YankeeDog Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 There is a picture of a British Sherman Mk III or V with an AP hole clearly punched through both sides of its turret (you can see daylight flooding through the hole furthest from the camera). I do not know what the state of the AP round was, when it exited, but it must have been quite considerable. Given that I have not heard any incidents of multiple kills, unless a massive overmatch, i.e. 122mm flank shot wipes out two Stugs. Ya, I can believe an 88mm or 75mm/L70 round going through-and-through both sides of one Sherman turret. What I find very hard to believe is that the penetrator would then have enough integrity and energy to through-and -through a second Sherman turret, and then penetrate and kill a third Sherman beyond that. It's not modern APFSDS we're talking about here... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
