1st off, Wikipedia as a source …well done
2nd off, it doesnt even state 2000mm of Concrete pen, the highest figure for M106 there is 1432mm
3rd off, RHA, CHA and Composite is not Concrete
4th off, M55 doesn’t use the M115, it uses M47 - and as wikipedia states, the pen changes with range, so its atleast somewhat affected by KE, and being a different gun, this isn’t applicable
if you’re gonna try to buff something wrongly, at least be truthful about the unreliable figures from an unreliable source from a cannon that isn’t in game for a vehicle that works as it should

it should have way more pen with more explosive mass than the other smaller 155mm cannons anyways
Overpressure penetration caps out past ~60mm
M106 follows the exact same trend
That set of data includes basically every HE/HEAT/HESH shell in the game
An exception will not be made for it alone
dang thats sad it would knock the whole tank they should change that
