Hello. Good video but I had difficulty understanding you. Might I suggest that you either lower the volume of the game or up the volume on your mic. Thank you.
Hey martin please try to lower the volume of the replays and increase the volume of you speaking because, some times we cant hear what you are saying when in game sound is too much . You are doing great. Good job amigo
Have you ever used HE on the KV2 by aiming the gun at the target tank's hull bottom? So that when the shell hits (instead of the thickest frontal armour) the ground beneath the bottom hull, it gives u almost full damage of HE shell (because the HE shell is exploding underneath the rly thin bottom hull armour) I know some people do it in the PC version, but I wanna know if it works in blitz :/ Pretty good HE derp technique, but it doesn't work if the enemy player hides his hull bottom with a rock in front
andrew lee that tactic is very useful for games like war thunder but I don’t think it will be as useful in wot blitz. But it will do more splash damage indeed compared to other parts like the hull.
andrew lee This is really good when against enemy heavies in your T49. Down at tier 6, the 100mm of armour for HT isn’t too tough, so spamming enemies with HE in the KV-2 is ok (it also does more module dmg as it hits the hull and not the ground). In something like a T49 with the 150mm, because of the high tiers and heavily armoured HTs, a HE hit that would do 300 down at tier 6 only does 200 against Tier 8 tanks (150+ mm of armour). Heck, against T9 tanks the HE is pretty bad (160-180 dmg), but splashing the HE shell directly under the enemy’s hull will allow you to do 330ish dmg, BUT there will be minimal module dmg. Splashing under the enemy is useful to do 330dmg to enemies you just can’t kill but having to aim the shot under the enemy takes time, and you will not do as much module damage.
HEAT rounds doesn't have high potential damage as He rounds. It is still Explosive but focused on penetration rather than damage. Better penetration than AP and APCR but can't go through wall.
Thanks for making this video. The volume goes in the middle and I had trouble hearing your voice over the game sounds! So small technical difficulty but the content was concise as usual! Thanks again!!
It was still a great video and I hope you know how much I appreciate you making this video. I don’t think anyone else has made a video on this subject. I know a few dudes who just don’t carry any HE. Now I can put them on to this video! Thanks!
Great video dude! The mechanics of HE and similar shell types was one of the hardest things for me to grasp as a new player. And it is fairly simple, it is just that there are not many videos like this (Bushka has one but he talks mainly about HESH)
Oi quick question have you been having with problems with matchmaking as well? Cause alot of people has been having trouble with it in Blitz that I come across.
Martin Dogger heres a other thing you can add if your trying ti get behind a quick moving TD and you in say Bat-châtillon or leopard shoot the track wheel with HE and it will break allowing you to get behind them.
Martin Dogger I would like to see a vid on either the French heavy auto loaders (How play them) or a video on how to play a medium as the battle goes on. Cheers!
7:30 Little known fact, 85mm guns do 300 average HE damage, with up to 375 on a max roll. So don't be surprised about doing that kind of damage in your t-43 et al.
if you want to learn HE ammo more effectively just use it with a caliber larger than 152 (like a KV-2 or SU 152) or you can just shoot light tanks or German armorless TDs
Great video I learnt a lot but had difficulty applying what I learnt, as it seems the World of Tanks Blitz 'Controls' on your iPad are quite different to the 'Controls' my Mac. The mac version doesn't seem to have an option of an Ammo Bar. Or if it does can anyone point out where it is.
I must say it’s a good video, but there’s a bit of false information in the video 1, Yellow on a Tank means you will only do splash damage Grey means It will pen and do full damage Red means you will not do splash damage 2, You said modules don’t really have a hit box, or a hp pool, every tank has module health and has a hit box
With modules, I meant the boxes on the back of the Tiger, and for example the 'ears' of T29 turret, fuel tanks on IS-3 etc. The yellow is not reliable about splash damage imho because I've seen yellow plates and yet no splash damage even when I hit them. thanks for the comments though. That helps the community!
Weirdly no... There are some tanks with crazy high HE pen but TDS don’t tend to be them. TDS usually have good HE pen across the board but anomalies like RU 251, Standard B and lekpz 90 can catch people by surprise. From memory each one has over 100mm pen on the HE shell before taking the calibrated shells that boosts it by an extra 10%.
Your videos are great, thanks. However in the first part of this video it was hard to hear what you were saying because the voice in the game was talking louder. Fortunately, you did a summary in the end. Looks like I need to get into using HE more. o7
I dont recommend newbie to play this because it has a really bad gun depression, the stock grind is pain, long reload time(this is big problem because if u shoot and missed u probably get flanked my mt/lt and they out dpm you), Edit:And the accuracy sux
I forgot to mention that i liked this video and it was informative. However, I think it would be helpful to mention HE and large-caliber guns like the Soviet 122 and 152 mm guns. If all you see is an enemy's turret or an angled side, you can fire an HE for some guaranteed damage. You might still hit for 300 or 400 which is better than your AP shell just bouncing.
It would purely be to improve the HE pen. I'll do some more experimenting, I've already noticed the quicker velocity which makes hitting moving targets slightly easier.
Kevin Knees up Mother Brown the shell velocity won’t Get better with calibratee Shells, only with supercharge(which is one of my favorite equipment slots)
Kevin Knees up Mother Brown I use it and my god is it great. The reload time is already fast imo so I chose calibrated shells. 300mm ap pen means apcr literally becomes useless unless you want to easily penetrate through tanks like e75’s without aiming. Saves some credits. And 99mm he penetration gives you a better chance to inflict massive damage
HE and heat rounds are very fickle. Sometimes they’ll decide to go through small fences and hit tanks no problem. Then there are times where it will hit a little stick and explode
8:15 WHAT IS THAT? Sorry, I just started playing this game about 4 days ago and I love it, but I'm still learning stuff about the game, for instance: the tankenstein and the annihilator are op, and I need to get both of then as soon as I possibly can.
This is an older video but we don't have the ammo bar option on PC. I use the 1,2 3 keys on keyboard. Sound too low on this. Too bad cause the info is very important.
Why is the HE damage roll so variable? Sometimes I am in my IS-6 or T-54 and I think I'll just finish off this Borsig or Waffle with a single HE round (which I can get 400-500 damage rolls from on IS-6) and then for some reason I get a stupid roll of 150 and the Borsig is right in front of me? Is this because I'm rushing my shot or lag or what?
I try using HE with the kpf, but its damn near useless againts heavies. An not any better with med tanks either. Even if you hit there "weak spot", i do at most 150-250 dmg. An with a 14.7 second reload its not even worth firing. Its almost useless, probly could be used for preventing caps but thats it.
it is often too much of a risk... the risk of hitting a tree branch... or anything for no damage... or bounces or riccochet... no damage... in the most important or critical moments... nothing.

