Now that's an interesting one! Would it be vaporisation? Or would it be _pulverisation_ instead? Concrete is a mix of various oxides and silicates, so would it actually have a vapor phase? It may even cause some plasma to form maybe?
@@connivingkhajiitthis has been happening ever since they introduced volumetric shells, it's not gonna get fixed until they eat their own words and actually implement volumetric armor or go back to not having volumetric shells at all They're going to do neither, one would take too much to implement, the other would mean going back to pre-2020 pen physics, which for them would mean they'd have to do even bigger rebalancing of everything from BRs to economy etc. and they probably can't be bothered to do that, because why do that when players are content playing with this broken system and sometimes even defend it fervently
@@dejmianxyzsimulations4174 You can try upscaling the clip to twice the resolution (4K), RU-vid will give more bandwidth to it and there will be less pixelation.
As far as April Fool's topics go, this is actually pretty interesting, I would have figured that the tungsten carbide plate would shatter completely just from the momentum of the concrete, even though the shell would be disintegrated as well.
on another note I now feel like a solid concrete shell would probably work like an extra cheap HE shell when hitting hard targets because I would not want to be anywhere near a tank that just got hit by a supersonic rock.
I doubt it, I believe concrete is used in 'HESH' training ammunition. And has actually been used in combat, as a "low collateral" type of munition for engages around civilians.
Wow, concrete sucks as the projectile material. And tungsten carbide isn't good choice for armour either, considering it nearly cracked because of that impact.
It's actually extremely interesting how the cracks form on the back side of the plate. I have some (a very limited) understanding of how this kind of stress is translated through the plate, but is there a way to visualise it in this software?
Makes sense (to me) for the crack to form on the back side, since that metal is traveling further. Just, the tungsten doesn't want to stretch, and therefore cracks instead. Whereas on the front, that metal is being compressed, not because of the impact but because of the metal bending. When the armor *_||_* is impacted it bends *_))_* This side compresses -> *_))_*
Looking at how the cracks spread in the side view I really doubt that plate could take a second round anywhere close to the first impact location without suffering a complete failure of the plate.
It cracks but is nowhere near brittle, let alone "super brittle." You use it in a hammer drill. The drill part is only a suggestion because the job is hammered, while rotation only changes the hammer position and removes concrete spoil a bit. So you just called hard-core hammer drill tip a "super brittle".
@@HanSolo__ Tungsten carbide is a ceramic. It’s brittle. Whatever you’re using must be an alloy combined with TC. If we drop our TC mill ends were required to throw them away because they may have microfractures
@@HanSolo__ In comparison to RHA, let alone cast steels? Yeah, any ceramic is "super brittle". Tungsten carbide is decently strong for a ceramic, but its hardness is through the roof (kinda the point, innit?) and it has a tensile strength ~1/4th that of RHA. That's brittle.
@@Warriorcat49 "Tungsten carbide is decently strong for a ceramic" It's not ceramic. It's a powder alloy made of tungsten, cobalt, nickel, vanadium, etc. This brittle thing you are talking about can be a stellite. An alloy as well. "That's brittle." That's not brittle. Glass is brittle. Because glass or concert is brittle you need to make your APFSDS dart of TC or tool steel (-ish alloy).
in Germany in WW2 there were so-called concrete air defense towers, of two types 1 type - like huge knightly castles with thick walls Type 2 - like a sharp bullet aimed at the sky, 15-30 meters high. it was impossible to hit it, since an air bomb falling from above ricocheted off it. Is it possible to make a concrete shelter for 1-2 people in the shape of a traffic cone from concrete, and what will be its dimensions and wall thickness, if 1. 60-80 mm mines 2. 120 mm mines 3. 155 mm OFS projectile в германии во 2МВ были так называемые бетонные башни ПВО, двух типов 1 тип-как огромные рыцарские замки с толстыми стенами 2 тип-как острая пуля направленная в небо, высотой 15-30 метров. в нее невозможно было попасть, так как авиа бомба, падающая сверху, рикошетировала от неё. можно ли сделать бетоное укрытие для 1-2 человек в форме дорожного конуса из бетона, и каковы будут его габариты и толщина стен, в случае 1. 60-80 мм мины 2. 120 мм мины 3. 155 мм офс снаряда
Logically, most of that shelter is going to be dug in. The person would effectively be standing in a smaller equivalent of a chest-high trench, and the cone part is going to be barely large enough to cover their shoulders and head, and to have enough underground foundation to remain stable.
@@azurebookllet9216 optional, such cones can be placed in enterprises or city areas (bus stops), where there is no place to dig, and for the front line they can be used as a mortar position opened the top cap and shot back closed - and even if the enemy sees your position from drones, it is very difficult to destroy, and he does not know which of the five adjacent cones to shoot at they can be deceptive (empty, false) positions to distract attention, or work on the principle of emptiness - 6 cones in different places, at a distance of 100-1000 meters, served by one mortar crew необязательно, такие конусы могут быть расставлены на предприятиях или территории города (остановки автобуса), где нет мест копать, а для передовой линии использовать как позицию миномета открыл верхий колпачок,-отстрелялся закрыл-и даже если противик с дронов видит твою позицию, то уничтожить очень сложно., и он не знает в какой из пяти рядом стоящих конусов стрелять они могут быть обманными(пустыми, ложными ) позициями, для отвлечения внимаия, или работать по принципу пустоты-6 конусов в разных местах ,на расстоянии 100-1000 метров, обслуживаются одним минометным расчетом
