Ammo indicator

[-SF-Disarray]

I've been playing around with the tanks in the game as they are and having a good time with it. But I have run into a snag. When playing with all the hud elements turned off, the way I prefer to play the game, I have no way of knowing which round is loaded. This can be problematic when derping HE rounds into a tiger. Is there some secret way of finding out what is in the gun? If not could one be added?

yup, so far I only took 2 types of shells, He and HEAT, and try to remember when I switch from one to the other... Btw yesterday with the Tiger I blew up a t34 with HE... Not sure if that should be possible

Oh yea. Heavy HE Artillery could take out tanks. Range to the target may be a factor along with where on the tank the HE shell hits. ?

Be very, very quiet… the secret is...... 'Turn the HUD back on momentarily'. ?

The word "derp" is forbidden fo say here.

 

The term is a World of Tanks arcade game term only.

 

Derpen verboten.

I shall endeavor to not derp my way into such blunders in the future Wtornado. Damn it! I did it again! For clarity's sake, is the term 'herp-a-derp' kosher?

 

I could see a way that an HE shell could kill a tank, but I don't know that an 88 mm HE shell could do it. Something a bit bigger hitting the top of the tank directly, perhaps, or worming it's way under the tank before exploding, two place where the armor isn't all that thick. And just to make Thad's point more clear it isn't the range from the gun to the target that matters, it is the range from the point of impact to the target. You could be 6 Km from the tank you are trying to kill when you pull the lanyard and kill it just as dead as if you were 500 m from it.

 

Also Thad, when I push that button I see all this other stuff I don't want to see. It is technically a solution but it isn't a good one. Maybe down the line they will work something out.

Lol ?