Yes that would be possible if you do enough damage to the tracks with every shot
Lower the volume of the game play!!!!!!!!
Your audio should be set a little bit higher than the game audio for this video. I like your page, keep up the informative content!
Hello. Good video but I had difficulty understanding you. Might I suggest that you either lower the volume of the game or up the volume on your mic. Thank you.

Yes. I agree too
Yes, speech is far more important than gameplay sound
Agree!
Même remarque
I'm a simple man. I see PZ SFL, Nashorn or Hellcat I load HE
Indeed. But you would be surprised to see how many more tanks can be penned with HE
@@MartinDogger i know, that was just example
I am also a simply man. I see low hp tank I load HE
Chi series too except Chi-To SPG
I see Grille 15 line tank, I load HE
Hey martin please try to lower the volume of the replays and increase the volume of you speaking because, some times we cant hear what you are saying when in game sound is too much .
You are doing great. Good job amigo
Will do next time, sorry about it mate
Omg I thought shooting at the orange parts would do the most damage! 😂
Eerhm .. nope
Lol
Well orange is closer to red, can't understand why you thought that way
Same
Same
I love using HE when shooting tank destroyers in the back
GG buddy!
I thought you used LekPz
You forgot to mention that HE is useless against spaced armor (tracks, appliqué armor plates, etc.)!!!
By useless I mean you won't get a full roll
You are absolutely right!
its not useless when your using kv2
Sans The Skelepun yeah, that’s cause all T5-6-7 don’t have spaced armor stoooooopid
@@mememan781 nightmare has spaced armor
Never seen a better how to use HE guide! Nice job Martin :D
Well, there aren't that many around either LOL 😂

Pretty good HE derp technique, but it doesn't work if the enemy player hides his hull bottom with a rock in front
I tried it with a 128mm gun but the he just not big enough to do splash damage

You're far better off shooting the lower glacis directly

yes this tactic does work in blitz sense i used a kv-2 n a match and i shot an HE round right under a churchill and it did splash damage
Loking for next in series: what is heat and when is it useful? Keep ‘em coming, bro
HEAT rounds doesn't have high potential damage as He rounds. It is still Explosive but focused on penetration rather than damage. Better penetration than AP and APCR but can't go through wall.

Thank you for visiting my channel. I appreciate that
Very good video Martin. Best explanation I’ve seen so far

