When your 90 mm tank destroyer shell doesn’t pierce a t34 armor in war thunder
T-34s are the bane of my existence
Hit just right of the barrel (not the side) like six inches. That will kill one gunner and the commander. Use a faster/smaller reloading round. Keep hitting the same spot. She will blow.
Russian bias is real

@Luis Cruz Great movie. I was impressed by it - better than anything similar coming from a major production company by far. You can watch it free on TH-cam.
a few of them would most likely kill or wound a crewmate cause of spalling fragments with a speed of 1500kph
Yep, Spalling Is Scary Indeed
If it’s heat / plastic mush head then it is only spalling because it is no ment
to penetrate
@@condorcircus323 well, plastic-squashhead shells are not to penetrate, but HEAT are cause the molten copper explosion is gonna penetrate into the tanks armor and causing spalling
@@rkkastarshina3989 "HEAT causes molten copper explosion inside the tank"
you: yeahh the most deadly part about that is spalling
@@danielsteger8456 I didn't say its the most deadly part but when the armor is thick enough there is gonna be spalling too
As a former tanker, I'm pretty sure more than a few of these killed, or at least badly wounded, crewmen with spall.
that for sure
Ex tanker too. Spall would do it.
3:17 I don’t know what your talking about, that radio operators fine!
@@drevil9554 yeah nice hull break... great welds btw
Yeah the spray of armor fragments would have been fatal
Often times it isn’t the bullet, it’s the shrapnel. Some of these were likely fatal, the shards of armour flying everywhere would’ve been a very unlikely thing to live through
I'm not sure you're using the right word. Shrapnel is purpose-designed small pieces of metal designed to be flung through the air when a shell explodes. I think you mean spall, which are pieces of the tank's armor that are produced when the inside face of the armor shatters from a HESH round or from ballistic impact. Modern tanks often have anti-spall armor inside the tank, spaced a half inch or so away from the metal armor, to prevent crew and material from being injured by it.
@@Krugster technically correct.... the best kind of correct.
@@Krugster If you research the history of the word and the history of explosive shells, it's not the right word. It's a word we've come to use out of laziness and a lack of knowledge, like the way people call a pistol's magazine a clip. But whatever, I'm pretty sure you and I both have better things to do than to argue on TH-cam.
yep - a lot of those shell hits would have f#cked a lot of the tank crew up.
@@Krugster it is more correct to say catastrophic spalling as the fragments are not part of a bomb, shell, or a frag grenade. spalling is when the armor of a vehicle is hit so hard that fragments of the armor are forced from the plate hit at speeds capable of injuring or even killing the vehicle occupant. those shells that penetrated but didn't pass all of the way through would have caused very large pieces of spalling to fly through the compartment.... anyone in the direct line would have been most likely killed out right. it is also why spall liners were designed to begin with
2:00: "Hmmm...Premium, regular, unleaded...Mortar? Let's try that one."
Another inch and a half and it'd have been even more interesting. I do wonder if anyone was in the car at the time of impact though.
Thats ao police stop criminals this days
we only served leaded. sorry. 😂
😂😂😂😂
Yellow stripe tells that it is not alive ammunition.
The crew was not so lucky even if the projectile didnt get through the armor, as its interior pieces and shrapnels would kill everybody inside the vehicle
I believe the term was "spalling"
Somtimes, its better for a Shell to go trough the entire tank and cause an overpenetration
Yeah, it isnt the tank shell that usually kills, its the explosion or the shrapnel
Let alone the pressure of the impact. That force has to go somewhere, And that somewhere is the crew inside.
This is what I call rng
When I was deployed in Iraq. I had two rounds hit my magazine that was inserted into my M4.
Destroy the mag and the loaded ammo hit the ground.
After I got cover I pulled out all the remaining pieces from the magwell. Then inserted another mag. Good to go. But it shook me after returning to the FOB that night.
Btw Can the magazine explode if it got hit ?
Thank you for your service sir.
@@snuckel4 no if its a tank shell yes
@@snuckel4 maybe if a round hit one of the primers but maybe if some fragments we’re moving fast enough that could set a primer off if it were to hit one just right
Sounds like bullshit to me
I would like to point out that the massive lump of armour flying off the other side is still incredibly deadly
Toby Wenman well said, just pieces of molten shrapnel bouncing around in the cabin would have been enough to disable the crew. People should look up the squash shot to see an example.
Yea exact same thing I'm talkin about shrapnel
It's called spalling!
Watch ya head
@@anactualalpaca7016 p0
A lot of these weren't in wartime, but during post war testing of equipment by the US and Soviet Union
Raaaa
Now you ruined it
And you know this exact information how?
@@bleu_chzst924 look at the last image at 5:08 showing the frontal plate of a Jumbo sherman . There are labels showing how the armor held up against certain guns of different calibers, many were not used by opposing forces such as the 90mm and 76mm (Panther had a long 75 I remember). I also doubt anyone would bother to label or know what rounds were shot from what range into the Jumbo during wartime.
3:15 is another test against a most likely captured panther - you see the labels as well from tests
another target by russian guns at 3:38 with labels showing caliber and range
@@ryanc5195 but that's just one image
"I like that these projectiles fired but they failed to penetrate armor... they will not keel..." *sad Doug noises*
but still deadly for crew
They still did cause a shitload of spalling though
@@davidj3841 guessing the joke went over your head, so I'll explain. The history channel has a blacksmith reality show called "Forged in Fire". Where blacksmiths are given a set amount of time to make certain knives or other historical weapons. One of the judges is named Doug and he performs the kill test. Most of the weapons are lethal where he gives a some criticism and decides whether the weapons are lethal. Because Doug is Asian, the way he says "kill" is pronounced "Keel"...

