USING AN EXPLOIT TO ONE SHOT ANYTHING - Jumbo in War Thunder vs The World

If you're looking to get some GE or a Premium, please use a creators link to support then and get a free decal. Here's mine: store.gaijin.net/catalog.php?...
The Jumbo in War Thunder is a US Heavy Tank that has been moved so high up in battle rating it's basically unusable for newer players. Today, I decided to try a little exploit using HE High Explosive Shells to knock out ANY tank in the game with a simple trick.
Step 1: Shoot the enemy barrel out.
Step 2: HE shell the barrel where it meets the mantlet.
That's it. And... IT WORKS!
It's pretty weird that this happens but it's also VERY useful for when you come up against vehicles you cannot penetrate at all.

What lead to this problem, before the volumetric system. If your rounds hit the gaps between armour. The armour thickness will be zero. Obviously, war thunder misses fix that gap between the cannon barrel and the mantle with 75mm HE rounds.

This works because of how overpressure works It works by seeing of shrapnel from an HE round hits and damages an internal module, if you look at the kill cam, whenever Odd hits the mantlet, the breech turns yellow which is counted as an internal module. Overpressure is a great mechanic that is totally better than Hull-break

[@fire_drake12.arc.24]

honestly it is a bit better, Hull-Break was way worse. This will probably eventually be fixed, if not its an exploit that is pretty hard to re-create with vehicles youd actually want to abuse this with. Right not its the best we'll get to having useful HE until Gaijin makes non-russian HE, HESH, and HEAT shells actually work with their HE effect. Especially HE and HESH.

​@@_invencible_ Any BR that has HEF rounds no heat or hesh, at least from my testing all the way to 10.3 with the Bhishma

[@michaelvigil5321]

Thats only a thing for spall liners and fuel tanks. The barrel is still there and can still be hit. The problem is that all the tanks in the game have tiny armor gaps all over. Overpressure activates when an HE fragment hits an internal module, and the gunbreach counts as an internal module. The tiny gap between the armor and the gunbreach allows the fragments to hit it, activating overpressure and killing them. This is why overpressure gives such silly kills like a fragment from arty turning ur engine yellow but your entire crew dies, it only takes the 1 fragment to overpressure.

[@carlsjolund2379]

The interaction with the PT-76 was the most adorable thing ever!!! First the headpats and you driving off, only for them to then follow and help shoot at the TOG! That was just toooo cutie lol

[@ConeOfArc]

Gaijin never ceases to amaze us with how crap their ballistics systems are. Just love how their response to hullbreak being broken was to basically give every vehicle in the game a worse version of hullbreak

[@Rimmless]

I love your vids man keep it up 🤘🏽

[@michaelvigil5321]

Overpressure was a good idea but terrible execution, they just need to only overpressure on fragments hitting crew instead of any internal module.

[@spicygoomba4048]

My though for this is that he is setting off the charge for the shell since it's explosive

[@stephenallen4635]

​@@spicygoomba4048doesn't quite make sense

[@ConeOfArc]

@@spicygoomba4048 Most of the tanks would be loading either AP or APHE ammunition which would not have very much explosive filler inside it. Unless you plug the barrel that explosive force is going to take the path of least resistance which would be out the barrel. The breech is designed specifically to withstand explosions every time the tank fires a shell so it wouldn't magically explode just because the explosive was triggered

[@Chocolacchio]

This explains what happened in my last game. I got into a brawl with the king tiger, and in a split second, my heatfs shell killed the entire crew with a shot right on the barrel. But the replay showed an overpressure mechanic 😮

[@jimnycricket2322]

THIS EXPLAINS EVERYTHING that's been happening to me for about a month now. Nothing but barrel shots at me and I was trying to figure out why.

[@mikewazowski9941]

this also work for aphe especially from 90mm and above since there are more filler than them. you can actually kill the maus with the m82 shell by shooting the barrel near the turret (one shot using any thing at bigger caliber like the soviet 122mm). I suspect that the shell penetrate the barrel and the HE filler explode inside the barrel nuking the crew.

[@hoshyro]

Yeah, it seems like the shell explodes against the breech and damages it, being an internal module, the game thinks the explosion broke the armour and counts it as overpressure

[@caralho5237]

[@commisaryarreck3974]

[@galacticdragon9841]

there is also a glitch with heat shells that allows you to perform this with one shot instead of two, I don’t know how how to replicate it though as it has only happened for me once.

[@RKNGL]

This explains how I died in my Ferdinand in my last match. A bunch of tanks with no hope of killing me, then boom out of nowhere from a frontal hit.

[@davidoiu562]

Aww, that pt76 interaction was so cute

[@danepolchin7034]

I discovered this a while back using the Bkan 1c in a custom game against an Abrams, we were seeing where I could pen and I accidentally hit around the midpoint in the barrel after taking it out with another shell. It overpressured the tank and made no sense, but we didn't try it with any other tanks, just the Abrams vs. Bkan. This is absolutely hilarious to see on a Jumbo, though xD

[@kaypeezee]

so this potentially means this has been in the game for a good damn while, depending on how long ago your bkan test thing was great job gaijin!!!

[@Pengothing]

This explains some of my bkan and vidar kills as well. I just thought the shot on the barrel somehow penned the driver’s hatch.

[@elitely6748]

Always great when Odd uploads, this is such a gremlin goblin like exploit and I love it lmao!

[@laberdude]

seems that if the barrel is out, there is a gap in the armor at this moment and the overpressure works at this point

[@xAndrzej42]

This happened to me so many times last 2 days. It was unreal to get rekt by HE exploding on maus barrel

[@CyberneticArgumentCreator]

Dammit. I knew this fun secret wouldn't last forever. This has happened since the overpressure modeling change where it checks if an internal component is damaged and at some threshold it considers the explosion now inside the tank as well or something. If you can figure out a way to make HE initial damage model hit certain objects that are considered 'inside' the tank, then the explosion propagates damage inside the tank as well.

[@kirishima638]

Pretty sure this is a bug, introduced when they changed the armor model to ignore ‘destroyed’ modules. This was to fix fuel tanks and engines tanking shot after shot but in a typical Gaijin monkey-paw half arsed fix, it made it so that HE detonating against a ‘destroyed’ model would overpressure the crew, as if the vehicle was open topped. Let’s see how long it takes them to patch it, and introduce and even worse issue.

[@LothricPaladin]

Nooooo!!! You saw that post too.

[@ZSTYseamuffin]

First they gotta fix a sound bug nobody noticed instead of a game-breaking bug💀

[@petzipetz]

saw something similar in another video. I believe the mechanic behind this is a false valuation in the code of the game, where it senses you shot a weakly armored part and because of that completly ignores the type of vehicle and just overpressures. You should try it with tracks maybe too, if the HE shell has more pen, it could work.

[@FokkerBoombass]

oh god what have you DONE

[@princesspupcake1269]

There must be a nano-meter sized hole between the mantlet and the damaged gun model that lets it overpressure ANY tank, kinda like the hole the IS2 had in its UFP.
