Vehicles that have such low caliber often lack armor.So it’s better to kill them using .50 cal.So theres no point of disabling them.
APDS shatters to inform us that our decisions can cause harm to those around us if we fail to do the correct actions.
IS-3 doesn’t need this APDS BS
6.0 doesnt need IS-3 BS
IS-3 doesnt need APFSDS, HEAT-FS nor ATGM BS
speak for yourself this is the most fun part of the british tree!!

clearly the gun made to fight vs is3 and t54 are not good enough for it
Can’t even pen the side armor xD

That is possibly an unlucky angle, its 90mm at 60o that plate, you may have been shooting it at well over 60 degrees
It can penetrate the frontally everywhere at 2000m
Its mostly volumetric shatter nonsense on the IS-3 that causes issues.
This exact same thing also regularly happens to 300mm+ pen APFSDS, and yes it only happens with russian vehicles what a surprise

Skill issue.
The Conq uses carbide APDS, which is utter dogshit.
Try using the Vickers or the Cent Mk 10.
You fool, Vickers Mark 1 and Centurions L28 shot is Tungsten Carbide too. The only not Tungsten Carbide APDS shots are L52 and L15.

They have alloy cap. And modelled as alloy penetrators.
Compared to fully carbide penetrators, they have less flat pen but more angle pen, deal more damage, and shatter less.
They are not modeled as alloy penetrators. They have shattering problems as well, but lesser ones.

They shatter very rarely. Shatter the same as fully alloy penetrators, like the one on the Chieftains. And as i said, they deal more damage, and have batter angle pen with less flat pen.
Fully alloy penetrators are not capable of shattering in the first place. Again, stuff like 105 mm L28 does.
L28 might have better slope pen than earlier APDS designs, but fully alloy APDS has even better slope performance.
Yet with the american APDS, i have seen it shatter a few times. As well as the ones on the Chieftains.
These are the lines that determine how APDS loses penetration with air gaps and multiple plates of armor. This specific example comes from 105 mm M392 APDS which is a licensed version of L28.
Fully alloy APDS like 105 mm M728, m/66, and 120 mm L15 simply do not have these lines of code.
Just aim better
They still act like full alloy. They shatter yes, but extremely rarely (EDIT: just like full alloy ones), and have good angle pen, tho (EDIT: a bit) less.
