It seems to be a lot, how does it compare to an artillery shell? The tank doesn’t look like it fared too badly.

Artillery shell with 1 kg of TNT has explosion energy of about 1 kg of TNT

Do they actually use TNT as the explosive though? I thought TNT was just the igniter for something more powerful like C4 or something.

I don’t think TNT is used at all, I’m pretty sure it’s some explosive compound, as you said. However, explosives are still measured in terms of TNT, called Net Explosive Weight (NEW).
For example, one pound of C4 has a NEW of about 1.25 pounds.
