kipanderson Posted September 15, 2001 Share Posted September 15, 2001 Rexford, Soviet APBC against face-hardened armour? Rexford, hi, I just thought I would ask how your research into German face-hardened armour and Soviet APBC rounds is coming along? My own view is that one must be careful not to rush to assume that German face-hardened armour was especially effective against Soviet APBC rounds. There is a short passage in a 1947 British document I have that indicates that Soviet APBC rounds may have been designed to cope with face-hardened armour. Jeff Duquette has already scanned in and posted the passage. Data in your own stunning book also indicates that Soviet rounds performed well against such plate. The example of the 76.2mm rounds against the Panther side armour springs to mind. All the best, Kip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
