I think maybe you’re confusing two different things?
HEAT is a shaped charge that explodes and compresses a thin layer of metal (usually copper I think) into a tiny superheated lance that is extremely good at piercing armor. There’s no spalling involved afaik.
HESH creates spalling by basically being a big explosive that moulds to the armor before exploding, and uses a quirk of how the force moves through the armor to make the armor on the inside break off and bounce around the tank- that’s spall.
I’m pretty sure just using bricks like this would be effective against both types of ammo, though.
Maybe I’m entirely wrong idk I’m just a nerd on the internet.
