Just a quick update towards the games development. I have started working on adding german vehicles into the games. This devlog right now is fairly small as I am working on the Panzergranate 39/ 40 for the Pak 40 L44 and KwK 40 L48 tank gun. The shell is fairly effective against the KV-1s armour, but because of the new shell type and ballistics the armor fragmentation system has shown some bugs where the shell goes clean through without spalling. This problem is only on the hull, if you manage to penetrate the turret spalling works perfectly fine. But do take into account the test firing is at over 1.15 km or around 1500 meters so that might be the problem.

From testing the problem seems to be with the mudguard rails on the KV-1, where the shell hits the rail thinking it is some part of terrain and it goes through the tank.

But for those who are curious on the specs of the new shell here it is:

Bore Caliber: 75mm

Shell Diameter(smallest | largest) : 74.5 | 77.5

Mass: 6.8 kg

Muzzle Velocity (m/s): 770 ~ 2770 km/h ~ 1720 mp/h

Explosive Filler: 0.28 kg of TNT

Fuse Delay: 1.2 meters

Fuse Sensitivity: 15mm

Ballistic Nose Factor: ~0.4

Drag Coefficient: ~0.27

Max Amount of armor penetration : 150mm

Armor Penetration: ~106mm @ 500m @ 30 degrees from verticle

Max Impact angle: ~71 degrees

Ballistic K factor: 2000

DeMarre N factor = 1.4

Ballistic Cap and Penetration Cap

Hopefully I workout the ballistic simulation problems and implement the Panzer 4 into the game. The release of this update is TBD but should be within the end of May and middle of June (hopefully)
