AMMUNITION
TABLE OF CONTENTS
AP
AP is the default ammo that most tanks start with. It has medium penetration and medium damage. Most will use it till they can afford APDS or HEAT. It is also the basic ammo for tanks and it provides standard damage,penetration and accuracy. Though it's not the best.
Damage
This round does the least damage to opponents.
Accuracy
This round is very accurate at both short and long distance, but due to its low damage it is rarely used in higher ranking matches.
APDS
(Armor Piercing Discarding Sabot) is a high penetration, low to medium damage round used most often in higher level matches. This shell is very accurate and it is not restricted by spaced armor making it very effective versus low HP but high armor tanks with spaced armor however do not use it against a high HP low armor tanks or it will be very much useless.
Damage
APDS is best used against tanks with higher armor and HEAT countermeasures such as spaced armor and reactive armor. It doesn't seem to do a lot of damage in tanks with low damage stats. This makes HEAT more popular in lower level matches.
Accuracy
This round is a bit more accurate at long range than all the others.
HE
HE rounds are slightly more accurate than HEAT rounds, but less accurate than AP or APDS.
Damage
The most damage can be dealt by a direct hit, but it's still not too much. It's best used aganist hidden low armor targets like the PT-76, AMX-13, Ontos, M270 MLRS, or TOS-1.
Best chance of making heavy damage using an HE round is by using artillery, or if you are sniping it is a good round to use for spread damage, that way it can draw out the enemy
An FV101 Scorpion could deal 100+ damage with an HE round so if you want to use this small tank to chase somebody and u cant aim perfectly so u can just hit the ground near it.
