Penetration tables for all guns in game

**Windmaker** · 25-04-2011

Most new players spend hours on learning the penetration tables of units and even after many matches they still don't remember them. It's very useful for player to have those values in clear view just to know what to do or sometimes to know which tank/gun choose. I have decided that I will do that for my personal use. But as I have found Medan made something like that but for early game so I changed opinion and made it public. So to don't copy his work I have made a new penetration tables with APCR penetration data and all important information together with some comparing graphs* showing which tanks on which ranges are as good.

I hope you will like it and it'll help new players knowing some detailed facts about penetration. This is only penetration values taken from game. There is no data about armours, prices etc. Maybe in future I will add them, but for know that's all I have.

I'm sure that there will be some complaints about graphs and compared tanks. It's not ideal. I tried to compare similar units but it was not so easy because some countries simply don't have such tanks like other. So use it just as some kind of hint.

Here you can find it: http://www.militis.pl/bd/penetration.pdf -outdated!

I will update it every time new units will be added or penetration data will be changed. Also in future I'm planing to create a complete "war book" about tactics, important information etc. Just to make a guide for all new players to help them getting basics and not only of game

EDIT:

First major update for tables. I have added ISU-122 from patch 1.97.7 and changed some visual aspects of file. This version contain no graphs, they will be added in next version.

Thanks

Maybe in next few weeks I will make rest of information, but I need some time to work on them.

Small update - I have added ISU-122 to the list and clean up files a little. Next things will be added in few days.

I'm looking for your comments which information I should add to this - think about it as a guide for new players.

the Hori-2 and 1 got 180 m range, and ou forgot to add the .50 cal info

**Windmaker** · 13-11-2011

Thanks for info. I have added those information plus also penetration for AT rifles and Russian HMGs. A had to make some changes in file structure because Word PDF conversion makes terrible things...

Current version 2.1 can be found in first post.

Any other comments are welcomed, and all errors reports if there are any.

nice that you update but dont forget the AT rifle from japan and the 2nd AT from russia, also it would be good it you set the penetration of the rocket launchers(bazookas,m18 recoiless, panzershreck, etc)

Also KV-2 and ISU-152 dont have the same gun penetration

**Windmaker** · 13-11-2011

The Japan AT rifle is in - Typ 97 PCG 20 mm. The Russian AT rifle? I used one from MP. About rocket launchers I will add them in separate chapter as they have same penetration on all ranges, so they won't much the table as they should - also ranges are different so there will be not enough values in that table.

About KV-2 I didn't know that - I will check it out later.

In next bigger update I will add "real penetration" values for specific guns against some tanks - like for example Panthera and Tiger and some graphs showing differences in penetration as it's sometimes funny that you don't need to buy same heavier mediums - new players don't know that and they wait without reason for heavier tank.
