Something very interesting about SU-100's Ammunition

[xellos]

“During the whole war the only BR-412 APHE projectile used, in 1946-1950th some improved projectiles were developed, for example BR-412D and BR-412B. ”

But in this article:

http://www.battlefield.ru/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=57&Itemid=50〈=en

"The 100 mm long barreled (56 clb) D-10S gun was supplied by 18 armor piercing rounds BR-412B and by 15 fragmentation/HE rounds OF-412. Having a 895 m/s muzzle velocity, the BR-412B with a blunt ballistic cap was able to penetrate ~100 mm armor sloped at 60° at range of 1500 metres. "

"Thus, the mass production of the SU-100 was delayed until problems with ammunition won't be solved. They were resolved by November-December 1944. Until that date, the mass production of the SU-85M was launched instead. In December 1944, the manufacturing of the Su-85M was cancelled and mass production of the SU-100 was started instead. "

:eek:

No one is the liar.

Conflicting sources do not make people liars.

And indeed these 2 passages do not necessarily conflict.

It says that the problems with amunition were solved - which might mean that the 412 round was used instead of the 412B.

there is insufficient information to conclude that the 412B round was improved to the extent that it was used in WW2 from this passage.

Now which type of the 100mm AP(lg) round is modeled in CMBB?
