Re: UK IFV Warrior, new infomation.
Problem: some tank guns have a HEAT penetrationvalue well under 30. These are old late-WW2 guns or such, but high velocity nonetheless. Do we assume these rounds will be stopped by the SLAT anyway? Maybe low-tech enough to be totally spent by 25cm standoff.
For reference, 35 is the lowest HEAT value for 105mm tank guns I have found (haven't checked everything though). 90mm guns, even the most modern, are generally slightly under 30.
Since the basic Stryker has no HEAT armour, what will be added will be the only protection between HEAT rounds and destruction.
