ORIGINAL: Yoozername You are getting as mysterious as Ratski. I have no clue what you are going on about....again. Ah mystery, I like reading and commenting here, it's like dangling a carrot from a string in front of a mule with you, I know what is gonna happen next, and you never fail to deliver, but it always makes me smile. And here I thought that you said that you were done talking to me. I think that what we have here is a failure to communicate, so I will put it to ya one more time, and maybe you can answer the questions that pertain to your statements early in the thread. Thusfar you have avoided them. So here goes, and I am not gonna search through this thread for posts, you know that they arre there, youcan look for them if you need to. 1)Your statement about the sloped face hardened plate being grerat and then the 50mm plate behind being the best protection against Russian shells. I put out a quote from a naval study that would show this to be incorrect. What would be your answer to this? 2)From this naval study, it would appear that a capped round would perform better against this face hrdened plate, not only with penetration but blowing a plug out the back side as well. I believe that you stated that a capped round would perform worse as to the shoulder striking the plate instead of the tip. Could you prove your statement? 3)You stated that this armor configuration would stand up against all but bigger calibres and higher velocities. Again, I go back to the naval study that says that lower velocities would cause face hardened plate failure. Plus the statement is not even remotely factual as there are several smaller rounds that outperform larger calibres. I do not know why you would even make this statement as it is a false statement across the board. Can you enlighten how bigger and faster is always better, as this is what you statement's logical conclusion is? 4)Why did the Germans add the 30mm of additional armor over the 50mm that was already there? 5)Why did the Germans add (in this case concrete, but it could have been anything) again over this spot that you claim to be a superior armor configuration? 6) Can you explain how sloped face hardened plate is superior as you stated when again the naval study says that sloped face hardened plate performs poorly and is really only mean to stop perpendicular shell penettration? 7)80mm of solid plate is superior to 30mm+50mm, I think that we can all agree to this. So why are you so hung up on the plate total thickness? I seem to recall seeing somewhere that this configuration would yield somewhere about 70mm protection, I do not have this number for a fact, but I might look for it again and see if I can find it. Mobius would be better to comment on this then I. If this is the case, would then the Russian 76mm be able to penetrate fairly reasonably within it's effective range? If you disagree, can you explain? This is a start, now I have poked fun at you from time to time, but you have to admit, that from the start of this thread you have come across like an al-knowing pompous a-hole. If you can't see that, I truely feel sorry for you. Here is a chance to answer my questions, that I think are valid, and if you are as knowledgable as you claim to be, they should be no problem. This is your chance to show me what you know and produce the tests and facts to back your claims up. I for one would not be oppposed to being shown that you have been right all along. Education is good for everyone. Having a discussion is what this is all about, think about it, I ventured out into the bush with a mosin-negat, and shot at some concrete blocks to see what would happen. I was a little suprised, I would have liked to have recovered some full metal jacketed bullets and had a couple more chunks of concrete to test out some other things, but it does show that some of us are willing to learn. Now do your bit, you have made some statements, now like the concrete shoot-out in the snow, produce some facts to prove your arguements. Thanks
