- In this video, I explain how the tank shells in War Thunder work. There are quite a large amount of different ammo types in the game, and it's easy to get confused about them. I spent a lot of time with detailed explanations and animations to help you understand each shell in the game. If you don't understand a shell or you noticed something wrong with the video, please leave it in the comments and I'll try my best to help you guys. Massive thanks to the War Thunder Wiki for providing much of the information in the video. Check it out here: wiki.warthunder.com/Tank_ammu...
This video is probably the most time consuming one I've made. But hey, ammo types part 3.

Thank you for all the positive comments!
A couple of things to note:
-HEAT does not actually melt the copper. It just forces it through the armor.
-The reason APDS is better at angles is because it has much more velocity than APCR. This way, it can go through angled armor easier.
-Fins do not make a shell more aerodynamic or give it more velocity, it makes a shell more stable over long distances by stopping it from rotating. Because it's not spinning, the shell has a much lower chance of going somewhere else, therefore the shell is stabilized. Thus, shells with fins are better over distances than regular shells. (This is also why the shells with fins are called "fin-stabilized.")
-Due to a recent nerf, HESH no longer performs better when it faces angled armor.
-The shrapnel shell has many different names, but the reason I called it that is because in-game it is called shrapnel. The correct term would be fragmentation.
-🅱️esh
Thank you to all who corrected me :)
Another correction to add, if AP projectiles don't have an explosive filler then they are AP shot, not AP shell. Inert AP projectiles are shot, APHE is shell.
Small rounds next?
why the hell did they nerf HESH.
skDoger Actually, the copper is molten. It just doesn’t melt the armor.
@@hazardous458 nope, the temperature on the shell is not nearly enough to make the copper melt.

@@jlyngdoh5608 Also absolutely useless if the enemy is only mildly far away. I know they lose speed faster, but in WOTB it is just ridiculous how fast they lose their penetration. Also in Blitz like many premium shells they lose damage, which makes sense considering for most round types if you want more penetration then you need to loose damage to achieve more penetration, but I heard PC doesn't do that.
@@dawsonreum8096 it is, PC doesnt do that. That's why many T10 behicle with Good DPM is damn overpowered. And also note, APCR only effective against flat armor, it doesnt have much ballistic penentration.

@@discountskeletor3326 It's been kinda shit for a while and literally does worse against angled armor since the pen mechanics change, but it still is worth loading a shell or two because roof detonations will reenact dresden upon everyone in the turret, and you'd be surprised how common I have to do it.
@@jamesleon457 I think it's not very good because it doesn't actually act like it does in real life in game. Instead of actually squashing and fracturing interior armor, it's just HE with more pen.
Though, seeing as how tanks from the 60s-80s had "HESH nets" to catch spalling, making the shells less effective against vehicles from that era, you can see why they balanced it like that.

Yes, they get knocked out...or rather, they’re HEAD gets knocked off/disintegrated!
The L3 crew hit directly by a 38cm HE shell from a sturmtiger went through a "significant emotional event"
Just a quick correction because almost everyone gets this wrong, but in HEAT shells the Copper lining isn't melted
Instead the pressure from the explosive charge changes the Copper lining into a Superplastic, which is when the pressure causes the otherwise Solid Copper to act more like a stream of fluid, even though it is way below it's melting point and still a Solid. This is important because actual molten metal would just splatter over the armour and not achieve much, but a Superplastic will bore through the armour, since it retains it's Solid form Density. This is a very minor difference but it seems like 99% of people don't know this and just assume the Copper is melted, even though no HEAT warhead achieves temperatures or pressure anywhere near enough to melt copper.
Many people also assume that heat rounds melt over the armour
Thank you for telling me that I've literally never heard that and it's very epic.
Plastic deformation
LazyLife IFreak I’d be surprised if it was elastic
@@PorWik Ever seen a video of friction stir welding? Its the same mechanism. Pressure and heat forces the metal to behave as if plastic but no actual melting occurs.

