Mr Luxury Yacht posted:I'm just skeptical everything was calculated correctly given the whole FCM 36/Ha Go fiasco. An important consideration is that shells with a penetration depth fuse don't actually have a penetration depth fuse but an impact activated delay fuse. So these guns will hit a 15mm armour plate, embed themselves in it and then explode, spalling the gently caress out of the tank's interior.

Jobbo_Fett posted:The Yaks are supposed to use inert gas which should choke the fire, but that might be why it isn't sealing properly. I have to re-read up on their SST's though. They use gas inerting to stop the fuel tanks from exploding, it doesn't help the fire going on outside the fuel tank after a leak. A lot of American planes just put the fuel inside an expanding rubber bladder instead, which was lined with a self-sealing material. No air == no explosions inside the fuel tanks.

Solumin posted:The one last point about the 40t, which applies to all of the French auto loaders, is always keep track of your auto loader!! You do not want to get stuck waiting for the whole thing to reload. The AMX 13 75 has to be reloaded from outside the tank, which is always fun. The French did not consider this a problem, if you couldn't win a tank battle in 6 shots it meant you'd lost. Especially in something as dinky as the AMX 13.
