![]() You can however see red dots in the driver's area, which are all bits of shrapnel. ![]() In the screenshot it does not seem so because the rest of the shrapnel already hit either the inside walls of the tank or the crew members (driver and machine gunner). The shrapnel is spread in all directions, not just the direction of the shell trajectory. The screenshot was taken firing a shrapnel shell from a "T-34 1940" into the front of a "PzIV C" in the Test Drive map at a distance of 160m. If the shell penetrates the target it will explode releasing a TON of shrapnel all over the place.ĭeadly at lower tier battles (Rank 1-2, up to BR 3-4). Jk, but this is really nasty, just look at the screenshotĪlthough the penetration values of this shell are low (when compared with the AP based ammo tanks should have anyways) the Shrapnel shots can be quite deadly. There are lots of better shells to destroy a tank, like APCBC or APHEBC which most tanks should have, or at least something similar.ĭo not use this unless you want to go to court-martial. In Arcade game mode that is not really a big deal if the target is stationary, but if the target is moving or you are playing in Simulation or Realism modes you need to compensate for the slower shell speed. HEAT shells travel VERY SLOWLY! A tank which fired AP shells at ~680m/s will fire HEAT at ~330m/s, so you will have to aim much higher to hit the target. When you need a long range alternative with high penetration this might be your solution, but these shells should only be used as your last option, when you can't absolutely do anything else. It looks like a mix of AP with HE, meaning it will explode just like an HE shell but create shrapnel like an AP shell. It's not how this works in War Thunder though. ![]() Shell explodes on impact and propels material into the tank through a tiny hole. The real life mechanics of this shell are kinda cool.
