At the hypersonic speed of a tank round, the projectile is not going to be chugging along like that.

A shock wave is about the only visible thing.

“At the hypersonic speed of a tank round, the projectile is not going to be chugging along like that.”

All tank rounds are not hypersonic.

FWIW, the only tank round I have ever seen in flight was from a CEV, combat engineer vehicle, HE lobbed into target.
