Also: Why would I load normal shells with the StuG if there are special AP shells available for 10 lions (which is nothing) with higher penetration. Do the standard shells have any advantage other than cost?

APCR ammo in WT generally has a higher penetration but a smaller HE charge. You can check in the game: the APCR shells weigh less. It means that while you're more certain to penetrate, the shell will probably do less damage than a regular AP would have; because it has less destructive power.

Can someone explain me whether HE shells work in damaging tanks and their compartments? I used them some rounds on the StuG A as the penetration was quite unsatisfying. They seemed rather useless.

HE shells can work devestating against light vehicles. my PZIV could punch clean trough a BT-7 but when i fired a HE shell on the turret, it took out the entire crew in the turret and the driver aswel. Turret was also destroyed.

But firing HE against heavily armoured parts is not so effective, but it DOES do damage.

Thanks for the answers. The more I play, the more questions I have.

Is there a way to get new ammunition? It´s quite frustrating to keep your tank alive for 10 minutes, only to face the problem of it having no shell left and being useless.

Ugh, I have a little bit of hate for the SB damage model in tank battles, apparently ambushing a Stug IIIA and shooting it 4 times with 57mm Zis-2 is not enough to kill it, and the in just casually turn around and one-shots me.... Also killing 3/4 of the crew and setting the tank on fire is not enough to get a kill.
I need to start playing German tanks.

Soviet tanks are just as bad, T-34s and especially KV-1s are really hard to kill.

I had a battle at Kursk in my Panzer IV ausf. F earlier this morning, had 4 KV-1s (for some reason unaware of my presence) in my sights and it took me litterally over 40 shells (AP, APCR, HEAT... I fired everything I had) to their side armor to kill them.

In general the damage system seems random. A 75mm/L43 of the StuG with Pzgr 40 can´t seem to kill KVs even when hitting from 200m in perfect a 90° angle. Generally I think they overdid it with the effects of slope and angling your armor. Even realistically certain kills (StuG F hitting T-34 from 300m frontally) can bounce.

Also I saved about 500.000 lions with aircraft. So now I can spam Pzgr 40 (200 per shot), which is kind of retarded. The cost might be high for that tier, but it´s incredibly cheap if you are high level. They should limit special rounds to five.

Equip it and if you are hit there usually appears a message telling you to press the button "fire extinguisher". For me that´s on "7".

Might be that they still didn't bind action keys to default settings. Atleast in closed beta you had to manually bind 1-9 numbers to switch ammo, use arty and extinguishers.

Ok, I've just tried the Pz2 and oh boy it's fun! And I don't even have the pzgr 40. Spray those T-26 and watch how everything is broken or dead inside. Awesome

I wouldn't mind that (well, ok I do and I would) if the hits that DO penetrate would do something, because right now you roll the dice and hope for the best. ( I swear i had a situation where i shot at the enemy turret and got a "engine damaged" on him)

1 comment - RUSSIAN BIAS GAME!!! At least on first tier... With my Panzer II 20mm cannons, even with Pzgr.40 I can't do anything against UBER STALINWOOD tanks... I fired whole Pzgr.40 to this T-26 ass and it turned and shot me with 1 round... Seems legit...  ::)

Well, I bought this Sdkfz for 400 golf and at least gain more vehicle research points for doing nothing than my friend who shoot ~10 tanks each round with his first tier Panzer III :P
