Question re some AT weapons
I have a couple of questions:
1. Re RPG-29 (and, to a lesser extent, DC RPG-7 and 27) rounds. According to all web available intel, the RPG-29 has a penetrating power way beyond the 60 cms/600 mms accredited by the game. Most sources claim 700-800 mms behind ERA, which seems to be confirmed by Russian trials where its warhead penetrated the frontal arch of a T-90 on numerous occations. The Metis-M with a game penetration of some 900 mms was unable to do this, and the Vikhr penetrated the front only once or twice. I know this is an easy fix, but why is it so?
2. The KEM is given a HEAT penetration of 200 cms. It is supposed to be a Kinetic Energy Missile, right, so why? Is it impossible for the game to identify an ATGM with a KE penetrator?
Thanks,
Spike
