Feb 26, 2023 · APCBC: Armor piercing capped ballistic capped. Has better pen, i believe velocity, can have HE filler, better angle performance, etc. Overall much better. The caps help flight performance and penetration

Jul 21, 2016 · 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!

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 ...

Jul 11, 2023 · 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 ...

Nov 12, 2021 · I beleive thats why APCBC is claimed to be a jack of all trades: it retains decent overall pen, CBC means better pen against angled armour as well as improved ballistics and the mass of the solid AP shell means that it can still create a fair amount of spalling damage upon penetration IMO, APCBC really is a great all-round shell.

Jan 18, 2025 · 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 ...

Jan 9, 2025 · 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

Mar 29, 2022 · 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.

Jan 9, 2025 · 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&hellip; Im currently in britain 5.3 br with the challenger and comet 1.

May 4, 2024 · the main armament of the Cromwell IV was the 75mm OQF mk.V. which is a pretty decent gun by itself, firing the same ammunition as the Sherman tank. the gun was having a penetration of 101mm at 100m with the APCBC-HE round. even if UK didn’t use the APCBC-HE round and used the modified M61 Shot whose explosive filler was removed, Israel have ...
