TheKroo: I recommend reading this, it will really clear your dilemma.    Shell Types Armor Piercing (AP) Shell This shell does the full damage listed on the gun specifications if it penetrates the enemy's armor. However, if the shell doesn't penetrate the target, it will bounce and do no damage whatsoever. It can also damage tank modules and crew if it hits at the right spot. AP shells are subject to normalization and lose some penetration value over distance. AP shells normally cost credits; however there is one AP round type, used by Soviet artillery armed with the 152 mm BR-2 gun, that must be purchased with gold. Armor Piercing Composite Rigid (APCR) Shell This type of ammunition has the highest penetration value (thanks to being subject to normalization), but the damage value is the same as an AP shell. It still has the AP shell characteristics, with slight twists. APCR has a higher muzzle velocity than AP, meaning a shell leaves your gun at a higher speed (resulting in less "leading" of distant moving targets), however APCR also loses much more penetration value over the same distance as AP. Generally speaking, low caliber guns such as a 57mm gun will lose penetration at a much faster rate than high caliber guns such as a 120mm gun. At the very high end of tank gun calibers, the penetration lost over distance is so minute that at the same range as AP, APCR will still have, or at least have a similar, penetration value as AP. APCR shells normally cost gold. However, 7.5 made APCR shells the standard ammunition used by the new tier 10 medium tanks. Additionally, 8.2 made APCR shells the standard ammunition used by the 76 mm Gun T185 cannon, which can be mounted on the T71 American light tank, and the T69 American medium tank. They cannot use AP ammo at all, and instead can purchase this ammo using credits rather than gold. Tanks whose guns default to APCR are also not subject to the same penetration loss over distance as premium APCR, but still have the higher muzzle velocity. High Explosive (HE) Shell This shell has the highest damage value among all the shell types in the game, but also has a very low penetration value. These rounds have a very small splash damage area. It doesn't need to penetrate to damage the target, but the damage drops off quickly as the difference between the target's armor and the shell's penetration value increases. If it manages to penetrate the armor, it will explode inside the tank for the full damage listed in the specifications, plus HE deals additional damage to multiple internal modules and/or crew, depending on how high the HE damage value is. HE shells typically have a maximum damage value 25% higher than AP shells, rounded to the first significant figure. Premium High Explosive (HE) Shell Found in some SPG guns, it has no significant difference to its HE counterpart other than a larger splash-damage radius, which can be very useful for hitting tanks just behind cover that can not be hit directly. Rounds with this icon cost gold or the equivalent in silver. 
  High Explosive Anti-Tank (HEAT) Shell This is the Premium ammunition for most SPG-class, tank howitzer, and many high tier tank guns. It carries a higher penetration value than AP, but unlike AP and APCR, is not subject to normalization, and therefor must penetrate the effective armor value at the given impact angle, meaning HEAT will have trouble with very thick, sloped armor more than AP and APCR. However, also unlike AP and APCR, HEAT does not lose penetration value over distance. FAQ: When should I use AP or HE? The general rule of thumb is; use AP on your own tier and below and HE for tanks higher than you, but this depends upon your gun: some are designed to use HE. Guns like the KV-2's 152 mm M-10 gun use a large caliber round, but have a short barrel length. The large caliber of the shell is substantial and carries a generous amount of explosive-compound within, thus causing more damage. The drawback is the shell leaving the gun will have a relatively low velocity because of the short barrel length and thus, low armor-piercing capability. When you factor in the poor accuracy and range, it's simply a waste to use AP shells with this type of gun and HE should be used exclusively. It is also highly recommended to use HE when attempting to reset a cap. You do not need to be as accurate with HE as a hit anywhere on an enemy tank will most likely cause even a slight amount of damage, and any damage, even if it's only a single hitpoint's worth or damaging a module, is enough to reset a tank's acquired cap points to 0. Even a near miss with HE could cause some module damage via splash. Since 8.1, gold ammo can now be bought with credits/silver. In most cases, APCR and HEAT will be much more effective at dealing with higher tier tanks than HE, which will most likely only deal very minor damage and serve only to tickle higher tier tanks with thick armor. However with APCR and HEAT, you will most likely be able to abuse weakspots your gun would otherwise need extreme angles to penetrate. Try experimenting with different ammunition to see what your gun's capabilities are on certain tanks. When mounting tier 6 guns and higher, you should consider using AP and APCR/HEAT more frequently, as these guns have enough penetration power to damage most tanks if you know which tank and what part of the tank you should aim for.

Gepard_PH:   To zależy nie tylko od kolorów graczy, ale też od składów drużyn, mapy. TD ustawiają się zazwyczaj w konkretnych miejscach, jak masz ich dużo to pojadą w większości w jedną stronę. Dołóż do tego kilku noobów, którzy jadą za "wszystkimi" i masz piękny lemming train. A co do zawracania, no to sorry, ale nie będę się np. T34 pchał między budynki, jak w drużynie są ruskie ciężkie, wolę pojechać tam gdzie mogę postrzelać zza wzniesienia. I mało mnie interesuje co reszta o tym sądzi, mówiąc szczerze. Wybieram optymalną strategię dla swojego czołgu.

