Pat, WEG is a very useful document for gaming purposes, but it contains only open source data. It specifically says that it's not a product of the US Intelligence community. So, it contains no classified data, unless it has been declassified at some point, as is often the case with older WarPac, Soviet and ChiCom systems and even older US/NATO stuff. Basically, apart from the oldest declassified systems, it's a collection of manufacturers' marketing material and educated guesses.

I also wonder what the 330/720 mm figure for the Apilas actually means. 330mm does not fit 60 or 65 degrees angle of incidence, if we assume that 720 is at 0 incidence. HEAT penetration path should usually not deviate much from the calculated.
