[Bad]

when a shell penitrates tank, and you can see it come out on the other side, i cant locate exit hole grafic on tank, or maybe i need glasses?

I've heard that yeah it can pass through. I've never seen it.

Heheh

You need glasses. The hole can be located at akward places though, not viewable. Every now and then I can't find the exit hole either but exit holes are in the game, I assure you.

The whole point with the AP-shells was that they should "explode" inside the tank.

I think the whole point of AP-shells is to penetrate the armour, what hapens after that is dependent on the velocity of the shell and the thickness of armour on the possible exit side and anything in its path inside.

Modern APFSDS ammo pentrates the armour but generates and jet of liquid metal into the interior, unless the armour is too thin, in which case it will pass straight through the other side.

Nope, that would be a HEAT round. Sabot rounds create spalling damage from a heavy metal penetrator.
