oh man you are so..... i will get back to you soon
on a side note: 580 mm rod (length of rod alone) can penetrate 600-630 mm armour easily if traveling at 1700 m/s or more.
I didnt say anything about armour bins though they are improved in most mbts incuding Russkies. Ammo is less likely to catch fire than it used to before. Only M-1 has a truely seperate ammo compartment. Rest has a mix of both.
Agreed.
Still waiting for those pics
Btw i am still waiting for the operational NIaza 2 round pic on your tank,with your penetration value.Not the fake pic u posted.That won't have anything more than 450-550 mm.
On armour bins agreed.
As for 600-630 mm yes thats quite possible for latest chinese rounds,its nothing really out of the world.The earlier pic u posted on the three chinese apfsds rounds,one on the right can have that value true.But i doubt standard PA tanks use the same round as the latest chinese round on the type-99.
The truth it seems to me is that no side in question here has any rounds like DM63/M29A3 [with near 900-1000mm penetration] that can penetrate frontal armour of these tanks which when covered with ERA/composite armour blocks.Key will be tactics,flanking and hitting weak spots as weak spots and flanks can be concievably penetrated by even standard niaza 1,mango 500-550 mm rounds.
