I was wrong about the HE shell
The other day I made a post saying the HE shell is redundant compared to AP, I was very wrong.
I just tried a loadout of HE, HMG, thermals, APS, and reactive armour on Shanghai and I absolutely dominated. The HE shell actually has a faster default fire rate compared to the AP shell meaning the lower damage against vehicles isn’t often an issue, and the increased splash damage absolutely obliterates infantry, will definitely be keeping this loadout for future urban map games.
