DTC10-125 Manual
----
Pixel Measuring time!
116 Pixels = 125mm Diameter
---
624 Pixels = 672mm Projectile Length
[Inside its cartridge case its 680mm, maximum limit for non-upgraded autoloader]
---
571 Pixels = 615mm Tungsten Penetrator Length
-------
15 Pixels = 16mm Steel Tip
-------------
63 Pixels = 68mm Long Tungsten Carbide Core
------------
Chinese 125-I is rated 220mm @ 2000m at 61.5 degrees in Chinese 90% criteria
Issue is that LO equation only operates at 50% criteria, hence why I increased Steel BHN to 340BHN to simulate 90% criteria.
This translates to 247mm @ 2000m at 60 degrees in western 50% criteria vs 260BHN Steel.
596 Pixels = 554mm Projectile Length
468 Pixels = 435mm Penetrator Length
~26mm average diameter gives 4.03kg Penetrator Weight
1730m/s at 0m and 1610m/s at 2000m
-----------
Chinese DTC10-125 is rated 220mm @ 2000m at 71.12 degrees in Chinese 90% criteria (L/48 gun)
DTC10-125 at 90% Criteria (Simulated by using higher BHN of 340 just like we did for 125-I to match chinese figures)
1760m/s at 0m and 1650m/s at 2000m when shot from standard 125mm L/48 gun.
16mm x ~4mm avg. diameter steel Tip at 1650m/s = 2km range
615mm x ~22mm avg. tungsten penetrator at 1650m/s - 5m/s (1645m/s) due to the steel tip having to be used up first = 2km
Gives us 214 + 6 = 220mm @ 2000m at 71.12 degrees at 90% criteria
This translates to 332mm @ 2000m at 60 degrees in western 50% criteria vs 260BHN Steel.
-----------------
DTC10-125 when shot from 125mm L/54 = 1800m/s at 0m and 1690m/s at 2km.
16mm x ~4mm avg. steel tip at 1690m/s = 2km
615mm x ~22mm avg. tungsten penetrator at 1690m/s - 5m/s (1685m/s) due to the steel tip having to be used up first = 2km
Gives us 242 + 7 = 249mm @ 2000m at 68.5 degrees at 90% criteria (L/54)
This translates to 342mm @ 2000m at 60 degrees in western 50% criteria vs 260BHN Steel.
============================
DTC10-125 compared to other APFSDS at 60 degrees in LOS penetration
DTC10-125 (L/48) = 664mm @ 2000m
DTC10-125 (L/54) = 684mm @ 2000m
3BM-59 Svinets-1 = 630mm @ 2000m
3BM-60 Svinets-2 = 600mm @ 2000m
120mm OFL 120 F1 = 650mm @ 2000m
120mm DM53 (L/44) = 676mm @ 2000m
120mm DM53 (L/55) = 715mm @ 2000m
