Vanir Ausf B Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 As I stated in the other thread, Russian APFSDS type is unknown even to beta testers. what model of rounds the russians are using in the game ? 3BM48 ? I hward it penetrates 770 RHA at 2000 meters The problem with modern ballistics is that you can find a wide range of claimed values for projectiles and armor, so that even if you knew what round the game uses that would not necessarily tell you how well it performs. 770mm RHA @ 2000m would be a reasonable number for 3BM-60 Svinets-2, but 3BM-48 Svinets is probably in the 600-650 range, at least according to Vasiliy Fofanov. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sailor Malan2 Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 And I will bet you anything you like, those numbers are all wrong. Unfortunately I don't know by how much and in which direction! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hister Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Hmmm, so did devs came up with just provisional numbers for the game? Guesswork? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stagler Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Problem with sabot in Russian tanks is that because of the autoloader the length of the sabot is limited. The larger autoloader in the T-90 and T-80 allowed for longer sabots. The T-72B3 will highly likely be using 1989-1991 era sabot rounds, whereas the T-90 will highly likely be using 3BM44M or something. Also don't completely disregard HEAT rounds. Don't forget that 3BK-31 is triple warhead HEAT round, that will hurt an M1. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All three Russian tanks in the game are capable of firing the latest penetrators. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No problems there then if I choose T-72B3 over T-90. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even with the autoloader mod the Russian ammo still seems to have a shorter max length than the NATO ammo, because of this it probably doesn't perform as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