5:14 Small correction.
Larger projectile length means greater penetration since the projectile is destroying itself by penetrating armor. Therefore, all modern AP shells themselves are extremely long and made of the hardest alloys such as tungsten or depleted uranium. Also, the amount of post-penetration shrapnel is directly related to the thickness of the armor the shell has to overcome - the thicker a breached armor, the more shrapnel it would create.
The rest is great video, very easy to grasp. Keep it up ;)
"hardest alloys such as tungsten or depleted uranium."
It's not really about "hardest" per se, a factor but not the greatest determining factor for penetration, it's the mass of either and depleted uranium breaks apart in a manner that helps it penetrate, the term for it is often call self sharpening but I've read enough to where it's pretty negligible or the terminology isn't accurate. Tungsten is the densest material but really expensive in comparison to depleted uranium.
Idk if in game the more armour overcame = more shrapnel was inplumented so far
@@NarutoMagicCyclops depleted uranium shells also fill the insides with radioactive dust, which can give any surviving crew, as well as anyone trying to interact with the wreckage without a respirator, very serious cases of lung cancer.
@@windhelmguard5295 As far as a quick search goes the health risks are controversial with no real evidence to support health risks. You can get lung cancer just from smoking cigarretes, which is common among military personnel as a stress relief.
@@mememetal6631 Spalling is an effect of hardened metal "splintering" in a sense, creating shrapnel, the thicker the armor the more likely a non-penetration may cause spalling depending on how fragile the armor is(typically harder metal is more fragile and thus spalls more often). A properly penetrating round more ideally should shatter to cause fragmentation inside the vehicle rather than causing spalling which in itself wont cause munitions to det, fragmentation would lead to round det.
You forgot that you can use Smoke as HE on exposed crew.
Okay next time ill play toptier with smokes
@@leonhenning8370 If you find anything with exposed crew.
Because it only does damage to exposed crew members like the low tier flaks
The small amount of explosive in the smoke shell is just enough to kill some crew. It's like a bundle of m80 firecrackers exploding someone's fingers off but its fired from a cannon and it comes with a bunch of white phosphorus smoke.

This shit easier than my math exam
As the Master Tanker said, when I first started I just looked at which shell penetrated the most armor on the picture lmao. I also used to pick the researchable shells because I thought, "Hey, if they made me research it, it has to be better than the default round." I used to die many times using APCR on light tanks.
In all fairness if you could hit the engine block it's gonna be disabled, in which case you might've figured APHE would pry the next choice of shot.
I knew it had less shrapnel.....I picked cause HIGHEST PEN.....not realizing how advanced war thunder was.(I actually just learned to sucked and it explains alot)
Use it on LVT(A)(1)s at their front cause those fuckers are hard to kill with APHE unless you aim for the ammunition.
anti concrete shell still seems to be the most effective round i have used thus far.
idk what it is but it seems to just kill everything if you hit your first shot.
sadly the KV-2 takes so god damn long to reload that you're probably not getting a second one.
Yes, someone who can explain to me with simple words. Thank you kind sir
Man the amount of searching I was doing to try and find an answer to the difference between the UK Mk. 4 and Mk. 8 shell. You explained it perfectly in 2 minutes. Thanks very much!
One correction:
HEAT shells don't produce molten copper, they just propell it at ridicoluos speeds.
Yes, at these pressures during impact the inverse jet of copper ACTS LIKE a fluid, but the same happens when an APFSDS shell hits armour.
Thank you for the correction!
4:24 the APDS shell has this fancy tip, which is flatter than the pointy-tipped APCR rounds and probably has some kind of normalisation function.
Thank you for the explanation!

also I used to be in the discord server but it seems to have disappeared and I can't join back.
did the KGB make me disappear?
(same with my friend)
I'm kinda confused with hesh in game, let's say the hesh had 150mm of penetration and hit a tank with 250mm of armour. Would the explosion caused by the hesh send shrapnel into the tank by breaking it's Armour or in war thunder does it have to full penetrate the 250mm plate??
@@CS-nq9sq
the explosive wouldn't be enough to vibrate the thick metal plate enough to cause it to rupture.
I think, don't quote me on that
@@hazardtrooper2791 ahh, thanks for the help.
@@CS-nq9sq HESH is not about penetration, it is producing shockwave in the steel plate and when this shockwave is at the other side of the plate it is starting to rip off small parts of it and they are flying with great speed into crew, ammo and electronics. That is one of the reasons why modern tanks have multiple layers of armor(HESH works nice only on old fashion armor that is made with single continuous layer of metal).
HEAT is all about penetration and contrary what is in the game you have jet that is doing damage just like it is implemented in game and something like 30% of force of the explosion outside of the tank is transfered into that small hole and presure wave is killing the crew and igniting the ammo...
Generaly in case of HESH thicker armor = less damage inside but in game it is more like 0-1 situation, you were able to "penetrate" or not.
7:44 yes fuccin finally!!! Shrapnel shell

