How to know which APHE shells overpressure

This guide will show a way to know if certain APHE shells overpressure or not.

First of all, how can we tell if a shell overpressures or not in x-ray view?

It can be easily done so in x-ray mode. If a shell containing 170 grams or more of explosive filler penerates the tank, it kills the entire crew instantly before exploding (all x-ray models becoming black as soon as the shell penetrates).

Here is the Russian BR-365 containing 164g of explosives:




And here is the American T13 containing 181g of explosives:




Notice carefully, in the shell (BR-365) containing less than 170g, most of the crew is still alive when the shell penetrates (but some will obviously die later from the exploding shrapnel)

BUT, the shell that has more than 170g, kills the entire crew instantly as soon as it penetrates (notice all the x-ray models became black, indicating that they are all dead, even though the shell hasn't exploded yet)

this trick is a very good indicator to tell whether or not a shell can overpressure by just looking at the x-ray model. This works with all other shells too.

TNT Equivalent Matters

One must look for the TNT Equivalent of the explosive filler as their guide to to know if the shell can overpressure.

For example, The Tiger tank's Pzgr. shell has 168g of explosive filler, but the TNT Equivalent is 215g. Which means it can overpressue!
