WW 2 Battleship Armour Piercing Shell Efficiency.
How can we estimate the relative efficiency of Battleship APC? Well I have thought about this for some time.
The job of the shell is to defeat the armour plate and pass through in a condition fit to burst and at a certain time.
Successful perforation requires enough energy and a shell strong enough to get through. Energy is measured in MJ and strength of shell is directly related to its proofing specifications using the constant of slope efficient. Detonation energy is also measured in MJ. No attempt has been made to adjust for different types of explosive.
Kinetic energy is calculated at 20,000 yards using Maciej and Mr Jurens program in order to make sure that the results are obtained in the same way, no Apples and Oranges in other words.
The figures in red are just a number displaying the relative efficiency of each shell.
It's important to say that these are for WW 2 Battleship APC only.
