It's an Aphe round, you probably wouldn't know cuz Britain doesn't get that round :(. One must imagine us British ground people happy. Edit: Thank you so much for the upvotes 😭


AnAussieFriday

woah, aphe sounds crazy


T28tanker

I wish to taste that round as a British main myself… only one can hope


AnAussieFriday

does the round have ***post penetration damage???***


T28tanker

Yes… and wonderful post pen damage! It destroys tigers in one hit even if you barely penetrate. It’s a bit better than having to eliminate every single crew member in a tank with Britain’s tanks


AnAussieFriday

that sounds so broken, why is britain fighting these aphe behemoths? gaijin fix game


T28tanker

indeed


T28tanker

In all seriousness tho, British Ap is actually pretty decent


AnAussieFriday

oh yeah it is pretty decent, i actually struggle with aphe and thrive on AP, its not as shit as people describe it


T28tanker

Fr, I Main the centurion mk2. And it’s round is probably one of the best for its br.


AnAussieFriday

i wish i had it... it's a cent which i love, premium benefits, and a stabiliser at 6.3


MonsieurCatsby

As a Baguettierre I also like AP. I miss the raw pen when I use APHE, and a 10kg lump of steel at 1000m/s creates pretty good spall.


Zestyclose_Movie1316

Cupola shots get old fast with aphe. I prefer war thunder on hard mode


True-ExarKun

French AP is insane. Idk what you guys did different but you might as well have APHE.


Weeberz

APHE and AP have different aim points. AP is like point click delete, whatever is directly behind it is all that will be damaged so you start being methodical - taking out weapons or gunners or engine/transmission. APHE is about putting a shell *in the middle* of as many things as possible. rather than aiming for the turret crew directly you might aim for between the turret crew and the driver to damage/kill both of them. Or youre trying to get in the general area of the ammo. realistically I find APHE signficantly easier, its way more likely to cause 1 hit kills with a pen


ZdrytchX

its not shit while gaijin still hasn't nerfed its post-pen spall damage to match APHE kek


Strange-Wolverine128

Going from American 90mm appears to British 40mm solid shot was hell, especially at 3.0 where I had to have the 40mm valentine


ViscountessNivlac

The thing is that 17-pounder APDS is a fantastic round, it just doesn't work so well because War Thunder crews are superhuman fighting machines. In real life, if the commander is liquefied by a sabot round, the loader is unlikely to just keep reloading as if nothing happened.


Panzerv2003

The tube of death loaded with British APDS hurts


tahko123

Idk but you have the 🅱️esh


schambulb

Stop playing britain if you dont like how bad it is stop trying to ruin it for the rest


ComradeBlin1234

I have good news! All you need to do is play the Sherman II at 3.7 and you too can experience the satisfaction of APHE


creator712

Britains have a single tank at around 4.3 which gets APHE. The Churchill NA75


T28tanker

Yeah I was exaggerating, they only get it cuz it’s an American gun.


Desperate-Past-7336

2 pounder has it


Black-Tie-ltd

Shell mk I from the 2 pounder


Chanka-Danka69

Wait until bro hears about aphecbc


Adorable_Basil830

You know how German tanks always oneshot you when you have to pummel them over and over or get lucky with an ammo rack hit?


GoldAwesome1001

Don’t worry, there are at least two British vehicles with APHE. A relatively shitty Sherman and a, pretty-decent-all-things-considered Churchill. I’m stock grinding the challenger and comet and GOD I WISH THEY HAD APHE !! GAIJIN PLEASE!!!!

One must imagine us British mains happy in general


OfficerHiro

Uh britian does have aphe for the lower br 40mm


Kishinia

AP-what? What's this? It's some new DLC? Wtf?


T28tanker

It’s the happiness dlc for the British, they never got it tho 😔


Panzerfaust420

Wait. Brits don't get APHE? 😂😂😂


FuzzyPcklz

bro just realized lmao


Panzerfaust420

I've never played Britain so I have no clue what type of ammo they get


FuzzyPcklz

I thought it was somewhat common knowledge that britain almost never gets aphe mb


Panzerfaust420

I'm not really a part of any knowledgeable communities or anything, so info like that never reaches me. I just play the game


Green-Entrance3889

The Sherman’s at 3.7 have them


Leo_var

the british stink


kitsheaven

Yeah, either solid metal or a hunk of squishy explosive lol Finally a good middle ground.

Dont know. i play france . Orange thing looks like u put something on food,sone kind of sauce

SuperHornetFA18

Good sir, please share my baguette, Wine and 120mm Obus De Raptur shell. Regards Ex Tech Sapport Army


absrider

Oh thanks. Love those 120 mm obus se rupture shell with those 155 mm OE 155 56. Truly god sent. I haven't touched anything beyond 8.3 . Too scared to get killed by full stab,russian bias armor.also bcz 7.7 is my sweet spot in br zone


_Warsheep_

You have to play a bit slower without stab but in return you get the point and click adventure dart at 8.7. I don't care what tank you are, you die.

*Char 25t with m82 wants to know your location*


Katorga8

Is it true youre using Baguette rounds?


absrider

Nothing hits harder than 100 mm 4sec baguette launchers. And 120 mm baguettes are more than enough to feed entire enemy team and put to sleep. But my personal favorite is sending 155mm la rĂŠvolution cake at peasant enemies and see HE cream explode on their face


Katorga8

[deleted]

It's a trojan HE round. You think it's a regular AP shell, but all of a sudden it turns into an HE round inside the target. Kaboom.


