Default Re: Math formulas

Hi,

I pressume that you wish to modify the existing scientific penetration formulas into a WinSPMBT game suited formula?

The simplest penetration model (from the three that I am aware of) is the Anderson equation (or for a more complicated model you may seek the Lanz-Odermatt equation).

Here is the very basic formula of the Anderson equation:

P =(1.044*V -0.194*Ln (L/d) -0.212 ) * L

V: velocity (Km/sec)
L: length of the penetrating rod (mm)
d: diameter (mm)
P: depth of armour penetrated (mm)

cheers,
Pyros
