- How do armor penetration mechanics work?
What is the difference between shell types?
Which shell type should you use, depending on the circumstance?
When do you hear “Critical hit!” without inflicting any damage?
This episode of Explaining Mechanics will answer these and other questions. Don’t miss it!

after that video, I will play World Of Tanks with a calculator.

Hi
Isn't it funny, how you most likely hear "we didn't penetrate their armor", when shooting at the side armor of Soviet tanks?
Laatikkomafia spaced armor bro
Olaf S More like glorious stronk russian stalinium made out of stalin's skin that's harder than any other material in the world.
Vlad_MinecraftPlays that is what is under the spaced armor
Olaf S That's the whole armor. That gap between the sheets of armour is a vacuum generator.
Laatikkomafia are you serious. its almost made of pure Stalininium. If you put your ear to the Superior communist steel you can hear the russian bias national anthem.
see mom, I'm studying math and physics
lol nice one 👏
Hehehe "Practical Math and Physics, too, not like those nerdy kids."
more like isis math and physics
Im questioning if this applies to human skin aswell...
Ans you get tips on pen
good to see that you are making videos for new players :)
I agree with you! Even though I'm not a new player and basically I remember every weakspot of every tank(obviously they are kinda easy but also you need to remember special ones like when shooting at VK 45.02 B you should go for the turret unless you are close enough to hit the machine gun port) this video was still helpful to me. I did not know about normalisation angels, well I knew they existed but I did not know the amount of how much they change the pentration and to which direction. And also I have for a long time wondered how much does penetration go down when hitting a fence or a car.
this was a nice one.. even if i have 12k battles :D the single thing that was LUL FOR me was shoting gold in a light..i never tought of such a posibility to shoot gold on a light tank.. cuz apcr is faster and loses penetration.. cuz lights dont have any armor! :) nice to know that
Basically yes. The ones that are hard to me are the upper plates of swedish Emil I, Emil II, and the Kranvagn but if I'm right Emil I is pennable but Emil II is only when looking above and same goes with Kranvagn. Of course I don't remember the small tier tanks cause I don't play them that much and there are only few tanks in tier 2-4 which have armor so I don't think I need to know about them. I don't know does it have any effect that I'm still quite young (under 16 over 10) that it was easier for me to remember them but the funny thing is that I actually was taking a break from WoT and I hadn't played in 3months then I saw a video and kept whatching them to this day and definitely I'm going to keep whatching them. Have a great day everybody😊
It would be better to see it actually works but it still doesn't.
Nice to see MS-1 got its revenge after all its abuse :)
_ Alex _ this cracked me up 😂😂😂
WG has just teached us to use MS-1 in Tier 8-10 Battle
They are always trying to beat themselves in idiotism and moronic behaviour. They are pretty close to achieve it this year!
This video wasn't idiotic, it's just saying you can pen anything if you aim properly.
Joshua Daniel yep
Joshua Daniel r
am i RIGHT? yep
I have only 2seconds until opponent reload and i die, what to do?😨
I will calculate T=h/cos(a) fastest as i can.
That guy in the video explains maths better than our school professor ^_^
it's so sad but so true XD
Math-not maths.
When we're having fun and applying Science to fun stuff, suddenly science isn't so intimidating, and we are motivated to learn it w/o the pressure.
@@sarahwatson7692 oooooh a wot gamer girl 😏😏😏
This is the kind of video that should not be in the news, but rather be shoved into your face every time you log into the game, until you reach a certain milestone.
Excellently done, now please keep em coming in a similarly appealing and educative fashion.
next video: How does it work: MM
there is a video about that ;)
XD
Dabric pretty accurate xDDD
it works like a drunk bastard...
maybe how doesnt it works :D i saw yesterday 13 heavies vs 6 heavies and etc
Summary: Just aim for weak spots
The Joker Channel even the aiming system is broke, even if its zeroed in, half of shot will go somewhere
@@vicmic4190 i guess you didnt see dispersion values then if you say something as dumb as this
Lobstep Gaming you know have 69 likes. Very wow such nice
Yeah, that should have been a given from the in-game tutorial. So far my biggest takeaway is I should be buying and using each ammo type, not just the cheapest/stock ammo.
