AP warhead on missiles
Hello all!
First a physics question: has anyone here any hard evidence to claim EFP (explosively-formed penetrators) warheads as being closer from HEAT penetrators that AP warheads?
In terms of temperature, velocity...
I know it stands broadly on a middle ground between the two (HEAT and sabot).
The question is about the various EFP weapons (cluster bombs or ATGMs) vulnerability to ERA.
In the same way, I was wondering why the KEM/LOSAT was modelled with a HEAT warhead in the game (obat12 USA, weapon 162), while, to simplify it awfully, a KEM is a rocket-assisted sabot round?
I have tested it with an AP warhead, the results seem equivalent, total penetration against level-1 ERA, some rejection from advanced ERA, but few.
So shouldn't the various KEMs be modelled with AP warheads instead?
