Shell Animations in War Thunder

In the past, many new players did not know how different ammo types work. The only way to find out was to either Test Drive or go to Battle and watch the hit camera. Now that the Shell Animations in War Thunder have been introduced, player can now take a look at them in the hanger.
If you go to the modification tab of any ground vehicle and hover your curser over different ammo types, these animation will show up in addition to showing other parameters.
Hope you enjoy the video. If you have any suggestion or question, do write it in the comments section.

After all these years I finally understand how the shrapnel shell works

[@homiespaghetti1522]

If only it worked as well as it looks

[@jakobburg8309]

Still pretty sure it's implemented wrong in-game. That may be right, but I've only ever known shrapnel shells to be used like they were in WWI. They would've been fired at a high angle before bursting at predetermined distance above the ground. The bursting charge would have released the shrapnel so the momentum of the shell's travel could do the rest and keep carrying the shrapnel down like a shotgun. Think a long distance canister shot. You can see old footage of them over no man's land. Get a burst in mid-air then the puff of dirt when the ground gets torn up. The way they showed it here is new to me, and the Soviets were the only ones to have their tanks be able to fire them. Even artillery dropped the use for the most part by WWII. I just assumed they worked the same way as the artillery's did

[@destrylett1619]

@@jakobburg8309 sounds like you are describing a fragmentation round, which is just HE with ball bearings inside, the shrapnel doesn't even have an explosive charge I don't think

It penetrates armor, explodes while releasing a cloud of arrows, flips over the tank, transforms the tank crew into rabbids and turns the surrounding grass pink.

[@connorcolquhou5845]

Lol I don't know why they portray it in the game as something meant to pierce armor. In real life it just explodes outside of the armor and causes a massive shock wave meant to knock out the crew of a well protected vehicle.
It does knock out the crew in the game quite a bit actually but it was never meant to kill just disable.

[@thorinth3079]

@@connorcolquhou5845
1) Any high explosive round will break/destroy nearby components due to the shrapnel and shockwave
2) You consider killing the crew not destroying the vehicle?
3) the whole point of 🅱️esh is to find a way around piercing the armor to kill the crew and damage the inside components
4) who cares it’s 🅱️esh

It's not made for penetration, it's made for destruction of walls, used against infantry, and used on artillery to cause mass destruction.

[@theleva7]

I like how in animations of different AP shells penetrating sloped armor, shells actually start to turn away from the armor plate. A nice touch that helps to understand sloped armor effectiveness better. Viewports on T-34 driver's hatch and machine gun ball mounts are still annoying AF though.