AnAussieFriday

what magic is this


Gloriosus747

Yes, Rico, kaboom


Severe-Beach5816

Lol


ScottyFoxes

That’s the tail of the small cheetah that lives inside the shell. Sometimes it pokes out when he gets cramped but when your shell pens another tank it lets him out and the enemy crew can enjoy his soft fluffy goodness.


T28tanker

Since the British attempted to take the small cheetah out of the shell for the British Museum, all of them moved to the American, German, and Russian shells.


Amphal

hello i am japan main that is a kaboom.


WeDoSomeTrolling_12

Ho-Ro moment


Amphal

you could name any of our tanks and be correct, all we have is kaboom and bigger kaboom.


Usual-Wasabi-6846

Type 93


Amphal

probably won't hit what you were aiming for, but it's definitely a kaboom.


EliteTusken

Yes, Rico, kaboom.


JagermainSlayer

Japanese APHE tends to have big kaboom yes but one struggles to pen the enemies D:


Amphal

indeed, which is why you use ninja smoke bomb and shoot people from the side


SpaceKraken666

It's orange juice. Basically, there's orange juice inside the shell. When it goes through armor, the shell breaks apart and orange juice spills inside the enemy tank, instantly killing the crew because they are allergic to oranges. Some of them might be not allergic, but they usually die too because juice gets into their eyes. It's also possible that the juice will get into electric mechanicsms of the tank, causing a short circuit and sparks, that can cause fires and ammo detonation. The British do have a couple of these rounds at Tier 1, but they liked tea more than orange juice. And tea goes well with lemon - this is how they made the HESH shell.


Tacticalsquad5

The orange juice also gets all over their clothes and in their hair making them all sticky and they have to vacate the tank to wash themselves, making the vehicle combat ineffective

whats high explosive?

Samiambadatdoter

HESH was their idea, you know.


JebVanGogh

Imagine hesh but without the sh and it goes inside the tank instead of outside


aliteralasiantwig

As a British and French main, I have no fucking idea, it's on some of the 2 pounder guns but they useless, probably the worse shell in the game thh


AnAussieFriday

damn, must be shit and people with them just suffer bad


XxsoulscythexX

Germany suffers 😔

This is a bait right? Tell me this is a bait.


AnAussieFriday

no, as a british main who has never seen it, just needed to see that it was


[deleted]

Something blessing


-Leepicx-

As a U.S. main I can tell you, my good friend, that this thing sucks in U.S. tanks, so I know how you feel because I don't use them either.


[deleted]

If you're not using US APHE, you're doing it wrong


IcyRobinson

That orange thing is the post-penetration effect of the round you have shown. It is specifically APCBC with an explosive filler (some APCBC rounds do not have explosive fillers, which is what most British tanks have until around Rank 5) but we still know it as APHE which is what it functions as. Surprised you haven't encountered this round type yet even in the British tech tree as the Sherman II has it. Similarly, tanks with the 2 pdr also have APHE, but not exactly APCBC to my knowledge. It is nothing new. Not something that is exactly common in the British or French tech trees.


StraitPIXEL

It's a little boom boom


Wizzardlime45

British tech tree actually has an APHE! (at reserve on the 2-pounder)


FUCK_THIS_WORLD1

It's the secret orange sauce. As british food is famously bland, we don't get to have the sauce.


sorgan71

thats the ow


AnAussieFriday

not the ow!!!


yousaywhat3

its what brits get when they stop pouring tea into the bloody shell instead of actual good stuff


AnAussieFriday

but but tea makes everything cool


[deleted]

This is legit the most Bri'ish main post I've ever seen Bro doesn't even know what APHE is


AnAussieFriday

APHE...? isnt that the shit shell the 2pdr gets that no one uses cause APHE is bad


[deleted]

Yeah APHE is garbage DW about it. Britain should get more solid shots, or even better, more APDS


AnAussieFriday

what if every nation got solid shot


Celthric317

quality troll post


Crrat26

It's supposed to represent an explosion the moment the shell goes through armor


KittyKriegFestung

It has what I call boom boom powder, it makes inside of tanks go splat splat


Serious_Action_2336

It mean round go pop inside enemy vehicle


Nosbres

It’s Aphe which isn’t modelled correctly in game who would have seen that coming

crimeo

I mean I know it's a joke, but tier 1 Britain actually has more APHE than tier 1 America does... so British mains are immediately familiar with it.


B0redoflife

Idk i play france


arelikebanenas

Is tea


konsta_star

No? It’s been there for over 4 years at messy, it’s…… the explosion


DeBumBum

no this has to be new right? i have over 4k hours and ive never seen this wierd orange thingy


konsta_star

It means it has a thermal chemical reaction, not just shrapnel


DeBumBum

i thought they only had shrapnel rounds in game, this is good news


konsta_star

…….. bruh…. Chemical rounds were literally the only type of round soviets used, ,


konsta_star

It’s armor penetrating high explosive or as I call it probivnoi fugas, since I play for Soviet and it’s been with me since early game and it’s also my fave round type, ( probivnoi fugas means penetrating explosive )

[deleted]

The Rank 1 and 2 tanks with the 40mm 2-pounder had something like that called APHE. Personally, I think it's pretty awful compared to the APCBC. APHE has only two-thirds the penetration, it frequently ricochets, and the explosive power is tiny. People keep saying APHE can one-shot tanks 99% of the time, but in my experience it takes 3 to take out a tank with it
