he, would of loved to see you aiming at a waffle or a scorpion! With ap it’s easy if it’s red you won’t pen! With he the enemy tank is yellow does it pen the yellow bits or just splash?

[@lemansboi7681]

With He or hesh the yellow bits on the armour will only generate splash damage. Aim for the parts of the armour without red on it to maximise damage, similar to solid shot and heat.

[@sunsys6330]

yellow only splash tho, no color is a full pen (full damage)

[@jakobisahero]

Thanks man. Useful as always (I’m running at 70+ % wr last 30 days, and still useful to me). Keep it up!

[@numbfinger7137]

Once a time i can't see the tank because it was behind destroyed tank, i choose HE to splash it from the wall behind the enemy and it works, i won the game. :D

[@timonsolus]

Good video. The only thing you missed out was finishing off very low health, well armoured tanks with HE - because it's better to shoot HE for a guaranteed HE splash damage kill, than to shoot AP or APCR and risk wasting time with a bounced shot.

[@brainlesstoaster]

it dont matter what shell i fire my rng is so bad the bullet either hits the dirt for no reason when fully aimed or when its an obvious spot for pen it goes somewhere it cant pen anyway or just completely out of the reticle

[@8772884]

Very Very valid point about HE

[@fakhrymuhammad4612]

"How to use HE" Every 152 mm enjoyer: if i see that thing is not orange, it's mean i can shoot it

Thank you very much your HE advise....i am a new player, your video really help me a lot. Wish u have a nive day

[@thejacal2704]

Hi Meadsy, love your vids! Could you do a video about using the "lookout area" please? It really annoys me when people clearly don't have it activated and sit there like a pillbox, then we lose. Thanks, keep up the good work.

[@adishoogendorp4194]

What is lookout area?

[@thejacal2704]

@@adishoogendorp4194 It's in the settings menu. It allows you to look around without having to turn your turret.

[@epicgamerchannel6230]

I mean, it's handy but it doesn't really warrant a video. It's pretty self-explanatory. Turn it on, look around using that so you don't need to turn your turret. Isn't a necessity imo, but it can be handy for turretless tds so they don't end up turning their tank

[@thejacal2704]

@@epicgamerchannel6230 You're right, it is self explanatory, the game even tells you about it, even so, many players don't seem to use it. Try playing a tank with slow turret traverse without using lookout, its terrible.

[@reaperbear1]

Always learning something new from you brother, much appreciated. Gg

[@pzafeerhoq7789]

I use he all the time, it's just so useful, especially splashing he on low hp tanks

[@mechmancannon]

Happy made a video on HE. Shooting the bottom of a turret splashes more damage than shooting the top of a turret. Maybe that is not for all tanks.

[@BillCipher_OG]

Well if there is a slope right away at the front of the turret then it won't be effective much (ex. IS-7) but if there is the top of the hull right in front of the turret (ex. E-100) then it will be less effective.

[@damnitman3170]

Meadsy69 always looking for new ways to make Fizzy suffer lol 😂

[@godE25]

I still remember when i started, i though i had to shoot yellow areas, xD

[@heymanchan9007]

Impressive explanations

[@gostavoxcvoh]

Now, If your fighting a heavy target (EX = Maus / IS's) and you only see red with your HE - HESH Then shoot under / Turret ring and it will most likely do 100-300 Damage. If you cant see the hull then shoot the under side of the turret (100-250 Damage) That's how i do it in 9.1. And NEVER shoot the upper side of the hull / turret, RED AREA'S, A tank's mantlet (Even if it's yellow. But on medium's and light's. It's ok). Most of all. You can shoot the under side of the hull (Under the ground of the tank). If you are a 152MM+ Gun then you can be able to do mostley 90-500+ Damage (Light / Medium tank's can go up to 100-670+ to my understanding).Track's are a easy target BUT dont be fooled as heavy and medium have STRONG / MEDIUM Track's so shoot the little gad between the hull and track and you can do a 50-290+ Damage and maybe a tracking shot. But it may be wrong.

[@connorsmith2121]

I once shot HE under a train car to kill an LTTB in an ISU-152. It somehow resulted in a 2700 damage ace

[@ancientwarrior3482]

If you see a hull down or sidescraping tank, just spam them with HE, it makes them mad quite often.

