Tank buster aircraft of ww24/12/2023 ![]() The Little John rounds had slightly less total energy but were concentrating it on a much smaller area, diameter of the projectile as it left the barrel was 30mm but the AP core was even smaller. 14 Important Fighter Aircraft of World War Two Messerschmitt Bf 109G-10 at the National Museum of the United States Air Force. The British 2pdr tank and anti-tank had 392,000 joules of energy in one loading and had (at the muzzle) 31,210 joules per sq cm. The Russian 23mm gun in the IL-2 had 77,400 joules for 18.650 joules per sq cm. The energy figures are at the muzzle (and gun stationary) so there will be some difference at range. German 37mm guns on the Stuka had 208,00 joules (APT) so obviously much more energy per unit of target area. Want to "bust" tanks with a P-39? yank the 37mm and fit a Hispanoįor the US 37mm aircraft gun a 30% improvement on crap is still crap. Unlike the anti-tank infantry of the Allies and the Soviets, they cannot attack aircraft.

Developed to operate in close proximity to active ground elements by way of a broad array of air-to-ground ordnance and munitions options. The Squeeze bore guns maintained the better penetration considerably longer.įor a quick method of comparing guns try calculating the Joules of energy per sq cm of target area. Many years ago, 'Life' magazine published a larger format book titled something like Life Magazine's Picture History of World War II. Better at very close range (thrown rock distance) and less at longer ranges until, with the smaller caliber guns the standard AP shot had better penetration somewhere between 5 meters depending on exact gun/ammo. Germans had little, (if any?) during the first months of Barbarossa.ĪPCR/HVAP increase the armor penetration by roughly (very roughly) 30%. H, possibly a few more Panthers and around 75 Jagdpanzer 38(t) (some from 1944) were obtained. But the British didn't get into making APCR shot for the 2pdr and 6pdr AT guns until 1943.