What weakspots?
Brick wall: HE shell not pass
radioactive *t a n k*
Yeah, that's how HE works
As a trainee in vehicles animation and rigging, I have to learn about this too. Thank you guys for this series.
And then there are light tanks with super strong tracks that can withstand 268 and more mm. of penetration. Not to mention that some shells weigh so much that simply their kinetic energy will wreck half of the vehicles chassis. But that is none of my business...
Rady610 bullshit
Tracks getting blown off isn't about pen, it's the damage value. Also, if you want to pen, you have to hit the hull behind the tracks to do damage.It's a game too, so don't take it too seriously.
I don't know how many games you have played and what you have encountered, but if you want proof, let me send you a great deal of replays where the above mentioned game mechanics fail to work. What I meant is that light tank tracks acting as spaced armour "absorb" shells with high penetration values even when the trajectory of the shell is going through the hull of the vehicle.
Prove me wrong!
Rady610 Well show the replays.
Do you ever hate school math, but your technically watch math on your eyeballs right now?
8:32 Something was cut out here? I'm missing part of the sentence..
Yes, it’s a joke
Hetzer derp gun
it sounds like that but I think it is not..
he is speaking in a weird way.
"Using a higher caliber will allow."
@@lol-jv4ck actually its not weird its actually correct grammar
Mom: what did you learn from this game?
Me:
MS-1 OP must nerf, Dat .01 Soviet accuracy
neither is lol.
This is a very useful video. Thanks for uploading, and you should do more of these!
"The most powerful gun in world of tanks"
What about the Deathstar 183 mm gun with Hesh ammo? Or the 200 mm gun of the T92; the biggest gun in world of tanks?
My exact thought. Do these people even know their own game??
I bet that the average player knows more about the game than the average WG employee :P
Very true lol.
Maybe we should all start working for WG :D
the one is HE, the other one has .81 accuracy ?
Great explanation! Thank you!
It's very very good explained!! I love those formulas. I like that you show us methods of calculation for penetration and damage! These are very useful. Well done!
Thanks Wargaming for these useful videos! They are very important content for all players newborn or who want to specialize in the field of game mechanics, they are also presented clearly and with examples that many can easily understand. Keep it up and remember: the information gives experience ;D
I like how there’s a Cromwell running from an enemy tank in the outro ‘s map while the MS-1 is destroying the high-tier tanks
At 1:19 I suddenly thought "IT'S PALPATINE!" :DD
Armidas Do it
Me too
Do it
It's the second time I watch the video in 24h and I'm enjoying it as if it was the first time. Thanks for this video!
thank you for this i really learn how to peneturte evey single armor and to know with wich shel type to hit it thank for this video it was really helpfull
Thanks wargaming so much for these videos. Because I am new to the game :D And I am bad at it. But now I know more. These videos are actually very well made ! Big like.
How are you doing now? Far in the game?
great video
I really like this high quality video explaining somewhat complicated mechanics.
Please if you can make one on spotting or accuracy.
these videos actually help me to improve my game skills by a lot
now I gotta get My ms1 ready
man i dont understand the math but i can understand the mechanic of the shell
great video, the presentation of the video is really well suited. great work WG
It's nice your making this video for newer players, nice to see it. I'v been playing Wot for a few years now and even i learned something.
Trent who allowed you to be on the internet past curfew
Me before shooting: *calculating
After I can get a shot Im already dead
ummmm, what about hesh? there are more than 4 kinds of ammo
michael hellwinkle belongs to HE cuz it works the exact same
michael hellwinkle its He with better penetration...
I know what hesh is I've been playing for years, my point was just that there are more than 4 kinds of ammo. you'd think wargaming would get that right in a video they made about their own game
michael hellwinkle hesh IS HE
FFS, there are 4 TYPES of ammo
HESH IS NO TYPE OF AMMO
you say you know what hesh is..you clearly not.
