Ammo rack

[CamelHey]

Is there any way to tell after a battle if you got ammo-racked? Just cause my Cruiser Mk.I got one-shot by another Cruiser Mk.I or Mk.II and I don't remember seeing an ammo rack symbol.

yep in the battle report look at DETAILED tab.

You can also click on the "News" tab and then the "Information" tab. Then you will see your last 10 battles and other notifications listed.
If you click on a battle there is all kinds of info like credits used, efficiency etc.
efficiency is nice, it tells a person who they killed or damaged, and how many shots etc.

I realised that it must’ve been the howitzer.

even AP ammo can damage ammo rack some more.

i have destroy one or two tanks in 1 hit due to destroying their ammo rack completely and by shooting fromt the sides or rear.

even though the tank's hp is full.

p.s ammo rack is the most vulnerable at the rear. so don't let enemy hit your rear most of the time if you want to prevent them from destroying your ammo rack.

not true, ammo racks can be at the rear or sides. Many tanks don't have weak ammo rack rear spots, but usually they are directly in the middle of side plating such as churchhills, etc. They only have engine vulnerability in the rear, not ammo racks.

Some tanks have ammo rack weakspots in the front also, but due to heavy armor they usually don't get ammo racked from the front. I think like KV1s, you can ammo rack them at the lower glacial from the front, but since that has good armor, you aren't going to really ammo rack them that way unless maybe with a kv2 lucky shot.
