I do tend to wander all around a subject, so I’ll try to stay on the reservation. Are you referring to this thread, or another?

Oh, yes I know it was off-topic :rolleyes: but definately interesting however.

Feel free to continue in ww2 armor characteristics.

Those are impressive pics, the upper one doesnt seem to have penetrated the dome, (unless that is some manner of plug to keep the rain out,) the smaller enclosure in the lower pic seems though to have been holed very handily. and the cracks outward from the point of penetration show just how effective these weapons could be. and all from a little block of guncotton… This was tried in marine torpedo warheads as well, but was not adopted for use, diffusion of the jetstream was a problem. (if I remember correctly :wink:

I think that the U.S navy Mk-50 torpedo carry a shaped charge warhead, rather weird since the times of big, heavy armored ships are long over.

I will go have a look at that one,
