@samoerai6807 So adjusting for inflation during the war tungsten topped out at about 56k USD per metric ton in today's money. This would mean he fired over $2,700 worth of an important strategic material before considering any manufacturing and other logistics costs. Not quite Heavy Weapons Guy numbers though.
APCR angled performance in theory shouldn’t be great, it’s made of tungsten carbide which automatically will make its angled performance not great, and the cores typically are not the heaviest and because of this, deflect upwards into the plate… That was a terrible explanation, my apologies, let me try again, using tungsten alloy projectiles as an example (used in later APDS and APFSDS) Alright, so, when a tungsten alloy projectile impacts an angled plate, first, it will begin to deflect to the same angle of the plate, really the route of least resistance… However , if the plate is thin enough, when the round gets close to perforation, it will do something interesting, it will begin to experience more resistance if it were to keep deflecting upwards, and less resistance if it were to perforate the plate. You can think of this like a sort of pushing effect, when the round gets to this point, the resistance from continuing upwards is much greater than if it were to basically normalise and start going opposite of the plate angle, and perforate the rear of the plate. Now keep in mind, if the plate it was hitting was- let’s say infinitely thick, this effect would not happen and the round would keep deflecting upwards. Now, because tungsten alloy mushrooms, this effect is exacerbated, and hence, that’s why tungsten alloy is so good at penetrating angled plates. Tungsten carbide follows a similar initial path, but, because it keeps its shape, it doesn’t blunt like tungsten alloy, and as such, can more smoothly glide though the armour, sure this means it can penetrate lots of steel; but, when it comes to an angled plate it doesn’t experience nowhere near as much resistance as tungsten alloy and instead will mostly keep deflecting upwards until the very end; hence why the angled penetration of tungsten carbide is quite poor… Now, this effect is why APFSDS is so good at penetrating angles, and also, keep this in mind, no matter the projectile, it will always always deflect upwards if the plate it is hitting is too thick for it to get close to perforating. Normalisation occurs because of this effect of a shell getting close to perforation alone.
APCR was kinda bad at angles, the core breaks apart easily. But it shouldn't be THIS bad, and it should also y'know... do damage. A shattered tungsten core entering a tank is going to do more than just slightly injure one guy.
@@Creepus_Explodus it does, but the main reason for it suffering with angles is the reason I mentioned prior A shattered core will still retain its kinetic energy in armour, and keep penetrating Its when it perforates a plate, and then has to hit another that it falls apart since now it’s a cloud of dust that has spread out, so it will obviously be rubbish at penetrating spaced armour As for doing damage, absolutely, gaijin REALLY needs to fix this…
@@Creepus_Explodus To be honest old APCR shells used tiny amount of tungsten, and what little they had had to be wrapped in a soft stuff to survive the hit because of bad purity. It's kinda easy to forget it sitting on the moon gravity mountain of metalworking achievements. Good ones were good, but mass production stuff was HORRIBLE.

Remember when a pershing shot a t-34 during korean war and round went straight through the entire tank longitudinally? Me neither, american cannons being deadlier than similarly sized german ones? Youre delusional
I mean it's funny being able to oneshot a Tiger II through the front of its turret, but if you're not fighting against a 6.7 German team spamming them they yeah they're not great
The funniest thing about the 76mm APCR round is that everything you can’t penetrate with APHE you still can’t penetrate with APCR. Just an all around horrifically useless shell. At least 90mm APCR can bonk KT2H turret faces in an emergency
The biggest problem with APCR and HVAP is that Gaijin refuses to do simple ricochet calculations on the rounds post penetration and the spall. APCR and HVAP historically punched through armor, then bounced around the inside of tanks turning the crew into chipped steak. (There's also the issue of most solid shot rounds having lower penetration than in real life, *COUGH* T33 *COUGH*, but that's beside the point.)
T33 my beloved, can't believe that gaijoob still hasn't fixed US APBC. It's the only reason I'll never play the US again, knowing what could have been...

