    hi!It's beeen years that I play this game and i learned 80% of my current english here(even if it sucks) but i never understood what "shell shock" means.I can just understand live beacause it is a multiplayer game but other 2 words are ? for me.Shell may be armor that gets shocked?I think it is the most obvious meaning but I'm still not sure,can you help with that? I also searched on wikipedia and shell shock means:
    -another game
    -base used in 1st world war that have nothing to do with ssl(just both war things)

    This is just a guess but, I think it is supposed to mean Shell, as in a shell of a bullet, and shock like impact, so it is related to tank shells stuff. Idk, I tried :(

    According to Google: "psychological disturbance caused by prolonged exposure to active warfare, especially being under bombardment."

    both explanations makes sense,forgot that shell could also be related with bullets!Also google explanation seem logical since you constantly have your tank underattack

    I always thought;

    Shell: the the shell from an explosive

    Shock: from the term "shock and awe"

    Which according to google..
    "(technically known as rapid dominance) is a military doctrine based on the use of overwhelming power and spectacular displays of force to paralyze the enemy's perception of the battlefield and destroy its will to fight."
