Field Marshal Blücher Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 APFSDS = Armor Piercing Fin-Stabilized Discarding Sabot. Very good for penetrating armour, as its name implies. Yes, I spelled "armo(u)r" two different ways. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slug88 Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 I think Adam is aware of what the acronym APFSDS stands for, he's asking for the specific type of APFSDS round that is modelled. Wikipedia shows almost a dozen different types: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/125_mm_smoothbore_rounds 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slug88 Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Interestingly, according to that wiki, the most potent armor piercers are actually HEAT rounds, with the best HEAT, the 3BK29M, penetrating an estimated 800mm of RHA, compared to the 600mm of the best APFSDS rounds. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flamingknives Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 The thing is, modern armour is more effective at stopping HEAT rounds. There is typically one figure vs HEAT and one figure vs normal KE rounds. The figure given is often in RHAe, or Rolled Homogenous Armour equivalent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 I've heard (I mean read) this being discussed by BFC and I recall they got pretty specific on what types of round are most probably being fielded by the Syrians and the specs. But its one of those things that's all going on 'under the hood' out of view. The game's very accurate but the accuracy is sorta 'faith based', which drives the armor grogs and penetration value nerds (I count myself among that number) a little crazy. Knowing that particular Syrian APFSDS round is from old Yugoslav surplus stocks and was shipment lot number #2554_B doesn't change the outcome of the firefight much. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
