No, they are exactly the same. HESH shells are just HE with higher pen. In-game they are even labeled as just HE.

Most people are already stupid enough to shoot AP/APCR at WTF-E100′s turret…

Thanks for all opinions here about AP or HESH from 183mm gun.

I wil consider them all but variety of different opinions on this matter is soo huge (here and on other forums) like on no other aspect of the game maybe.
No other way to experiment myself with all ammo types – something that i wanted to avoid in real server on top tier.

But i see noo other way.

Thanks anyway for opinions.

Good luck to all.

Be carefull with paper stats and how they really perform in game. Remember that FV183 has only 0.2 worse accuracy and how it really feels like 0.55 rather then the paper 0.4. Any FV183 can say u the same. Especially me with way over 1300 games in the FV.

Spot on. A weak hull can be covered, but covering a turret of a bigger size then the turret of the WTE100 is a different story. This tank is a waste of space in WoT tbh. Not that armor means much on T10, but this is just hilarious lol. You shot my E50M for 600 dmg with your HESH shell? How cute… Let me now shoot u with 500 dmg HE shells 3 times. Lol.

With 0.38 acc and 3s reload, maybe you can fire AP and do just fine

Oh what am I kidding, who the fuck wants 1150 alpha when you can have 1750.

Without vision/camo/speed and DPM advantage of the hellcat. Charioteer is closest thing to a high tier hellcat

You don’t “need” to relocate between shots, in corridor maps you merely peek-a-boom a different corner. Relocating to another flank is usually much longer than your reload and you might not make it there at all. This is not a Foch155 or a 50B; heck it’s even slower than the Cancer100 (max speed), so just go full FPS mode and click people, I guess?

HESH does not have the same mechanism as HE….It is true they are close..but not the same (Otherwise whats the point).High Explosive Squash Head is completely dependent on whether you hit spaced armor or not .

Too bad they forgot to add in the the 183 now has the mobility of an e100.
