Panthers penetration

[Mad Russian]

BUT jawsconan is right. No, explosion and no collateral damage either.

:conf:

If you have no explosion you cannot have collateral damage..it's quite simple...

Things have to blow up, or be blown up, before more than one can be affected. You cannot make this happen with an AP round.

Good Hunting.

I'm not 100% convinced of that statement,MR :) I'm quite sure i've seen in-at least one of my games-how two opened topped vehicles(Marders in this particular games),very close one to another,were knocked out with a single shoot,without either of them being blown up.I have no real-life experience with armor penetration,but don't some fragments start flying around when a tank is hit,even if it doesn't explode?

Yes, there are instances where more than one tank has been killed by the same round. Not the tanks armour coming apart and penetrating the other tank but the initial AP round going through the tank and striking the next one.

There is at least one instance I know of where a single round took out three tanks. There is also an instance of a British tank gunner that hit an Iraqi truck at 5km on the first shot. Things like laser range finders and depleted uranium rounds make that sort of stuff possible.

Things like that can happen today but it wasn't unheard of for WWII tank guns to kill more than one tank with a single round.

Good Hunting.