Schmeksi Man isn't saying hesh is the same as HE with more pen the same as saying apcr is just ap with more pen? so maybe hesh isn't a 5th type of round but when explaining HE shells they should of mentioned then in my opinion
Extremely informative and interesting, to gamers and engineers alike. Thanks much for posting, WG Europe!
but a this is an awesome video series . gj keep them coming.
how to measure 60° by MS-1 xD 7:58
90*
no 60... its by ms1 not with ms1
9:12 β Total normalization measured in (mm) WTF???? :D
I would like to train with my friends if did this 😂
Next video : why does the Arty exist in WoT
It's unfair
Because WoT needs the money of players that like arty more than tanks .......
Hmmmm why Can.g We Had The BM-27 MISSILE Truck Should Be
*F A I R*
Please make another video, this has been extremely helpful!
Thanks for guide it really helps
really nice video, but i hope you will introduce the new overmatch mechanics soon because without it i dont really want to play the new swedish td´s
aren't they OP enough right now ? They have enormous camo, you won't get shot at if no one sees you.
Samuel Pasche only the tier 8 one has good camo...
tier 2,3,4,5,6,7,9 and 10 camo is trash..
maybe you should.check that befor you say a tank is OP
Samuel Pasche t8 has good camo but on many maps its useless thats why they need some armor
maybe this video means that they won't change the overmatch mechanic soon...
Why would they explain overmatch mechanics in a video and then change them soon after?
0:12 - Can someone tell me the name of the music? :) I've been looking for it for soo long :)
So nice tutorial ;) I love that awesome HUD effects :3
Thanks for the tips, never knew almost all of this studd
WHO ALSO HOPE THAT THE NOOBS WILL WATCH TUTORIALS???
PLS GOD F*CKING PLEASEEEEEEEE
Calm down...
i feel ya bruh
You are right. There are players that dont even know that WoT official website, XVM or CZcams exist.
FireStick Cz yeah xD
It won't help.
14:04 Wow gold noob uninstall
Next video please! this is getting exciting
One of your developers made an excellent image blog post about the exterenal and internal penetration mechanics, could you do a video explaining what happens after the shell has penetrated? Could you also explain crew and module damage fully in a separate video?
Cheers!
Can we get a rip for the Ms-1 on Blitz? It is now a collector tank.
I really hope more player read this instead of thinking I didn't penetrate him load gold round idea
nice video war gaming, now I know what to use in a battle where I´m the low tier.
Great video!!
In a certain physics class
Teacher : stop playing games😠
Me:(still plays,loses the match)😥😥😥😥
Also Me:(watching this video) 🧐🧐🧐
Teacher arrives and understand my situation 😑😑😑
Teacher: let me show you how the pro's do it. 😎😎😎😎
Teacher won the game😎😎😮😮😮😎😎
Me: how an old geezer beat me in my own game 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Moral of the conversation : always take your physics and maths teacher as your crew members.
When the comment is kinda good but they're using emojis
*[Confused screaming]*
I swear, scrolling past this comment for even half a second will take half of a person’s brain cells
OP ms 1 confirmed
Nice video. Continue in created How it work. Thank you
Im always up for leaning more on this game :)
*When student learns more to this game than teachers**
ok, now please make it mandatory for every non unicum player to watch these videos and take a test afterwards
if they fail dont allow them to go beyond Tier 5
elitist prick
It would be easier to fix the green/orange/yellow/red colored circle in the crosshair to work how it should.
shadow336k thats not what the likes of you say when i carry your sorry ass to victory... the only reason your win rate is 40% is because 40% of the time you get players like me in your team. Dirty peasant.
nice video
thanks for helping me understanding WoT better !!!
Good video man, please more :D
WRONG: This is how it works, hit Russian tank 50% chance to bounce, end of story.
