Judging by stats alone, the PzGr 43 should be better in all regards. Iirc, there's been a few complaints about how the game handles ballistic capped shells since the volumetric shells update, though, so it might just bug out compared to the stock PzGr, which doesn't have a ballistic cap. Can't definitely say whether this applies to these two shells or not, though.

Fairly certain it's an American T29 heavy tank. The general shape fits the humungous T29/30/34 series, and they all use different muzzle brakes you can use to tell them apart.

Shot shattered after hitting the gun barrel.

Shot shattered when hitting the turret front below the gun mantlet. Going by the T29, that area has 158.7mm armour thickness. Depending on the exact angle you hit it at, that spot can easily have over 300mm effective armour thickness, defeating your shell. So this actually seems legit.

Shot shattered after hitting the gun barrel like the first shot.

Sometimes the rounds do very little damage to lightly armoured/ open topped targets

Sometimes it just does this. I'm not sure if it was the angle but I've had times where I've hit a tank and it does this even though i know it should have done some damage.

Also why is the velocity so bad? Why does it drop so much so fast?

i can tell you that aint no T92, definitely of the T29/T30/T34 series though at a glance i cant say which. congratulations you shot a heavy tank notorious for its turret armour in the front of the turret

Jagdtiger doesn't have very high velocity that's why the shells fall so fast

PzGr needs buffing 100% i just had 3 assists in 1 match because the round does 0 damage, i shot a T55E1 and only killed the driver and i shot a BTR-ZD and only killed the machine gunner and commander. Why does such a huge shell do 0 damage most of the time? I also shot an M16 MGMC and damaged all the crew but didn't kill any a few days ago.

Because there isn't enough armor to fuze the round and activate the explosives, making it pretty much solid shot, use HE on soft targets
