Usage in battles

Describe situations when you would utilise this bomb in-game (vehicle, pillbox, base, etc)

Pros and cons

Pros:

  • Penetrating shots will destroy or cripple almost any target

Cons:

  • Small explosive filler
  • Shellite is one of a very few explosive fillers which are less efficient per kilogram than the TNT, making the TNT equivalent even worse

History

Examine the history of the creation and combat usage of the weapon in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the weapon and adding a block "/History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Weapon-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref></ref>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <references />.

Media

Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.
