The American Explosive APCBC shells can be quite the crowd-pleaser at lower tiers though with their explosive mass killing most tanks in 1-2 shots, though lacking in penetration. APCR is great for heavy tanks and well armored vehicles that have flat armor, because of the shape of the shell however, sloped armor really throws it off and causes ...

2016年7月21日 · APCBC is the best, it combines the bonuses of both, then APC, because in this game sloped armor is a pain to get through, every bit helps. On a more personal note, you should get the comet asap, its a fantastic tank with apds which makes ammo racks look like fireworks boxes of fun lol. Great tank, and it teaches you the ways of the sabot!

2025年1月9日 · Im just curious, haven’t read up much about sabot and its uses historically. My Challenger and my Comets Sabot at 5.3 deals very little spalling compared to APCBC. I’d argue that Sabot feels almost useless unless you wanna snipe the enemy tanks gunner. But even then the same could be achieved with the Mk.8 APCBC rounds

2022年3月29日 · APCBC: this is generally the best ap shells, they combine the aerodynamic properties of apbc with the angled armor penetration of apc. Sometimes has explosive filler, only way to tell is by looking at the stats.

2023年7月11日 · Armour Percing Hight Explosive. Also available in APC, APBC and APCBC versions (see AP) These shells penetrate the target then explode inside it after travelling about 1.5m, generating a lot of shrapnel. They are slightly less effective perforation than APs (due to the explosive charge) but are the most effective shells in the game at low and ...

2025年1月9日 · After numerous games ive found that Sabot does comparatively less spalling than APCBC. Is it best to stick to APCBC from here to higher brs instead of sabot… Im currently in britain 5.3 br with the challenger and comet 1.

2025年1月18日 · I’ve recently come across these graphs when just doing random research. <details><summary>Graphs</summary>17 pounder AP 17 pounder APC 17 pounder APCBC</details> I decided to compare the graphs to the in game performance and this is what I’ve found. By using the WarThunder wiki calculator we can check the velocity that a projectile needs to travel at to achieve a specific penetration ...

2016年7月13日 · The correct term for the German shell would be APCBC-HE-T (armor piercing capped ballistic capped high explosive tracer) but in WT, all shells with cap & ballistic cap are just called APCBC. They do have different icons as well. See how the APHEBC has a little ballistic cap on the nose whereas the APCBC round's nose is completely covered by the ...

2024年12月15日 · War thunder now use DeMarre formula to calculate full caliber rounds’ penetrations. But DeMarre formula needs a reference shell as reference. The reference shell should be the same shell type as the one needs to calculate (Such as calculating the penetration of an APCBC shell, the reference shell should also be APCBC). Now, calculating American APBCs normally use standard pointed tip APBC as ...

2016年6月17日 · Along comes the ballistic cap (APCBC) - a thin metal cap over the front of the projectile to make it aerodynamic, but won't interfere with its penetration capabilities. So, why are there differences between APCBC, and APCBC FH? Well, the APCBC projectile behaves differently when penetrating face hardened armor (FHA) than it does when ...
