Now, that shell has pierced through the commander's hatch, but it can't get back out, so the shell either impacts into the rear of the cupola and does nothing, or, and this is more likely, it ricochets off of the back of the cupola and back into the crew compartment where it will hit someone else, or something else, like your gun's breach, your ammo rack, your gunner, your loader, and this shell is still going faster than a bat out of hell. Now according to ingame stats, the Tiger (P) has about 95 millimeters of armor on the cupola, and the 76 can pen that, so it goes through, turns your commander to nothing but a smear that explodes all over your tank's crew.
Okay, lets be a little 'Realistic' about what would happen should you shoot an Armor Piercing Capped round from, let's say, a 76mm M1 on the Sherman Easy Eight into the cupola of a Tiger P.Īlright, shell comes flying through the air at 792 meters per second, and impacts the commander's cupola going that fast.
