Guys, i think even tho the sharpnel miss u doesnt mean u survive that, imagine a granade explode inside a close compartment, i think the shockwave itself is enough to kill u💀
I love these simulations, during the 1990 - 1991 Gulf war these sabot rounds were going completely through sand berms and straight through the T-72 and out the back side of the sand berm. Sorry, your simulation is way wrong.
Интересно, если бы бронетекстолит делался не из стекло холста, а из арамидной ткани ТСВМ-ДЖ, насколько бы это повлияло на результат, ведь стеклохолст не обладает бронестойкостью, сам по себе, и был введен в бронирование в виду большой угрозы кумулятивных снарядов, а кевлар мало что не горит, обладает большим усилием на разрыв, так ещё и заявляется, что прочнее стали в 10 раз (из рекламы кевлар дюпонт)
Note that deflection is of negligible value. Hence the basic trigonometry of armor thickness still stands. A flat verticle piece will weigh the same as a sloped piece of armor with equivalent horizontal thickness because it doesn't have to be as long.
I was on an M1A1 during Desert Storm... I saw a lot of Iraqi tanks get hit in the upper glacis and saw the tracer come out of the back and bounce off the ground behind them. This was almost always immediately followed by the turret doing a jack in the box imitation when the ammo went up. Our engagement range was more in the 1800 to 2000 meter zone.
WHICH Iraqi “T-72”? They managed to purchase them piecemeal from Russia ( albeit the shitty “ monkey model) and then pieced some from a mixture of Russian parts and locally produced parts. They decided to make a 100% domestically produced version that didn’t even have hardened steel in ANY of its construction. This was their “ Assad Babel” tank and their Tarakawa division fielded these. Predictably they were absolute shit and looked like a soup can got hit with buckshot after getting hit with an anti-tank round.
1 thing always surprises me - that no matter what simulation channel tests it Pzgr 40 consistently fails. I would absolutely love to see a test where Pzgr 39 fails and Pzgr 40 succeeds. Now that would be something new :)
I think everyone forgets that tanks didn’t actually see much combat until the very end of ww1 and most of ww2. So was it a design flaw for sure but that is always to be expected for decades when new technology comes out
