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.

[@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]

[@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 😮

[@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

[@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.

[@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.

[@Mrskydoesminecraft1]

This still works 6 months later, too, and it’s not just jumbo Shermans that can do it, any tank that can fire the M48 HE round can do this and so far only one tank type I’ve tested has resisted it, the Panzer 4 short 75s

[@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

[@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.

Just to note, this doesn’t just work with the 75 jumbo, it works with any tank capable of firing that specific HE shell, including other Shermans and even the Churchill VII and Churchill Crocodile.

[@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!!!

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.

As always, you make it look so easy with 75 jumbo. For my self, 76 jumbo is much more enjoyable. Even if armor is not that effective at 6.3 as it is in 5.7. 76mm just feels so much better.

Good job Gaijin... - Then again, how long for ghost shells to be fixed ? - How long has active scouting been unreliably broken ? (scout thru rocks and houses but goes on cooldown on a fully visible tank stopped in the middle of your binos ?) - 11.3+ BR in itself can be considered broken I guess xD - Oh and while you can exploit HE shells, a 500+ pen long rod that bounces off an upper plate suddenly can't seem to be able to pen a 30mm thick turret right after it *cough* TAM 2IP *cough* - "The Volumetric Shells Bermuda Triangle" that makes APHE vanish on some complicated mantlet designs ? - etc.

[@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.

[@sugar-lx1jz]

This seems to also happent to HEAT or HEAT-FS. I did kill a panther while hitting his barrel directly(only fired 1 shot)

Hey Odd, I tried this Idea with both the TOW & the HOT as well as the Automaticrocketpzr with it being 3 out of 10 on T-52,55 & 10 model of Russian tanks. the Missiles were less effective than the RPGs. They were 6 out of 10 on average.

Nordern put up his 18th video of "War Thunder Antics" where he suffered some major Russian Bias. One of his friends (Moti I believe) had already killed a KA-50, with it confirmed by the in-game chat. But it didn't go down & even took three SABOT shells from Nordern in the Radkamfwagen 90, and it still killed both of them.

[@liladoodle]

The KA-50 & KA-52 have been like that since they were introduced into the game back in either 2018 or 2019.

[@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.

[@kb8619]

hey odd u said u were gonna make a video on the xm803 and never did, it would be cool to see it

[@boegscom]

I have to agree with the 75mm suddenly pinning when it normally doesn’t. I was playing the Chaffee at 5.3 and was surviving and thriving way more than I should have. Since there isn’t a good USA light tank between 3.7 and 5.7. The Chaffee is it. But really suffers above 5.3.

[@Rosaslav]

Hellcat? But, yeah, they could at least make Chaffee 3rd rank like in Italy/Japan

[@Taoscape]

I was wondering about this. A few days ago I got shot directly down the barrel with HEAT FS. It hit my muzzle, knocked out my gun then the fragments traveled down the entire length of the barrel, through the breach, and killed my crew.

[@001sharpshot]

Tbh it makes a little sense. The spot where the mantlet meets the barrel isnt sealed so the pressure from the explosion could theoretically travel through there and overpressure the interior. Is it likely? No. In fact, I'd say the opposite. Itll take the path of least resistance aka literally anywhere other than into that tiny sliver of space.
