QB with HE: ACE, 8k combined, lots of medals, etc Me with HE: 3dmg, no medals, and somehow does damage to my own team with no team damage allowed Edit: why must you all take things so Obscurely? If I am talking in the context of using HE, OBVIOUSLY ITS TO SHOOT THE TEAMMATES. How am I supposed to push someone off a cliff with HE? TK is off for shooting, that doesn't mean you can't get blue when pushing someone off a cliff. Est. Patch1.6
I accidentally derped into the back of a KV-2's turret on my O-I Exp and did like 300 damage. I felt really awful. I didn't even think you could damage teammates.
HE use is a lot more nuanced than you'd think if you want to get the most out of it. There are situations where I want to aim at the heavily armored hull over trying to splash the hull roof with a turrent hit. For example, the E-100's that are sidescraping optimally give very little room to splash the 44mm hull roof with a turret front hit, but you have a significant portion of the hull's side armor that can splash the 55mm turret floor when they are aiming at you for a shot, and gives you a chance at detracking them... but an E100 that is hull down , go for the turret cheek that's over the engine deck as it also exposes the gas tanks along with the engine for considerable chance of starting fires. There are some vehicles and situations that I don't bother with the HE method against... such as an optimally hull down ST-I... between the hull front and the turret design and placement, you almost have to hit the turret ring itself in order to splash the 30mm hull roof, most of the turret front can only draw a LoS to the angled frontal armor due to how far forward the turret is mounted, and how low on the turret that it bulges out from, while aiming the cupola will splash the 100mm turret roof, which will eat the majority of the damage after the non penetration halves the damage. If they are sidescraping, you are best spamming HE into the inside track, as the hull has a signficiantly large portion sitting above the track, with only 30mm of armor from HE splashing up from the tracks... hitting the side of the tracks will tack on 2 instances of 20mm of spaced armor to the calculation if your HE doesn't penetrate the track... yes, you heard that right, your HE can take off the layer of spaced armor it hits by "Penetrating" where it hits, but will detonate immediately afterwards. If you hit just above the track, you can splash the 30mm segment with no spaced armor to reduce the damage. You have to keep track of all sorts of tidbits of information like this to make optimal use of your HE in situations where your AP or premium shells are going to be useless or woefully unreliable. It's made stock grinds a lot more bearable when landing as the bottom tier player, especially before 3-5-7.
I don't like qb due to the fact that he only puts in his good games, doesn't really show the worse sides of his gameplay. You watch skill and you see he doesn't get an ace every battle, plays more agressively and for the win and somehow on TH-cam quickybaby looks like the "better" player.
qb: 'the eagle eyed of you might already have noticed there's something incredibly wrong with my setup" also qb: **litterally puts it in the title in all caps** me: guess I am eagle eyed, yay
I tried taking AP on my arty, it didn’t work, my GW Tiger didn’t have any AP. So I only fired HE and it worked, so what I am think is that QB is wrong on this one, let’s start an HE spam meta
The t110e4 works surprisingly well with HE, I play it more like a heavy support, and when someone is side scraping really well I shoot them in the turret ring dealing 300-600 damage and tracking them
My 60TP is loaded with 10 shells of each type. I almost never use HEAT, but i will most propably use all of 10 HE shells. I love that tank!! Plus, the repair cost is low with the way i play it, so it's a plus-plus scenario!!!!
I often use HE rounds at the start of the match to get everyone repair out of the way and to help track in the open. then at the end for the low HP/armor ones.
HE only and you become a team player. Gold only is when you are trying to carry only. All those crits are amazingly helpful, the tracking damage shows you are helping your team, and not just yourself. Making enemies burn meds and reps is awesomely helpful. Especially if you have Arty support. They will greatly appreciate you knocking out a crew member and making them burn their med kit before the rain comes.
Possibly the best non obvious tank for using all HE is the Foch 155. It really does work at least as well as firing AP and sometimes better than firing premium (which is very expensive to run in any case) and if you do hit something in the side, you do a lot of damage. The T110e3 is also a HE beast. Several tanks are great for having 6-10 rounds of HE depending on the load-out possibilities - 60TP is one of the best. You can certainly make the hull down monsters move after 2 or 3 shots of HE from it. At a lower tier, the Charioteer is one of the best.
