Thank you for watching
Today we will talk about ammunition in World of Tanks. There are four types of shells:
AP – Armor Piercing. APCR – Armor Piercing Composite Rigid. HEAT – High Explosive Anti-Tank. HE – High Explosive.
There is also a subtype of HE – HESH – the same HEP. It's HE Shell with much more penetration.
By muzzle velocity the fastest shell is APCR, then AP and after that HE. HEAT is the slowest one.
Penetration and damage values are randomized and can be 25% higher or lower.
For example British tier X tank destroyer Badger's average penetration with AP shell is 272mm and average damage is 480.
Real penetration value will be from 204 to 340mm and real damage value from 360 to 600.
So it's absolutely possible that Badger couldn't penetrate armor but tier VI AT 8 could.
Shell flying distance is limited for each type of vehicles except SPG. After travel of this distance, the shell just disappears.
For the medium and large calibers flying distance is 720m but for some small ones it's 400m.
Distance doesn't depend on the caliber, for one 25mm shell the range is 720m and for other 25mm shell is 400m.
360m for small calibers from the Wargaming video is a mistake or the range increased to 400m after that.
In fact the range is 405m, I tested many tanks and the result is the same that you see yourselves. Why 405 and not 400, I don't know.
In document the penetration capability is given from a 100m distance.
Kinetic shells AP and APCR lose their penetration over distance.
Loss of penetration is individual for each gun and shell.
HE and HEAT shells aren't kinetic so they don't lose their penetration on the range.
AP and APCR shells can go through the destructible objects such as cars and fences and continue flying but it takes 25mm of penetration.
If there are several objects each of them take 25mm.
In this situation it will take 25 + 25 mm because it penetrates two sections of the fence.
Some people don't pay attention to the wooden fences but they also take 25 mm as any others.
HE and HEAT shells detonates immediately when they touch any object and don't fly any farther.
Pay attention this sentence from the Wargaming Wikipedia, it's about the armor and not any other objects.
HEAT shell doesn't penetrate a tank even how close it is at the fence.
And the main advantage of HE shell - only it can damage the tank without armor penetration or without hit by splash.
Other types of shells without penetration can damage only external modules.
That's all. About Normalization, Overmatch and Ricochet we will talk in the other video.
Good luck!
