Rifle amo HE and AP Penetration

Also, I think I am getting confused - perhaps because English is not your mother tongue?.

I originally took your postings to mean that you had seen rifle fire penetrate armour.

But on reflection - I think that you are actually asking for rifle fire to be able to penetrate light armour?. Sorry, but that will not change.

OK, I understand. But, please tell me why a sniper aimed rifle from 50 meters can't entered throw vision slit of an armor ? Especially when armor is not on the move and the experience of the sniper is high ? Those situations were very common in ww2, I read about many of them in books. Or, how you imagine a sniper suppression fire at such a vehicle to be ? A no chance tracks/plates chaotic fire which surely attract response fire or a more usefull one trying to find a way throw the driver/gunner slit or something like that ? So, if it's wanted to improve the game to be more challenging and accurate/realistic, here's one good place.Sorry my language but I am NOT insisting for rifle brute penetration fire, but for such above situations ! And never encountered ones, only when I was gaming with the OOB editor and give to rifles some AP rounds instead of the common HE ones. In fact that's not such a stupid thing, when it's a fact that in ww2 ''Between 80 and 90 % of all 7,9mm ammunition produced was of the 7,9 sS (sS for schweres Spitzgeschoss = "heavy pointed bullet") type''......and ''The regular sS projectile had the following penetration performance: 85cm of dry pine wood at 100m, 65cm at 400m, 45cm at 800m and 10cm at 1,800m; 10mm of iron at 300m, 7mm at 550m; 5mm of steel at 100m; 3mm at 600m.''
These numbers tell from themselves.

Thank you.
