Obj 4 track hull HE weakness still work?

Draschel: It depends. How you hit the track. What caliber you used, to hit the track. What angle, you hit the track. -The goals being, you need your HE shell to penetrate the track. If it will not penetrate the track, it will not go through towards the body of the tank, where it can deal damage.-So 90mm tier 8 medium gun, with 45 HE pen, most likely will never penetrate 279E tracks. It gets caught up in track belt and absorbed.-A generic 122mm has a chance to penetrate the track belts,  but cannot have the shot be too acutely into the tracks or the track effective armor increases and again, the shell doesn't penetrate the track and is absorbed. -Important to note, the shell must have a trajectory through the track, hitting the tank body behind. Penetrating the track, then flying off into space or hitting the dirt, and narrowly missing the tank body behind will not yield a hit or damage anymore. The HE simply wont detonate this way anymore and have detonations this way cause splash.  So ask yourself these parameters. Is my shell on course, to hit the actual tank body, and not just outer decals or spaced armor? Does my shell have base HE pen to beat objects track effective armor? If the armor is 40mm, alot of guns already can't beat it especially if angle of instance is sloped. Guns like 76, 85, 90mm are whole out of luck, unless unique HE like EBR75 or Senlac or RU251 that sees these small bore guns with high pen HE. You'd need very high pen HE like Leopard, M41GF, ISU152K, Etc. After all these are met, then yes. Even a simple 76mm HE shell can cause some damage 1.13 to 279E. It just can't be interfered with, like vision blocks, gun, tracks, spaced armor. But actually hitting the tank, small bore HE effects have been increased. And rather than causing  0,  will likely cause 5-10.  And 5-10 damage is certainly enough for a 2HP enemy, or a tank on cap.
