AP Penetration Calculator & Weapon Guide

Nope, spalding is just as lethal as a round penetration and is why the new tanks (we put it in our old tanks too) have ceramic sheets put in them. Even just the flakes of paint can cause injury inside.

I always thought that it was called 'spalling"

Looks nasty.
I guess a big, non-penetrating, HE round slapping the outside of the tank would cause a lot of that to happen. Is that correct.

I heard that early WW2 tanks that were riveted together were really bad for shedding the rivets and turning them into wee projectiles.
Ouch.
