3:46 I did not know this was a thing in game, but in real life it makes sense: the warmer air is, the less compact it is. So by having a colder environment the shell will hit more air particles as it travels (slowing it down) compared to warmer environments. (this rule applies to all substances: as they cool down they compress and when they warm up they expand. A perfect example of this are mercury thermometers). Edit: someone below commented about this and it is true; the trajectory is also affected by propellant temperature, since it will burn faster at a warmer environment. Though which if these two if not both are modeled I do not know.

[@qunt2742]

3:41 Cold air has a higher density than warm air so more force is needed to go through it, slowing the shell Or something

[@ceoofsocialanxiety6658]

To explain the tank shell drop in different maps: that's because of different temperatures and altitude. To further explain: Temperature: air temperature is a measurement of how much the molecules move around. The more they move, the farther apart they are. And with less molecules to push through, there's less air to slow your shell down, resulting in a flatter trajectory at higher temperatures. The same concept also affects the flight performance of planes. Altitude: basically just how high above sea level you are. Air is also affected by gravity. (the atmosphere gets thinner as you go up) Together, these two factors can have an impact on tank shells and aircraft flight performance.

3:45 colder air offers more resitance than warmer air as the molecules do not have as much energy when they are colder therefore they offer more resistance

[@nathanbenicio6835]

One knowlodge that not many players know about, but, it's possible to stabilize practically every tank in the game, even without a stabilizer, in controls for movement there's "ground vehicle transmission gear up/down (frontwards/backwards), I think by default it's E and Q, and it sets the speed of the tank to slow, medium, and fast, on slow speed you get stabilized, the Tortoise and T95 are stabilized even on medium speed, but some tanks aren't able to stabilize even on slow speed, like the phanter series. But! there's actually a way of stabilizing even those tanks that can't in slow speed, still on controls for movements, there's "Transmission Mode", which changes the way your transmission work, where you manually put what gears it shifts to using E and Q, the panther on slow speed (CC 1) goes to gear 4, changing the transmission mode to manual you can change to gear 3, and be stabilized.

3:42 Theres a very simple explanation for this, the "pull" from gravity is actually not constant throughout the earth. Some places in the world experience more or less gravitational force than other places. This scales with sea level, the higher you are the less gravity will have an effect, the lower you are the more it will have an effect. However this difference is very minute, hence why in that part of the video, the range table thing isn't that much different sub 1000m, but you start to notice a difference the further you try to shoot. But theres also a myriad of other variables that could affect ballistics like humidity, pressure, and air density.

[@whiskeydelta4073]

Cold ammunition doesn't get as hot when firing. Temperature and humidity effect ballistics. That is why different environments have different range markings.

[@MRKnowitallaboutRFOM]

Not sure if it has been said but the England, Wales and NI flags were obtainable during the 2016 euros. Gaijin added the flags of any country that got out of the group stages into a box costing 100k SL. Scotland did not make it out of the group stages and was purchasable for 500 GE on St Andrews day of the same year.

[@kimjanek646]

3:41 Interesting that this is infact modeled in the game but the reason for this is that at lower temperatures the propellant will burn at a lower rate, reducing the muzzle velocity of the projectile. Likewise, hot temperatures increase the burn rate, increasing the muzzle velocity and barrel pressure. That's why Germany used Tropen ammo, which was ammunition loaded with less propellant for hot enviroments like Africa, so that the guns operated normally. Cold temperatures also cause steel to become less ductile and more prone to shatter, so overmatching shells would have an easier time defeating armor plates.

3:42 Cold makes air more dense. Dense air means more drag on the round, more drag equals increased bulletdrop. I'm impressed they even have this simulated in the game, it cant be a mistake.

In cold climates the air is 'thicker' so things slow down slightly.

[@TheAir2142]

Different game environments affect shell drop due to temperature affecting shell propellants. At lower temperatures propellants burn at slower rates thus giving the shell an overall lower velocity.

[@ryanrobinson1741]

For the different drops in different environments maybe it's because cold air is thicker so the shell goes through more on the way to the target slowing it down faster.

[@deepspacewanderer9897]

3:42 tank shells probably have differing drop in differing game environments, because TL;DR: air resistance is different at different temperatures Full explaination: Shell drop is dependant on the time it takes the shell to reach the target -> Time to reach the target is dependant on the speed of the shell -> Speed of the shell is dependant on the air resistance (the higher the resistancem the faster the speed drops)-> Air resistance is dependant on air density (the higher the density, the more molecules shell has to push out of the way to fly a certain distance, the more kinetic energy (ant thus, speed) it looses doing so)-> Air density depends on the air temperature (stuff expands when you heat it up, and contracts when you cool it down, mixtures of gases are not an excepton to this rule)

[@JarateHunter]

3:42 My best guess is that colder ammo burns a bit slower, which drops the shell's muzzle velocity slightly, causing shells to drop a little more than normal at the same ranges.

It's more so due to the air pressure/resistance different elevations and weather cause. It's something snipers factor in as well as those of us in the Field Artillery due to the distance rounds are put down range.