My buddy who plays on the RU server says that HE is actually really common over there, as is blindfiring. Apparently, a lot of RU players do exactly this. Playing peekaboo, snap shotting with HE and large caliber guns, and it works quite well when RNG is on your side. Sure, firing HE only on the NA or EU server is likely to get you killed, but over on the RU it's an extremely viable tactic, and is apparently one of the reasons why WG wanted to rebalance HE shells. They're spammed frequently over there, and a lot of their best players have memorized the most common locations to blindfire. It's quite a different game for them I guess.
in most of my Russian heavy tanks I usually have at least 1/3 to 1/2 HE ammo loaded.. because even the little chip away shots are good at making the enemy use consumables, as well as pee them off so the make mistakes where you can then use your AP ammo.
How funny is it artillery never shooting a top tier heavy in the open whom uses the anonymizer, but whenever I'm in +2 in any tank, also with the anonymizer, they always focus me?
Sigh....you do realize that now that you've done this and "made it work" a metric ass-ton of noobs are all going to be firing HE out of their tier 10 tanks? Good for all of us that don't I suppose.
In the Cent 7/1 before the turret buff on console you couldn't risk showing your lid for long enough to aim. So I specialised in using cheap HESH to ruin peoples days, killing crew and damaging modules. Since the turret buff you can even more reliably use it to ping bigger tanks in their squishy bits for surprising amounts of damage to the extent that they will actually start to retreat from a few hundred HP of damage because they can't understand how it penned their hull-down position.
Back before tier 10 LTs were introduced, the highest damage on my M41 Bulldog was when I forgot to change my ammo after an HE only arty hunt training room session with my friends xD
The T-III Meduim 2 with that crazy 75mm popgun does best with HE shells. Usual loadout is two or three AP shells with the rest being H.E. Some situations favor H.E, its that simple.
When I've had a run of bad luck and I am frustrated, I will sometimes do a full HE loadout on a heavily armoured tank and just amble around absorbing damage and confusing the enemy. It gives me a giggle and helps reset my brain. Of course, I've never had even close to this kind of result...
Back when the Lorraine was a tier 9, I accidentally took it into a game on ruinberg with only HE (left from a training room session). It was the only time I’ve done that, but it was also the game I got ace in for that tank...
I use HE only on FV4005 and it works great. In fact, it works better than HESH. Also, don't mind starting off with HE in E100 as most of its opponents are usually hulled down in the beginning. HE doesn't care where it lands and it still does damage to every tank. And when it arcs and lands on the roof of Jag E100 who thinks that covering his lower plate makes him safe... num, num, num!
World of Tanks Announcement - UPDATE 1.9 will be adding DIFFICULTY LEVELS! 1. AP (Beginner) 2. APCR (Easy) 3. HEAT (Novice) 4. High Explosive (God Mode)
As an old WOT and WT player, in my opinion QB can have more fun with HE in top tier in War Thunder whenever he feels down. Honestly its just soo hilarious to wreck turret drives and gun with HE
Your suggestion of using HE as the main shell for the P26/40 and the stock P43 Italian medium tanks. I am really enjoying myself seeing Luchs being on fire after I hit their engine with a good 75mm HE and even killing the Duck from the rear with HE only.
The Badger has really nice HE rounds. I carry a few when i'm in the Badger, and when you're up against lightly armoured tanks, your DPM goes through the roof. Standard HE on the FV215b-183 can be like being in a tier X KV-2. It's such a great feeling when you're able to pen somebody with the standard HE shells.
@@guvyygvuhh298 The cost of the HESH is the reason why I take a few standard HE. When you have to shoot at somebody that is side scraping, and you know you can't pen with HESH or AP, then HE will have the same affect as HESH but with a fraction of the cost. It's not like I use full HE load out lol. Just no point in paying for HESH when it's not needed.
Some of my 120mm guns I'll carry HE sometimes 10+ rounds in TDs because when you are staring down a road at hull down heavies you can still f them over.
I used to play KV-2 when eveything went wrong, but later I changed it for SU-152 with 152mm gun. Basicaly same HE ammo (910 dmg, 86 pen), but much faster reload (13,6 compared to 18,9).
one good he tank is t-34-85 and all the m and rudy variant of it as well. its 44 pen is enough to go thru most of the light tanks you meet, so 300dmg with 5 sec reload rips spotter apart like cheese. and lets not talk when you get in those tier 4 games
What seems to be overlooked most of the time is the fact that crew and module damage greatly reduces the perfomance to the target vehicle. We shouldn't think in terms of points accumulated but rather have we advanced the team to a win. So, spamming HE is not a bad strategy. I like to make it my first shot... the guy is healing his commander will I'm loading an AP for the next shot. I'll alternate to piss the guy off... the med kit isn't available anymore and now his loader is dead and that 8 second reload is now 15... so, HE has a lot of value.. I wouldn't use it exclusively, for sure, but, like it in the mix to reduce the performance of the opposition.... I use HE maybe 10% of the time.