Basic Training, 1969. I was told that you'll hear stories that just don't seem possible. Combat taught me that sometimes, it just not your time to die. Sgt Joe, 101st ABN 11Bravo '69-'70.
One of my Uncles was a tanker in WW2, use to tell a story about how they were hit by a German anti-tank round that didn't explode and partially penetrated the crew compartment. He said the metal around the shell embedded in the armor was glowing red hot and they sat there staring at it in amazement thinking it would suddenly explode, then realizing they had to get moving before they got another hit.
Rotc instructor in highschool was a medic in nam. He was leaned over a casualty and took an ak round in the top of his steel helmet. He showed it to us, the bullet was stuck in it. An amazing war trophy.
Yeah, not sure if yall were aware but those pics with shells sticking through the armor would have killed most anyone on the inside of those vehicles. When metal has a great deal of kinetic energy transfered through it like that, the metal on the inside of the armor become the high velocity projectile, not to mention extremely hot. To give you an idea, for a relatively tough metal like 4140, depending on hardening and tempering process used, will usually have a shear strength of something like 60,000 psi. Meaning that for the shells to lodge in the armor like that means that the inside portion of the armor was broken off with at least 60,000 psi of energy. This aspect of armor defeating was actually developed further by a few nations, most notable GB. Their field guns, to include some tank and anti tank guns, used what is called HESH (High Explosive Squash Head) ammo who basically put a metal fracturing high explosive that specifically was designed not to penetrate the metal armor, but impart enough high velocity energy upon it to turn the armor itself into thousands of white hot projectiles inside the vehicle going in every direction, most notably into things that don't react well with white hot flying metal, like people, fuel, and other high explosives inside (think your guns ammo).
or just spall
Was thinking the same thing. Two objects can't occupy the same space at the same time, all that armor had to go somewhere.
Well put together comment
Cheers
Yes, but sort of no, HESH was not initially designed as an anti tank round, but as a demolition charge. As expected though, it was realised it could perform admirably against armour in the way you described, but it was most certainly not "specifically designed" for the purpose.
That and also it's fake (shells are inserted into pre-existing holes) since, the projectile get's deformed a lot on impact and all of those are intact, brand new warheads.

@@lsm_optix3176 those are fightin words partner
That may be true but ww2 was a war about attrition and the Soviets didn't have good quality control but had a large amount of tanks. That or *Russian bias*
@@atnorange5491 Russian Bias is real !
I thought this was made in like 2010 . Just such an old style of editing videos with the music and everything. Giving me nostalgic halo vibes
Some of those most certainly killed people!
Imagine yourself in a M4A1 Sherman, shooting at a Tiger II, without penetration. The Tiger turning it's turret to your tank.
Which is exactly why the us military in Europe asked Washington to stop sending them 75mm Sherman's and to instead give them only 76mm models
@@wewuzvikangz4829 even with the better 76mm gun , you cant pen a tiger 2 from the front. best pen at 500m with HVAP is ~147mm , front plate has 150mm and the turret 185mm. and the tiger could kill a M4 at 2000m , so i would flank that beast or get out and run away.
@@5co756 you also have to consider that Germanys late war steel quality generally was not very good, by 1945 they were scraping the bottom of the barrel on available metals so many tiger 2s actually didn't offer as much protection in actual combat as they did on paper. in fact the us army carried out extensive postwar penetration tests on german armour and they found that much of it was so poorly made that it could be penetrated by 75mm he rounds, but that's what happens when your about to lose a war and your desperate I guess, you use what you have
@@wewuzvikangz4829 yeah but most of the Tiger 2s were build in 1944 and you dont know wich one has bad or good armor. it's suicide to fight a Tiger 2 in a M4 , they ran out of molybdenum btw. the steel was brittle , at a hit it could hurt the crew inside. its called shrapnel i think XD .
@@5co756 all fair points, cheers m8
As an ordnance collector, I love these videos. I have some 20mm projectiles that struck one another and a small armor section with a stuck projectile.
"Ordnance collector" is just one case of bad luck away from "Darwin Award recipient".

