Simulation of Conqueror tank projectile hitting Object 775 turret cheek armor
120mm L1 (Tungsten Carbide core APDS) at 1400 m/s
vs
Basic thickness:
40 mm CHA* + 320 mm aluminum armor + 280mm CHA*
Line Of Sight thickness ~ 730mm
*Cast Homogeneous Armor
120mm Ordnance QF gun (L1) muzzle velocity - 1463 m/s, 1400 m/s at 0.7 km
The core lost structural integrity as it flew between the layers of armor and broke into fragments within the aluminum layer. If the core survived this moment, it could certainly defeat the armor. My faliure model have a certain amount of randomness to keep the damage distributed realistically. Considering that the disintegration started with a few cracks, I think that given another attempt, the core might have survived.
