As for tanks being unstoppable or fragile, it all depends on many factors, the crew being one of them. I've read stories about the crew bailing out after one non-critical hit, I've read stories about the crew staying in their crippled/burning tank and fighting until their last breath. <br /><br />In real life, any tank is more fragile than millimeters of penetration on a table suggest. You can sever a track, you can knock out optics, you can frighten the crew.

I'm curious about what, say american 75mm, soviet 76mm or 85mm HE shells would do to various tanks from different aspects. Tanks seem alternatively unstoppable and hilariously fragile at times- the KV at Raseiniai taking numerous penetrating hits and fighting on, in comparison to other reports where tanks are completely disabled by weapons systems that, on paper, have no chance of damaging them. Obviously training and morale are at play here, but still.. curious about the concussive effect on both crew and internal mechanisms of HE and non-penetrating AP Donglyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11497717742122777825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5030145265861917845.post-16004577203244407422016-12-20T08:26:09.415-05:002016-12-20T08:26:09.415-05:00Is this a full penetration or just the explosive i...Is this a full penetration or just the explosive impact gets through?Catainiumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03034282847993394837noreply@blogger.com
