3bm or 3bk for t55 am1 ?

[WakeUpSeeTheTruth]

which one should i prefer generaly of the shells against armoured tanks .

[Mr_MeGusta]

Use the sabot rounds (the bm rounds). While you wont run into ERA/composites at that BR, the 3bk rounds are more likely to blow your tank up if ammo racked and will often explode when trying to shoot through something like a breakable wall. The extra pen just isn't worth and the 3bm will pen most things already.

That's not true, any ammunition detonation will kill you regardless of what ammunition you're carrying and different types don't have different chances of detonating (that's actually attributed to the tank, not the ammunition) and the area damage is only affected if it's two-piece ammunition (where warheads are less damaging than charges)

As for OP, use 3BM, it flies faster so it's easier to aim, can penetrate objects, and causes more post penetration damage. I'd also carry some missiles for longer ranges or against lighter targets to guarantee kills.

is it better to not carry more than 19 shoots ..until now i am not happy about t55..his gun to small ( 100mm) i have many first shots to enemy but get killed from them even sometimes they dont any damage , and to that places i shoot should be...just 10 min before for example shooted to merkava b from above nothing and he 1 shoot during move ,dead,and thats many time happen. i wish i would bought the t72 ...

Changing tanks doesn't change lack of knowledge

Would have been worse in the t72 when you get sniped across the map

This is a game with a learning curve
Just because you buy a premium doesn't mean you suddenly are good
The t55am is a great tank for its br ( undertiered but its russian so well..)
You have a nice choice of rounds and some era armor that makes most heat rounds useless against it,since most people aim for ufp so..

Also Either you play more watch some guides and ask for advices or you buy another premium and just learn again that its bad to buy its way past 6.7.
