Seems probable finally that an AFPSDS make a ricochet on a Merkava front hull... (see the figures)

It will not ricochet.It will deflect it.Deflected APFSDS penetrators broke up after impact.They penetrate armor due to concentration of kinetic energy to a small square of armor.If they are deflected they hit armor with body, not with tip, so they broke.
