Can You Kill Heavy Cruiser in War Thunder? 

Tis’ but a scratch!

A scratch, your on glamming fire. No I'm not Look Just my crew smoking that's all Are what now.

lmao bs

@Coen McCluskey Nothing to do with ricochet, the explosives flatten out against the armour surface to increase the area. This transmits maximum energy through the plate to create greater spalling in the cabin.

@@gordoncroft4524 not increased, it just goes flat

@@Yanate1991 "HESH rounds are thin metal shells filled with inert material (like coal-tar pitch[3]) ,plastic explosive and a delayed-action base fuze. Upon impacting the inert material followed by plastic explosive is "squashed" against the surface of the target and SPREADS OUT to form a disc or "pat" of explosive.The inert material helps to prevent premature detonation of the plastic explosive and to sustain the impact pressure and temperature.[3] [2] The base fuze then detonates the explosive milliseconds later, creating a shock wave that, owing to its LARGE SURFACE AREA and direct contact with the target, is transmitted through the material." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-explosive_squash_head, all-caps emphasis mine That said, HESH probably wouldn't do too much to a big warship - critical areas on those have internal armor that would not be defeated by spalling created by a HESH shell detonating on the hull.

@@Yanate1991 flattening out DOES increase surface area dumbass

So you're saying a gun that's not far from a heavy cruiser gun should be closer to something between battle cruisuer and battleship size?

183mm gun is like small for a heavy cruisers it's very shot barrel gun , It's a tank killer . On battle ships they have long barrel large caliber guns like 200mm to 350mm those are made to sink ships

@@Geniusinventor only similar in shell diameter, most ship guns are 45/50 calibres in length so but fv4005 gun is only 22.4 which is less than half even 113mm British destroyer gun is 45 calibres

@@aussiejezza I agree

It's not small at all. Huge (10K-12K tons displacement) light cruisers of WW2 had 6in (150-155 mm) main guns. Destroyers were 1/5 to 1/4 size of the light cruisers, and only a few German ones had 6in guns, as it was considered too huge for destroyers. 183mm is definitely deadly even to the light cruisers, and should be problematic even for the heavy ones like Prinz Eugen. Barrel length is irrelevant at the distance used in this test.

Not a great suggestion bud.

400 mm guns go boom Also yamato technically Exists in the game, but it is ai controlled. You can find it in a single mission called the last sail of the Yamato. You can also see it in Japanese naval test flight map

@@distinctjackal9016 nice But it will be nice to test drive one

That will take a few updates

Overpowered

@Mr None тирэ ) типо

Why?

Yeah, but in WT that Pola would be good to go if given time to recover. Just flick on the pumps and wait for damage control. You can actually kill heavier ships in one torpedo if you manage to slip it into the ammo stowage at some angles. Steel Guru keeps aiming for where the belt armor is thickest, near the center of the ship.

@@barnstormer546 yeah I noticed that: fire the ATGMs at unarmored spaces and let her burn down
