Default Re: Sabot range for modern autocannons

APCalc uses the games code to show penetration values so running tests at various ranges and comparing them to whatever source you trust will give you the answer about how close we are to whatever penetration reality they are claiming their weapons will do. REMEMBER there are a HOST of variables that effect penetration so you need to run the tests a good dozen times to see the highs and lows but APCALC only deals with normal penetration variables not the random factors the game throws in after the fact and when all is said and done I'm not going to change any data unless more than one source proves we have incorrect values so I'm not the least bit interested in theoretical penetration of say..... 8cm at 2000 meters when it works out to 7 or 9 in APCalc show me we are grossly out and I'll pay attention
