[QUOTE=Gavris Narcis]Hi !

After many many searches I arrived at the conclusions that ALL he shells must have a penetration 1/6 of own diameter !!
And when the dividing is not precise it must to be adjusted above.
For example: an 150 mm shell have an 1/6*150mm=25 mm penetration tickness. An 280 mm have 46,66 and it must be 47 not 46 !!!! Here the mortars have to be treated like in reality not like in H2H where the values were incredible low !

Wah!?

This is a very dangerous path to go down, if you are just examining the effect on the plate hit. A large HE shell could easily demolish a tank even if a classical penetration through a particular plate was not achieved. Seams, rivets, guns, sights blasted away. If we take a T-34 and shower it with 150mm shells, I for one do NOT like to see it suffer only scratched paint and 99 suppression. A tank would be very lucky to take a direct hit like that and continue to function in any capacity.
On the theoretical level, the amount of explosive in a shell is to the power of 3 of the diameter. Furthermore, mortar shells have a far lower explosive content than regular shells.
