So I sometimes have to fire HE at, for example, a JPE 100. I did around 200 dmg each shot. However, I shot HE at a hull down E 100 and did 100-150 dmg per shot. Does the amount of damage dealt with HE differ because of armor thickness or is it all chance?

When a he shell hits and doesn't pen half the damage goes into thin air and the rest tries to leak through the armor. The higher the alpha/calibre of the he shell the more damage "leaked" through their armor at what rate I don't know

I heard armor thickness negates some splash damage.

HE rounds look for weapspots close to where they where fired, damage also depends in armor of nearest weakspots

I find if you are going to fire he fire it at the weakest flatest part of the tank for the full effect to take place if you cant fire at a weak armored spot then fire at the flatest part of the tank that looks like it will get full effect i find turrets take most damage not the hulls

I was firing regular AP rounds at an E100 (all red) which only had about 220 HP left. After the third shot rang off without so much as scratching it, I changed up to a HE and blew it away. The tank was still pink and red, but it worked.
