Penetration Depth Error of the DTC10-125

The penetration depth of “dtc10-125” in the game is stated as 10m577mm, which is incorrect.
The “DTC10-125” armor-piercing fin-stabilized discarding sabot projectile has a total flight body length of 665 mm, a penetrator length of 615 mm, a tungsten alloy rod length of 600 mm, a rod diameter of 24.4 mm, and a rear tungsten carbide section of approximately 65 mm. Based on calculations, the penetration depth of the 600 mm rod alone is estimated to be 590.8 mm. According to simulations in relevant studies, at high velocities (1600 m/s, with the third-generation projectile having a muzzle velocity of 1760 m/s), the penetration depth of a rod with a tungsten carbide proportion similar to that of the third-generation projectile is approximately 1.07 times that of a






single rod. Therefore, the estimated vertical penetration depth of the “DTC10-125” armor-piercing projectile is roughly 590.8 × 1.07 = 632.156 mm.

agree,the post stated that the DTC10-125 has 13% higher penetration than the DTW-125 at 2000 meters. At the time, the DTW-125’s in-game penetration at 2000m was 511mm, so 511 × 1.13 = 577mm. However, this value should represent the DTC10-125’s penetration at 2000m, yet it was implemented in the game as the 0-meter penetration. The fact that this number was adopted shows that Gaijin acknowledged the data provided in that suggestion. Therefore, based on the DTW-125’s 0m penetration of 552mm, the correct figure for the DTC10-125 should be: 552 × 1.13 = 623mm.
