Soviet tank crew survival.

Bernard,

I should have but now Im over age.

But it is just a fact that when a T-72 or any other Iraqi tank was hit by a DU round from a 120mm gun there were no survivors.
When a DU round starts moving through its target, everything gets lit up. This is not only due to the velocity of the round, but also because when the round penetrates an armored vehicle it has a thermal effect that tends to set off ammo and fuel.

All that I can say based upon game experience is that when iraqi T-72s meet abrams they tend to die rather quickly, as they should.Not everyone plays exclusively GW1 scenarios,do you really want to make the T-72s weaker than they should in others scenarios against others threats to have less crew survivors running around in 1991?
You cannot simulate accurately everything here,consider the lack of tandem HEAT warheads for guns and RPGs for example.

Marcello,

Catastrofic destruction of a T-72 is due to design flaws. Ammo and fuel are both easily torched by a pennetrating hit.
