    Hi, ok thank you, but Mk3 hull there is "sharp" one look like welded from plates, and "smooth" one look like Mk.2 casting, or part of Mk.3 was builded on Mk.2 hulls ?
  2. Wiedzmin
    btw why these Mk.3's have different addon armour ?
  3. Wiedzmin
    some HE tests on Type99 prototype ?

    https://lostarmour.info/turkey/item.php?id=16852 is it really KO by 12.7 ? hit area is only 50mm thick, but...

    soviet tactical diagramm BR412B gives 500 meters for UFP, 1000 LFP, don't know why, maybe it's about пкп(backface integrity limit), and not псп(full penetration limit) brits during BR412B trials penetrated 90mm/60 RHA at 850m/s once(400 meters or so) IIRC, and 80mm/60 at 790 m/s(1-1,1km)

    i wrote exactly about this report and IIRC even T-54 UFP doesn't give PB protection vs 100mm AP-T

    not all soviet(any country) docs are good, if it says "we think that..." or "we calculated that..." it's BS in 90% of time for example, T-10 cast hull nose variant(experimental) with 102mm/63° have Vпкп=750m/s which is 600 meters IIRC, and 102mm/60° Vпкп=700m/s which is 1.2km IIRC T-10 with rolled plates(serial tank) could withstand 122 blunt nose at 795m/s at upper part(point blank), and 710 m/s at lower(120mm/50°) so i'm not sure about M48 hull could resist 122mm PB, but yes not very easy to penetrate for sovet AP rounds

    interesting detail
  18. Wiedzmin
    this is for welded

    one of german report's says that Kjpz have lower muzzle velocity than tank gun for AP, but still can't find more detailed info

    there is no Maveric's hit on this tank side turret, and i'm very doubt that turret front was hited by it either turret side was hited from another M1A1 with M830A1, and as you can see 19mm plate and 6mm weld is cracked, of course it's better than Merkava, but... all modern tanks have problems with multiply hits and stuctural durability

    https://i.imgur.com/YXh0cXr.mp4 there was old vid of iraq M1A1 vs SPG/RPG where it lost side armour panel as for Mk4 modules, like on any other tank heavy modules is only on front, sides doesn't have same level as on any other tank if you don't have thick enough base, "modules" will be destroyed pretty quickly

    yes western HEAT ammunition sometimes doesn't have it, don't know why
  24. Wiedzmin
    is it known why israeli used different cone in 120mm HEAT ? angle is more like on soviet 125mm HEAT, and fins
  25. Wiedzmin
    any difference from 1-2 ? Mk1 turret Mk3 prototype tested against Sagger, HOT and PG7V ?