😂
no they always bounce unless you sacrifice enouf political disidents to staling to get his blesing
the russian bias is real
Alastasian Knight No Soviet Union tank design better than American capitalist tank
Rachid Khamlichi you mean: hit russian tank, 90% bounce if penetrate then u hax, end of story
6:48 I dont even remember what I ate last night, how am I supposed to remember what I've learnt in the 7th grade? xD
well, it is a good condensed video to remember the mechanics, but is not new, they had already two videos about it a few years ago that helped me to love this game complexity compared to others :D
great work
"Every tank has its weakspots" ...oh yeah... I'm looking at you Japanese tanks
0:22
"Sometimes even this gun can't compensate for the outstanding skill of a player."
T26E4 just standing still waiting to be shot at...SO MUCH SKILL!
Necro Phil where to correctly place the shot is skill & the vid is for demonstration purposes.
Finally some useful videos! Please in the video include more text! Still a lot of unexplained mecanics are in the game like: how crew Xp is calculated and why doesn't it write in statistic about crew XP????
this is awsomeI like it you guys teach geometry and some strategic points and also teach how to acctualy destroy a tank
"Fun and Engaging mechanics".....
OP tier 1 XD
Thanks wargaming :) it helped me
Great stuff, more more more please
They told us the weakspots of the AMX m4
Nah no need to watch I'll just use my MS-1 and get 15 kills with only ap in tier 10
that T95 clip was badass! nice tutorial btw WG!!
Please more of those explaining vids!
i need to play this with my geometry teacher every time
MS-1 OP, plz nerf
This is so interesting!!
this video is by far one of the best ive seen made by WG
so thats why russian tanks have invisible space armor at the side. now it finally makes sense ( ͠° ͟ل͜ ͡°)
How does it work that you dont fucking pen light tanks in the side
The tracks sometimes absorb the shot
+Kek Man always*
1/ you can hit armor at extreme angle and armor is thick enough (e.g. 50mm) that you won't overmatch it with 122mm caliber and shell will ricochet - this is why LTTB or BatChat tends to survive some hits
2/ you can hit the gun with some chance of damaging or destroying it
3/ you can hit tracks below the tank's "belly" dealing just module damage (his tracks will turn orange, sometimes on both sides)
4/ you can hit viewfinder
5/ if shell hits tracks, it continues just one meter further. If angle is extreme, it won't hit hull behind the tracks
Cheers guys most helpfull :)
Really good Video! Please make a Video how HEAT and HE shells work!
So then.. how is dmg calculated ?
StrLab but the penetration values are also affected by RNG... are the pen and dmg ramdomized individually or together? this is what I would like to know
This is exactly why War Thunder is superior. No bullshit damage values, just realistic damage based on where you penetrate the tank.
One is a arcade tank game, the other is realistic, neither is better, different tastes, different audiences
Well, war thunder's damage is still random. The splash could damage almost anything in the tank. One tiny fragments can detonated the ammo rack...
D. Va Yes, but it's realistic randomness.
Please stop it with the memes.
nice work
Nice. Now could you please explain the possibility of a ricochet on Borsig´s turret side when shooting AP with JgPz E 100?
13:40 - "Remember to mount the most expensive equipment and consumables and fire premium shells", Yeah and give us your money! If you delete this comment again im gonna f*cking destroy you!
georgi vanev
you are just cherrypicking, he said that even if you do all of that you may not penetrate, that penetrating tanks is more on the side of using your skill and what you have, this comment deserves to be deleted, spreading misinformation and unjustified hate.
georgi vanev that is not what he said lol. he said even if u do it, u might still not pen if u r a noob and cant use the right shelltype at the right time to its full potential lol
I am very interested to know how you intend to destroy Wargaming
Georgi Vanev what a fking russian bias
try to pen an enemy O-I or O-Ni with 75 or 85mm gun..and after that, try to pen an allied O-I :) just an example of (no matter what they say, the truth is, always WG decide it there will be hit or not) RNG is a lie. It is DSG! DirectS*ckGenerator and it's a con-game, it is manipulated in every aspects
Cool and it well be even better if we have ingame videos about every single tank weak spots
Best video ever!
lol yeah BS a HE shell will not ricochet.
UNSCHACKETT yeah?
1st
No one cares :D
Rock GamingTV Well I do
...not care.
More explaining video please!
good information!
