You know what happens when a spawn point gets hit with 8 pounds of Comp B RDX/TNT high explosive? Same as everything else...

 @aluminumfalcon552 It's actually a water heater, you don't brew anything in it per se. You just pour hot water over whatevers in your mug. Like Bovril.

@tomk3732 Well the Dorchester armour was definitely tested in Iraq, repeatedly. All RPGs but one bounced. And we know both Challengers were very accurate, killing up to T-72s at extreme ranges. And the up-time was incredible, we easily maintained them and kept them running around the clock. And fighting the tank, even though it was against an inferior (if numerous) foe, proved its excellent ergonomics and the quality of their training. Yes it wasn't fighting T-90Ms, probably the only tank it would have difficulty killing, but it was never designed to. And had it been required, it would have been upgraded, for which is was designed, and taken it a step above every tank it could have faced.

@scotty20040 It's not a tea brewing kettle, it's a water boiler. Literally anything you want to do with hot water, it's there for you: 1) Making tea 2) Making coffee 3) Making Bovril 4) Heating your MREs 5) Hot water for washing up 6) Hot water for washing your filthy mug 7) Making Ukrainian soup It has a tap at the bottom, see? You heat the water then pour the water on whatever.

So, hesh is defeated by spaced armour, no more spalling. But, can it still ignite fuel, hydraulics and ammunition when it's behind spaced armour? Or were those all secondary effects of the spalling?

@tvgerbil1984 Indeed, it is much more effective than the HEAT-FS rounds everybody else is forced to use as anti-obstacle rounds. HEAT is specifically designed to focus all that explosive energy into making small holes through thick armour, there is very little in the way of secondary effects. After a brief discussion on R slash tanks it also appears that all the secondaries from HESH are in fact secondaries from spalling. So, sadly, HESH is completely obsolete against composite armour 😔 Thankfully we now have programmable effects for HEAT-FS smart rounds fired from 120mm smooth bores, so Challenger 3 no longer requires HESH and its rifle.

11:21 Why does the remote weapon system have a built in Cat Carrier? Is it to launch angry cats at the enemy? Or are they sneaky recon cats with cyborg eyes?