Don't fuck with explosives.

Good one, yes indeed.
One of the coolest vids I've seen
Even though the shells didn't explode, the Spalling from the shot injured people at the least
You are right, also some of the photos are actually penetrations
I'm sure some of these photos weren't even during battle but were rather test of munitions and tank defences.
Some of Them couldve been AP.
@@MisterChernobyl Even if they didn't penetrate you know how much force is behind these rounds. Alot.
@@briskt648 Yeah, that is very true, the british are very into this kind of a shell.
Just the level of sound in a tank being hit would rupture your eardrums I think.

can you tell us where it is in the video?
nvm founds it at 2:05
What's his name
I love how everybody in these pictures is like "you know what's a really good idea is to stand directly next to some UXO"
2 moments that should have been included in the video: A mine hit the fighter's shoulder (the mine didn't go too far) and a video where the fighter gives bullets from his forehead (in my opinion, Chechnya, if I remember correctly)

This deserves more likes.
Soldier: hey m4 you may have lost a track

The shock wave from a lot of these un exploded or unsuccessful penetrations killed many for sure way to much power while inside a nut shell bunker or tank .

Las puntas ni golpes tienen esto es arte...
The tank 1:07 deserves a medal. I wonder how the occupants fared.
It's important to mention that though most of these rounds didn't go all the way through they could produce spall, which could kill crew members still. In fact the KV-2 had a concrete projectile, which usually never penetrated the outer armor of a Tiger tank. However, the caste interior of the Tiger would detonate into spall from the shear muzzle velocity produced by the KV-2, killing the crew with shrapnel from their own vehicle.
@David Hendry lol I wrote this with my phone thanks, I fixed it.
The KV2 was never meant to go on tanks, it was a bunker-buster.
@@tobiasburen8340 I'm well aware of what the KV-2 was issued for, however, I am also well aware that they did see combat several times verses enemy tigers with great success. Was it designed for the task no, but it was combat tested.
@@tobiasburen8340 I used the KV-2 as an example for spall, because it wasn't designed for killing tanks.
It's incredible how one of the strongest armours meets its end by one of the strongest weapons. Not many things can pierce a tank armour, but a tank shell could in most cases and even if it won't pierce, it will still rock the people inside hard or kill them
Front of the IS penetrated?! BLYAT!!!! Looked like a modern round target practice. The front of the IS is nuts. The IS might be the best tank lineup
Modern smoothbore rounds made steel armor obsolete in the 60s. Between soviet and us tanks, first shot first kill. Today they are advanced composites. We can shoot eachother multiple times nkthing will happen to the crew.

Yea. I feel like i wonna know it story. Lol
Being stationed at Kirkenes, I saw tons of Soviet bombs stored where the old Nazi encampment used to be. Additionally there were standing orders to call the cops immediately if you found anything resembling unexploded ordinance around the place. Earlier this year, a hangar at the local airport blew up from an previously undetonated WWII bomb that somehow got triggered. Nobody got killed, but it ruined a chopper stored in there.

Those will buff right out.
What's mind-blowing is seeing those big rounds gone almost right through such solid steel, damn!!. Oh, and the lucky buggers that were shot, but deflected the bullet with something they were wearing.
I talked to an old p-47 pilot a few years ago and he told me about his friend "mole" who received an unexploded 88 flak shell through the base of one of his propellor blades with only a few mm on either side, he made it back to base safe that day but sadly didn't survive the war. They called him "mole" because he was always sleeping in his bunk.

My dad was born in 1921 so he was still young when he volunteered. He was among the first invasion and was there till the end. Luckily he survived, but like anyone who came back home they were either physically or mentally wounded. In most people it was both. When it comes to a mere miss my dad was extremely lucky otherwise I wouldn't be telling you this story. While trying to take a local village they were pinned down by German machine guns and rifle fire from a position on a ridge above. During this fight my dad was wounded in the head by a bullet. The shot came through the front of his helmet on the left side just above the lower brim as dad was looking up at the hill. Luckily the bullet only grazed his skull but it tore through the flesh from his hairline at the front and exited just above his ear on the left side. During the heat of things dad didn't realalize he was hit that bad and one of his buddies beside him had to get him help. After a very short stay in field hospital for clean up and stitches dad insisted on getting back into it. Later after dad came home some people said he should have kept his old helmet instead of the new one he was issued. Dad would always say. why would I want to keep that old thing, it had a hole in it. The helmet is gone but it left a large scar on dad's head which only became more obvious as he grew older and his hair thinned out. They say close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades, I guess that may be true to some degree but dad was playing for his life and the lives of others. Luckily the opponent missed. Stay safe my friends and God bless.