Great! now lets explain how to use
HESH, APFSDS, APDSFS, HEATFS, APCBC, HEAT, ATGM, APDS, APBC, APHE, APCR, and HE-MOM
Great vid and much needed. No one has really done this on youtube. Keep the vids coming!
Working on more stuff Donald. Anything you would like to see in particular?
Martin Dogger I would like to see a vid on either the French heavy auto loaders (How play them) or a video on how to play a medium as the battle goes on. Cheers!
Nice vid, i only used HE on my heavy or td tanks, never on my light or mediums i prefer a steady dmg on those but still nice tip
Do use it on lights and mediums too. Bat Chat vs E4 butt + high explosive = yummy 😉
7:30 Little known fact, 85mm guns do 300 average HE damage, with up to 375 on a max roll. So don't be surprised about doing that kind of damage in your t-43 et al.
Great additional info!
Thanks this guide help me alot now i can shoot HE well
I agree really good brush up on how to use ammo
Just go get the KV-2 , load it up with HE and go ruin peoples game, well that's what I do.
Confusion Confusion until they nerfed it...
@@TalkingGIJoe tbh i don't see too much of a difference even after the nerf xD, I still do hilarious amounts of damage with the KV2 in one shot
Best part of either using AP or HE for kv 2 is ammoracking others
Great vid mate ! should help alot of people
Great video Martin exactly what we've all been looking for keep up the good work
Cool, glad you liked it Thanakis
if you want to learn HE ammo more effectively just use it with a caliber larger than 152 (like a KV-2 or SU 152)
or
you can just shoot light tanks or German armorless TDs
Great video I learnt a lot but had difficulty applying what I learnt, as it seems the World of Tanks Blitz 'Controls' on your iPad are quite different to the 'Controls' my Mac. The mac version doesn't seem to have an option of an Ammo Bar. Or if it does can anyone point out where it is.
On Mac or Windows, you can quickly switch ammo by pressing a numbers key, can't you?
Yes, and these keys can be modified. But the defaults are "1" for AP, "2" for special ammo (HEAT, APCR, etc.), and "3" for HE.
Great video !
This video was awesome. Thanks!
I must say it’s a good video, but there’s a bit of false information in the video
1, Yellow on a Tank means you will only do splash damage

not only grey but black, blue. and some red means it will pen
Thanks man a noob like me can improve by watchin these videos
Ty man!
Can't wait to get back to this game. I've missed it 😃😃😃
Good to hear Christian
i knew most of it but good to know, might try out the hellcat :D
wow im dumb, this video for new players..lol

I prefer your more exciting commentary as of now😁
Play KV2, drop max HE in and play battles.
Stalin guides your shells LOL
Fucking KV2s are crazy powerful for its tire but they are slow may be its that lol
True
And the lack of accuracy ;-).
I dont recommend newbie to play this because it has a really bad gun depression, the stock grind is pain, long reload time(this is big problem because if u shoot and missed u probably get flanked my mt/lt and they out dpm you),
Edit:And the accuracy sux
tanks that have the guns such as the 152 mm howitzer are more effective with HE rounds
Whenever i use HE... it always only gives off 2hp
Thanks. Great tuturial.
Thnks fr ths video...!!!
Dont worry Martin most of us know what to do. I ve learned that from my KVass 2 :3

there is no such thing as guaranteed damage... HE bounces, riccochets and does no damage quite often.
Good educatin martin 😁
Hi Martin dogger, I play on pc
Can u make a vid for that?
Would you recommend calibrated shells on the ISU-152?
Kevin Knees up Mother Brown no need to use them, you have 268 mm of pen on a tier 8 tank, just use the rammer
Depends on the gun, but with the BL-10 you have such godly pen that is does not need it.
It would purely be to improve the HE pen. I'll do some more experimenting, I've already noticed the quicker velocity which makes hitting moving targets slightly easier.

Has the use of HE changed at all since 4 years ago when this was made?
Awesome Video.

very good video
but lower ingame sound and it would be perfect
HE and heat rounds are very fickle. Sometimes they’ll decide to go through small fences and hit tanks no problem. Then there are times where it will hit a little stick and explode

torinter mage its because you either hit his gun or tracks and it didnt pen
What Grumpycat said. You probably hit his gun or the tracks which did only splash damage
so if I was using auto aim on PC or mobile would there be less chance of hitting track or gun?
torinter mage no. Pc autoaim aims for the center mass. This is bad against russian tanks since they have tracks in their sides and for borsigs too

Use Ho-Ro with HighExplosive shell in WarThunder realistic battle mode
Not much use here because this is Blitz

had to give up on this one. Couldn't hear your VO over the game sounds.
That's easy just use HE when you battle French like tanks
Like the ones like I use but don't worry we have 14 gears I reverse & 13 for acceleration
Yeah like that joke is not as old as Rome LOL
Martin Dogger no this joke was made before the Germans cut through the Ardens
How to use he effectively: kv2 and its 152mm gun
It's not yellow for splash damage points it's orange.
How do I turn the the damage given and taken bat one the left?

oh hey tonks.. again :D
I only use HE to knock out tracks thats all
HEP FOR LEOPARDS!!
HE vs Conq/British Tier 9+ HE (Aka non premium HESH)... Man they do next to nothing for splash
But how about the other type of HE AMMO
I can do another video specifically on HEAT if that would help you?
Martin Dogger is it heat or High Explosive Shell on my device it says "High Explosive Shell" not "HEAT"
Martin Dogger its hesh and its like he but more penetration
Can you please speak up or reduce volume of in game sounds
it is often too much of a risk... the risk of hitting a tree branch... or anything for no damage... or bounces or riccochet... no damage... in the most important or critical moments... nothing.
