rexford Posted July 27, 2001 Share Posted July 27, 2001 The U.S. test curves for 122mm APBC penetration have been downloaded onto the Yahoo! Tankers site at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/tankers One must start an account to access the site. Penetration curves are in Files section. 1500m penetration of Panther glacis (85mm at 55°) is predicted by curves if good quality armor (same as test plate), and Russian tests show greater than 2500m range when armor is not so good. Curves for APBC are flat nosed variety ammo, sharp nosed AP without ballistic caps was limited to no penetration against good quality Panther glacis armor, and 600 to 700 meters against poor glacis plate. The slope effects for Russian APBC, as well as penetration estimates for other Russian APBC rounds, have been compiled in our book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Username Posted July 27, 2001 Share Posted July 27, 2001 Will there be AP and APBC in CM2? Seems like there is a big difference in performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spook Posted July 27, 2001 Share Posted July 27, 2001 Your notification is appreciated, Lorrin, but given the clunky nature (IMO) of signing up with Yahoo groups, I have no interest in generating a new Yahoo account just to see the data curves. Can you image-link some of the noted curves back over to this forum instead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
