DeMarre Estimates for German APCR Against Vertical Plate from U.S. 76mm HVAP

Range-50L60-75L48--88L56----88L71

0m----162mm-183mm--198mm---325mm

100m-150mm--177mm--194mm---320mm

500m-110mm--156mm--178mm---297mm

800m---84mm

1000m--------131mm--159mm---271mm

1500m--------110mm--142mm---245mm

Core statistics from Miles Krogfus follow:

APCR Tungsten Core Data Notes

37L45: 16mm diameter and 0.230 kg

50L60: 21mm diameter and 0.335 kg

75L48: 28mm diameter and 0.902 kg, also used by 75mm Pak 40

88L56: 30mm diameter and 1.124 kg, also used by Panther

88L71: 36mm diameter and 2.000 kg

Data from Krupp firing tests at 30 degrees from vertical with German tungsten core ammo follows:

German APCR Penetration At 30 Degrees from Vertical

Range------50L60-----75L48----88L56----88L71

0m---------127mm-----130mm----166mm----247mm

100m-------113mm-----123mm----160mm----240mm

500m--------77mm-----109mm----148mm----220mm

800m--------52mm

1000m-----------------90mm-----132mm----200mm

1500m-----------------70mm-----119mm----178mm

Applying a 1.33 slope multiplier to the above table results in the following penetration estimates against vertical plate:

German APCR Penetration Against Vertical Plate (30 Degree Data x 1.33)

Range------50L60------75L48---88L56----88L71

0m----------169mm----173mm----221mm----329mm

100m-------151mm----164mm----213mm----320mm

500m------- 103mm---145mm----197mm----293mm

800m----------69mm

1000m---------------120mm----176mm----267mm

1500m----------------93mm----159mm----237mm
