Fibreglass textolite.
Secondly… Idk how from where you taking your numbers. Even in sheet provided by you there is no 648 steel equivalent. Its 520 M774 and 640 3BM22.
Idk, write with some respect at least, cause decoding your ranting is quite hard.
I literally couldn’t of made it more obvious but I’ll give you 1 last chance to understand
This is OFL 120 F1 at 1583m/s velocity
520mm at 0 degrees of penetration
Here I didn’t change anything, still OFL 120 F1 at 1583m/s but it’s penetration at 68 degrees which is the upper plate angle of T-80BV
243mm at 68 degrees = 648mm LOS of steel
So basically the fact I need to shoot T-80BV hull with OFL 120 F1 at 1583m/s to penetrate it, means the APFSDS has to defeat 648mm LOS of steel equivalent at 68 degrees to defeat that 587mm LOS of T-80BV’s hull composite armour
CONCLUSION
T-80BV’s 587mm LOS of composite = 648mm steel equivalent. Composite effectiveness of 1.104x KE
Because at this specific velocity, OFL 120 F1 defeats 520mm at 0 degrees which is what you need to currently penetrate T-80U upper plate base hull armour without The Kontakt-5 ERA in War Thunder
Not quite. There are two versions of T-80BV. One is T-80B 1982 with a Kontakt-1 (30mm addon plate+ 60mm steel+ 50mm textolite+50mm textolite+ 45mm steel) and newly built T-80BV which has improved armour (50mm steel+ 35mm textolite + 50mm steel+ 35mm textolite + 50mm steel)
When could one ever believe numbers and technical details of modern military equipment? Above all from a totalitarian state. `Tis all between propanda and wishful thinking.
Even if I tell them that 574mm LOS of composite shouldn’t offer 660mm LOS of steel protection because it’s unrealistic, that still ain’t good enough for them
IDK why people bring up Pantsir, it can’t kill F-16s, F-14s, or Mig-29s, legit impossible.
Can’t even kill EJ Kai.
I know this because I’m using these aircraft against Pantsirs.
You don’t have any significant amount of battles on each of the vehicles you cited to tell me you have enough experience to say Pantsirs can easily be engaged with, it’s particularly hilarious to mention it on aircraft that don’t even have long range guided weapons.
If you presume that unguided weapons are an effective way of countering the platform that has both the best SAMs and the best short range anti air guns in game I will just laugh at you.
Even if we say you kill one Pantsir by flying low and bombing the heck out of them, what comes after that? You already lost all element of surprise so now you are just gonna get gunned down by the next guy who will spawn it with 170 SP, so what was the point of just spawning on a 500+ SP worth vehicle when you only get one lucky kill?
And yeah “impossible” to kill F-16s, F-14s, MiG-29s with an 18km range, 32G missile that seemingly struggles to lose any energy, has a silent lock, short burn and that’s probably why I have a 3-1 KD on it, because it’s obviously “impossible” to kill those damn flying jets, completely balanced to have over 6km of advantage for almost every SAM in every nation making it able to shoot down anything as soon as it spawns, a radar that can see every flying thing 80 degrees above it while even targeting pods will only render at 15km, not powercreep at all.
Next time you are gonna shill for Russia try to bring up better lines.
“You spent over 4 hours against Pantsirs, 3 of them were specifically experts at SPAA, not enough.”
It’s funny watching you shill for the Soviets claiming their bad Pantsir is the most godly SPAA ever made.
If you think Pantsir is so good, get in yours and try & shoot my down.
You’ll never be able to shoot me down tho, cause I learned the weaknesses of Pantsir first week it was introduced.
Funny watching 6 shills for Soviet/Russian/Ukrainian equipment.