[@barrel9361]

Nice video man. I user td and idk that. Now i will try it get more damage and more xp

[@joesharman9060]

Thanks, Darren!

[@goodplbad]

My favourite, when enemy is on very low HP, then HE is selected automatically lol

[@chocolate_studiogmz1727]

i have 1 more way to use he if you gonna shoot very low hp tank and there are another tank stick with him, try to shoot where he can splash and deal damage to both of the tank

[@BillCipher_OG]

I got a double kill with my KV-2 like that.

[@elmoelms2743]

Excellent tutorial meadsy, any chance you could go down the tiers though

[@randomuserrr918]

When i was in my Kv2 I in one battle was just shooting HE at a hulldown T29 hatch dealing 300-400 dmg, his reaction was so fun 🤣

[@UnknownFigure556]

You can shot on the roof of the turret and the haul, its will be the same as shoting under the tank

[@ashleybevis9769]

Awesome really wanted this video, thank you so much, I shall now conquer 😝 👍

[@johnshore3095]

Did 1532 HP with one shot HESH in a 183 😁 that is addictive. Not strictly HE but the HESH in the T49 is fun too.. 800+ if pens 3-500 splash damage if it doesn't 😁

[@Bryan-yq9pz]

Haha, for the longest I thought you were saying Hi-Chee. I was looking all over thinking to myself where is this ammo, he uses. lol

[@aljosaraketic8258]

Yesterday I researched Conqueror (tier 9)and dude, his HE pen. is so good and easy to pull off. I might stay on tier 9 for a while 😄 definitly my best sugestion for beguiners. Mediums,lights and paper armor destroyers will run from you like devil is chasing them,try it 😂

[@BillCipher_OG]

FV215b still has tons of HE pen still right? I think it has like 120mm and the British tanks have tons of HE pen.

[@aljosaraketic8258]

@@BillCipher_OG yeah it does but its way more fun going against tier 8 with that HE pen. Other british tans have lower pen,even the death star has lower,like 90 or somthing.

[@grandmastersidd3839]

I hate being hull down in an STB 1 and getting HE splashed.

[@kaoskom]

You forgot to mention the situation where a mobile lightly armored tank with low hp is waiting around a corner with low hp, waiting to derp you in a 1 vs 1. Most people doesnt know you can also kill them shooting the ground without even having them on your line of sight...

[@kaoskom]

I mean like you often see at the end of the gane, when the last red is a grille or a light tank and they are trying to bait a shot or outmanouver you, and being very close to a building corner or just hiding until the time or base cap runs out...

[@ERIKNOWAKK]

i recomend to use HE when tanks are low hp and you dont want to risk bounce

[@lioneltaylor9573]

I've got terrible luck with HE and not for a lack of trying. I really want to utilise it but I always get low rolls. I'm not an expert, above 50% at least but I just can't get it to work. I'd be behind a medium with my heavy and still I get a low roll.

Should i go for the e100 or the is-4 first (i have tiger II and kv-4)

[@yashu2043]

Both of them have different play styles mate. You better consider if you would sacrifice armor or mobility.

[@Crabe__]

I drop Amx30b in a crate, I can sell it for 7500 gold, i buy M4A1 Rev or I keep 30b

[@freshpack8928]

Don’t use HE unless it’s a guaranteed pen. If you average out the damage when it doesn’t pen you will find you were better off using standard shells.

[@danieldore7800]

the idea is the enemy is in a position where you cant pen with standard ammo

Noob kid who just wants to do 'some' damage to the reds every shot. Doesn't care how much, just doing 'some' (actually, 'a little') is enough to satisfy him. He stopped using AP because he had a few shots bounce and now he's given up on AP.

Well i only use H,E on tanks that doesn't have much armour for example. Leopard 1 and Grille 15 or sheridan Based on my experience HE is pretty useful in most cases just like what you said in video Indeed if your lucky enough you can trigger an ammo-rack [Edit] - also if i ran out of Premium shells to pen heavy armoured tank i use H,E because the hull roof only has 60-80mm of armour which us enough for H,E shell to damage and dealt decent or insane damage amount - i still remember the day where i accidentally a mmo-rack IS-4 with H,E shell at early game which lead me get accused by enemy team that i was hackinf
