Marcello, do you have any idea when BR-412B APBC and BR-412 APCBC were first produced and distributed ? All I've found so far is a vague reference to a time period right after WW2. In game terms the Pen for BR-412B should be 18 ( I have a number of weapons being adjusted in this next patch and this just happens to be one of them ) , BR-412"D" APCBC should be 22 but It would be helpful if anyone knows then these things started being issued. Stock BR-412 would be 16 pen in game based on detailed info I found on it's performance and the B and D versions at 500, 1000, 1500, 2000 and 3000 yards and that means there will be adjustments to SPWW2 as well
For HEAT I have 100mm BK-5M with 380mm Pen issued " in mid 50's " but I also have source that says BK-5M was issued in 1960. The round before that I have as BK-354M HEAT with 280mm pen but I've also seen that described as BK-5., If anyone knows when BK-5M was first issued that would be helpful
As for BM-8 APDS I have that showing up in 1968 with penetration rated between 257 mm and 264 @ 1km and in game terms we get a closer representation with a 31 pen and 90 range
Since everyone looks for inconsistencies that may exist between one weapon in other OOBs and given that this gun is used in dozens of OOB's There are adjustments that need to be done in quite a few plus SPww2.
However it would be helpful to know just when the BR-412D started making an appearance.