I don’t know if it’s still viable, but I used to do this thing in my T30 back in the day if I wanted to be really cheeky. When facing something like a VK 45.02 B I’d shoot HE under the tank at the inside of the track and it’d do huge amounts of splash damage
Something this highlights is how viable HE can be if used properly. most situations require HE but shooting things from behind or in the side HE is often a superior choice.
I think this shows how a versatile tank can make use of HE shells when controlled by a good player. Of course your loadout will depend on your tank. HE works best with derp guns, of course, like the KV-2 or I'd say the Pz. IV H with the Stummel.
quicky baby, Higher experience usually can earn using HE than using other types due to more crew injuries and module damages .That why It usually leading to high experience even with 1k to 2k damage.But importantly HE can use to efficient tracking with sufficient gun caliber ,That's why I love to play piggies. Assistant damage.
In the badger when you have a tank side scraping you. U can keep him perma tracked if his recrew skill is a little lacking and eventually kill them with out taking any dmg done it many many times
The biggest problem here is not that you shoot HE, but that you play a heavy tank like a light tank, and that it is very effective. I've known about this for a long time, and repeated the trope "Light tanks are a lost place on the team" for a long time. When you get to tire 8 and above, there is nothing an light tank can do, which no medium or even heavy tanks can do better ... and additionally have better gun and armor. This is because of the way that Wargaming has been tuning tanks for years. Thus, the whole class of light tank is useless, and with this also arty ... and consequently also TD. You can see this from the stats if you compare across classes. If you play a heavy as if it were a light, you will score better on support average, then you can achieve in a light, and in addition do more damage yourself. This is the reality of the game ... if you focus on efficiency regardless of class, then light, TD, and arty are wasted. A team consisting of only heavy and medium tanks will win against a balanced team of equally good players... always. You yourself have pointed out the problem when it comes to ranked battles ... you just haven't drawn the conclusions yet. The reason it is not reflected in the winning statistics is that a class of tanks is machined against an equal class tank on both teams in random matches ... so you can't possibly see it. If this were not the case, then everyone would stop playing the wasted classes verry quickly. Good hunting.
Hey QB, don't think you'll see this but I wanted to say thank you! I have recently started playing world of tanks on pc (I was playing on console) and youre videos with tips on progression and best ways to earn silver and xp have helped tremendously! I have been able to get to tier 7 already and I just started working on the line!
Demonstrating how effective HE-only is in a tank that normally uses AP, APCR or HEAT is probably a factor in WG now attempting to change HE across the board. LUL ;)
I love HEs. Nothing frustrates your opponents more than getting consistently splashed by 150mm guns for 250-400dmg a pop when they think they are safe in their hull-down / sidescraping positions in their heavies
There is one thing I don’t understand why is there 2 obj 260 in the game you have the tank that is called obj 260 and you have the IS 7 which it’s original name is obj 260 can someone explain???????
I honestly like playing the Foch 155 with HE only for fun occasionally. I only have 36 battles (but like 60% WR), so it seems to be working. That said, as QB said, AP/HEAT/APCR is the best for 99.99% of tanks.

Your suggestion of using HE as the main shell for the P26/40 and the stock P43 Italian medium tanks. I am really enjoying myself seeing Luchs being on fire after I hit their engine with a good 75mm HE and even killing the Duck from the rear with HE only.
So what you are saying, is HE only is the best way to play. This will for sure bring me up to 48% win ratio. Thanks QB for the awesome tips
The Badger has really nice HE rounds. I carry a few when i'm in the Badger, and when you're up against lightly armoured tanks, your DPM goes through the roof. Standard HE on the FV215b-183 can be like being in a tier X KV-2. It's such a great feeling when you're able to pen somebody with the standard HE shells.
But why bother with the standard HE when u have HESH with triple pen and quadruple cost?
@@guvyygvuhh298 The cost of the HESH is the reason why I take a few standard HE. When you have to shoot at somebody that is side scraping, and you know you can't pen with HESH or AP, then HE will have the same affect as HESH but with a fraction of the cost. It's not like I use full HE load out lol. Just no point in paying for HESH when it's not needed.
@@lisadolatowski fair point lol
Some of my 120mm guns I'll carry HE sometimes 10+ rounds in TDs because when you are staring down a road at hull down heavies you can still f them over.