Gepard_PH:   Zacznijmy od tego, że oficjalnych informacji jest sporo.   Celownik W przypadku celownika mamy do czynienia z rozkładem normalnym. Szczegółowo wyjaśnione jest to na wiki: http://wiki.worldoftanks.com/Battle_Mechanics#Accuracy_and_Dispersion W skrócie wygląda to tak, że jeśli celownik pokazuje kolisty obszar ograniczony celnością działa, np. 0,32m/100m, to ok. 68% strzałów wyląduje w środkowej części (o średnicy równej połowie średnicy całego celownika) mającej powierzchnię 25% całego celownika, a pozostałe strzały trafią w pozostały obszar celownika zajmujący 75% powierzchni całego celownika.   Moduły Mechanika uszkodzeń modułów, w tym pożaru silnika opisana jest na wiki: http://wiki.worldoftanks.com/Battle_Mechanics#Module_and_Crew_Damage.   "prawdopodobieństwo uszkodzeń podczas penetracji" Nie ma czegoś takiego. Strzały, po których słyszymy "to musiało boleć", a pojazd nie otrzymuje żadnych obrażeń nie są efektem losowania, a konkretnych zasad. Więcej na ten temat jest w tym temacie.    Jeśli chcesz polemizować z którymkolwiek z powyższych stwierdzeń/wyjaśnień, musisz na podstawie własnych obserwacji (tzw. subiektywnych odczuć) postawić jakąś hipotezę, np. "rozkład celowania nie jest normalny, a liniowy!". Następnie przeprowadzasz eksperyment, opisujesz jak go powtórzyć (żeby każdy mógł sprawdzić sam, nie musząc wierzyć Ci na słowo), patrzysz na wyniki i stwierdzasz, że wyniki potwierdzają Twoją hipotezę albo nie. Następnie zakładasz temat na forum, wszyscy wpadają w zachwyt, biją Ci pokłony i zgarniasz gadziliard plusów.

Hunter1911: Ja sam primjetio zanimljiv trend s novom mapom; vecina igraca se zaputi u sredinu, uglavnom se sretnu tamo negdje, krene opca pucnjava, svako svakoga i nakon minutu-dvije se zna pobjednik. U krajnju ruku, zabavno za gledati.

SergeantBaba:

Gepard_PH: Nikt nie lubi dostawać w łeb z powodu braku umiejętności reszty drużyny. Nawet jak nie gra dla statów.   A poza tym przypisywanie konkretnych cech czy zachowań różnym grupom (pomidorom, żółtym, fioletowym itd.) jest bez sensu. W każdej grupie graczy znajdą się nerwusy, mądrale, gaduły albo ludzie, którzy po prostu mają akurat zły dzień.

Tanatoy: Le code est utilisable jusqu'au 31 janvier 2014, vous pourrez donc le rajouter à votre compte sans souci ! 

Tanatoy: Parce que normalement, elle n'était sensée paraître qu'aujourd'hui ! N'oubliez que pou activer ce code qui vous ajoute 3 jours de premium sur votre compte, il vous faut vous connecter sur le portail, puis cliquez sur "Entrez le code bonus". 

SergeantBaba: Thema erledigt 

SergeantBaba: Sehr nette Aktion 

Tanatoy: Parce que le coût en or (le prix de base donc) du Lowe est de 12500, que celui du FCM est de 11900, ce qui explique la différence après les différents calculs.

SergeantBaba:   Siegerehrung wird Morgen erfolgen, da Ich mich danach im Urlaub befinde

Tanatoy: Bonjour Raphael,   Je te conseille de faire un test pingplotter pendant que tu joues comme il est indiqué sur cette template qui est à envoyer au support en cas de soucis de lag. Cela permettre de déterminer d'où peut venir le souci.   Comme d'autres sujets ont déjà été ouverts, je ferme celui-ci. 

Tanatoy: Cela sera bien pour une prochaine mise à jour, probablement la 9.0. 

Tanatoy: Rhaya est en vacances, mais je suis persuadé qu'elle vous souhaite tous un joyeux Noël aussi, C'est elle qui sera présente pour le 1er de l'An ! Noyeux Joël encore les gars ! (et les filles)   @Nightwing : Meuh, je sais que t'es pas bête à ce point       

Dakiras: Apologies for the delay in getting the winners announced! Due to the awesome quality of the entries, it was a tough fight for the top 5 places, which resulted in fights breaking out between those judging the contest! (Not really... but I could totally see that happening)   So without further delay, the winners for the contest are as follows:   1st Place - sheksna (you will receive the bonus code separate to the gold!) 2nd Place - Nelkha 3rd Place - Skid_Row 4th Place - Kacam_Rasan 5th Place - Orrie   Congratulations to you all, and a huge thank you to everyone that entered my competition! It's great when a competition we plan is well received and there is a good amount of uptake on it, so I really appreciate you guys taking the time to get involved.    Hopefully I'll be able to sort out some more creative contests in future so that we can do this all again.   -Dak
