Default Re: T26E4 Super Pershing

If these number are right. Then the gun on the normal M26 was more powerfull but I thought the T15E1 was suppose to me a better gun with the longer barrell and all.

90mm M3 Gun Data:
52.5 Calibers

104mm @ 30 degree angle @ 1500 yds
96mm @ 30 degree angle @ 2000 yds

Late M82 APC Shot (2,800 ft/sec)
129mm @ 30 degree angle @ 500 yds
122mm @ 30 degree angle @ 1000 yds
114mm @ 30 degree angle @ 1500 yds
106mm @ 30 degree angle @ 2000 yds