I used to play KV-2 when eveything went wrong, but later I changed it for SU-152 with 152mm gun. Basicaly same HE ammo (910 dmg, 86 pen), but much faster reload (13,6 compared to 18,9).
one good he tank is t-34-85 and all the m and rudy variant of it as well. its 44 pen is enough to go thru most of the light tanks you meet, so 300dmg with 5 sec reload rips spotter apart like cheese. and lets not talk when you get in those tier 4 games
What seems to be overlooked most of the time is the fact that crew and module damage greatly reduces the perfomance to the target vehicle. We shouldn't think in terms of points accumulated but rather have we advanced the team to a win. So, spamming HE is not a bad strategy. I like to make it my first shot... the guy is healing his commander will I'm loading an AP for the next shot. I'll alternate to piss the guy off... the med kit isn't available anymore and now his loader is dead and that 8 second reload is now 15... so, HE has a lot of value.. I wouldn't use it exclusively, for sure, but, like it in the mix to reduce the performance of the opposition.... I use HE maybe 10% of the time.
I don’t know if it’s still viable, but I used to do this thing in my T30 back in the day if I wanted to be really cheeky. When facing something like a VK 45.02 B I’d shoot HE under the tank at the inside of the track and it’d do huge amounts of splash damage
Something this highlights is how viable HE can be if used properly. most situations require HE but shooting things from behind or in the side HE is often a superior choice.
This is one of the most funny video I've ever seen by QB... I really enjoyed it and the your big lucky game. Thanks
I think this shows how a versatile tank can make use of HE shells when controlled by a good player.
Of course your loadout will depend on your tank. HE works best with derp guns, of course, like the KV-2 or I'd say the Pz. IV H with the Stummel.
would it work with SU-152 and ISU-152?
*With enough milimiters, anything is possible.*
So this is why that T-10 I met early yesterday was firing only HE. Nice.
quicky baby, Higher experience usually can earn using HE than using other types due to more crew injuries and module damages .That why It usually leading to high experience even with 1k to 2k damage.But importantly HE can use to efficient tracking with sufficient gun caliber ,That's why I love to play piggies. Assistant damage.
In the badger when you have a tank side scraping you. U can keep him perma tracked if his recrew skill is a little lacking and eventually kill them with out taking any dmg done it many many times
Good to know that I never have to battle with shells that penetrate armor again! Thanks for saving me all those credits!
thank you quackybabay for showing us the way a tank is meant to be played
Keep up the good work, bro. I always find your stuff very informative.
The biggest problem here is not that you shoot HE, but that you play a heavy tank like a light tank, and that it is very effective. I've known about this for a long time, and repeated the trope "Light tanks are a lost place on the team" for a long time.
When you get to tire 8 and above, there is nothing an light tank can do, which no medium or even heavy tanks can do better ... and additionally have better gun and armor. This is because of the way that Wargaming has been tuning tanks for years.
Thus, the whole class of light tank is useless, and with this also arty ... and consequently also TD. You can see this from the stats if you compare across classes. If you play a heavy as if it were a light, you will score better on support average, then you can achieve in a light, and in addition do more damage yourself.
This is the reality of the game ... if you focus on efficiency regardless of class, then light, TD, and arty are wasted. A team consisting of only heavy and medium tanks will win against a balanced team of equally good players... always.
You yourself have pointed out the problem when it comes to ranked battles ... you just haven't drawn the conclusions yet.
The reason it is not reflected in the winning statistics is that a class of tanks is machined against an equal class tank on both teams in random matches ... so you can't possibly see it. If this were not the case, then everyone would stop playing the wasted classes verry quickly.
Good hunting.
Hey QB, don't think you'll see this but I wanted to say thank you! I have recently started playing world of tanks on pc (I was playing on console) and youre videos with tips on progression and best ways to earn silver and xp have helped tremendously! I have been able to get to tier 7 already and I just started working on the line!
Demonstrating how effective HE-only is in a tank that normally uses AP, APCR or HEAT is probably a factor in WG now attempting to change HE across the board. LUL ;)
I love HEs. Nothing frustrates your opponents more than getting consistently splashed by 150mm guns for 250-400dmg a pop when they think they are safe in their hull-down / sidescraping positions in their heavies
Quickybaby, where can we install your (updated) modpack for the current version with Battlehits and stuff?
QB is my favourite TH-camr by far! Thanks for these videos.
There is one thing I don’t understand why is there 2 obj 260 in the game you have the tank that is called obj 260 and you have the IS 7 which it’s original name is obj 260 can someone explain???????
08:40min., so brought us HE rework; thx You're welcome.
I honestly like playing the Foch 155 with HE only for fun occasionally.
I only have 36 battles (but like 60% WR), so it seems to be working.
That said, as QB said, AP/HEAT/APCR is the best for 99.99% of tanks.
