Well, I shall tell you.

Ahem - What could possibly have gone wrong now, I hear you ask?

What went wrong?

[Troll]

In combat both proved entirely useless against the larger and better armored tanks they faced. For instance, the German army had recently introduced a new lightweight 37-mm gun, whose users quickly nicknamed it the "armored door knocker" because all it seemed to do was announce its presence.

I took the wrong turn!

[Troll]

All combatants quickly introduced newer and more powerful guns, and the anti-tank rifle had largely disappeared by 1942. The "average" gun by 1943 was 50 mm or larger, the Germans had an excellent 50-mm high-velocity design, while the British introduced the "6-pounder" which was also adopted by the US Army as the 57 mm.

I had inadvertently added an extra 300 yards to my journey.

A year later, sizes had grown due to pressure on the Eastern Front, German guns were now 75 mm and the famous 88 mm. The Soviet Red Army used a variety of general-purpose 100-mm and 122-mm guns. The British 17 pounder was less at 77 mm but delivered its amour piercing shell at high speed.

Active protection systems go one step further than reactive armour. An APS uses radar or other sensing technology to automatically react to incoming projectiles. When the system detects hostile fire, it calculates a firing resolution and directs an explosive-launched counter-projectile to intercept or disrupt the incoming fire a few metres from the target.

cooo that be clever.

[TheFaQQer]

Time was of the essence.
