So, in vehicle preview we have the armour and module view mode, which is very helpful, but its usefulness is reduced by lack of penetration statistics for ammunitions. Because what do I have from knowing how thick is armour on the side of a T-34 if I don’t know how much can my tank penetrate. Currently, the only way to know that is to visit the War Thunder wiki or Enlisted Resource, but not everyone knows about these.
So I propose to add a simple table over or under armour value that would look something like this:
| Ammo 1 | Penetration at 10m | Penetration at 100m | Penetration at 200m | Ricochet angle | Ammo count |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ammo 2 | Penetration at 10m | Penetration at 100m | Penetration at 200m | Ricochet angle | Ammo count |
Of course, it’s just an example, official one could look different, the only thing that matters is to have something like this. It would allow newer players to know instantly where to aim without having to leave the game or go through trial and error at Training Grounds or in battle.
As a sidenote, the Panzer IV’s in Moscow with the short 75 should have the HEAT rounds instead of smokes to put some fear into the T-50 and T-34. Just those 8(?) would be enough.
