[Chi-Nu’s missing Toku Kou AP shell with correct penetration]
Scenario 1
According to the May 1945 manual, “Tank Usage.”
“The Type 3 tank (Chi-Nu) can penetrate the front of an M4 tank hull armour (50.8mm at 56°) up to 600 meters.”
Currently with its worse shell and also impacted by how badly gaijin modelled AP/APBC rounds, the Chi-Nu is not able to penetrate the M4 Sherman frontal hull armour even at point blank range.
Scenario 2
Type 3 / Type 90 75mm guns in WT / Enlisted can only penetrate M4 Sherman hull side armour at 60 degrees up to 500m and even then its 50% chance of bounce at 60 degrees according to their dumb RNG mechanic and stat
With correctly performing Toku Kou AP, the Chi-Nu would penetrate the M4 Sherman side armour at 65 degrees up to 500m and there wouldnt be some crappy 50% chance of bounce mechanic, it would be more or less 90+% of the time.
Scenario 3
Type 3 75mm / Type 90 Guns with the worse AP round thats badly implemented cannot penetrate T-34 upper glacis even at point blank range.
Correctly modelled Toku Kou AP fired from Chi-Nu would penetrate T-34 upper glacis up to ~500m