1:58 love how that round bounced off the front and into the barrel, but no damage done to the barrel. I still remember hearing an account of a Panther tank shooting at a Sherman during the Bulge, one of the Panther's rounds richocetted of the Sheemans front plate into the gun barrel and destroyed the barrel. You never see that happen in War Thunder. Instead I have rounds bounce off the gun barrel into the upper front plate of tanks, and that's only if the barrel doesn't eat the round while taking no damage.
Day 22 of telling spookston to play the IT1. its a ATGM launcher on the t62 chassis, it has decent-ish mobility, the turret is squished. You can hide behind cover and shoot ATGM over the cover like a gremlin and you overpressure tanks (tho it can be rare, but it does happen without you realizing) and its MG is really werid. Also it has a cool reload animation.
I still have to get why once the launcher on that thing gets destroyed it can’t be repaired anymore, It ain’t exactly fun to fight off tanks with only a LMG
Im so glad i almost always research HVAP at the very end for the RP boost. Also spookie i wanted to mention that ive been sick for the past week and stuck at home, youre videos have given me some good laughs (leading to hella coughs) while ive been getting over it.
Vanilla AMC.34YR... The shell had a fuse set higher than it had penetration, and it had no penetration. Some dumbass in an M2a2 could speed up on you and 50cal you.
11:50 It's crazy how this game went from being known for it's oneshots and low TTK to punishing people trying to get oneshots. Even if it's APCR; especially because it's APCR, since it has no reason, other than gaijin's imaginary 'balance', to be so low-damage
Being able to watch your videos and see the improvment in quality is great, I'm glad you're still improving. I still greatly enjoy your videos, even after Navy Bootcamp so keep on doin you man, great shit. Hope you're doin well and I wish you a good day.
Day 2: Make a lineup of tiny tanks that are completely obscured by bushes You've already done the CAS speedrun. There's no shame in being a bit more shameless.
Gotta love this BR range in the first match. In which nearly every tank seen is a Tiger 1 outside of the Italian player desperately trying to save the match.
5:03 This actually makes a lot of sense, since a round can have different penetration values depending on what cannon it was shot from. Like DM33 has less penetration on Leo A5 than A6, or Pzgr 43 has less penetration on Sturer Emil than Maus
Here is a tip in terms of amount of ammo. Go by how the ammo is stored. If you have 20 shells and you have a bin that is half full, you might as well fill the bin. Have a bin that is missing 1 round? You can add another round in. Do this per tank though if you want to optimize it. I went through an optimized my German tree and here are a few highlights. I can bring 29 on a PZ-4 H. On a Panther A I found out it was 30. Tiger E it is 28. Tiger 2 H you want it only in your Turret because the next ammo rack filled is front left facing and easy to hit. So you can't bring more than 23. These are just a couple but I went through and did this for my entire tree and it has helped with bringing extra rounds or learning about weak points on my tank. If you want to go this far, I suggest using the Test Drive as you can come in and out to check the ammo and where it is stored.
I still remember grinding my JPZ 4-5 from zero to hero back when ive played WT. 1. After i was done, i skipped m48, because its starting round was APCR. 2. Glad i dont play WT anymore, so i wont have to deal with APCR or anything similar ever again.
Tiger E APCR is actually really useful, since it'll allow you to pen a Jumbo's gunner optic within 6-800m, killing their gunner instantly and allowing you to aim for a better shot on the turret ring with APHE without worrying about your barrel evaporating. Its always hilarious to see the moment of realization from overconfident Jumbos when their gunner dies.
when i was a kid playing war thunder, the only shell i ever used was the one with the biggest pen because more obviously meant better. you can imagine my pain when i played with almost exclusively APCR doing no damage to anyone and wondering why before getting obliterated by APHE
I keep thinking I am going to wake up from this nightmare, then I realize these leaky anuses are for real. I can't even with this global insanity these days.
and after you hit the weakspots, they cry and try to nerf APHE so that hitting those weakspots does no damage. I'm not going to say names but you know which country those whiners play...
5:06 this makes sense, though. You won’t get the same muzzle velocity out of an AMX-13 as you will out of an M18 since they have different guns but the same ammo.
You know, there was a time when APCR was OP in WT, and so Gaijin just took and obliterated it. Since then APCR hasn't been touched. There was also a time when HEAT-FS was this magic OP shell, the best in the world, close to it's IRL performance, and then it was, again, nerfed; and then the same thing with APDS. Now we wait for APFSDS and APHE to be nerfed, and this game will finally transform into WOT
when i started playing this game i didnt really know anything about different ammo and played the entire US tree up until heatfs was standard with apcr

