This source doesn’t mention anything about a 1000mm long penetrator nor a 1,800m/s velocity. The former is physically impossible in any case: the standard established by NATO for 140mm ammunition was for two-piece ammo - one part 1000mm in length, the other 500mm in length. So a 1000mm long penetrator isn’t fitting anywhere lol.
You think your sources for the RUAG 140 will hold up against something that’s actually in production? That doesn’t make much sense, this is all hopes and dreams.
And I mean if it is the case, then the CATTB and Object 195 will have the best point black penetration values in the game for high caliber Cold War prototypes, It would be chefs kiss if Gaijin implemented non formulated penetration values for them.
It is claimed tungsten penetrators up to 1m in length can be fired at around around 1,800m/s
This little tidbit only puts forth a hypothetical. Nothing to suggest it was ever actually accomplished. And again, 140mm ammunition was two-piece (you’ve attached a source for this as well lol) - with one part 1,000mm in length, the other being 500mm. A 1,000mm penetrator isn’t fitting anywhere.
Here is a source for the 140mm being in two parts:
You did something wrong then, it’s comes out to about 805mm of penetration. The rod has a length 1000mm and has a diameter of 26 a frustum of about 80mm at a velocity of 1800m/s
That doesn’t even give you 1000mm at point blank range.
I’m of the opinion that Gaijin will just balance these higher caliber tanks with a number they see fit, it’s exactly what they did with the 292.
Where is the penetrator fitting? The length of the projectile containing the penetrator is 1m in total. Semi-telescopic rounds didn’t exist in the 1990s lmao.
Sounds like you’re coping about your own German industry. It takes a special kind of retardation for Rheinmetall to slap an extra 11 calibres on a 120mm gun and somehow make it more inaccurate:
