STAND OFF AT CHECKPOINT CHARLIE SIMULATION, T 54 vs M48, BR 412 D Armour Penetration Simulation

The video presents a simulation of what may have happened if a T54 at the Checkpoint Charlie standoff engaged one of the American M48s, at only 100m range. The standoff took place on October of 1961, with the T54 likely being armed with BR412D armour piercing capped ballistic capped projectiles (APCBC), which featured improved metallurgy and hardening over Soviet WWII projectiles. It is nearly identical to the design and hardening of WWII German 75mm which was often considered one of the best AP designs of its time. The turret armour of the M48 has been based on various diagrams, which give the Line of Sight (LoS) thickness right next to the mantlet as 7 At the impact point, this LoS thickness is essentially maintained, and results in the physical thickness being 145mm, and the impact angle being 35. The Cast Homogenous Armour has been modelled as 220BHN. Amazing Thumbnail Artwork from: Leonid Kuzyakin
