Armourcalc is included with the game........10cm @ 60 degrees = 20 and that's what it gets so YES slope IS factored into the equation for all amour values and 305mm is what a 20 pounder APDS could penetrate and in the game that's what the 20 Pounder 52 is rated at....... the 20 Pounder 50 OTOS only gets 24 and at 1000m the sabot pen for the 50 is under the t-55's armour but the "best pen" ( because we toss a host of possible variables in ) is 23 so in some cases it could.

The numbers we have in the game reflect the correct information available ---including armour slope which is always factored into the armour data

That said this LINK gives this data for the 20 pounder


The problem with some of these reported angles @ is they can be reported two ways....90 is verticle so that is also zero inclination..enter 90 into armourcalc and it gives an impossible number so for this it tell me that with perfectly vertical target armour the APDS will penetrate >200 at 1500m but not penetrate at 2000m and APCalc agrees ...it gives 19 pen at 2000 but MAYBE 23

What I wonder is.....we give the 20 pounder tanks nothing but APDS , none I have found carry APCBC but IDK what ammo loadouts for those tanks were ATM------further EDIT..........http://www.lancers.org.au/site/Centurion_Tank.asp........

Ammunition: 65 rounds comprising; Armour piercing discarding sabot (APDS), High explosive, Canister and Smoke.

so sabot and HE only as we have it

and YES..THIS data ( there will ALWAYS be difference is data like this ) claims best pen for the 20 pounder is 285..rounded up it's would be 29 in the game..... IF this data is accurate.. and that one cm difference translates to about 200 m difference in the game.....you get 1700 results at 1900 re : 29 pen vs 30 for "basic" sabot ( not best sabot )

for the 20 pounder APDS MK3 at 500 yards =

11.61"

that's 29.4894 CM