@@jakobc.2558 I actually found use for it with my kv-1E. It had a really light fuse and exploded after penetrating, so I could use it to slaughter stuff with gun shields like the flak 88.
This was a extremely useful video for me when I started a few years ago, it let me have a good understanding behind each shell and what it actually does and what it’s good for which helped me a lot, thank you!
One thing you need to add to the APFSDS round is they are usually fired from smoothbore guns. The fact it’s not rifled makes that round travel faster. Because the round itself isn’t spun through rifling the fins are angled slightly to create spin thus stabilizing the round in flight and making sure it flies straight.

me who didnt play war thunder: i like your funny words magic man
This is an amazingly useful guide. The animations help so much. I owe so much to this guy for making this
HESH and HEAT are totally wrong in the game. When a HEAT grenade penetrates a target everything inside should be dead because of the hot gas and the rapid change of the pressure inside the tank.
Yes, an explosion on the outside with a hole leading to the inside isn't healthy for you xD
Even at APFSDS everybody would die. Watch a video of a 120mm APFSDS-T DM33 vs a leopard 1.
The pressure was so high, that the closed commander hatch blast open
Threnn the heat also just works as a laser but spaced armor worsens its penetration when it should disperse the heat stream as well
i used hesh yesterday in sim ( insanely hard to hit the target)
after penetrating the turret of a t 54 from the sides, it barely scratched 2 crewmembers.
Anessen i know. If you read what I wrote I said that heat in game is acting like it is a laser not irl
What about kv-2 and anti-concrete shells? 🤔
Its basically APHE but with extra boom to destroy bunkers thats what the kv-2 was made for anyway
Isn't HESH basically made for concrete bunkers? I learnt the British used that, plus few American tankers tested it too during WWII
@@panther7584 The KV2 was from 1939 so those probably didn't exist yet.
@@panther7584 AFAIK, HESH was developed at the end of WWII just like HEAT it struggled with reliable fuses. The fuse has to be sensitive enough to detonate before the shell shatters on impact, but shouldn´t get triggered due to the tremendous forces involved from shooting it out of the barrel, nor should it get destroyed in the same process... That´s why you need very sturdy electronics, just like with VT.
The advantage of HESH over HE is AFAIK that you can simply pack a little more explosive and that it minimizes the distance to the target, whereas HE can explode a bit further away or bounce off. The thicker shell produces shrapnell but reduces the explosive impact.
It's just a APHE with other name
Dont forget the HEFS rounds found in some russian tanks, such as t80s and t64s

