Default Re: About weakpoints

Actually I see pretty large variations in penetration with HEAT ammo. True AP ammo doesn't get such large variations but there aren't THAT many weak points.

And since I know for fact (I saw the tank and spoke to the crew) T-72 rounds failed to penetrate the side armor on at least one Abrams during the '91 Gulf War the fact that a 73 or 100mm BMP cannon can't penetrate the frontal armor doesn't surprise me in the least.
