Josephs_Piano 7,044 Report post Posted April 22, 2023 Depending on velocity, etc, 8mm armour is only useful against very long range shots and irregular shapes such as shrapnel - a simple steel AP round will probably go through it at 200m, a tungsten core one 400m. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the explanation mate, I just didn't expect that PGZ09's turret armour is sooooo weak. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally insane Wait till you get ZTZ99 and will die to .50 cal into driver or gunner optics. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got penetrated by a Leopard's MG today. Totally insane Yes it is very weak...armor is only 8mm in turret. I didn't check pen, ammo and so, but that vehicle will probably die to a strong wind...so it is vulnerable to light weapons... And bear in mind....in general all vehicles have weak spots with even less armor (zero in some cases)...and a MG can fire at a very high rate of fire so it is easy to hit those spots just by walking the sight a bit... Many SPAAs are vulnerable to MGs and light guns...they are NOT designed and supposed to fight MBTs . I have no direct knowledge of this vehicle, but whenever i spot a SPAA i can usually damage it with MGs...the ones that can resist them are the exception, not the rule...
