What happens when a tank shell hits another tank?

Instead, the HESH is a small, high-explosive round that smashes against an enemy tank then explodes, creating a shockwave that is transmitted through the tank’s armor, killing the crew inside. HESH rounds are still in use by some militaries around the world, including the U.S. Army.

Do tank crews wear armor?

Tank crews wear helmets because the inside of a tank has a lot of hard and protruding surfaces. An example of this is that during WWII British tank crews suffered more head injuries than their American counterparts. The reason? British tank crews wore berets and American crews wore padded bump helmets.

What happens if a he round hits spaced armor?

If the HE round impacts spaced armor, a second calculation (identical to the formula above) occurs for the underlying hull armor, however it uses the post-reduction damage as the nominalDamage, meaning the resulting damage is typically non-existent or very low. Now, if you didn’t understand all of that, don’t worry.

What are the different types of damage in World of tanks?

There are two types of damage in World of Tanks; Armor Damage, and Module (and crew) Damage. In this section we’ll focus on the former. Armor Damage refers to the type of damage most players are familiar with – the damage you deal to an enemy Tank’s health pool upon a successful penetration.

How is overmatch calculated in World of tanks?

When calculating Overmatch, the nominal armor thickness of the spaced armor is ignored and only the nominal thickness of the hull is used in the formula. There are two types of damage in World of Tanks; Armor Damage, and Module (and crew) Damage.

What is the effective armor thickness of an object 140?

If we take the Object 140, for example, we know its upper plate is 100mm thick and angled at around 64 degrees, giving it an effective armor thickness of around 228mm. We can check tanks.gg to confirm this. Using this information, our calculation would be: 100 / 64cos = 228.1172… Or 228mm when rounded down.
