I should have mentioned that the T-62 was supposed to have been penetrated in frontal arc in those tales; that the side hull hull, rear etc. would be penetrated by an high performance autocannon round is not a controversial matter.
A glacis penetration by means of cumulative damage (as in the KT picture above) seems entirely feasible as well, but that requires a cooperative target...
