Taiwan’s Defense Ministry said it is monitoring the situation from the air and sea, and land-based missile systems were prepared to respond. It is fun to make fires and destroy modules, but it takes far longer to sink ships.BEIJING (AP) - China’s People’s Liberation Army sent 13 aircraft and 6 vessels into airspace and waters around Taiwan over the past 24 hours as of early Saturday, overlapping with United States Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen’s visit to Beijing aimed at mending strained relations. However as you get to the higher levels, HE becomes even worse, a lot don't even bother using it for the lightly armoured ships. Thus, HE is superior against lightly armored targets that AP might overpenetrate, including destroyers and carrier decks.ĪP is superior against more well-armored targets which would resist HE shells, like cruisers, carrier hulls, and especially battleships. Thus while AP in WoT is a reliable penetrator that deals moderate damage, in Warships they either penetrate heavy armor, dealing more damage than HE, or overpenetrate light armor, dealing substantially less damage than HE. AP, however performs slightly differently as they are not purely kinetic penetrators as in WoT, but are actually fused HE shells designed to penetrate armor before detonating.

So from what I understand, the situations in which HE performs well are similar to WoT, in that if a target is poorly armored, HE will hit for high damage.
