Online Sources for Tank Gun Performance?
« on: May 08, 2010, 08:24:02 PM »
Admittingly, I do not have a good source of printed material in my personal library that details the main guns the multitude of different tanks used throughout the war.  I am working on finding a few different legit sources for reference, but in the meantime if anyone can point me to an online website that demontrates the performances of the different main tank guns I'd be quite appreciative.

Likewise, if there is a comprehensive printed source on said information that I place on my bookshelf, I'd be appreciative for that as well.

I'd like to be able to see just what probability that T34/76 has in penetrating a Pzr IV's or Tiger I's armor at X number of yards  (etc).   :)

Dont have a link for specific penetraton for a specific vehicle but the link below give the tables for soviet guns and the thickness of armor it can defeat at certain ranges.  All you need to know is the thickness of the armor on the vehicles you face.  Hope it helps.

you also have to include armor quality in the calculation
My ammo last for 6 Lancasters, or one Yak3.
