10.5cm leFH 18 artillery vs Char B1 bis | Bolted Armor Penetration 

The simulation of the rivets is really cool, it goes to show why making tanks with rivets is a really bad idea.

Didn't expected a penetration with such low velocity. Guess the shell mass played a major role.

Dang! Didn't know just how much welded armor improved protection until I saw this. You always hear how riveted/bolted armor wasn't as good as welded, but the contrast shown here really puts it into perspective.

This is one of the most fascinating animations you have posted so far. Very interesting!

Not surprised there wasn't a straight pen,but what killed the crew is their own tank in a sense Such a massive shell with such weight is bound to hit

Could you possibly do the same match up but with the 10.5cm firing a HE round please? Reason for why is, that as you are more than likely to already know, the 10.5cm was a LIG (light infantry gun) at the time of it's conception (but it of course found it's way onto many a mount and chassis as the war progressed) and as such given the window of time that this match up would have happened, the amount of AP ammunition in it's store would have been quite minor indeed. Additionally I am curious to see if the HE round carries enough energy to cause a similar spalling effect on the riveted aspects of the B1's construction. And as ever dude thank you so, so much for your hard work and efforts involved in producing these exceptionally niche videos for the likes of idiot militaria otaku such as myself. You have answered so many questions about arms and armour for me without the need to try and get my hands on testing and penetration charts and I truly cannot express my gratitude to you enough. I hope you are doing great dude and that you had an absolutely brilliant time during the festive season and the New Year. My sincerest regards, Bill

Those rivets breaking really are no joke. Geez. That person inside is having a really bad day.

Real neat Simulation, id love to see something like this for the "T-20 armored tractor Komsomolets"

life changing experience for the crew...

The track is hit! (2 seconds later) Okay, let's get rolling! Crew: 💀💀💀💀💀

Much less dramatic then I expected, but still a penetration(plus the explosion after it would have added more to the damage). Nice to see bolt/rivet simulation.

So you tell me that only thing that was holding plates meant to protect crew from projectiles going 600m/s are some rivets?

Not exactly what i expected, but effective none the less.

Could you model the flight and fusing+penetration of a Gr. 38 HL/C, or B?

Rivets :"I have now become shrapnels, the killer of tank crew".

Are you able to simulate glass? I would greatly appreciate if you could simulate a T-34's driver optics vs a 12,8 cm flak40 firing PzGr 43 at around 200 meters

Such a high caliber projectile penetrating but with certain difficulty, man the B1 was a monster for its time

What metal did you use for the armor? The b1 bis used a very special alloy only available on french tanks: Chrome Cobalt

You can made some simulation with this Shell but shoot form flak 39 ?

But now i do wonder, would the Pzgr. Rot Apcbc have stayed intact more in the same situation?

It would be cool to see a fictional simulation, a material like bone or chitin against say maybe a bolter round from Warhammer.

I remember reading a german commander giving his experience on using czech tanks with rivet plate armor vs welded german tanks. When using the czech tanks they got hit, the round didnt penetrate but the rivet went flying and blew an arm off from his comrade

Do ww2 tanks lke stug and panzer4 vs 105 and 150mm class artillery frag detonating from 1, 5 and 10 meters away from their side armour

can you please simulate a nuclear shaped charge?

Yes!!1!!11 my guess of it going through was correct (The chances of me guessing right were 50%)

very riveting video

I always like to bet whether there will be a penetration or not - this time I was right. The sim didn't show the effect of the explosive filler so the actual post-pen damage would have been even worse than that shown.

What do you use to make these?

how you make this kinds of animation??

Hi, can you do a simulation of a shell from a Polish kb Ur (12 000 J Vmax 1275 m/s ) vs PzKpfw IV ?

Simulation of rivet is cool, its the same reason why using rivets in battelship's armor is not a good idea, and it has a weak point

Why are the rivers not flattened against the plate in the inside?

Excellant, Can you do mor PAK 38 vs t34

With that amount of fragmentation People inside definitely become swiss cheese now

what software you use to create simulations?

WHERE DO I FIND THIS

what is the name of this program?

Did better than I thought it would. But, still a really bad day for anyone in the tank.

Isn't 55mm on the sides of the B1 bis?

What about a 38cm RW 61 vs a Nokia 3310

I'm really surprised it managed to pen so smoothly. This 105mm round at 420m/s shouldn't have more than 70mm of pen and that 60mm plate is hit at quite an angle. How is it capable of making such a clean pen? Is it cause of poor armor quality on the French tank or Germans had some kind of superior quality rounds? Cause by the looks of it, this round could pose a threat even to late Sherman variants, which had 63mm of armor at around 46° angle.

Even if not penned, those bolts were going to kill all crew anyway. This is the reason they started welding

Cool

the name of the software what is it please

wow, you can really see the detailed mesh well... good job! ive got an interesting non-tank idea.. you know how KentuckyBallistics's .50 cal exploded? could you somehow simulate the breech exploding, shearing off the cap off the threads, and then shearing off the 2 pieces of metal right behind the breech? would be really cool to see it ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1449kJKxlMQ.html

Yeee

That's a bad day in there.

Witness plate? No witnesses!

"Hit" "yellow crew" 😂

Damn, and then you here stories about what beasts these ranks were. Ig they didn't get hit with that round though, or maybe they did, idk

Safe to say the engine is not going to have a fun time

Fight between brothers separated in the birth.

Make tank crash EURONCAP simulation.

Poor witness plate

Ah shait pierre get more rivets

Wasnt the bolted armor just addon armor? I think there must be the real armor behind that because its hard to pierce.

task failed successfully

Artillery is unfair and broken.
