They should do this for HESH, not HE.

spam HE, how exactly? HE loads just as fast as AP.

HE against weakly armored tanks? what tier do you play?
on the high tiers, HE shells can only penetrate what, the German WT tanks?

on my FV4202, I don’t even carry standard HESH, only gold HESH, and even when I spot those WT tanks, I don’t switch to HESH right away to make sure I will have APCR loaded for when I can’t shoot the WT because of how difficult it is to get a good angle to pen anything else using the gold HESH, which has far better pen than standard HE.

I sure do love it when people take something as vague as “we’re considering making HE stun” and then run off with their crazy crackpot idea of how it will be ridiculously OP.

Wargaming.net may not be a perfect company but they are competent game designers. There are a number of ways they could implement this without it being complete bullshit, so don’t get your knickers in such a twist.

Honestly I like the idea. I would rather arty do way less damage and stun my crew than simply taking out my tank entirely with one lucky shot to the engine deck.

Not good for gameplay? At least ramming you need to be close, with this HE effect any cunt can just snipe you from distance and cause hard.

so IF the HE shells will receive that and HESH and HEAT will receive the same properties ??? …. IT WILL BE APPLIED TO ALL “HE” TYPE OF SHELLS????

This whole stun idea is a shit joke. Taking control away from the player is a shitty idea to start with, then to think that they will get it right on the first go is ignorance. How many things has WG fucked up and turned around and gone “we’ll thats not how we wanted it” and taken something out, reworked it, taken it out, reworked it, then dropped it all together. I don’t want to deal with 6 months or a year of them trying to rebalance HE mechanics so they can twiddle with stun locking people or stupid shit like that. Its NOT a sim, lets add realistic elements, it’s an arcade game, this should be just like in real life! Ok WG, which is it and how little can you fuck up trying to change it?

Don’t be a dipstick obviously it won’t work like that.

Even without penetrating explosives can stun and incapacitate crew members as basically a large shockwave goes through it (imagine sticking your head in a bell, whilst someone was hitting it with a hammer).

AP you don’t get this effect (as much). Ramming is a candidate for stunning as you’d get a shock if 50tons rammed into you, but probably not good for gameplay.

I think people are getting confused over the word stun, they don’t mean you wont be able to do anything for 3 seconds, it means your crew effectiveness will be reduced for 3 seconds.
