IS-7 vs Tiger II \ 130mm BR-482 armour-piercing shell 

Merry Christmas☃️

Could you make a simulation of 6 Pounder firing Mark 9 shell at T-34's upper front plate at the distance of 700 meters? And another request, M4A3's turret face vs. Japanese Type 1 47mm AT gun, from around 400 meters. Apparently, this gun could defeat Sherman's armour everywhere except for upper front plate.

Insane how powerful these late WWII tanks were for their time. IS-7 and Tiger II

Very impressive that the Tiger 2 can stand up to a post WW2 tank design.

I kinda expected that , first it's a 150mm sloped plate and second this large shells don't get better at penetrating steel without having more speed . That's why they developed APDS , small penetrator is way better at punching through armour . The kinetic energy is huge , but it concentrates at a relatively big area .

I expected it to go right through, the description says this shot was taken at near 800 meters, so any closer the tiger 2 is toast but this is very impressive

I always appreciate the inclusion of a realistic side angle, because you're almost never gonna be hitting the enemy perfectly straight on.

Holy sh*t, I did not expect that at all, especially looking at the size of the "bullet"

Thats impressive for the tiger 2,i was expecting to be like hot knife on butter

I thought it would pen

the 10° side angle saving the tiger II from doom. Merry Christmas and happy new year.

It's wild how effective the Tiger IIs UFP armor is that it can even stop this round

Imagine that plate ringing after that hit. Look at it vibrate!

Thanks for the Simulation 😁

Try 2: Would be nice to see the 7,5 cm K. Gr. Rot Pz fired at 650 m/s from the FK 16 n.A. L/36 or the 10,5 cm Pzgr. 14 kg 405 m/s or 480 m/s (LeFH 16 L/22 or 18 L/28) or the 10,5 cm Pzgr. Rot at 390 m/s or 470 m/s (again LeFH 16 or 18) against the B1 Bis. These guns were the main go to as AT equipment in the French campain in WW2. (Appart from the 7,5 cm L/24 or 88mm gun).

One simulation I've been interested in is whether or not tracks links covering/stored on angled armour, that normally would ricochet APCR, possibly enable penetration? Love your videos! Not sure on specifics for shell type/range/tanks involved, but maybe some people have some ideas. Its a meme I've heard floating around War thunder community with how poor APCR performs against angles that you'd figure anything that would help it from deflecting like soft metal tracks or composite rubber, would help it.

I can’t wait for the sound update! On a more serious note, could you perhaps have a sped-up clip of the shell hitting the armour at normal time speed, or put a millisecond timescale somewhere that isn’t in the way of the rest of the video? I think it would certainly be cool to see.

Goddamn, it held up...

I'm kind of surprised, actually. 130mm APCBC just gouged it. In reality though, with late war German armor quality, there's a good chance it would crack.

Still, it was a very significant emotional event for the crew.

A significant emotional event right there.

Driver and machine gunner hearing has left the building.

oh damn, I just noticed that the plate actually wiggled a little bit from the impact. This probably also happened on the other simulations but I just noticed it today.

yeah i tried that recently in war thunder. was surprised when it couldn't pen point blank

Man, that is crazy good work, you doing here. What type of programm do you use?

Merry Christmas☃

Looking at how the projectile bounce on the plate i am thinking, if sloped armour is actualy better than its effective thickness sugest. Could you make a comparation between in this example 150mm plate at 50deg vs equivalet that is 233mm at 0 deg? I got a feeling that this projectile would actualy penetrate a straight plate.

Wow that's some energy transfer.. look at that plate bounce like a drum.

could you perhaps do the 15 cm sFH 18 aritllery gun vs a shermans top? or another request hte same 15 cm sFH 18 gun vs a churchill mk VII's top armor? or is simmulation a explosive round vs armour not relay possilbe/to resource intense for the programm? I am curiouse becouse its often saied that artillery "dealt with" immobilised tanks and thats why crews where quick to abandon a immobilized tank , but I am curiouse how true that is/how devastating it is. (and thats a kind of simmulation aperently never relay done before on youtube)

I didn't expect that....seriously I would like to see tiger 2 with apcr shot against is2 upper front plate or front turret

Could you make a 128mm maus hitting the the frontal plate of the is7?

I have a some questions,please answer. How do you do this simulations?What program are you using and does this simulation require a powerful PC? I think it's blender Your videos are so satisfaying and interesting, I like physics and I want try this

I am surprised. I thought it would go through like butter.

surprised it didnt fully pen, impressive

in these simulations do you account for impurities/the lack of quality in late war German armor? Or do you go for the best possible scenario?

Lol, I knew it wouldn't pen. It's 150mm thiccness at a good angle. APCBC shells hate angles. The damage is high just because of the size of the shell. A 150 or higher shell with theoretically the same characteristics would pen. I read somewhere that is an important factor too. Not decisive at all, but a thing to consider.

I wonder, would it go through if the nose behind the ballistic cap was flat, line in modern APFSDS?

