Why PGZ09 Can Be Pen by 7.62mm MG?


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.

Thanks for the explanation mate, I just didn't expect that PGZ09's turret armour is sooooo weak.

Is that Chinese SPAA that weak or there's something wrong with it?? I got penetrated by a Leopard's MG today. Totally insane

Wait till you get ZTZ99 and will die to .50 cal into driver or gunner optics.

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...
