Theres no air gap
just 50+35+50+35+50
Refer to the image of destroyed T-80BVM
T-80BVM is just 220mm thick composite at 68 degrees - 587mm LOS
My calculation shows that the base hull is equivalent to 188.4mm at 68 degrees - 503mm LOS
587 / 503 = 0.86x KE effectiveness
When APFSDS penetrates 188.4mm at 68 degrees - 503mm LOS, it defeats 404mm KE at 0 degrees.
3BM42 penetrates: 395mm at 2000m at 0 degrees, 450mm at 0m at 0 degrees
Obviously then theres the RELIKT on top of that.
Why are you counting 0 degrees? Not 30/40 for example?
Because the upper plate of T-64 / T-72 / T-80 / T-90 is sloped at 68 degrees
Imagine the T-34-85 has 260BHN steel upper plate [doesnt in real life i know]
It has 45mm thick steel plate sloped at 60 degrees.
When APFSDS penetrates 45mm at 60 degrees - 90mm LOS, it has 77mm KE pen at 0 degrees
So 0 degrees is considered a straight line, just like 90 degrees. The calculation of penetration is just calculated from the location of, for example, the upper frontal part of 68 degrees, respectively, it cannot have the same values as at 0.
No need to, I also already play the game before.
Also the old forum is gone cause its architecture was bad compared to this one, that’s it.
No grand conspiracy.
the architecture of this here is bad the old one was structured fine
No, what is wild is the massive amounts of copium you’re delivering.
That’s a Russian tank that was destroyed in Ukraine. It’s one of many thousand. Deal with it.
Essentially the issue here is
T-72B hull composite is 215mm thick and sloped at 68 degrees
The hull array in total is 574mm LOS in total thickness
You need 530mm at 0 degrees with APFSDS to penetrate T-72B hull without Kontakt-5 ERA in WT as of right now for years now…
The thing is, when APFSDS defeats
530mm at 0 degrees
It penetrates
247mm at 68 degrees - 660mm LOS
At 68 degrees the APFSDS defeats 660mm LOS since it normalises vs sloped armour.
So essentially, currently in game the base hull of T-72B which is 574mm LOS of composite offers 660mm LOS of steel equivalent protection which is impossible and not even feasible.
No APFSDS round is incorrect.
Abrams has its correct 680mm, and so forth.
You can see all the data on a post I made under The Academy The comprehensive APFSDS penetration datasheet
That includes all in-game data for penetration at 2000 meters.
So there will be intelligible proof? Or a couple of photos is your bet?
Calculation:
50 + 35 + 50 + 35 + 50 = 220*68/100 = 150
220+150 = 370+250 = 620 - Upper frontal protection at 68 degrees and 0 degrees heading
you lost me, plus we are only doing the base hull, no ERA included
You’re the type of person who could see a video of the tank being blown up by the Ukrainian army and you would say that it was fake/staged.
You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t force it to drink.
An interesting idea, but no, I don’t belong to them, I see a mismatch of facts, this already speaks of deception. If you don’t care about it, it’s your right, as they say, it’s not for me to discuss it, everyone has their own head on their shoulders)
In this case, it will be 370 mm, if without dynamic protection, at 68 degrees and 0
T-80BVM without ERA
220mm thick composite at 68 degrees - 587mm LOS
188.4mm effective steel protection at 68 degrees - 503mm LOS
When APFSDS defeats 404mm at 0 degrees, it penetrates 188.4mm at 68 degrees
Can you calculate in the comment how you get 587? Because I get 370
220mm / Cosine (68 degrees)
Thats 587mm line of sight
100mm / Cosine (60 degrees)
Thats 200mm line of sight (T-54 / T-55)
Alternatively you can use this
90 degrees sine = 0 degrees cosine
60 degrees sine = 30 degrees cosine
30 degrees sine = 60 degrees cosine
