Simulation of T26E1-1 tank projectile hitting the hull front armor of T-44 tank
90mm M77* (10.6kg AP projectile) at 920 m/s
vs
T-44 hull front armor (90mm RHA [260 BHN] at 60 degrees)
90mm T15E1 gun, muzzle velocity - 975m/s
90mm T15E1 gun muzzle velocity (AP) - 975 m/s. 920 m/s refers to a distance of approximately 0.35 km.
*In the community tab I have posted a performance comparison of used 90mm AP shells. The T43 (T33) AP was the standard shell used for this gun. It was a slightly modified version of the M77 (ballistic cap, heat treatment). The M77 could also be used, and its performance did not differ much from the later version of this projectile.
