Muzzle Velocity.
What affects does muzzle velocity have in the game other than bullet drop?

Where can I find t his information? I looked at the wiki but cant find anything related to Muzzle Velocity or other stats of tanks.

Muzzle Velocity
The velocity with which a bullet or shell leaves the muzzle of a gun.

Aka the speed of the bullet travels.

Pretty sure you would notice by now how fast the bullet travels before it hits you and if you have good reflex to move away before it hits you.

Well you could also arc the bullet and make it into a self Arty provided you know how to Math

It affects shell trajectory.
And generally speaking shells with higher velocity tend to have better penetration

Well, overall, everything.

Shell leaves the barrel faster, so,

>Shell travels though the air faster (amount it slows down/drops more in range is determained by the aerodynamics of the bullet).

>Higher speed means more KEP penetration at close range, it’s the opponent with more force at closer range (amount of penetration lost over range like above is determained by shell type/aerodynamics).

>Shell has less bullet drop over X distance.

So basically, its really not THAT important. Everyone can snipe like I do in my churchil every so often.

Everyone can snipe but the Factor is the Distance, your Angle of Aiming and your Reaction to dodge a shot. So its Important.

*Shrug* I just wont consider sniping as an advantage to any one nation like it is in WoT's. If everyone can do it, its not an advantage.

Some nations have more ‘sniper guns’ available than others, such as for example, Germany having long barreled guns such as the 7.5 L/70 and 8.8cm L/56/71 being more common on all of their tanks rank 3-4 for example. But it is true all nations can snipe, but it is specific to what kind of tanks the X nation is using.

>Rank II US I wouldn’t snipe with Sherman 75s for example, but the M10 I do.

>I wouldn’t snipe in a Churchill, but with a 17pdr tank I defiantly would.

>probably not the best idea in a T-34-76 or a KV-1, but their TDs can be nasty at range.

>Pz IIIs and short barreled Pz IVs probably not, but long barreled Pz IVs and StuGs defiantly can.

etc.

Ive sniped in my churchill and done pretty well. It was a little difficult learning the ranges properly, but I did it. Killed a PZIV. I wont shy away from sniping with the churchill if the opportunity presents itself but yes, I know what you mean.
Ive always though the Churchill was a Frontline tank due to its ridiculous armor.
Though I never enjoyed it especially the German premium Churchill ._. No TNT Shells

I LOVE my churchill Mk 7 though and yes its front line.

You can snipe with slingshot, the question is - how effective will it be.
You can try to snipe with let's say Tiger 1-2 with their high velocity 88mm (the best mid range canon) and with Brummbar, and feel differences

Shells have independent muzzle velocities, in the menu go to modifications then hover over the shell, in battle hold alt and hover over the shell.

It's all about what tank you are and what tank you're facing
the faster you round is going the more pen and less time for them to react
