    Definitely the easiest to understand video on ammo I’ve seen, well done! This video should always be pinned on your channel page if you can do that.
    Only thing you missed out in this video is a little more discussion on premium AP ammo (mostly used by Japanese tanks, although the KV-2 and SU-100Y use it too). It is an odd one since Japanese premium AP works like a lesser version of APCR, more pen for less damage - but Soviet premium AP works differently, less pen for more damage!
    Agree with you about disliking HEAT compared to APCR. I once suggested to WG on the forums that they compensate for the obstacle detonation and spaced armour penetration limitations of HEAT damage by reversing the -15% damage reduction for it. IMO HEAT should do the full 100% damage that it used to, same as AP. That would make HEAT-firing tanks attractive once again.

      Thing is, HEAT’s excellent for flat, thick enemy armour.
      The lack of normalisation for HEAT allows it to bounce off angled surfaces (40+ degrees angled) more easily...
      Personally, good positioning allows for better shots, so whether it’s APCR or HEAT, it doesn’t matter much.

    • @timonsolus
      @timonsolus 6 років тому

      Qin Hang: APCR is good for thick, flat enemy armour too, so that’s not a special advantage for HEAT.

    • @theextratank7792
      @theextratank7792 6 років тому +2

      Tank__ Reeper
      It depends on the tank.
      For example, the Tiger’s side armour may be strong at 82mm, but the area behind the tracks is 60mm, leading to many failed bounces.
      Typically, search up armour models of the tank that you have. For example, the Tiger I has a strong mantlet, but an exposed turret front. Not taking any chances, I usually just expose the gun mantlet and move around between reloads to keep my cupola a harder target.
      Then, you have the IS.
      The hull frontally is weak, while the turret’s cheeks are easy to hit. However, with the frontally mounted turret, it’s easier to angle around a city (backwards)without exposing the rear or the turret front for too long.
      For LT, if you’re getting chased around by a derp tank, give your side to the enemy. Reason being: tracks cover a lot of your side, and once they hit the track, those KV-2s will only do 350-400 dmg as compared to the 960 avg.
      As a whole, staying hull down should help in most tanks, but checking the armour models online should give you an idea of the intricacies of a tank’s armour, with how to defeat one and how to command one firmly in your grasp.

Also APCR does lose penn if shooting over long distances, this is due to the nature of the shells, again found in the forums easily it the wiki found on the Blitz website..
