CV90 vs T-72 | Swedish 40mm APFSDS vs Main Battle Tank | Armour Penetration Simulation

The Swedish CV9040 infantry fighting vehicle features the 40mm Bofors L/70 automatic cannon, capable of firing APFSDS projectiles. The simulation presents one of these projectiles impacting the side armour of a T-72 (without ERA), at 65° -as if the T-72 was angled at 25° from head-on, at ~200m.
The T-72's side armour has been modelled with a hardness of 300BHN and it should be noted that many modernised variants have heavy ERA on ths side, which is effective against APFSDS projectiles. However, as the CV90 fires 5 rounds per second, there's a good chance that at close range, a previous shot could trigger the ERA, clearing the path for a subsequent one.
The Armour-Piercing Fin-Stabilised Discarding-Sabot projectile's design has been approximated based on information and images available online, with it being modelled as a 10x203mm Tungsten Alloy (WHA) penetrator with a muzzle velocity of 1500m/s. Dimensions were approximated from this image: www.reddit.com...

[@SYsimulations]

Yeah its quite impressive how far things have come. For the most part my ww2 models use 'good quality' armour as the bad quality ww2 ones vary too much in what makes them bad quality, and there's less data out there to calibrate against. They're still modelled as weaker than modern armour though :)

It makes sense that tactics would have been developed to counter the ERA. I can imagine hosing down such an equipped tank with HE follow up with a couple APFSDS rounds.

[@contagioushavoc5794]

Given that the Sabot rounds can activate the ERA (since the ERA is designed to counter KE and HEAT projectiles) it would not make sense to fire HE. 1. You cant tell if the enemy has ERA unless you are super close ( you might not even be able to tell what T series tank it is) 1.a. Taking the time to decide what to shoot even if you can tell is time you are not shooting 2. A sabot round can still do some damage on a side shot even if there is ERA (if nothing else because you are not guaranteed to hit the ERA). 3. The ERA types that are designed to protect against SABOT have heavy (~1inch) plates on the outside, they may not even get set off by small caliber HE

[@PanzerAce760]

@contagioushavoc5794 what about Armour piercing incendiary?

[@павел-б6н5ю]

Regarding dynamic protection, everything is very controversial. In theory, Contact-1 does not initiate from kinetic ammunition. And it is Contact 1 that is hung on board the tanks. In many tanks, this place is blocked by additional steel sheets of 20mm. Behind them is a rubber-fabric screen, so the elements of the chassis serve as additional armor. That is why the support rollers of the T-72 tank are large. And the caterpillar c is quite thick. The thickness of the armor of the T-72 tank body in some places reaches 300mm at an angle of 90. This is if with the thickness of the support roller and an additional steel plate. If there is a contact-1, this is an additional 10mm if it does not work and 200 if it works. At an angle of 60, the armor in the most protected place reaches 600mm. But in the place where the author showed, yes, there is weak armor. 80mm housing and +20mm additional plate and 20mm rubber+container contact-1. That is, only about 110mm of pure steel + 20mm of rubber. I don't know how it will delay the projectile.

[@michigancube4240]

@@PanzerAce760 largely replaced by APFSDS or APDS rounds in general, only nations that still make common use of full caliber AP rounds for their IFV/AFV/APC autocannons like AP-I or APHE is iirc Russia, China, and a few warsaw pact supplied countries. APDS and APFSDS almost exclusively have a better penetration, velocity, and post-pen shrapnel effect than full caliber rounds which is why they are largely the only real AP rounds used by most western IFVs or vehicles mounting an autocannon with cost and production chain complexity being their main limiting factor, which is usually fixed quickly in the case of war-time production. The Russians for example only barely started putting 30mm APDS rounds into production for their BMP-2/3 series of IFVs and even then they're incredibly rare in use due to the costs of production and the supply chain already in place in Ukraine using AP-I and AP-T rounds for the 30mm they use.

@@КанистраКеросина Titanium is definitely not glorifyed aluminum lol. its extremely hard and very lightweight meanwhile aluminum is very ductile and lightweight. A thin sheet of 2mm titanium can stop things like standard small caliber handgun rounds and possibly a 9mm from a distance but aluminum certainly couldn't do the same. basically look at the altyn helmet for the effectiveness of titanium, it can stop small caliber rounds while being quite thin but any rifle round, even out of a short barrel, will go through it.

Lol 200/400rpm completely counters ERA. Also with better optic and targeting and mobility it could volley and hide, also damaging the optic and main gun for the t72 to miss. If it was a big battle i would almost say the 90 would win if they dont upgrade the targeting for t72.

era doesnt do shit vs a 40 mm autocanon.... and certinly not a russian "ERA"

[@greybuckleton]

@@laves820 Russia ERA works just fine. I'm not sure why Javelins hitting the top of tanks and penetrating shocked everyone. Guess what, Abrams and Leopard have even less top armour than T90. They would blow up just as easily. Indeed we see plenty of Leopard 2s lost already to artillery and even the small Lancet drone.

can you simulate how an modern anti-tank rifle could go against tanks?

Rather RPG-7 vs CV-90 Ohh, no need to do the simulation, have been done in real life

[@leighrate]

I think one effective tactic would be to use the Bofors to neutralise the active protection, then the ATGM to administer the coup de grace. Launch the missile, then use the Bofors to deliver a time on target burst of projectiles.

Wrong. Most Russian tanks have no ERA or rubber blocks. UA confirms this.

If you look at footage, there are a lot of examples of Russian MBTs equipped with ERA.

watch the video from the Russian forces. This will give a more complete picture of the events taking place. Ukrainian propaganda greatly distorts reality. This was noticed by many independent journalists from USA and EU

That footage could be have been staged, i havnt seen footage of a russian tank being hit in the ERA and it not reacting. If this was the norm for russian tanks to have ruber evidence would support it. It however doesnt

Not exactly a staggering amount of damage, but a hole is a hole, and if that lump of superheated metal came in low towards the carousel, it'd be all you need.

[@user-qy4cf9ir5k]

The point (no pun intended) of an APFSDS, is not necessarily to cause catastrophic damage to the tank itself, but rather to creating spalling/fragmentation that'll bounce around inside and shred the crew.

[@dominuslogik484]

@@user-qy4cf9ir5k also most tank crews will not stick around after the armor has been penetrated because if one got in and nobody died you are all just lucky and waiting around for the next penetration is suicidal.
