300 LIKES NOW!!!!

As a reference, for those interested here, the 1939 Print for its Ammo Manual sayes that it will reliably penetrate 55mm/30°/700m. Which would even be enove for the side armor. (And for the He rounds its still 20mm/30°/600m.)

@@dejmianxyzsimulations4174 I think it basically reached its goal. c:

Am the 300th liker

The thickness likely have to be increase more than just a tiny bit. The armor at the end flys at over 200m/s. 100/60 rolled is the way to go.

Or if it was angled at 60 degrees like the t54 medium tank

Like 2 times as thick, not much

@@ztashed6366 it's actually quite a "quick" simulation

It's honestly impressive how everything about this statement is wrong

​@@aiden487Everything but, ARL-44 isn't low tier? Or mid tier?

@@aiden487 It’s impressive how someone can have a joke fly over their head so hard.

@@Predator20357 why do you think the joke flew over my head? I literally commented on how impressive it was.

@@aiden487 Oh shoot, I’m sorry man, I thought the comment was intended in a douchey sort of “this is wrong” kind of way

@@DS-wl5pk there is a clip showing the speed anyway, everything you see moving in the simulation is lethal

that chuck when it came out looks to be traveling more than 200m/s or 450miles an hour

@@dejmianxyzsimulations4174 how much real time would pass during the calculation? i see the numbers changing from e-005 to e-003 during the velocity clip. is that 2 seconds? I think knowing the real time of the slowed animation would help clear up the question of lethality a bit

@@corranhuss 0.001 seconds is the total simulation time

wow thats crazy 0.001... dude is pretty much dead

his legs and guts are done for ong 😭😭😭🙏🙏

I can tell you now that the black powder won't damage the iron.

Depends on what model of hull you want, new or converted

i dont think this guy does heat simulations because they take a ton of computing power and thus time

@@schmiddy8433 I would have to have a very very very good computer. Maybe I'll try 2D, or some jet equivalent

@@dejmianxyzsimulations4174 You could probably simplify it heavily to cut down on processing with a pre-formed penetrator and reduced number of panels.

You mean the penetrator is a cylinder, the tip is not tapered in anyway?

@@jintsuubest9331 Nope, no tapering.

A little? The driver is pulp on the gunner's legs.

@@felixbui9818 the gun mantlet and mountings are quite complicated structures and good diagrams are needed to model them

@@MrTefe I once did a tutorial, it is not difficult to run the simulation, but it is difficult to obtain realistic results, because adapting material models and settings to your simulation requires knowledge and experience. Simpler simulations take about 50-100 hours. The more difficult ones take about 200 hours.

@@dejmianxyzsimulations4174 damn

88 is a lighter projectile with explosive filler and a cap. I don't see it perform any better even at a higher impact velocity.

I tested it in wt when he announced the video and commented "Just tested this in war thunder low pen chance without track on the ufp and no chance with track on ufp. It will be fun to see if its completely off or somewhat accurate when the sim is out." And it seems like war thunder was pretty accurate

@@MGKTLGLDLG safe, certainly not, but alive, possibly

The ARL-44's gun came frome a very occupied country with a very, very doffocult tank development plan. The whole ARL was essentially designed in secret, and the technology within severrely outdated. That includes the gun, and the ammo. This is also why the ARL-44's gun was so massive and required a very large boxy turret.

@@ZETH_27 That version was designed post-war...

@@pukalo any AP in such conditions will shatter. here the shell survived in quite good condition. I once posted photos in the community tab. The 8.8cm Pzgr 39 looked similar after hitting the 85mm at an angle of 55. There would be even less left of the American 90mm M77.

@@jeandelacroix6726 magnesium

6.3, take it or leave it

@@jintsuubest9331 I would say that it stops the cracks from spreading thus improving penetration

@@djbulldoggamer4567 ansys

And T30

He's in heaven

@@arl-4452 it was twice against Tiger II

Well once you have the data from computations like this you don't need to do a full simulation every shot.

@@dominuslogik484true, but they don't

@@Archimedes.5000 for about 80% of situations warthunder gets it pretty close but they definitely get a few glaring ones absolutely wrong.

War Thunder is a video game and not an official military study, war thunder's realistic ballistics engine works better than any game on the market for the mind boggling amount of simulation scenarios.

@@Archimedes.5000 They don't even simulate core material in their lazy De Marre implementation, so you get Germany, the only nation to primarily make SPAA also AT dual role with tungsten/cermet core rounds in low numbers, absolutely useless and nerfed to crap until BR7 or so for it's AT role.

I assume it means something like "projectile that pierce", which is a rather accurate description of ap projectile.

@@jintsuubest9331 yeah that sounds right

Renault 35 is still worse

It's just a transitional tank to get the industry going again after the war.

what, neither of the vehicles shown here are soviet/russian

@@tinchorb1340I think it’s supposed to be a joke

@@Predator20357 but its not a good joke

@@TavaAdam_TR1 Yah, you’re kind of right
