As for the rounds sticking out, those were likely fused inert so they wouldn't burst anyway.Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09622237223229485503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5030145265861917845.post-76548063108276175342020-10-17T23:28:19.340-04:002020-10-17T23:28:19.340-04:00I'm confused by looking at some of the penetra...I'm confused by looking at some of the penetration photos. Are those unexploded rounds still sticking our of the armor?<br /><br />Also, was the German '88 mm gun' referred to as failing to penetrate the L56 or the L71? You'd think the L56 based on just comparison with the US 90 mm test results, but there were few Tiger Is left by that time (only 3 encounters with US tanks, I believe) so it would have to be the AA gun version if that. Else it would have to be the Kwk43, but it would be performing worse than the US 90 mm in testing.Stewart Millenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01261690405884935161noreply@blogger.com
