APHE Done right - SUGGESTION

[LofisisHomeless]

I am here to propose a new APHE rework by just looking at 1 thing. It's fuse. I am fairly sure everyone knows how it currently works but this is the case right here

We have 100mm of armor and 60mm behind that armor We fire a 150mm penetrating shell and it penetrates the 100mm plate and detonates on the 60mm plate as it runs out of penetration.

My first suggestion is a delayed fuse to the APHE You would have a slider where you can set the delay in detonation after penetration. like on smoke rounds you can set a fuse time. But instead this fuse would be after penetration.

My last suggestion is also a new slider. Fuse sensitivity in mm. This is where you could set example 20mm of fuse sensitivity. where it would penetrate 19mm effective without triggering the previous delayed fuse mentioned.

But a low sensitivity can also be a good thing... specifically for anti air vehicles.

By having a fuse trigger of 0mm it would start the fuse on anything it touches no matter thickness.. LIKE AIRCRAFT! Now Anti aircraft vehicles can have a viable multipurpose round that can penetrate Armor and still deal with aircraft effectively.

Recommended default settings for proposed APHE

0mm fuse - fuses on any penetration 0s fuse time - 0 = no time fuse - detonates like the old round.

Benefits

• More realistic round performance
• Multipurpose
• Works with every gun using APHE
• Increased lethality of APHE
• Fake turret tanks will cry
• Side skirts and spaced Armor is more viable as it can early detonate rounds that have a low fuse sensitivity
• Over pen no more
• Fuse settings of rounds is up to the user, adjusting them after your needs. Anti air, naval artillery and you name it.

Downsides

• Confused users (if its using the defaults I proposed it would just act like normal APHE)
• Some poor dude has to code it (Though I hope you guys want something challenging but not impossible to code)

This is actually something we need gj

Frankly I'd love to see this properly made I've been clear on how it could be done right and it benefits everyone and benefits certain design styles

Like armored skirts and spaced armor
