T90 fires one HE round and Mr American is dead. I am missing your point too listed below. To be honest though, I need to read more of the charts he linked too. He was not talking about this game or any in particular, or any simulator. I think you might be missing his point about penetratation. Sure, a 50'cal could penetrate armour, all be it with low damage when and if it penetrates. Sure, gau 8's can chew through armour, but have you seen how big a gau 8 round is? See my point? It doesn't matter if you empty a million small arms fire rounds into a tank, it is simply metal bouncing of metal.

Oh noez, i ran out of ammo! And the T scratch marks in it! Oh noez i am going to die now! I am now unloading every single round into that T90 just in front of me. I have a nice big automatic machinegun, with 1500 rounds. The Molotov cocktail is still an effective AT even today. But if you have achieved a mobility kill, then a rubber car tire full a gasoline thrown on to the engine compartment could probably achieve the same thing. Immobilized, reverse slope belly shots, and firing into the engine compartment could IMHO achieve a full kill. Where the turret ring of the tank is exposed as in the T90 a turret traverse kill could also be possible. And with SLAP rounds an M2 could be capable of getting a mobility kill by taking out tracks and running wheels. The M2 is more than capable of taking out any tanks optics that is why they also have vision slots. I cannot in all honesty see you sitting there in game as BLUEFOR playing against a mobile AI OPFOR T90 with ammo and it letting you MG it to death. Also smoke projectors can also project frag and WP grenades.

The fact that you could take the time to cut through a tank does not mean that the crew would let you. Multiple rounds hitting the same spot could well eat through the armor of a tank, that is the principle of the A10 Wart-hog's 30mm cannon.Ī jackhammer could penetrate an M1A2 given time, it is just physics. Maximum effective range: 4921.5 feet (1500 meters) against 0.75 inches of HHA

A single standard 50 cal round can penetrate 0.875 inches (22.2 mm) of hardened steal armor at 100m.Ī single M2 M903 SLAP or M962 SLAP-T round is said to be capable of penetrating 1.34 inches or 34 millimeters of High Hard Armor (HHA) or hardened face steel armor at 500 m what its effect up close is I cannot guess.
