Tank armor guide (in progress)

A detailed guide on tank armor weakspots and where to prioritize when using a launcher. only about 1/5th done at the moment, I only have one model of tank done. I am hoping to eventually cover every MBT and AT launcher combination.

The HEAT round uses explosives to melt metal (Usually copper) and propel it through the armor. it is a chemical/kinetic hybrid. It does NOT use jets of plasma/heat, contrary to popular belief.

"Contrary to a widespread misconception (possibly resulting from the acronym HEAT, short for high-explosive anti-tank warhead) the shaped charge does not depend in any way on heating or melting for its effectiveness; that is, the jet from a shaped charge does not melt its way through armor, as its effect is purely kinetic in nature[3] – however the process does create significant heat and often has a significant secondary incendiary effect after penetration."

first you've said that explosion doesn't makes the damage and now you are saying that it does, Every video i've watched and you've watched it said that it doesn't matter and you still are in your imaginary world when it matters even if the shell doesn't stops and explodes before the impact it wouldn't matter just stop with your dumbfoolery and admit that you were wrong and lets delete our comments because we have 2 pages of arguing over something that is confirmed in countless documentaries, youtube videos and reaserch papers.

also kinetic rockets don't even exist like you said before

[Szpejminator 3000]

You are saying it like you are a guru in tank shells but the fact that you thought that a ground to ground missile was a kinetic one is mind boggling

[Szpejminator 3000]

also doesn't the shell stops after it hits the armor?

[Szpejminator 3000]

its like adding 1 gram to a 25ton bomb it won't matter at all in the end result.
