Shell velocity
Shell (Muzzle) Velocity
How fast a shell travels in m/s — determines how much you lead moving targets.
What it means
Every shell type has its own flight speed. Fast shells (900+ m/s) fly nearly flat and need minimal lead on moving targets; slow shells (500-700 m/s and below) arc noticeably and demand serious anticipation. Premium APCR is usually the fastest option on a gun, while HE and HEAT tend to be slower.
Example
Why it matters
Velocity is the hidden stat behind 'this gun feels comfortable'. Two guns with identical accuracy can play completely differently if one throws darts and the other lobs bricks.
