Weasel Wrote:Never did it fire AP for me, not once. And the HE bounced off everything, even targets with 1 point of armour. Even if the tank was designed as an infantry support weapon why would the commander fire HE at an armoured target? I don't think the Japanese are that stupid to not be able to distinguish a soldier from a tank.

It is screwed.

Don't know about the game but historically it would be accurate for a tank to fire HE at enemy tanks, it was quite common for Germans to fire HE at lighter enemy armour and score kills. They tried to save AP for medium and heavy armour. Also at longer range it was easier to fire a HE to see where it lands, AP doesn't give many hints if it misses target.