Wow, I was expecting it to go through

Wow I would have expected it to just go right through. I guess this only works if it is good quality steel

That looks like an issue with the capping on the projectile itself. It's upsetting rather than penetrating cleanly. Having said that I'm not sure the plate will take a second or third round without failing.

could you simulate a GBU-24 hitting a T-72A from above?

That one bounced!

That surprised me.

Can we talk about that IS-7 couldnt pen Königstiger's Front Armour but it could Penetrate Maus's Turret ?

Can you do M103 vs tiger 2?

Holy... That 130 has so much energy, im amazed it stopped. This honestly would likely still disable the tank as this would stun the crew and certainly crack the plate and give the IS-7 time to reload. But impressive nonetheless... That 130 was a beast.

Hey bud! What program do you use to make these simulations?

I like the armor bouncing.

An idea for simulation... 800mm Dora HE round vs modern warship.

E-100 hull vs IS-7 please

this is nuts....

imagine an extra year of ww2 and see how much intense machinery would be on the battlefield

damn!

How do you make thees simulation

Can u test french LECLERC against russian tank, like t72b3m or t80 even t90m

With the actual steel quality that plate would shatter bigly.

Honestly people underestimate Tiger II's armor and overestimate the old design of Soviet APCBC shells. While it is a big ol' slug flying at Tiger II's plate, that's still 150mm at almost 60 degrees. Not even many APDS at the beginning of Cold War can reliably pen that. ISU-152 at close range might be able to slam through the plate with its sheer mass but I don't think IS-7 ever had a chance at 800m to 1km

IS-7 was first build in 1946. Tests in 1948. What is the point of this simulation?

How can i make this simulation?

would there be more spalling after round detonation?

The first plate to breathe it off

What is this simulation called?

Lethal damage: no All crew got deaf: yes

Welp, ought to try this out in War Thunder!

tinnitus must be bad for the driver

Looks like a no pen to me.......or a minor partial pen with a tiny bit of spall.. Nothing like what WoT and WT do, where the 130 face plants the KT.

No enemy tank ever penetrated the front plate of a Tiger II. Even though they assume the British tungsten round (can't remember the exact) could theoretically penetrate.

a battle of the metallurgy, can the overly soft soviet shells penetrate the overly brittle german armour

Very impressive, I thought it would go right through, maybe it would at 10m with 0 deg. side angle. But that’s not realistic.

What program do u use for these simulationd

Taking armor quality in consideration...i think the IS-7 would go through...if not, it would 100% crack the welds...

what software do you use

S-70 penetration chart[2] Projectile \ Distance, m 500 1000 1500 2000 3000 BR-482 (30° encounter angle) 205 195 185 170 145 BR-482 (90° encounter angle) 250 240 225 210 180 Data on the Soviet method of measuring armor penetration. It should be borne in mind that different methods for determining armor penetration were used at different times and in different countries. As a result, direct comparison with similar data from other guns is often impossible or incorrect. The main armament of the tank at that time was a powerful 130-mm S-70 tank rifled gun with a barrel length of 57.4 calibers and an initial speed of a 33.4-kilogram armor-piercing projectile of 900 m/s, developed on the basis of a 130-mm naval ship gun. Your model is very interesting, but here are the official armor penetration data for the S-70 Cannon, which is on the IS-7 Penetration table for S-69 and S-70[1] Angle of inclination, deg \ Distance, m 200 500 1000 1500 2000 0 258 250 240 225 210 60 180 177 169 153 153 Data on the Soviet method of measuring armor penetration.

what simulator is this?

I need to know what program this is

hmm yes i am sure that armor plate won t fall of after being hit

They didnt made the round of stalinium, that is why it broke into pieces

What program are you use

Huh. What if you scale m358 to 130mm?

Yeah but when that massive HE filler goes off its gonna crack that plate

What program do you use?

Why is the round coming down on the armor?

speed beats size

Warthunder: overpressure

Now if is7 can fire apds shells…

And germans even wanted EVEN MORE powerful E75

One thing omited is wery bad composition of late war german steels. Thats one of the main reasons of bad relaibility of german tanks. Cracking of drive spockets, gears, springs, reports of armour plate cracking or being just burst opened that whoud be on paper superior.

I think will armor penetration

Tiger lls were not perfect, but the armor was nothing to laugh at

Interesting to see how much the armor bounced back and forth. I didn't expect this to penetrate but it came surprisingly close. Meanwhile, the Tiger-II has practically no chance of penetrating the IS-7

Can you make same animation but bearing in mind actual material quality of late-war german metals?

А на реальных испытаниях спокойно проламывал😂, есть фото есть документы пошарьте в интернете. Как так???

C L A N G

Does this take into account quality of armor as late war it got worse and worse for obvious reasons.

Screaming and crying and shitting rn Merry crhistmas whereaboos 😭

This show how weak is the is7 gun is

На деле 122 проламывали тигра 2

Well I bet on the IS-7 to pen the tiger... I guess the soviet metallurgy of the projectile wasn't as good as I thaught, cuz a 130mm is not a joke.

i was right

Auuughhhh
