In the calculator not all weapon that is in winSPWW2 ?

In the weapons guide I just have samples. You can easily change them or add to them, by using the calculator.

The calculator only deals with warhead size 2-5 because most WW2 AP weapons only use warhead size 2-5, with very few exceptions.

Anti-tank rifles are warhead size 2, and weapons above warhead size 5 mostly fire HE and HEAT, not AP.

I only know of one warhead size 6 weapon, and that’s a gun-pit fortification.

I know of two warhead size 7 weapons, one is Russian, the other is the German Jagdtiger with 12.8cm gun with a penetration of 24. Why would you need to know its penetration at 1000m? ;)

I’m only aware of one warhead size 8 weapon that fires AP rounds. It’s a Russian 152mm gun.

I did a quick test, and I think SP warhead influence is at maximum at warhead size 5. Perhaps because of velocity issues, don't know...

So what this may mean, is you can enter the above weapons in the calculator and use warhead size 5 instead of 6, 7 or 8 and you should get accurate penetration results.

Let me know if anyone does additional tests on these large warhead weapons.

Hope the above translates to Russian Epoletov.
