dpabrams Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 I thought I noticed that the commander was calling for HESH when faced with T-55/62 only and I believe the APDS is the better choice. Turns out in this test scenario I have included that in fact the commander will alternate calls for HESH and SABOT when faced with stationary T-55/62 at 1000 and 2000 meters. This is problematic I believe as APDS should be the first choice for T-55/62. 0 HESH test 1973.sce 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colebrook Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 AI engage 2000m tanks with HESH because they exceed the maximum effective range for KE (1800m). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawrence Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 I just hop into the TC's position and double tap the Insert key to manually load sabot 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ssnake Posted April 6, 2018 Members Share Posted April 6, 2018 Yep. That's the way to do it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkAngel Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 or trust the TC... In most cases given a Shot kal and a t-55/t-62 as a target HESH is the better choice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpabrams Posted April 7, 2018 Author Share Posted April 7, 2018 OK, I get all the above. Go to the range in the Shot Kal and try and hit a moving T-62 at 2000 meters with HESH, when you can't access the commanders seat and your rounds are indexed for you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Splash Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 Workaround for that is to press the "hold fire" key when the sce starts. The loader will continue to load sabot. The TC won't call out targets for you and will keep saying "Cease fire," but you'll be free to plink away at targets with sabot to your heart's content. You didn't hear this from me, of course. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK Huge difference on the tank range where penetration isn't considered. If a round hits it kills. Its a very different thing when you are in a real fight then you are wasting ammo on the whole with either round @2000m. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpabrams Posted April 10, 2018 Author Share Posted April 10, 2018 This logic of HESH over APDS is flawed. The AI is loading HESH when T-55's are less than 1000 meters, moving and behind light trees that will detonate a HESH round. I think the AI should load ADPS by default first. It's a pain in a fire fight to keep jumping in the commanders seat to index the best round for the job. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkAngel Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 and then it's the other way round when the enemy is in the open and it keeps going to AP when HESH is better. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