Thank you very much!
APDS is technically a small APCBC round fired really fast, APFSDS has the same effect, the pentrator is encased with softer metal, that due to huge velocity has a high normalisation effect, basically APDS inside APFSDS
What? HAAAAAAaaaaa? The penetrator isn't encased in anything, it has a sabot which is used to make the very thin tungsten (super hard) penetrator fit into a large caliber gun. The sabot is discarded pretty much as soon as it the penetrator leaves the barrel thus the Armor Penetrating(or) Discarding Sabot. And APCBC (not APBCB dafuq is that?) is exactly as described in the video. It is a full caliber shell (fits perfectly in the barrel) that just happens a couple of fancy caps/tips attached to the front of the penetrator. Those 2 shells couldn't operate on more different ballistic principles as far as standard kinetic ammunition goes.
@@acywei find a picture of a fin sabot cut along the midline and you'll see that the penetrator rod is indeed encased in a bit of softer material l, together they make the dart, which is then located in the sabot
@@acywei not quite, find any video or picture of a dart and you'll see that the actual penetrator of the APFSDS is encased by the longer dart
thx man the are rlly useful these tips are going to change my gaming tactiques
Man thank you for this information now i can understand some kinds of ammunition in the game i was so lost when i started 1 week ago thank you
This is by far the most informative video on war thunder ive seen
Just a point, the cap on AP doesn't actually cause the shell to normalise in the hammer you describe. The soft cap actually absorbs some of the impact, decreasing the deceleration forces experienced by high velocity shells, thus reducing their tendency to shatter on impact to harsh angles. It's a bit counterintuitive but slowing down the shell actually improves it's armour penetration against armour.
The effort in this video💯
And comprehensible💯
Now I understand shell mechanics Thanks bro this'll help so much💯💯💯
I have whatched this video 4 times now. I learn something new every time.
8:15 the material in HESH tip is an inert material so that the HE filler in the shell itself does not detonate on impact. It is like a buffer of sorts. The base fuze detonates the filler once the HESH shell distributes its explosives across the plate.
Best video I've ever seen on this subject! Very nice!!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks! They really should have made the icons for the different ammo types more distinct from each other like you did in your video and not just display a shell with different colour bands penetrating armor in the same way.
This video was very helpful, thank you so much!
This helped me out SO MUCH, thanks!
I don't know where you people get this from, but HEAT does NOT creat a molten copper penetrator! The detonation isn't even hot enough to melt copper. The detonation just forms the copper cone to a dart which get's accelerated to like 8000 meters per second, where APFSDS Sabot travel at like 1800 or so. A physics law states, when a highly accelerated solid body hits another solid body, the one who gets hit behaves like a liquid. And I think this is where the misunderstanding comes from...
My bad, thank you for the correction.
If u have problem to pen tiger I or II without APCR just get IS-2 or some other soviet tank in mid-tier, heavy tanks have only aphe with penetration above 200mm, more than 100g of explosive mass, great armor, mobility. Oh and IS-2 is at 5.7 and jumbo is at 5.3 so if u have problem with it get IS-2 :)

This Fuel guy sounds like a sympathetic fellow. I hope that he isn't a massive simp or from California
The HE round on high tier russian tanka have some kind of fins, sometimes you can see it on the scope after firing, for a split second it leaves the barrel
9:20 HEATFS also has more penetration, because the projectile does not have to rotate for stabilization . The stream of molten metal doesn't lose energy by spinning anymore
4:50 the sharper angle on the sub calibration with sabot increases chance of deflection because it effectively increases the angle of the armour

Thanks dude. Awesome vid btw.. keep up the good work man .
Thank you very much!
Great video, not trying to be a dick but a little correction, you said fins help over long distance which is kinda wrong because the fins are there simply to stabilize the projectile since the projectile is so long it cannot be stabilized by using rifling, so like the fletchings on an arrow, the fins help to stabilize the long rod penetrator.
I wanted to make it simple for beginners to understand, but you are very correct. What I was trying to say was that the fins make the shell's path more predictable, therefore you can use it over long distances without having to worry about it going somewhere other than where you aim.
Oh ok, thanks for clearification o7
Thatho 50 not just the lenght, rifled barrels would have to be changed frequently because of wear, and so it is compatible with HEAT since a spin would make the jet thicker (because of centrifugal forces) thus a lot less penetrative (this why non-FS HEAT is rather bad)
DOOM DAVE except some post war heat wich is stabilized by spinning but I think the copper stream is spun the other way to neutralize it so as much Pen as an heat-fs shell. Like the one the amx 30 uses and also some Swedish tanks I think
Hilding Thurdin
I'm trying not to be skeptical, but may I ask how exacly is the jet spun the other way?

thanks for this video, it has taught me so much!
This is more interesting than my physics class
HESH used to do well against angled armor, but now I see it like every other round on the tooltips. Less pen with the higher angle. Did something change or is that some bug in the tooltip?
It changed
They nerfed it :((
@@BigBex it didnt change wtf
@@bobboo101 it didnt change wtf

Very informative! Thanks man
Thanks this is actually useful 👍
There is also armor piercing rockets from planes.
I think its kinda weird how The hesh round goes through The armor in The Picture
It's accurate though
