However I want to continue to stress something you keep saying which is Incorrect imo.   HESH is NOT HE.it is a variation on the HEAT shells attempting to do the same thing OK all 3 types have High Explosive in their name but that is not the point.   High explosive simply explodes on contact with any hard surface and the damage done very much depends on the armour of the target. The blast may well find weaknesses and do more damage but such shells are not intended for armoured targets.   High explosive Squash head or High explosive plastic are armour defeating rounds and should be balanced in the same way High explosive anti tank rounds are. One tries to focus the power of the charge to cause spaling ie scabs of hot metal flake off the inner armour surface and fly around the tank interior. The other HEAT uses the monroe effect to burn a small hole through the armour plate and a jet of superheated plasma enters the crew space.   You know all this but the game treats HESH simply as a weird higher pen HE shell which it isnt. So please get the rebalancing right. Spal liners are effective against all these rounds its just that few use them because we are limited to 3 equipment slots. Maybe Spal liners should be modules not equipment.

If so to know if we can finally use that skill in tanks properlly as i use all 3 times of ammo, especially in premium tanks to farm credits. Also another question as i missed the HE test as i was inactive, will HE be able to pen spaced armored? or shields like STRV in front ?
