What are tracks made of?

[M1 Garand]

Does someone want to explain how a whole 18mm of tracks can stop a 76mm APCBC round? Or a 90mm AP round? Both from around 10 meters.

[Scrapper]

Doesn't generally 'stop' 'the round, there just isn't anything to hit at the other side. If you blow a hole in the meat of a track you won't strip the track from the tank. Beyond that it could be a ricochet?

Need more info to say more. :)

As I have said before, tracks and optics are the strongest armor in WT. I've had tracks eat my HEATFS, ATGM's, APFSDS, APDS, 128mm APCBC, etc. Tracks are able to stop just about anything and optics can absorb the largest of fragments.

It's not a ricochet, I watched the shot cam, the track just ate it. There IS something to hit at the other side, have you seen the tracks on a T-44? There's an entire chassis behind them. And the fact that a 90mm AP round directly into a track doesn't destroy it is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. I could maybe be ok that the track eats it if it were guaranteed to knock the track out, but no tracks are madde of metal infused with Jesus' beard.

Stalinium komrade ))))

Ah I thought you were shooting front to back as opposed to into the side of the tank. Stalinium armor is nothing new in WT though.

I had a track making 128mm APCBC bounce off a T-34 hull point blanck range (unangled)

Twice in a row

Tracks are made from adamantium mixed with diamond dust. Never shoot into the track and even if you want to break the track then this usually only works from front or behind, shooting the track from the side will never break it, one of two things always happens, either it bounces no matter high caliber or good pen it has or the shot damage that transfers inside the tank gets absorbed by large amount so you will only do minimal damage.
Good way to kill some tanks is to shoot diagonally from front just behind the first drive wheel, this often goes in and one-shots the tank. Or from the side shoot between the wheels not into the track, best way to kill KV-2 for instance.

They blow up and take the explosive filler

Tracks better simulate spaced armor then spaced armor.

When it actually made HEAT shell more eficient

haha true.

Shells end up completely ignoring spaced armor in this game

The point of spaced armor is to make the explosive filler go off outside the tank
so basically what tracks do in this game XD

If you're shooting side on to a track, think about it.

Tracks are very wide. If you were to shoot straight side on to it, you would have much more metal to go through than regular flat armor.

Yeah tracks are so OP, but the T29 isnt lol.

Dont shoot at the top of the track shoot at the middle.
