APFSDS-T VS Various Armor (AL Alloy, RHA, Tungsten Alloy, Depleted Uranium, Titanium, Plastic, Iron)

for anyone wondering, maraging steel is a steel with nickel, molybdenum, cobalt, a little bit of titanium and way less carbon than regular steel which makes dummy thicc, dummy solid and very good at stopping fast moving progectiles.





you're welcome :)

What software is this??

Nice little game you have. Used to play one just like it in the school library. Hilarious how people think that this is reality.

The polyethylene armor held up quite well!

Tungsten my beloved

can you please check your spelling, i noticed many errors in this video

I mean if you use copper piping filled tightly with kevlar am just saying it's gonna stop a lot of stuff if you have 3 roes of 6 pipes each

What avout Type 10 nano-crystal steel armor?

so i guess lego tanks are not valid in ww3😭😭

I wonder what would be best armor ignoring the price.

My brain feels dwarfed over the knowledge of this video, i feel like an ancient human

Do not make my tank out of Polyethylene, Armco Iron, or Aluminum Alloy; got it. Will use Maraging Steel, DU, or Tungsten Alloy instead.

Can't believe such a light weight metal is better than iron. You are basically saying I can block an apfsds projectile with my implants better than that iron armor...

I was surprised that the plastic managed to damage the APFSDS penetrator at all.

why is Titanium so weak here?

Titanium strength to weight 💪

War Thunder Devs better be watching

What is this song dawg, are you presenting tank rounds or expensive wines?💀💀💀💀💀💀

most viewed, ah yes, I see everyone wanted to watch plastic get absolutely destroyed by an APFSDS round

You should do AP rounds, then to APHE, then APCBC to show how it evolves when penning armor

Wait.....the plastic block deforms the tungsten rod very significantly. Looks like a very unvalidated model. Im very skeptical of FEA unless you see the actual experimental results by comparison, albeit difficult to do at home unless you have a tank and firing range.....

Bro the piano at the backrounds playing hella fire music

Finally, some music

Raise your hand if for one second you didn't think a sabot round wouldn't blast through plastic armor without even trying.
✋

Great video. Id love to see this, but with various composite setups. E.g, rubber and RHA, etc. It doesnt necessarily have to be real life composite's, can be whatever you come up with.

I have one conclusion about plastic.
Seems that for example Leopard2 should have plastic inside turret long kesons because plastic seems to have property of rotating arrow more than empty space

I would love to see how double the length of aluminium would perform, since it would still be MUCH lighter than the other metals.

"Plastic armor was HIGHLY effective at stopping AP bullets"
Shows it being absolutely obliterated



Are you sure about that?

Wth is that backround music are you shooting shells or lullaby soundwaves

the speed is a bit alright, but we also need to know the weight of the projectile. the L23A1 is the older of the bunch, so we can say its about 7.5kg at best. similar to how other rounds around the time of other types of this projectile are being used.

Music took me off guard, I'm accustomed to have 0 audio from this kind of video and I though the sound came from my house lol, nice details

Terrible choice of music. It is unwatchable

Seems like the germans where onto something with the RHA

i love how even the text is lagging

APFSDS vs stone

At these speeds, plastic should have similar properties to fuel. Could placing fuel at the front improve armor. Piercing the outer layer would probably result in an explosion like it is seen in movies, but this should not concern the interior of the tank.

can someone work out the efficiency, weight to preformance which ones out be the best pound for pound at stopping rounds

I'd like to see 700mm of Nokia 3210 armor

Where is diamond or graphene armor types? So combination of maraging steel plates and graphene plates with ceramic plates 1200-1400 mm overall wight with 85-87 mm angles to increase ricochets probability will be most effective.

Jesus Christ… Literally no one in this entire fecking comment section did the correct math and identified the material that is actually the best at stopping the projectile per unit of weight.
How hard is it to take the percentage penetration and apply it to the weight of the 700mm block to get the necessary block weight to stop the projectile?

Winner is Titanium followed by the one two rows down.

Sometimes I can’t help but think I am a genius. The only reason that I do t think I am a genius is because I can see just how stupid most people have gotten.

Very Nice - Thanks ! ! !
🙂😎👍

Do Chuck Norris's Fist next.

nice comparison

Yeah that music is trash

Could have been more better to add B4C to the list.

How closely your depleted uranium target would relate to the depleted uranium of Abram and Challenger2 tanks? Is that pure non alloyed depleted depleted uranium? Thank you.

Also could you do carbon nanotube and graphene?

maraging steel not a bad thing

Plastic gets a participation award.

pretty sure plastic made it worse

Если кому интересно что такое "Maraging Steel" - то это "Мартенситоратериющая сталь". :)
