A discussion about Tungsten Cored Ammunition (APCR/HVAP, and APDS)

Wait so the M26E1 should fire APCR at a slightly higher speed?

If so, can a bug report be made on it? Not only the speed but also the name, since in game it’s just called “HVAP shot”. I feel like the ammunition names of the M26E1 could do with some love.

(Edit: I also am interested in the source since I always like expanding my library of knowledge)

@Conraire Take a look at this: https://apps.dtic.mil/sti/pdfs/ADA953510.pdf

If Conraire is using the document I believe he’s using, it lists the T15 and T54 firing the T44 at 3875 fps and the T50 at 3300 fps.

T44 would still be 3750ft/s, it appears T44E2 uses a different propellant, as it seems to reflect that in the form factors document as well.

Interesting. That tan document shows T44 and T44E2 at 3875 fps.

Actually it doesn’t show a velocity for regular T44 from the T15 guns. It also has a different propelling charge mass on that document.
