Default Re: AP rounds fired by arty

Yeah, 5kg sabot dart traveling at 1500 m/s isnīt going to expend any enrgy going through a canvas or a windshield or some regular car bonnet. The HEAT ammo may not even detonate going through thin objects, and will appear to detonate, but only behind the vehicle hitting ground. But a HEAT or a SABOT through the engine, thatīs another story.

Hail for the real comeback of 120mm HE rounds!
