DM63 Incorrect penetration and up to date rounds ~10 years

I don’t think any apfsds in game has anti era tip mechanic modeled iirc. I don’t think it would be possible in the current engine requiring a new engine built with current stuff in mind and future things to come in mind.

well yeah time for new engine but it gonna take a lot of time and cost ofc

Yeah so I’m not expecting anti era too mechanic anytime soon but the least they could do is give up to date rounds with their proper penetration stats.

Eh, I mean tandem shaped charges already exist, and ERA effectiveness has variable effectiveness against those, it’s not just a straight up ignore ERA modifier or anything is what I mean. So I feel with some modification, APFSDS rounds can have such a mechanic as well, maybe by modelling the tip as seperate part of the projectile…?

I heard in the past that the anti ERA abilities of DM53 was sorta modelled at some point, maybe it was just on the New Power dev server but I don’t know. But then they removed it. Not sure if it really was the case, just a bug or just some story that was spread around.

Besides 105mm DM63 there is also 20mm DM63 which also has wrong penetration

105mm M426 used by the Vietnamese army in their T55s (upgraded by Israel) in an armor test. The plate appears to be about 30cm (300mm) and has an inclination of 65°.

Taiwanese 105mm DM63 copy TC84 can apparently penetrate 450mm RHA at 2,000m

Considering that gaijin no longer uses irl sources for round pen, none of this really matters. They stopped using irl stuff because round pen was changing often due to different tests saying different things.

*unless it’s Russian

All tank rounds use the same forumla but okay

because in game is 105mm version of DM63

serious skill issues

Nah Chinas are worse, more mobile but least survivability of all and just copy+pasted russian reload time and pen value despite being much better IRL, no dart-tanking ERA at the side either and to this day lacking their spall liners as well. only three top tier tanks too compared to like a dozen or so USSR gets at top

To stay with OP topic; Chinas DTC10-125 Darts also lack a lot of penetration

Btw already got leaked years ago, so the round is already correct (they removed the photo of the DTC-10 round, meaning the penetrator & the stats. Gaijin removed my post) (I posted it again and it worked this time)

Reason being, I think you know why. Ifykyk

… read my commets

The DTC10-125 penetration value in-game is in fact not correct.

The Leak you posted shows that btw…the in-Game APFSDS is more based on the DTW-125.
The DTC10-125 has over a hundred more penetration IRL than it has in-Game.

I doubt it

Takes like five Seconds to look it up…or just look at the Image you yourself posted…like you say the Round as it is in Game is correct using the leaked Image as proof…but the very leak you posted says otherwise and confirms my point that the in-Game DTC10-125 is lacking over a hundred mm of penetration