You can add another round in. Do this per tank though if you want to optimize it. I went through an optimized my German tree and here are a few highlights.
I can bring 29 on a PZ-4 H. On a Panther A I found out it was 30. Tiger E it is 28. Tiger 2 H you want it only in your Turret because the next ammo rack filled is front left facing and easy to hit. So you can't bring more than 23. These are just a couple but I went through and did this for my entire tree and it has helped with bringing extra rounds or learning about weak points on my tank. If you want to go this far, I suggest using the Test Drive as you can come in and out to check the ammo and where it is stored.

I love those little historical fun facts of yours! They show how War Thunder is pretty damn realistic and yet not at all
I still remember grinding my JPZ 4-5 from zero to hero back when ive played WT.
1. After i was done, i skipped m48, because its starting round was APCR.
2. Glad i dont play WT anymore, so i wont have to deal with APCR or anything similar ever again.
Tiger E APCR is actually really useful, since it'll allow you to pen a Jumbo's gunner optic within 6-800m, killing their gunner instantly and allowing you to aim for a better shot on the turret ring with APHE without worrying about your barrel evaporating.
Its always hilarious to see the moment of realization from overconfident Jumbos when their gunner dies.
when i was a kid playing war thunder, the only shell i ever used was the one with the biggest pen because more obviously meant better. you can imagine my pain when i played with almost exclusively APCR doing no damage to anyone and wondering why before getting obliterated by APHE
"Skill issue, learn to aim at weakspots!" - Average forum interaction when mentioning how bad some shells are
I keep thinking I am going to wake up from this nightmare, then I realize these leaky anuses are for real. I can't even with this global insanity these days.
and after you hit the weakspots, they cry and try to nerf APHE so that hitting those weakspots does no damage. I'm not going to say names but you know which country those whiners play...
"APCR Sucks! Don't use it!" Proceeds to annihilate the entire enemy team
5:06 this makes sense, though. You won’t get the same muzzle velocity out of an AMX-13 as you will out of an M18 since they have different guns but the same ammo.
13:21 Graphic representation of the death of Michael Wittmann
frensh 1.0 tank :" at least we got.... stabiliser and -20 of depression"
I think Spookston should legally be allowed to bring a plane for CAP in any challenge/painful vehicle video
That shot at 14:23 is probably the most egregious I've ever seen in War Thunder lol
4:53 you can tell that IS-2M noticed you because of his DSHK turning to face you

Me laughing when the murderer uses full metal jacket and not hollow point so my kidney only turns yellow:
That VK surviving the bomb seems to be another example of a little bug going on in the game.
I love to see spookston edit the rules mid game in these videos.
Everytime spookston plays a horrible vehicle:" this is actually going surprisingly well"
Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should 😆
love to come home from work to a new video from the dawg
I have no idea why it says "was ist das" on that tank but your use of it was accurate
You know, there was a time when APCR was OP in WT, and so Gaijin just took and obliterated it. Since then APCR hasn't been touched.
There was also a time when HEAT-FS was this magic OP shell, the best in the world, close to it's IRL performance, and then it was, again, nerfed; and then the same thing with APDS. Now we wait for APFSDS and APHE to be nerfed, and this game will finally transform into WOT
I feel like if the round directly hits a crew member, it should kill him.

“Allow me gentleman” 😂
Here's a challenge: M4 Sherman in Korea era BR with a full historically accurate ammo load
Whenever spookston does the whole “oooo ooo ooo” I can’t help but think of monkeys
14:22 bro's lost his mind now he's losing his mind parasite too
when i started playing this game i didnt really know anything about different ammo and played the entire US tree up until heatfs was standard with apcr
You're able to go onto the flank of that Eastern Europe map(06:27) because they changed the cap and spawn point layout.
this is like playing "Spot the weakness" but you get no retries for each failed attempt. Cause you'll die most of the time
