CTAi state: “140 mm RHA at 1500m”
But tbf we don’t know the plate angle
(Ammunition - CTA International)
Yeah i got the Distance wrong :P, And i’d imagine that’d be a flat plate as it’d fit with other 40mm APFSDS rounds roughly like the ones fired by CV-9040s
I did some calculations based off the CV90’s 40mm APFSDS and it should have around 165mm of flat pen at 0 meters, plenty of pen to shred any MBT from the side

There’s a fair chance it’s talking about a 30* angle or something, as they (CTAi) state “more than”, and the US trials found a higher MV and chamber pressure than advertised. But grain of salt that trial is fairly old so there might have been some changes.
If that was a 30* angle that’d be some insane performance for a 40mm round, either way im expecting it to come to the game as a copy paste of the CV-90s lower end round.
According to the Americans the APFSDS does 1640m/s
Also heres the plate they use to showcase the round…
Jesus christ thats nuts for a 40mm APFSDS
I mean… benefit of the round and breach I guess…
It’s going significantly faster than the CV-90’s slpprj m/01 shell according to the Americans
The Doc if you’re intrested (It’s not classified)
damn beat me to it lmao
I hope this is clear to be posted, as it is from Twitter and was not removed for over a year

Ironically that doc was created when CTA made a turret for the Bradley that housed the CTA 40 lol

Dont tell them sush
Seems why the Ajax forum poster did 145 I believe
But over all any CTA would be great… with CV90 pen and a larger ready rack
It also technically gets a Heshy round…
GPR-PD-T : General Purpose Round – Point Detonating – Tracer
“Highly effective against reinforced structures, dismounted troops and light armoured vehicles. Breaches more than 210 mm of double-reinforced concrete. The fuze is optimised to maximise “behind protection” fragmentation effect.”
Also alsoI believe, if what I’m reading is correct, it gets a type of AHEAD ish round
GPR-AB-T : General Purpose Round – Airburst – Tracer
Delivers an air-bursting detonation above the target at a range of 60 to 2,500 m. This programmable high-explosive ammunition is optimised for fragmentation effects, providing coverage of up to 125 m² on the ground or behind obstacles. It is particularly effective against certain ground applications such as infantry or blinding vehicle optics or antennas.
The GPR-AB-T can also operate in Point Detonating mode.
152mm - 0° - 0m
87.5mm - 60° - 0m
130mm - 0° - 1500m
75mm - 60° - 1500m
CTA 40mm APFSDS penetration
…Isnt it 140 - 145 at 1500?
I have no idea where you’ve got those number from, because that’s lower than the one confirmed number we have lmao
thats LOS penetration
thats 150mm at 1500m, which would give around 140mm at 2km
